| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Sky Sports Football podcast brought to you by Bet365, where every now biting nil-nil, every bizarre VAR, every foregone conclusion, bad pass, slam dunk, tap-in, full start, dead heat, and absolutely expected defeat is amazing. |
| 0:17.3 | From football to tennis and ice hockey to motorsport, whatever the moment, it's never |
| 0:22.7 | ordinary at Bet 365. Jesse Marsh, the former Leeds United manager is our special guest |
| 0:33.8 | tonight and this is Jesse's career so far. We've got to say so far Jesse because I because I'm sure there's a lot to come. Most recently at Leeds United, before that, the experience with the Red Bull Group in Germany with Leipzig, before that in Austria with Salzburg and in New York as well. The coaching career, though, Jesse started with Bob Bradley. Just how important as a figure was he for you in your coaching |
| 0:55.2 | development? Yeah, so I met Bob when he was 31 and he became my university coach at Princeton |
| 1:02.5 | University and then I followed him throughout my professional career and we worked together at |
| 1:08.3 | a few different clubs. And then I became part of his staff for the 2010 World Cup. |

| 1:38.8 | There was a lot of things that probably weren't necessary in his treatment. Obviously with all |
| 1:43.1 | these things, I always say winning solves everything. So if he gets a couple more necessary in his treatment, obviously with all these things. I always say |
| 1:44.1 | winning solves everything. So if he gets a couple more wins in his time at Swansea, then maybe the |
| 1:49.6 | opinion of him is different. The thing I know about him is he dedicates his life entirely to his |
| 1:55.8 | teams and to the development of his teams. And so, you know, I know that it hurt him to be treated |
| 2:03.1 | in certain ways, and it hurt all of us, I think, |
| 2:05.2 | who know. |
| 2:06.0 | Well, as a follow-up question to that of Jamie, |
| 2:08.2 | do you think you were disrespected because of your accent? |
| 2:12.6 | Maybe sometimes, but I don't worry about it too much. |
| 2:16.9 | You know, I always knew that whenever I came to Europe and |
