Open All R’s Season Preview — Podcast

The first podcast of the new season is a bumper season preview edition featuring interviews with new manager Steve McClaren and club CEO Lee Hoos.

There’s an extended chat with Hoos about last week’s bumper financial fair play (FFP) fine and the club’s ongoing efforts to comply with the new rules.

Host David Fraser, regular Paul Finney, and somy gobby sod from loftforwords then discuss the sacking of Ian Holloway, the appointment of Steve McClaren, and how they think this season will go before David uses the magic of radio to pop down the training ground and talk to the new man himself about how he’s settling in.
