Mark Ogden - The tip that changed football

ESPN's Mark Ogden joins us in the Owner’s Box to take us inside one of the biggest stories in football history — the day Sir Alex Ferguson quit Manchester United.   From getting the tip off to the moment of relief when Manchester United announced Sir Alex Ferguson’s departure, Ogden shares his perspective on the pressures, access and responsibility that comes with breaking such a momentous story.  Offering also a rare insight into the inner workings of the media around Old Trafford, he also recalls the media bans, hairdryer treatments and memorable moments from the press box.  Ogden then reflects on the managers who have caught his eye in the modern game, explaining why Luis Enrique stands out as one of the most impressive figures in football today and why Sam Allardyce should have stayed on as England manager.  Smart. Honest. Unfiltered. This is SACKED!

Former Chelsea Defender Michael Duberry: From Bell’s Palsy to European Glory

On Matchday 6 of SACKED! in partnership with The Brain Charity, we sit down with former Chelsea, Leeds United, Stoke City and Reading centre back Michael Duberry to share his powerful story about resilience, perseverance and the realities of life at the top of the game. But one of the most remarkable moments of his career came when he was diagnosed with Bell's palsy just days before the UEFA Cup Winners’ Cup final. Unable to properly move part of his face, Duberry reveals how he handled the diagnosis, earned his place in the starting XI and survived the dressing room culture of the time. He also opens up about the tougher chapters of his career, including difficult moments when a club no longer wants you and a relationship with a manager breaks down. Along the way, Duberry shares stories about teammates and life at the top of the game in the late ‘90s and early 2000s — from limo rides with Linda Lusardi to stories about Diego Maradona from Gus ‘Radio’ Poyet. This episode is a candid and revealing conversation about what it really takes to survive and thrive in professional football. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

Former Manchester United coach René Meulensteen: The Death of the No.9 And the Disappearing Wingers

On Matchday 5 of SACKED!, we sit down with former Manchester United coach Rene Meulensteen — and what starts as a chat quickly becomes an identity crisis for the modern game. Who killed the No.9? Why don’t wingers like David Beckham, Ryan Giggs and Andrei Kanchelskis take on full-backs and whip crosses in for a centre-forward anymore? Meulensteen reflects on an era when United fans were spoiled by elite finishers such as Wayne Rooney, Andy Cole, Dwight Yorke, Ruud van Nistelrooy, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Teddy Sheringham — a golden generation of No.9s who defined a dominant period in the Premier League. Those days feel long gone. Today’s game is different — more systems, fewer mavericks — and fans are crying out for creativity, drama and exuberance from modern stars. Meulensteen also delivers brilliant insight from his time working alongside Sir Alex Ferguson at Old Trafford, offering a rare glimpse into the standards, psychology and philosophy behind one of football’s greatest dynasties. It’s a fascinating, honest and provocative conversation about how — and why — the modern game has changed. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

SACKED! The Super League Was Big Six Greed – John Cross

Fleet Street powerhouse John Cross joins Neil Ashton in the Owner’s Box to discuss football’s biggest crises and the decisions that changed the course of history. From opposing the European Super League “for the fans,” to the toughest managerial departure he’s covered — the end of Arsène Wenger at Arsenal. He reveals how Arsenal nearly signed a young Cristiano Ronaldo from Sporting CP — but simply couldn’t afford him because of financial constraints in the years leading up to them leaving Highbury for the Emirates. In Sackology: The manager who should never have been fired? Mauricio Pochettino — “he performed miracles.” Why Poch should never go back. His most under-appreciated players of the modern era: Ashley Cole and Didier Drogba. And in one of the most emotional moments yet, John shares what happened at the FA Cup Final in 2014 just days after losing his father — when Arsenal’s CEO Ivan Gazidis and the Kroenke family came over to console him during a period of grief.
