Dan Kilpatrick (Part two) | On Ange and ‘Clowngate’ (Q&A)

In part two of our special with The Athletic’s Dan Kilpatrick, Jack puts your questions to him in a wide-ranging Q&A. Dan reflects on whether he misses the “tier one” status of being a Spurs beat reporter, shares the story behind his most accurate piece of transfer news, and talks about how his final exchange with Ange Postecoglou might have influenced his reporting. He also gives his verdict on Ange’s reaction to “Clowngate,” discusses Daniel Levy’s relationship with the media compared with fan protests, and considers whether Vinai Venkatesham will make a difference at Tottenham. Other listener questions cover which Spurs manager he most enjoyed interviewing and whether he regrets leaving the beat just as Thomas Frank arrived. Part one of this conversation looked back on Dan’s time covering Spurs; this second half is all about your questions and his candid answers. The show’s theme tune is Ghost Cat by Gillen.
