Summary

We answered the following questions: If you were a Championship club and could sign any league 1 player, who would you sign? Likewise with a league 1 club and league 2 player? L1 managers - 'in or out': Neal Ardley, Darrell Clarke, Steve Lovell. On the basis of Saturday, how close are Luton to competing for promotion again? Bradford being utterly rubbish … Coventry’s chances of finishing top 6? Can Accrington keep up this form and actually challenge for a playoff spot? Seeing them in the Championship would be pretty incredible, however unlikely it is currently. Who is most likely to stop Lincoln? Are Col U and John McGreal the real deal? If Ali & George replaced Giles & Ankerson as Brentford DoFs tomorrow, (T Frank is hypothetically out of the picture) who would each have as their top pick as new Head Coach from League 1 or 2 to present to Matthew Benham for final sign off? Team of the week! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

0:00.0	Hello, everyone, welcome to the start of the week, and the start of the week brings not the top 20 podcast.
0:26.1	I'm Ali Maxwell, and alongside me, George Ellick.
0:29.1	Some of you might be, if you're really quick off the mark, listening via Spotify.
0:34.0	That is the first week you've been able to do that.
0:37.3	George has worked very hard to get us on that platform. It wasn't easy for a few slightly tedious technical reasons, but we're on there now. So if you have decided that Spotify is the best place to get your podcasts, then we're on it. So go and follow us and you can listen to NT20 forever now through Spotify.
0:59.0	Another parish notice is that this week is, and I'm stealing the phrase of Liam on Twitter,
1:06.6	Tripod Week, by which I mean three podcasts from us this week.
1:11.3	Today's, and then on Tuesday evening, something a little bit special, a little bonus podcast,
1:17.4	we sent George up to Manchester to meet Michael Appleton.
1:21.3	Now, there can't be many people whose name have been mentioned as many times on this podcast,
1:27.2	especially someone
1:28.6	who hasn't even managed or coached in the EFL for pushing 18 months.
1:33.7	George, you went up to meet Michael, one of your favourite footballing people.
1:37.2	Did it live up to the hype?
1:39.3	Yeah, definitely.
1:40.0	I hope he realised that I was some kind of fan boy before he got there.
1:43.4	But either way, he was
1:44.4	unbelievably interesting, very nice, and quite open. I think hopefully the interview that will come
1:52.1	out tomorrow will show a guy who is pretty happy to say what he thought and speak the truth.
1:58.2	And we spoke, we covered so many different topics. I tried to make sure that we didn't talk about Oxford too much.
2:03.5	We speak about Portsmouth, his time there.
2:05.3	We speak about some of the managers that he knows very well
