In this episode of Stick to Football brought to you by Sky Bet, Gary, Roy, Jill, Ian and Paul Scholes are joined by former Everton and Burnley manager Sean Dyche for a wide-ranging and honest conversation. Dyche opens up about his journey in football, from his early days at Chesterfield and Nottingham Forest to life on the touchline at Burnley and Everton. He shares behind-the-scenes stories about working with players like Ashley Barnes and Scott Arfield and reflects on the unexpected rise of some of his most trusted pros. He gives a frank account of the challenges he faced at Everton, including financial issues, boardroom uncertainty and the impact of the club’s points deduction. Dyche breaks down his straightforward football philosophy, built on fitness, mentality and organisation over modern tactical trends. The conversation turns to the state of British coaching, the dominance of foreign managers in the Premier League and the uphill battle English coaches face when trying to land top jobs. Dyche also gives his take on VAR, diving in the game and how media pressure and fan expectations can shape the lifespan of a manager. The episode wraps up with Dyche looking ahead to the future and reflecting on the biggest lessons from his career in management. This episode is brought to you by Huel.

In this episode of Stick to Football, brought to you by Sky Bet, the team is joined by none other than Ruud Gullit — Ballon d'Or winner, footballing trailblazer, and one of the game’s all-time icons. Ruud takes us on a fascinating trip down memory lane, opening up about what it was like being the first Dutch manager in the Premier League, his time at the helm of Chelsea and Newcastle, and how he made the leap from player to manager — including all the highs, lows, and lessons along the way. Of course, we couldn’t let him go without chatting about his incredible playing career. From growing up under the influence of Johan Cruyff, to forming that legendary trio with Marco van Basten and Frank Rijkaard at AC Milan, Ruud shares stories that shaped an era of football. He also reflects on the cultural impact of his signature dreadlocks and how his unique style helped inspire a new generation of players. It’s a rare chance to hear from one of the sport’s true greats — a man whose passion for football still burns bright and whose impact is still being felt today.
