Manchester United’s exciting defeat to Nottingham Forest was followed the next morning by the news that star sporting director Dan Ashworth had walked the plank after five months in the job.

We reminisce about a spectacular weekend for Sir Big Jim, who got the ball rolling with a “let them eat cake” interview with United We Stand. Who’s the Dumb Money now?

Barney Ronay and Miguel Delaney join us to talk about the weekend’s football. Can Chelsea win the title? Has Ange run out of road at Spurs? Now that Arsenal have the corners sorted what else can they do to improve? And what have they made of the revolving executive door at United?
