Episode Notes

The Premier League's two smartest, most upwardly-mobile teams, Brighton and Brentford, are currently third and fourth in the table. Is it too soon to talk about Champions League football? What do we actually mean by 'well-run’, and does it go further than just having an algorithm to identify talent? And given the Manchester City scandal, why is the success of these teams potentially so valuable to the league itself? Jack Pitt-Brooke is joined by John Brewin and Rory Smith, plus a special cameo.
