Football Ramble

This little gap in football's relentless onslaught means Marcus, Luke and Pete have time to talk about some managerial changes in the Championship, as two legends at each end of the managerial spectrum take up new roles. Wayne Rooney stepped up at Derby for the time being, while Tony Pulis began his 11th managerial stint after taking the Sheffield Wednesday job!

Elsewhere, we check in with José Mourinho after an international break jam-packed with fun and frivolity. We also hear the tale of ‘The Google Striker’, catch up with Wrexham’s potential new owners and dial in for our regularly scheduled update from the Faroe Islands handball scene.
