We start the podcast with the sad news that Pep Guardiola鈥檚 mother has died after contracting coronavirus. We hear from our European football broadcaster Guillem Balague, who wrote a biography about the Manchester City manager. There鈥檚 reaction to the breaking news that Liverpool have reversed their decision to place some non-playing staff on temporary leave and apologised to fans. Did they bow to backlash or simply realise they鈥檇 made a mistake? We get a Liverpool fan鈥檚 perspective from John Gibbons from the Anfield Wrap. With discussions about Premier League pay cuts dominating headlines and players set to start negotiations, we ask if the whole situation is damaging for football. And after Alan Shearer revealed he almost signed for Manchester United, Chris Sutton reveals that the Red Devils tried to sign him from Norwich, and part of the process involved an undercover assessment from a former SAS soldier. Did he pass or fail? Listen to find out.
