Welcome back to Whistleblowers!

This week, Nick Kyrgios joins Gordon Smart, Ian Ladyman, and Mark Clattenburg for a no-holds-barred conversation about tennis, tantrums, and tradition. Kyrgios opens up on everything from dodgy umpiring tech and hostile crowds to towel theft and the challenges of being a maverick in a conservative sport. He even challenges Clattenburg on what it would be like to ref him - and why tennis umpires could never survive on a football pitch.

The lads then turn their attention to football, and Chelsea’s financial trouble. With UEFA threatening to ban unregistered players from European competition, we dive into how the club's transfer splurge could leave them short. Is a £27m fine enough of a deterrent? Will homegrown talent get sacrificed to balance the books? And why isn’t this story getting more attention?
