What does it take to be a football manager? We all think we can do it: pick a team to win a game, sign a couple of players who looked good on FIFA... I mean, we鈥檝e all played Championship Manager right? The reality is very few people can ever truly master it, can deal with the torment, the anguish, the pain of defeat or even the blessed relief of victory. And what about putting their families and friends in the firing line of fans, the media and everyone else who has an opinion on how you do your job?

For the last three months of the 2021/22 League One season, this podcast had unparalleled access to the life of a football manager as two teams battled to change their collective stories forever and win promotion to the Championship. From the dressing room to the training ground, the team bus to the technical area, Rotherham United鈥檚 Paul Warne and Oxford United鈥檚 Karl Robinson have worn microphones to record every single critical moment of the job during the tense and eventful run-in.

You鈥檒l get to eavesdrop on how the personal reality of football management is a constant gnaw of sleepless nights, skipping meals and missing out on family life. You鈥檒l hear how the wives and children have to tiptoe around their disillusioned husbands following losses and you鈥檒l isten in to how they rarely enjoy those hard-fought victories.
