It’s been a busy 48 hours since our last show… Spurs decided to sack head coach Thomas Frank after just 8 months in charge. How right Frank was when he told us on this show: “If I ever got the offer from a bigger club and I decided to go there, it would probably not make my life better”.And at about midnight on Wednesday night news broke that Nottingham Forest had sacked their third manager this season, Sean Dyche, after just 114 days in the job.At this rate, maybe only Thomas Tuchel will still be in a job until 2028? Mark is joined by The Athletic’s Tottenham Reporter, Jay Harris, and the former Liverpool & Chelsea Managing Director, and Aston Villa CEO, Christian Purslow, who is also the co-host of The Football Boardroom podcast with Henry Winter. 📩 Got a question?

All that plus Mark and Gabby interview 2026’s answer to Torville and Dean - Lilah Fear and Lewis Gibson - who’ve been dancing to none other than the Spice Girls.Plus we chat about a sopping wet Six Nations, the Man United fan who might finally cut his hair, the Super Bowl, and why Mark's being compared to Bad Bunny. 📩 Got a question?
