An honest conversation with former football agent Jim Erwood about what the game is actually like behind the scenes.

We talk about whether footballers truly love their clubs, what players say to agents during a relegation battle, why loyalty in football barely exists anymore, and how modern players are pushed to think about themselves first.

Jim shares incredible stories from his time as an agent, including signing Ashley Williams through Friends Reunited, the reality of dealing with young players and ambitious parents, intimidation and the criminal element around football, and the bizarre John Carew/Milan Baroš swap deal.

We dig into the reported sale of Daniel Levy’s stake in ENIC, what it means for Tottenham’s ownership structure, and whether new investors could have any real influence over the club. We also break down the Lewis family’s investment, how Squad Cost Ratio rules actually work, why cash flow matters as much as transfer budgets, and just how aggressive Spurs can be in the market this summer. Plus, we discuss Romero, Vuskovic, player trading, and whether the club is finally backing its words with action.

We jumped on for an impromptu pod after reports emerged that Brighton want Luka Vuskovic. We discuss why the move might make sense for everyone involved, whether De Zerbi is prioritising ready-made players over prospects, and what it says about the way Tottenham are operating this summer.

We also chat about the pursuit of Van Hecke and Verbruggen, Pedro Porro's future, James Maddison's leadership credentials, and why, despite finishing 17th, there's a growing feeling that Spurs are finally moving in the right direction.

This week we answer your questions on everything from Pedro Porro's future and the arrival of Andy Robertson and Senesi, to whether Spurs are finally correcting the mistakes made during the previous regime. We look back on the Thomas Frank era one year on, discuss De Zerbi's growing influence on the squad, debate the need for a top-class number six, and ask what Tottenham's strongest team actually looks like heading into the new season. There's also plenty of nonsense, a bit of geography, and a surprising conversation about why Arsenal's title win doesn't seem to hurt quite as much as we thought it would.
