Today, we’re back in the North West, if not in football’s birthplace then in the cauldron in which it was refined.
Burnley’s Turf Moor has, against the expectations of many pundits - professional and armchair alike, continued to enjoy Premier League football for the last three seasons. Each year, there are naysayers who predict the club to drop back into the Championship but it never happens.
Much of this is to do with their long-serving manager, Sean Dyche, who has dragged Burnley Football Club with him into the top division of English football and kept them there unrelentingly.
But will a fourth season be too much? Can they defy the odds once again? Or is modern football just too money-driven?
Joining us on the show today is Natalie Bromley, who is, amongst other things, a poker player, a lawyer and a self-confessed ‘feisty Claret’.
She is also the editor of the Burnley podcast No Nay Never and weekly Clarets Columnist in the Lancashire Evening Telegraph.
