Hey gang, Kate here. Welcome back to the drop-in. We are on the road again. I'm talking to you right now from a bridge

around the back of an Aldi supermarket. Not just for fun, it leads into Lutentown's training ground.

And we're waiting for their press conference to finish so that we can meet one of the most exciting young British

managers in football right now, Rob Edwards. He in Lutentown has secured playoff football for the second straight season

with a budget of fraction of many of their championship rivals and they have a massive shot at making the Premier League this time.

With a stadium that holds only 10,000 that would be a remarkable achievement. Rob has done a great job of building on the side

that Nathan Jones had assembled before him. But it could have all been very different. He actually started this season at Watford.

He was headhunted from Forest Green Rovers after he won League 2 and he was promised time at the club but safe to say, at Watford, he didn't get any.

Today I want to ask him about the turbulence of modern management. Dig into his style a little bit more and find out about his pathway as a coach

through the England Youth Set-ups, one that Steve Cooper and Gareth Southgate took before him. This is the drop-in with Rob Edwards.

Rob, thank you so much for doing this for us. Pleasure. A lot to talk to you about your career generally but it would be great to start with thinking about Lutentown specifically.

And I know we're not there yet, I know there's all sorts of football that's got to be played but the idea that this football club potentially could be in the Premier League and what that would look like

as an idea, as a concept for the people of Lutent and for this team that really when you go to Kennawe Throge you think, wow this seems very far away from the Etihad for example.

It's as far away as you can get from the Etihad. I think for the players, the town itself, the owners who are football fans of Lutentown fans and have saved this club and helped get it to where it is now, it would mean the world, it would be incredible.

For the wider Premier League viewers and other fans of other clubs, it would be interesting, it would be a unique day out for them.

And a little bit different, maybe there would be one or two that might not want us to do it. But look we're in the mix and it's hard for me to even talk about getting there right now and there is two league games to go and then we know we've got those two huge playoff games in the semi-final.

So there's a lot to navigate but I do like to dream, I do like to think about it, I've done that from the minute we came in, we've tried to talk really positively with the players, they achieved something great last year and reaching the playoffs, semi-finals, the playoffs.

We'd love to go a couple of steps further this time.

For lots of listeners in the States and people who follow football generally who might never have been to Ken and Worth Road, can you give a listen to this sense of it?

Because of course one of the things that you can read about, you see is that if you're coming into the away stand you basically go through people's back gardens to get into that.

And I just might, you know, it is a bit like a magical shed of football, it comes to which football it.

It is, it is, I mean it looks a really old stadium now, it will hold 10,000, 11,000 people but it does have people's houses right around it and attached to it and you're part of it.
