Summary

Michael Bailey, JJ Bull and Jon Mackenzie are here to talk about some football. The chaps gives us a precis on who Julian Nagelsmann is, what kind of football he likes to coach and why that was deemed not good enough by Bayern Munich who have sacked him. Thomas Tuchel has been hired in his place, but is this just a question of the “elite” managerial carousel turning again? After torching the relationship with his players just over a week ago, Antonio Conte is no longer Tottenham boss. We talk about where this leaves Spurs in the long term and what they can actually hope for in this most competitive of leagues. Then, the pod gets speculative… What if the new project at Chelsea doesn’t succeed? What if Jurgen Klopp leaves Liverpool this summer? WHAT if Carlo Ancelotti becomes Brazil manager? WHAT IF Gavi actually does leave Barcelona on a free transfer? All of these were answered to varying levels of satisfaction… This episode of the Tifo football podcast is presented by Michael Bailey and produced by Steve Hankey. Learn more about your ad choices.

0:00.0	Hello and welcome to the T-fo football podcast. I'm Michael Bailey and today I am joined by
0:13.5	JJ Bull. Hello Michael. Hello JJ. I am also joined by John McKenzie. Hello Michael. Lovely to see you both.
0:23.0	Today we have spoken about so many wonderful things such as Julian Nagelsman who has been
0:28.2	sacked by Bayern Munich. Thomas Tuchel is in, having loitered around in Munich. Antonio Conte is
0:35.5	no longer at Tottenham. That was not a surprise. We spoke about that quite a bit. Then we entered
0:40.1	the world of pure imagination, which means we talked about football hypotheticals because it was
0:45.2	that or international football. We have the Todd Bowley project at Chelsea. What if that failed?
0:52.2	What if you're going to clop? Left Liverpool? Imagine it. We're not saying it'll happen.
0:56.2	What if Carlo Ancelotti becomes Brazil manager? That could happen. We're not saying it has,
1:02.1	but it could. That's kind of the point. And what if Barcelona's Gavi does indeed become a free
1:08.0	agent? Let's pick somewhere for him to go. And if you want to enter the world of not pure imagination
1:15.7	and pure fact that is the athletic, then you can indulge yourselves in a 30 day free trial with
1:21.8	the athletic, where you can read lots of brilliant things. One of you guys read recently that
1:26.3	was brilliant at the athletic. That address, by the way, is the athletic.com forward slash T-fo
1:30.9	for a free 30 day trial. I've been practicing that. I read a piece by Dr. Mark Carey, good friend
1:36.8	of ours. Is he a doctor? He's a doctor, a doctor. Is he? Life. Why is he a doctor off?
1:43.2	Has he just told you he's a doctor? He's a science, but it's, it's, I can't remember. It's
1:47.9	something. Is the doctor a philosophy from the University of Science? That's right. Is that?
1:52.0	Yeah, that could be what he said. I wanted to say, I wanted to say psychology, but he didn't.
1:57.0	I surely it's maths and numbers or so. I think you'd be surprised. We could probably find out.
2:02.1	I've gone on his LinkedIn, which is somehow translated into Ukrainian, but yeah, he's a doctor.
2:08.2	He has a PhD in psychology from the University of York, from the years 2015 to 2018. Anyway,
