The England Pod: Picking Thomas Tuchel's first England Squad

The weekend just finished would have seen the Final Day of the Championship & League One regular seasons, with League Two ending the week before. We decided to put our coronavirus-blocking blinkers on for a few hours, and imagine that football has continued... Here is what we think would have happened, and what we would have enjoyed watching and discussing on three dramatic Final Days. We hope you enjoy this podcast and take it in the right spirit!

Matt Slater from the Athletic kindly joined us to talk about the EFL and its clubs, and the current state of play with regard to the coronavirus. We touch on finishing the season vs voiding the season, financial concerns, the potential for clubs to go bust, the idea of regionalising one or two of the EFL divisions, and how tough it is to govern 71 clubs with different realities and priorities.
