This week Sam & Natalie are joined by the CEO of the LMA (League Managers Association)...RICHARD BEVAN! Richard Bevan sits down alongside Sam Allardyce and Natalie Pike to discuss all things football from an independent regulator in football to how we can best improve VAR. They start the pod by talking about the role of the LMA in football and how it works with hundreds of managers and coaches in the game with finding new jobs as well as supporting those who have recently lost their positions in football. Richard, Sam & Natalie then chat in detail about the perceived decline of British managers over the years from the likes of Sir Alex Ferguson, Brian Clough and Sir Bobby Robson and ask the question does Britain still produce world class managers? The trio then talk about the manager merry-go-round in football, why 50% of first time managers never get a 2nd job and what more can owners do to support young and aspiring managers in the game? Richard, Sam & Natalie then talk about the incoming independent football regulator and whether football needs one and why Sam has his concerns about whoever takes up that position. The Trio discuss a range of topics from how to improve VAR by pairing referees and VAR together to better improve relationships, the rise of overseas fixtures and why it wont be happening in the Premier League and also the fantastic campaigns the LMA runs including their mental health campaigns. Finally they end the podcast with some quickfire questions including if they could introduce one new rule to football, what would it be? 📲 Bet £10 Get £30 in free bets + £10 Casino Bonus & Get a Bet Builder BOOST & WIN 25% More On Every Premier League Game👇 https://ads.boylesports.com/redirect.... 18+.
