Outspoken with White and Jordan
Has Thomas Tuchel been rewarded for nothing?
In a week of seismic news just as the show begins, today was no different, as the FA confirmed that Thomas Tuchel will remain as England's manager until after Euro 2028... What's changed? And what happens if England fail at the World Cup? Elsewhere, Nottingham Forest have sacked their boss Sean Dyche - how would a fourth appointment succeed where the others have failed? Our Chief Football Correspondent, Alex Crook, joined to discuss those stories and the latest regarding Spurs' search for a new manager... and after Manchester United co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe said the "UK has been colonised by immigrants", should he apologise? Plus, it’s Thursday, so we chatted boxing with our fight pundit, Spencer Oliver, Nick Ball’s trainer Paul Stevenson, and top trainer Andy Lee.
