After a non-Premier League weekend, inspired by a Discord question we speculate what would happen if every single Premier League manager became a free agent in the summer. Would clubs stick or twist with their current coach? 

We play The Rondo, it’s another bad week for JJ…

We discuss if the notion of The Big 6 clubs is done and dusted if Tottenham Hotspur are relegated.

We then speak about how the current war in the Middle East may impact the men’s World Cup and is impacting the Women’s Asia Cup currently.  

This episode of the Tifo football podcast is hosted by Joe Devine, features Reuben Pinder, JJ Bull & Colin Millar and is produced by Steve Hankey.

When Thomas Frank was appointed Tottenham Hotspur’s new head coach in June 2025, his task was to rebuild the club’s culture. But the defining image of his tenure — or rather the defining sound — was booing. And booing directed specifically at him. On today's Tifo Football Podcast, Joe Devine & Jon Mackenzie read and analyse Jack Pitt-Brooke and Jay Harris' inside read on Thomas Frank's sacking at Spurs. In this new format, 'Ring For Analysis', conversation ranges from booing, to unconscious downing of tools and a points-per-game quiz.
