Summary

On Sunday night the EFL released a statement outlining the return to action of the Championship, provisionally on June 20th. We wanted to get the reaction of someone who will be heading back to work with a Championship club, so had a natter with Gary Rowett as he drove home after training. We discussed his reaction to the news on Sunday night, his thoughts on what things will be like, the lack of home advantage, player fitness, contract situations & summer recruitment.

we pulled off, well, certainly one of my favorite episodes we've ever done,

1:05.2

which was the Players Takeover,

1:08.0

where we spoke to various players from across the EFL.

1:12.4

Now the obvious follow up to that and something that I was really keen to work on

1:16.2

was a manager's takeover to try and pull some strings, try and get in touch with some guys

with Gary Rowett. Now, Gary is the Millwall manager, of course. George and I very much

were enjoying working with Gary on Friday nights with Sky Sports. We shared the sofa a fair few times
