## Resource

Mark & Nedum are joined by West Ham 's all-time Premier League goalscorer Michail Antonio , days after the club's relegation - ending a 14-year stay in the top flight. Michail lifts the lid on major decisions which he feels contributed to the club's decline in recent years; the controversial move to the London stadium , club training facilities, the appointment of Graham Potter as manager and how the club handled his exit last year following a very public car accident . Plus, Jarrod Bowen 's West Ham future & World Cup squad omission, Declan Rice's Champions League chance and more. Michail Antonio's new book, ‘ Humans not Robots: when elite sport and real life collide’ is out on June 4th. 📩 Got a question for The Sports Agents? https://forms.gle/9SBbW1SYWqXLKnRT7 💭 Take our listener survey: https://forms.gle/YMUvajQktqBuimgh6 🖥️ Watch our full episodes on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@SportsAgentsPod 📱Follow us on socials: TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@thesportsagents Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/thesportsagents/ X - https://x.com/sportsagentspod 📥 Email: thesportsagents@global.com Executive Producer: Adonis Pratsides Producers: George Sexton-Kerr Video Producer: Samuel Trudgill Social Media Editor: Jasmine Wissart Tom Hughes is Editor for The News Agents podcast network Vicky Etchells is the Commissioning Editor for Global You can listen to this episode on Alexa - just say "Alexa, ask Global Player to play The Sports Agents". 👕 The Sports Agents have merch!
