Imagine a manager who avoided the sack by telling the chairman to eff off and sack himself. Allow us to introduce you to one Brian Clough… Marcus, Jim and Vish discuss how he not only carried Nottingham Forest to two consecutive European Cup triumphs – and, more impressively, once got away with punching Roy Keane – but did it with a staggering amount of self-assuredness.

On the latest Essential Football episode we take a closer look at the rise of Eddie Howe. The Newcastle boss will celebrate 600 games as a manager when he takes charge of the Magpies at home to West Ham on Saturday – live on Sky Sports – as they continue their pursuit of Champions League football. Howe has also led Newcastle to their first cup final for 24 years – some rise for a manager that began his career in charge of a Bournemouth side that were bottom of the Football League and in danger of going out of business 15 years ago. Sky Sports reporters Mark McAdam – who worked with Howe at Bournemouth - and Keith Downie join Peter Smith to discuss the standout moments in the manager’s career, what he’s like away from the dugout, and what the future holds.

A listener said last week that he'd still listen if the People's Poll vote was to watch paint dry. So here we are. In a production led by James he discusses what 'watching paint dry' meant to him in his youth and who the man responsible for it was. This is a throwback to the 90s and something that will be of particular interest to fans of Arsenal, Leeds and Tottenham as Suj & James discuss the managerial career of George Graham. _________________________________________ Web: www.planetfpl.com Twitter: @PlanetFPLPod (James) / @sujanshah (Suj) Facebook: www.facebook.com/PlanetFPL Instagram: @planetfpl You Tube: www.youtube.com/planetfpl Learn more about your ad choices.
