Ring for Analysis: Liverpool's Multi-Club Confusion Mar 27, 2026

But today, it seems unlikely that FSG will follow through on this expectation.

On today's episode, Joe & Jon perform Ring for Analysis, while reading through James Pearce's story on this topic, discussing what this means for Liverpool, FSG and Michael Edwards' future. https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/7125072/2026/03/20/liverpool-fsg-michael-edwards-future/

Which Premier League managers would be rehired? Is the big 6 finished? And Iran & the World Cup. Mar 09, 2026

Show notes

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.
