About this episode
The episode explores the evolving role and significance of football managers throughout history.
Join SC Libero, the most important of the least important membership clubs, now: liberopodcast.com. — From Matt Busby to Liam Rosenior, even harking back from the Wilsonian era of the late 19th century, how has the role and the standing of the football manager changed? Certain football clubs may act as if managers and head coaches are no longer their most important employees but certain managers still overshadow their clubs. Join Rory Smith, John Brewin and Jonathan Wilson for the first of a two-parter, the second episode available only to SC Libero's Einsteins, Special Ones and El Puta Jefe later this week. P1: (03:56) P2: (35:40) As you may have seen, we are doing our first live show. It's on 22nd May, doors 7pm at The Venue on the ICMP Queens Park Campus in west London (home of the Long Play Sessions). There will also be copies of the various books of the Liberi on sale and they may even sign them for you. The link for tickets is here.
