Outspoken with White & Jordan
Fact from Fiction - Footballing Tropes Under The Microscope | Three Up Front
•
In this episode of Three Up Front, with special guest Henry Winter, the panel are set the task of challenging football’s conventional wisdom.
For example, are football agents really the scourge of the modern game, or actually useful allies? Is Russell Martin’s ‘philosophy’ at Southampton destined only for the Championship? Contrary to popular belief, does the Chelsea board actually know what it is doing? And despite the top ten teams in the Premier League being managed by foreign coaches, are British coaches STILL just as good as they are?
Simon, Troy, Graeme and Henry examine all that and more as they put common footballing theories under the microscope.
