Tifo Football Podcast
Which Premier League managers would be rehired? Is the big 6 finished? And Iran & the World Cup.
•
After a non-Premier League weekend, inspired by a Discord question we speculate what would happen if every single Premier League manager became a free agent in the summer. Would clubs stick or twist with their current coach?
We play The Rondo, it’s another bad week for JJ…
We discuss if the notion of The Big 6 clubs is done and dusted if Tottenham Hotspur are relegated.
We then speak about how the current war in the Middle East may impact the men’s World Cup and is impacting the Women’s Asia Cup currently.
This episode of the Tifo football podcast is hosted by Joe Devine, features Reuben Pinder, JJ Bull & Colin Millar and is produced by Steve Hankey.
