Episode Notes

Is there a bad time to take the Manchester United job? Almost certainly yes. Does that make it easy to turn down? Certainly not. These tough choices can be the difference between a glorious managerial career and having to rebuild your reputation at FC Twente. The allure of The Big Job™ will always turn heads and it forms the centre of discussion between Jack Pitt-Brooke, Rory Smith and John Brewin here.
