172 | Why Don't Premier League Clubs Want Winners In The Dugout?

This is not an episode about Manchester United, but the odd situation where reports suggest by the far most qualified person to solve the problematic lack of success Old Trafford is considered behind managers with lesser qualifications does raise some questions. The serial winner on the market is of course Antonio Conte, so what does it say about the executives running top clubs that the Italian is seen as a risky option when he has consistently shown he can deliver the thing they all claim to want, trophies? Rory Smith is joined by James Horncastle and Miguel Delaney.
