Hello, this is international football commentator Derek Ray, and you're listening to the Ranks FC podcast.

Hello, welcome to Ranks FC.

I'm Dean Jones, your transfer guru and your host for today while Jack continues to enjoy himself on the honeymoon of a lifetime.

You'd like to think anyway, wouldn't you?

He's only getting one honeymoon in this lifetime. It sounds like he's having an absolutely great time. In South America, Jack, we'll be back

soon. I promise. Thank you for sticking with me through the past couple of weeks. We will be

resuming normal service very soon.

But what a wild time we've been seeing in the football world,

obviously an incredible result in the FA Cup at the weekend.

As non-league Macclesfield beat Crystal Palace, the FA Cup holders,

that was incredible slash humiliating,

whichever side of that fence you're on. We had the Spanish Super Cup in Saudi Arabia as Barcelona won three two against Real Madrid. Afcon has been

really enjoyable. I didn't jump on board until the quarter final stage, but I did enjoy those and we now have the semi-finals opening up.

So we're going to have a great finale to that competition.

Of course, we have the transfer window open, which has been busy, and we also have a chaotic manager market.

Now, in the main segment today, we are talking

about disastrous moments mid-season. So I'm going to be ranking five teams in that sense.

But right now, I just want to reflect on where we actually sit with decisions that big clubs

are making. And it just got me scratching my head

because Chelsea, Man United and Real Madrid all have worse coaches now than they did before.

When we got to the turn of the year, we had Enzo Mariskaka, we had Ammarim, we had Jabbi Alonzo,

right?
