The cheeky tactics owners REALLY use to sign players

The boys are back in town! After feasting themselves on some lovely and dare we say massive, Christmas puddings - Crouchy, Chris and Sids are back in the driving seats talking all things football.
On today’s episode, the boys are discussing all thing club ownership, something which pipped their interest after sitting down with the one and only Sir Elton John.
We look at the extent to which owners are involved in the day to day running of the club (both on and off the field) the tricks of the trade that they use to get some of the bigger personalities to come and sign for the club (shout out bridgey) and if owners can ever lose the dressing room…

Next Paddy Power challenge - all 3 to retake their driving practical test. Wonder how they would do?😂😂

[@testadalord01432]

Crouchy’s coming out with no minors then 😂

[@RegTheRed96]

Get the pictures you’re talking about on screen lads

[@jimledge5438]

[@jimledge5438]

[@duzzyclayton5821]

[@AlanBourdillionTrehearne]

Jesus Christ, put the photos on screen

[@joshyboy333]

Seatbelt before the ignition killed me 😂

[@philbobagbox1177]

Please put the pictures up for us to see. Happy Christmas/New Years boys. 👍🏻

[@MrMatthiasSchneider]

Notorious seems like a genuinely decent, empathetic human being.

[@500degreeeeees]

Time to wrap a spliffta and enjoy the show. Thanks guys

[@davem.4705]

Happy new year lads, thanks for the laughs and keep up the fantastic work. Puddings has become a standard adjective for the group chat when something's massive or awesome and there's so many opportunities for it to be incorporated into the pod or even punditry as everyday language. Get involved and all the best for 2024

[@QueerChica]

Fascinating story about Berbatov. I remember the goal at the time as well x

[@OfficialFingazMC]

So hungover, but the alert woke me up, so I'm watching, nice one lads!

[@Lard2112]

Same here, empty Kraken bottle on the table

[@Isaac-nb9ev]

Please get Tony Pulis on lads 👍🏻

[@LouisNicholson-my4yv]

They've had him on once before in the first season mate if you've not seen that already. Would be great to have him on again though.

[@toddoframsgate1393]

Happy new Year Guys. ❤

[@kf8436]

Great set up over a hotel "curtains n that" 😂

[@jaynebradley5743]

"Chin rest" 😂😂😂😂

[@ScottJonesy]

As someone enough was close to the previous QPR Board... I could fill up a pod with stories about Briatore and Ecclestone easily 😉

[@whitenbald]

Chris repping art of football. My favourite football brand.

[@matthew-thomasplant3542]

Chris, you’ve had an absolute mare with the ‘North Korean Hotel’ analogy 😆. Most hotels don’t have a 13th floor, due to superstitions or ‘triskaidekaphobia’…North Korea has a hotel that has never functioned as a hotel and has lay dormant since it was built.

[@CESARTHEEDITOR]

Hey Peter Crouch I’m such a huge fan and your even in my fifa Ultimate team

[@wolfie121979]

Happy Xmas ballbags

[@sideakin9272]

Brilliant pod glad you mentioned the lower leagues My team (DRFC) got relegated from the league. ( there's was a doc made)The owner tried to have the main stand burnt down to claim the insurance. John Ryan fan & self made millionaire (famously the man behind mellinda messengers "frontage ") first game at Dover no kit. Eventually took us to a new stadium Wembley the millennium the championship Now under different ownership who treat the club like an albatross round their necks we're back in the doldrums

[@matthew-thomasplant3542]

Sids is fiercely committed to the dark green and khaki combo. Strong look to be fair

[@flickflack18]

Totally spot on about sports here in America. The system we have only benefits the owners. Keep promotion/relegation - it's a much better way. Teams here fucking lose on purpose, it's dumb as hell.

[@joeldepas9928]

Crouchy, transfers are the same as a trade for American sports basically. They have a contract still but another team wants them. As an American i stopped following and caring about our sports and really only follow European football and appreciate the long lasting culture and way to think about it.

[@NotDabberz]

I met you at Longleat park and you are sooo tall!

[@davidmcdonald7189]

I am a scunthorpe fan, and what crouchy read out is just the highlights, the last owner, didt pay any bills or anything. Think gary neville said about vetting for club owners, that should be enforced. Thankfully we have a new owner and fans have got behind them but i think we are a long way off being stable again

[@benhall7796]

Sandro ingrown-Tonali 😆

[@tonyjofenig6833]

Favorite Christmas song, but it's not really a Christmas song. Fairytaile Of New York. RIP Shane MacGowan and Kirsty MacColl

[@trapgod9690]

I reckon you could easily get Bryan Mbuemo to get 'Puddings is Massive' Or maybe Declan rice that would go well with Rice rice baby 😂

[@testadalord01432]

Declan Rice does it and it’s literally on brand haha

[@Tipps72]

In theory it would be great if every club was run for the benefit of the football club & the supporters but the reality is that more or less every supporter expects their club to buy new players in every transfer window regardless of how much they’re in debt or how much they have already spent. Every club strives to improve, regardless of how well they are performing or what their finances are like, as a result you end up with clubs spending money that they simply don’t have & that then ends up with clubs being in the shit! I was hoping that the affects of the pandemic on football would have caused clubs/the football authorities to reset everything! Transfer fees, player wages & agents fees are unsustainable & as a result it will only see more clubs going to the wall.

[@barryhind412]

so is any sport where huge transactions are involved ie boxing

[@thepixel5]

Boys love the show, but it's time to invest in some wireless microphones! x

[@davidjones88]

Seatbelt before ignition is standard, who wouldn't do that? The idea of doing it the other way around is bonkers. Seatbelt on then begin driving, why would you begin the driving sequence then stop to buckle up? Bizarre.

[@matthewemery6670]

makes sense for Martin O'Neill meeting there, he only lives down the road from it. Used to live near him

[@mustafakulucan3660]

Please get Declan rice to pull his shirt up when he scores. Rice puddings I’d massive 😂😞

[@Greatitaly]

❤

[@johnbarnes8755]

I think you'll find the correct term is 'Boffins Bridge'.

[@deewrld9085]

@JohnNellis sent me

[@areyoulocal6469]

Chris always on his phone

[@jamesioannou7157]

John challis

[@mikeandrew4948]

One thing fixes everything. Ffp should be every year not spread over five. Simple

[@maddoxbehnfeldt973]

not how the draft works in America. You are drafting players out of college teams which would be the equivalent of youth academies or lower leagues

[@jackabalas]

Barse.
