There’s more to football than just trophies: spirit. José Mourinho makes a brave new sales pitch, though Marcus, Jim and Pete are not convinced.

There are experts in the art of management everywhere you look on today’s show, as we explore how Sir Alex Ferguson mugged off Ruud van Nistelrooy and how Rafa Benitez has been keeping his mind sharp in lockdown, as well as Trinidad and Tobago manager Terry Fenwick’s unusual approach to dealing with the media. Translation: he’s been accused of head butting his own press officer.

Plus, amusing admin errors at the Cameroon FA and - finally! - there’s a breakthrough in Portmantonio Conte.
