Leicester Relegated, Ownership Under Fire & Ronaldinho on Netflix
4/24/202632 min
Football club ownership has come under intense scrutiny this season. From Manchester United’s staff cuts to Tottenham flirting with relegation, does failure always start at the top and trickle down? Elsewhere, Leicester City have been relegated to League One just ten years after their remarkable Premier League triumph. The guys revisit the role of ownership and ask how much of the club’s decline can be traced back to the tragic death of Khun Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha. Gary, Alan and Micah also turn their attention to the new Ronaldinho Netflix series, debating his legacy and whether he truly matched up to fellow Brazilian great Ronaldo Nazário.

First 90 secondsMicah Richards· Host0:00
I sold my car on Carvana last night.
Alan Shearer· Host0:02
Well, that's cool.
Micah Richards· Host0:03
No, y-you don't understand. It went perfectly. Real offer, down to the penny. They're picking it up tomorrow. Nothing went wrong.
Alan Shearer· Host0:09
So wha-what's the problem?
Micah Richards· Host0:10
That is the problem. Nothing in my life goes this smoothly. I'm waiting for the catch.
Alan Shearer· Host0:14
Maybe there's no catch.
Micah Richards· Host0:15
That's exactly what a catch would want me to think.
Alan Shearer· Host0:18
[laughs] Wow, you need to relax.
Micah Richards· Host0:19
I need to knock on wood. Do we have wood? Is this table wood?
Alan Shearer· Host0:21
I think it's laminate.
Micah Richards· Host0:23
Okay. Yeah. That's good. That's close enough. Car selling without a catch. Sell your car today on ♪ Carvana. ♪ Pickups fees may apply.
Speaker 20:30
[rock music] Somewhere out there is a Chevy truck, and the person who drives it, well, that's a Chevy person. You probably know one, your buddy, your sister, ones who always show up. They're the first to rise, the last to leave. They always have that little extra something, and maybe you've got it, too. Chevrolet, together let's drive. Visit chevy.com/trucks to explore the lineup.
Gary Lineker· Host0:55
[rock music] Coming up on today's show, we talk a lot, and it's used probably too much, a must-win game.
Micah Richards· Host1:04
Hmm.
Gary Lineker· Host1:05
But Wolves away for To- for Tottenham [laughs] is a must-win game.
Alan Shearer· Host1:09
Under Michael they've definitely improved, and it looks as if they're gonna qualify for Champions League. And I guess if they do, I'd be for giving him the job.
Gary Lineker· Host1:17
I never dreamt for a minute that this squad that Leicester had would, would, would should go down. It should be a team that's going up. That is not really a bottom half championship squad, 'cause they're still on Premier League contracts- Yeah ... with Premier League salaries.
