Twenty twenty two was a pretty

1:04

big year for women's football. England

1:06

won the euros, to tendencies across

1:08

the country's sword. And in the biggest

1:10

news of all, I retired from playing

1:12

professional football. I know guys, massive

1:14

bass. I'm not sure what's the biggest news

1:17

Bye. Fine. I'm Gloemorgan, former

1:19

goalkeeper at

1:20

Arsenal, Tautenham and Crystal Palace.

1:22

And I'm Reginald Sullivan, cofound of girls

1:24

in the ball and women's football journalist and

1:27

wear the host of upfront, the weekly women's

1:29

football podcast from the football

1:30

rumble. Mitty Bryant, I think, is on

1:32

about a billion minutes this season. Yeah.

1:35

Yeah. But when you just don't know what the actual number

1:37

is, you just say a

1:38

billion. It's anywhere between five hundred and

1:40

six billion.

1:42

Had a billion minutes. Oh, wow.

1:44

What woman?

1:45

Join us for an even bigger year in twenty

1:48

twenty three as the race for the WSL heats

1:50

up, English clubs are chasing Champions' Week

1:52

glory, and the Lionesses head to Australia

1:54

and New Zealand for the World Cup this summer.

1:56

Sam Kerr has been on flying four on Instagram

1:59

as as the missus Lewis. I mean, I've absolutely

2:01

loved it. She wants a simple life, really. Didn't she?

2:03

Just beach, a quaker and

2:05

a quaker and a quaker. What

2:08

else could you run? We're here

2:10

every Tuesday with the latest news and

2:12

analysis from across the women's game

2:14

alongside a special every

single week. We also look into

2:19

the social and cultural areas of the game

2:21

that affect everyone from the superstars and

2:23

the line s's right down to the

2:25

grassroots. But it just feels players

2:27

are just expected to kind of ride out the next

2:29

couple of years until I think twenty twenty when

2:31

we actually have a summer with no major tournaments, that's

2:34

absolutely insane. They're being treated like commodities.

3:21

now. Ola Davi,

3:24

come away staffs, sort your Instagram

3:26

post out, your friend amongst region,

3:28

but they, and you're all. Angela

3:31

Novassos. How early about, listen,

3:33

I've seen you scan and I've seen the fact

3:35

you're in Greece on holiday, you're fined

3:37

among squagers. You're up for

3:39

sale and tell your agent you breach your

3:41

contract and that you're on very, very

3:44

fucking shaky, legal, ground.

3:47

Mister Akufol and all and

3:49

all I'm had to get hold of. But here's the

3:51

bottom line. You're not getting a new

3:53

contract. And I how you're on three

3:55

hundred k a week as it is, so good

3:57

luck, finding someone in the space of two weeks.

4:00

Need any help find his suitors, I can

Bay waste.

4:37

Creditor Stadium has

4:39

been lively tonight, which

4:41

would see continuing to hold that one

4:43

year lead. The gold

4:45

courtesy of Daniel Lamati, of course.

4:48

Their own goal on the hour mark. And

4:51

now fifteen minutes from me

4:53

and leicester city. I haven't

4:55

asked too many questions of the hosts.

4:58

The creditmaster has been lively,

5:00

but you take your night. Has it

5:02

been supportive? Well, that's another

5:04

question. Quite right,

5:06

Billy. This game delayed,

5:09

of course, courtesy

5:11

of some protests outside the ground,

5:14

further protests within it tonight as we've

5:16

seen, and I'm told in

5:18

a few pockets throughout the city

5:20

itself.

5:22

What impressed me tonight, Peter, is

5:24

how down and the players out

5:26

there have actually navigated through

5:29

this. What's the substitution of David Luna

5:31

before the actual city go part of

5:33

downwards and navigating this current

5:35

problem for you, Billy. Oh, one

5:37

hundred million percent. You

5:39

wouldn't take players like David Luna off

5:41

unless you felt like it was disruptive

5:43

to leave him on. Dan grabbed the ball

5:45

by the forms and said you're either

5:47

with us, David, or get

5:49

against us. Moona comes off,

5:52

they bring on the young lad, Andrew Woodward,

5:54

he brings a bit of

5:55

spat, bit of English see. And secondly,

5:57

you've got players all pulling in the right

5:59

direction. And

6:03

what about deterioration there, Billy Richards.

6:06

Yep. Of course, caden Breen, and

6:08

the ring in the mail has been working overtime on

6:10

him at the moment. Isn't

6:11

it? I know I can tell you, but we

6:13

the mill says it's Chelsea, and

6:16

it says it could be over

6:19

thirty million pounds.

6:20

I mean, what everybody

6:23

who signs for Chelsea these days is over

6:25

thirty million. Look, they'd have me for the thirty

6:27

one. And listen,

6:29

it's so a difficult situation for the club,

6:32

for the player, for the manager. But

6:34

when your head gets to end, it's

6:36

very difficult to APAC. A

6:39

PLAY FRESHID CITY. A PLAY

6:41

FOR Chelsea. I KNOW WHERE I WAS HEPLIA.

6:44

Okay? BUT I'LL LEAVE THAT AS

6:46

IT IS. THAT'S FOR another time.

6:48

But of this club, Ashford City, I

6:50

haven't placed leave in the volume

6:52

of which they are leaving. And

6:54

the quality of the ones that are leaving. Kevin

6:56

Seifel asked them last week, Luna getting

6:58

chased by the Almadrid, creamy iron

7:00

up Chelsea, a for wanting new

7:02

this, new that. If you're entertaining

7:05

those offers, you have got you

7:08

have got to bring people

7:10

in. I know finances at

7:12

all. William Amity. William Amity

7:14

for goodness safe. The week they lose Kevin

7:16

to Arsenal. The pre agreed

7:18

deal for Amazon to benefit kicks in.

7:20

Bang. Just like that all you're

7:22

talking forward to go. I

7:24

know William struck towards the end.

7:26

He's at Penfica now. It's a lovely club. I had

7:28

lots of memories there myself. He

7:30

can't let constant leaps

7:32

like this for to the entire

7:34

property. Plug

7:37

the leaf. Look. And I'm not I'm gonna go

7:39

with the young kids. Woodwood is on a cracking

7:41

game. I've said that the defense is the reason

7:43

we took time this tonight.

7:45

Steven

7:45

Black and Alex Kanuka. Yes. Steven Black and

7:47

Alex Kanuka. Great. And the key Sarbanes

7:49

fella, what They're all great,

7:51

but you can't tell them. I'm not gonna do the

7:53

old, you know, you can't tell me anything with kids or anything like

7:55

that, but you can't tell me their little pizza.

7:58

They're currently being bored stayed

8:00

by experienced well

8:03

dressed stowage. Right?

8:05

We saw what happened when just them

8:07

up against Buckoo. Right?

8:10

And they lost they lost the game.

8:12

You've got to clog the league

8:15

and the transfer went closes tomorrow,

8:17

by the way. Tomorrow, good luck. Blimey.

8:20

Yes. Indeed. The only game

8:22

tonight on Monday, the thirtieth of January,

8:24

a difficult time to play

8:27

and do vital business and

8:29

have been informed by local

8:31

police. They

8:33

expect the protests to continue

8:35

throughout the night and very

8:37

possibly into the next day. So

8:39

it could be very tricky for

8:42

the club Speaking of chicken, here comes

8:44

Marcello from Thunder's past due to he

8:46

Constancia. Let's just

8:47

say he's not closing him down as Marcello gets into

8:50

production later. But took that right.

8:52

Saved him to ride right anywhere. What

8:54

a moment that would have been for the young

8:57

man, please. I would have looked at full

8:59

with my a. But now honestly,

9:02

like I said, there's Marcelo.

9:04

Listen to old head providing for

9:06

him. Understanding the

9:07

space, understanding the chance, and

9:10

Danny wore does done well there to took it away.

9:12

When it

9:14

comes to the northern park, tries for your

9:16

post. Flip to my group. Finished

9:18

point out ninety eight, mate. And

9:22

that he's

9:25

game set of match. Ashford

9:29

City two, West

9:31

Virginia.

9:36

Ashwood City football club one of founding

9:38

members of the football league in eighteen eighty

9:41

eight. Today, they compete in England's

9:43

top flight and remain one of only

9:45

handful of clubs to have never been relegated from

9:47

the Premier League. Following the

9:49

departure of the American consortium ASG

9:51

and with a new operational model under

9:54

an out Tona, Ashwood

9:56

City, enter the fifth and final

9:58

season of the offensive.

10:28

Despite encouraging league form under

10:30

Dan, what and widespread protesting

10:32

has erupted against Patrick Nolan in

10:34

the club's financial position, sign

10:36

a fade, of course, by the departure.

10:38

Get in and Willie allergy, but

10:40

rumor departure to David Luna,

10:42

Angelo Vasos, Christian Acufo,

10:44

and even club captain, Kieran Broom,

10:47

have added very unwanted fuel

10:49

to this blazing fire. Reuters

10:52

have continued through the night.

10:54

We're told senior club staff

10:56

naturally stayed in the offices overnight

10:58

to ensure their safety. And as we

11:00

are weak here on deadline day, it doesn't

11:02

look like they're leaving anytime soon.

11:14

Morning,

11:16

everyone. Oh, what time is

11:19

it? It's seven

11:21

forty four. Are they still out

11:23

there? Yes. Looks

11:26

like there's more of them

11:28

actually. How do you like, you know,

11:30

extend them on in? How do I mate, man, with a

11:32

kace, morning sleep over a

11:34

pulse. Why are you in a robe? What

11:36

robe? This is a dressing gown. Same

11:38

thing. Oh, it all makes me sound like an fucking

11:41

sex

11:41

paste. Why are you wearing it? I had a

11:43

show at woody. We slept in the

11:45

office last night because we were barricaded in

11:47

by a murderous protest. This

11:49

is not an Airbnb getaway. Well,

11:51

not with that attitude in. Coffee, but

11:53

Yes, please,

11:54

mate. Great. You two finally live out

11:56

your fantasy as the real life

11:58

Burton Ernie, and I have to sleep under my

12:00

desk for the rest of my

12:01

days. Sleep on a couch like I did for

12:03

fuck's sake. There's one in the meet in room.

12:05

No. That's not safe. Just being

12:07

under the is gonna do this. It's not a fucking

12:10

earthquake. If they break in, they

12:12

won't see me. Oh, I forgot. I

12:14

should say fans never look under this.

12:16

Today, that's sight. Vampires

12:18

don't like Gatorliq, Wearwalls don't

12:20

like the daytime, and Ashford City fans

12:22

don't like desks. I'm always getting those

12:24

confused. Wait. Where's this fucking coffee? That's

12:26

so

12:26

sorry. Be right with you. Can I take a name for it,

12:28

please? Patrick. Patrick,

12:31

Nigel? I

12:31

Patrick is a thing of the past. Thanks, mate.

12:34

it? What do they call it the coffee shop?

12:36

No, it is. Serp. P

12:38

for Peter? Nope. Fucking

12:39

hell. Since when did you get all this newfound

12:42

respect? They

12:42

hired a Drillingham fan. That that

12:43

will do it. Oh, Christ.

12:46

Patrick. Just check your phone. No. I'm saving

12:48

the phone browsing for my morning dump. Of a

12:50

fuck's sake. When's that? No. I

12:52

don't know. Let me check. Woody, how

12:54

long on the coffee? About a minute?

12:56

Yeah. Not long. The athletic. Oh,

12:58

what? What are they whining about now? But it'll be

13:01

more subscription adverts fuck me. Have the

13:03

athletic for a five or a month. Have the

13:05

athletic for a quid a month. Have the

13:07

athletic for fifty p a month. We'll

13:09

give you two quid a month to subscribe

13:11

to the looking athletic fuck

13:12

off. What were

13:13

you gonna tell us about this? About

13:15

what? This.

13:21

Right. Here we got 1, Rudi

13:23

Gino, Faserti. Rudi, look at

13:25

this. Ashford in

13:27

TEelspin has natural mismanagement

13:29

rots club from the

13:30

core. Q1

13:33

projections are terminally fuck.

13:35

Jesus. Well, no wonder there's more fans there

13:37

this morning than last night. Patrick,

13:40

Jesus. What? We knew

13:42

this. I I borrowed so we could get

13:44

ASG out. I didn't ask for interest rates

13:46

to go through fucking

13:46

roof, did I? Hal, what's

13:48

the 1 projections? Is this really

13:50

the right time in place for this kind of thing? Because I mean, you

13:52

were in a dressing gown for God's sake.

13:54

Hal, Fucking What are they?

13:56

Well, you know, I

13:58

can't remember exact figures, but

14:02

yeah, think of the worst month on record,

14:05

then then double it. Yeah.

14:07

This must

14:07

be the cost of a living crisis everyone's talking

14:09

about. Jesus. That cost eleven cases

14:12

about buying the cheap carrots instead of the

14:14

organic ones. This is the end of

14:16

Ashwood set say if we're not

14:17

careful. Oh, please. Sell the

14:18

club. Sell the fucking club and

14:21

sell it now. Jess,

14:23

I want you to picture a car dealership.

14:25

Alright? See the night cars out at the

14:27

front or shiny and sleek

14:29

modern

14:29

design, immaculate vehicles, state of the art

14:32

technology. That's man united

14:34

in Liverpool. Yeah. And

14:35

behind them is an old banger with a

14:37

hundred and fifty thousand miles on the clock,

14:39

some spunk on the back seats,

14:41

a corpse in the boot, and a tape of

14:43

vanilla ice in the cassette

14:45

player. That's Ashwood City.

14:47

What's wrong

14:49

with Vanilla Ice? And he's

14:50

spunked on the back see. I

14:52

don't have time to teach you both about

14:54

market economics, but the club is not

14:56

for

14:56

sale. Hello.

14:59

This is what it may be. If someone

15:01

had actually taught you about

15:03

market economics, we wouldn't be in this

15:05

fucking mess In fact, messes

15:07

an understatement. This is

15:10

terminal. To quote the article,

15:12

if this is

15:12

terminal, isn't it? We're on fucking life

15:14

support. I can we just focus on

15:16

surviving? Yeah. I mean, if we survived if

15:18

we got a formal offer from Chelsea

15:21

for Kieran, How much?

15:23

Thirty two million. Oh,

15:25

that's pretty good for his age.

15:27

Eight plus it's about eight

15:29

and quite a year off the books for

15:31

us. So

15:35

what's the decision? Up to

15:37

the chief exec. When

15:39

you make a call. Felt

15:43

thirty five and we're happy.

15:48

Tops. Well,

15:54

that's that. Hey,

15:56

this is gonna go down like a

15:59

sack of piss, isn't it? Yeah.

16:00

I mean, Luna is one

16:03

thing. You know, when real Madrid come calling,

16:05

what can you really do? Is it but

16:07

Kevin to Arsenal, Kieran to

16:09

Chelsea, Jesus. We need to put a

16:11

statement out about this article. No, we

16:13

do

16:13

not. Yes, we do, Patrick. I

16:15

can't do another night under my desk.

16:17

The coach is right there or shut

16:19

up. Someone leaked this. What?

16:22

Q one 1, I wouldn't flow any

16:24

projections for weeks. Someone has been in

16:26

my

16:26

office. Whoa.

16:27

What the fuck

16:27

you're looking at me for? I'm not

16:29

looking at you. I think you're looking

16:30

at me right now. Yeah. Because you're fucking

16:32

talking to me. Sir. Trick, are

16:34

you sure about this? How else would

16:37

internal financial forecasts to make it to

16:39

the fucking athletic? And

16:41

they're bang on. You know, I wish they weren't. I wish I

16:43

could go out there and say they're wrong, but they

16:45

are right.

16:46

Dark, jess and not. Wait.

16:49

There's no judgement in this.

16:50

You think I

16:51

it. Yeah. You can't be a bit of a boffin. You

16:53

know, a bit of a goodie two shoes when it comes to

16:55

money in that. Woody, I didn't leak the q

16:57

one projections mate. Yeah.

16:59

Sure about that. Utches. I

17:01

didn't do it. Why the fuck would I

17:03

go and make even more work for

17:04

myself? Oh, hey. Hey, guys.

17:06

How are you guys? You're alright? Not now.

17:09

Welly, Powell. That ain't Willie,

17:10

you should go home. It it's not safe here.

17:12

Oh, I'm on the way to training. There's

17:14

no protests there, see.

17:16

Oh, Why not Well,

17:17

like it's that they're not really

17:20

mad at us per

17:22

se. Yeah. Thanks for that

17:24

Willie. What do you want? If this

17:24

is about Kaiden with accepted an offer. I she

17:27

can stop his fucking winging. Or

17:30

you've you've accepted. Hi.

17:37

Shit. Hey.

17:41

Who? Chelsea.

17:45

Wrong Right. Sorry.

17:50

Boom. No. No. It's Hey.

17:53

It's what he wants. Alright?

17:56

Hey.

18:00

20:57

I've seen a drop off in training.

21:00

its highest price you can, please?

21:28

Consider my mind blown, I'm

21:30

supposed to be selling players by the highest

21:32

price on me. That's what I've been going

21:34

wrong. Fucking hell. No. Scared I was

21:36

leaving anyway. Jesus.

21:39

Patrick, what is going

21:42

on with Kieran? I'm not interested

21:44

21:46

lenders up my Balmain, debt collectors up

21:48

my

21:48

cock. All the while, I'm

21:51

barricaded in my own office bill because

Was what me? Did you leave

22:26

there? I thought you'd thought you'd

22:28

put pressure on me here. Thought you could topple the ownership and

22:30

get some oil and blood money in. Jealousy

22:32

of anyhow getting a bit much. Is it?

22:34

Project up. I wouldn't even

24:44

Okay. I'm

24:48

not gonna

24:50

say anything, but I am just gonna

24:52

read this paragraph from the athletic

24:54

ETFs

24:54

don't start. The club find themselves in this

24:57

position, not through league form or

24:59

market forces, but through the

25:01

short sighted ambition of

25:03

its leader. A man

25:05

who borrowed so much to prove

25:07

so little. A man

25:09

who refused to be anything top

25:11

of the

25:11

no matter the cost. No

25:14

matter who pays the

25:16

price. Well, I

25:17

could then with that bedtime story last

25:19

night. Thank you, Jess. Bye bye

25:21

now. Patrick. Jess, a sale wouldn't fix the

25:24

problems. Okay? Okay. Can

25:26

you go and find out if we still have a

25:28

hydrotherapy ball, please? Thank you.

25:30

Just out curiosity,

25:31

if one of the weirdos from outside lobbed

25:33

a rock through the window right now and

25:35

it killed me, how would

25:38

you feel? Sad,

25:39

obviously. About the window

25:42

or me. You. What

25:44

else? Just

25:45

what? I don't know. It's sad.

25:47

And you're angry?

25:49

Maybe Yeah. Sad and angry.

25:51

Right. What what's wrong with that? I was

25:54

looking for guilty.

25:54

The word I was looking for

25:57

was guilty.

25:58

Alright. Why would I feel guilty?

26:04

Jesus Christ.

26:15

I surely

26:17

they

26:17

won't continue to protest after deadline

26:20

day. Why

26:20

wouldn't they?

26:21

Well, the window is closed then. I mean, what's the point

26:24

in complaining? Yeah. How long have we

26:26

got until the window closes? Yeah.

26:28

Like fucking fuck teen

26:31

hours or something. Christ. That

26:33

is a long time, isn't it? Okay.

26:35

Comfortable pal. These lot aren't

26:37

going anywhere. Why the

26:39

fuck not? Because were born 171 league,

26:41

we've presided over a financial catastrophe

26:44

and their favorite players have left

26:46

or are

26:46

in. I

26:47

meant don't don't have jobs

26:49
