Episode 2742: Old Trafford Boos, Football Men Love De Zerbi, Investigations Into New Everton Owners

“There’s no new way to play football,” Graeme Souness told us at the Olympia on Thursday night. But has anyone mentioned this to Roberto de Zerbi?

We talk about why Brighton’s way of playing football really is new, and why some kneejerk voices in the MSM (Ken) are already turning on Erik ten Hag after what was, to be clear, only his second home league defeat in a year.

Then we talk to Paul Brown (@pbsportswriter), who has reported extensively on Everton’s prospective new owners, 777 Partners, for Josimar magazine in Norway.
