In this episode of The Confessional, Roger Mitchell sits down with Charlie Methven for a sharp, candid conversation about leadership, football, and the hard lessons that come with both.  Charlie reflects on the personal cost of a life lived on the move, the tension between honest words and public perception at Sunderland, and why he believes the game is shaped as much by identity and feeling as by facts and numbers.  He also opens up about the responsibility that comes with transformation, the trade-offs behind ambition, and the value of saying difficult truths even when they’re uncomfortable.
