What are the latest updates on the Premier League's restart?
Good morning. Welcome to the Football Show. Just one week away now from the restart to the Premier League season. On today's show, we'll be talking to the Peterborough United owner, Darren McCantney, on yesterday's League One vote to finish the season. We'll also be chatting to Liam Resignia, Chris Boyd, and the legend that is Ruud Gullit. Two legends with me all morning, Graeme Souness and Jamie Redknapp. Graeme, just seven days away now. You're not playing anymore, but was this about the point where you started sharpening your studs?
Yeah. I mean, you can do all the training you want. You can do all the practice games you want. But when it gets real, you go to another level. Mentally, you get yourself in that zone where you have to win football matches. Exciting for the boys. They'll be desperate to win football.
What was the outcome of the League One vote to end the season?
Indeed. Jamie, end of an era, especially with the last episode of Redknapp's Home Fixture this week and time for the restart. Just behind you, has that all been sorted now back to normal? Yeah, that's been a bit of a makeshift studio for a while now, but it's nice. I can't wait. We've been very fortunate to speak to a lot of the players. Jordan Henderson was on this week's show and you can see The excitement he has, looking forward to getting back, obviously. He didn't want to say too much about getting his hands on the trophy because they don't want to tempt fate. But I think you could see that he is chomping at the bit to get back to what he loves doing the most. I think it's the same for all players.
There'll be a bit of nerves as well with the teams in the bottom six because of obviously what relegation can mean to football clubs right now. But it's exciting times. Thierry Henry was on as well. He was fantastic.
How does Ruud Gullit reflect on his legendary career?
So we were lucky we had some really good guests. It's been a good show. Enjoyed it, Jane. OK, remember, if you want to get involved, use the hashtag Sky Football Show and we'll try and get your questions to the guys a little bit later on. OK, let's kick off this morning with the EFL meeting that happened yesterday, trying to condense it a little. The championship we know hopefully will be restarting next weekend. League Two voted for curtailment with automatic promotion and relegation based on the unweighted points per game basis. With the playoffs to come, we knew that would happen, really. The contentious division was League One. And that's gone the same way, which means Tranmere, Southend and Bolton are relegated.
Coventry and Rotherham promoted, with Wickham moving into the playoffs and Peterborough dropping out. Dara McAntony, the Peterborough owner, joins us. Dara, good to see you. Thanks for getting up early again in Florida. Look, first of all, tell us how the meeting went and the process of it as well.
What insights does Gini Wijnaldum share about being a perfect midfielder?
Um, the process is you sign in via obviously video software, sorry, morning guys, by the way. And, um, you, you, you get to see who's in the meeting with all the different faces. And the first meeting was a general EFL meeting about 70 odd clubs in that meeting, uh, two people per club were allowed in. And there's a bit of chit chat beforehand. Then obviously the chairman takes over Rick Parry. He starts talking through the process, uh, jazz Moxley, then one of obviously the, uh, directors. runs through the voting process. My partner, Jason, was on with me and he obviously had the voting system at hand. They ran through the five or six proposals about, you know, Tranmere put a proposal together, Barnsley put one in, Stevenage put one in, Ipswich.
And then you got to vote on the different proposals. But in fairness, they allowed people from Ipswich, Tranmere to explain the proposal to everyone and to go back over it again, even though we had it right in about a few days ago. But the real disappointment was there was like 75% of clubs had already proxy voted. So they hadn't even really waited to listen to anyone or hear anyone out. The vote was in. So, you know, I kind of knew going into it anyway that was going to be the case.
What does Liam Rosenior discuss in his letter to President Trump?
I had an idea. But I wanted to be, you know, part of the process.
