    The Hard Truth.... indeed.
    Fascinating look into the world of football club ownership. My father used to play for the posh in the 70’s and it’s really interesting to see how the club is blossoming.
  • A man in the know
    Wonderful
    What a great podcast, it’s a brilliant insight into life, football and business. The two hosts are brutally honest (that’s the idea!) and it’s a great link back home for the exiled soccer fan! Great work!
