On this week’s episode of the Peter Crouch Podcast, Pete, Sids, and Chris get real about one of the biggest turning points in a football manager's career… when they lose the dressing room. The lads, who’ve been there before, share firsthand examples of managers letting it slip, as well as the ripple effect this has on team morale, communication, and performance. Senior players hold incredible sway, and their support (or lack of it) can make or break a manager’s fate. We also delve into Aston Villa’s OUTRAGEOUS fines, sharing notes on the pitch, and send a call out to all of the managers out there - have you lost the office? Let us know in the comments and we can help you get it back! Finally to top it all off, do we FINALLY have a paella for one?!
