In this episode Colin Shindler, Andy Hamilton and Jon Holmes examine Alan Hansen's notorious observation that you don't win anything with kids. It's rather a shame that his reputation as one of the leading pundits has been slightly tarnished by the fact that he said those words on Match of the Day on the day Manchester United had been well beaten by Aston Villa at the start of the 1995-96 season. United went on to win the double that year and we all know what that group of young Manchester United players went on to achieve.  Karen Brady when in charge of Birmingham City aroused the ire of all football supporters but claiming there was no point in growing vegetables if you could buy them so readily in the supermarket.  We older supporters yearn nostalgically for the days when we could follow the progress of local players through the youth and Reserve teams and into the first eleven. Those were the days when the emergence of 17 and 18 year-olds who cost the traditional £10 signing on fee gave more pleasure to supporters than does the current purchase of endless overseas players for huge sums of money.

But first, it's a transfer update, with Jens Cajuste and Chuba Akpom both through the door, while Omari Hutchinson and Nathan Broadhead both face uncertain futures. Then it's onto the Championship curtain-raiser, a fiery 1-1 draw at Birmingham, with Town striking late on to earn a vital point at St. Andrew's. There's also a chat around tomorrow's Carabao Cup clash at Bromley, and we welcome new sponsors Molecular to join the returning Stardust Spirits. Kings of Anglia is sponsored by Stardust Spirits.

Aaron Paul, Jobi McAnuff, Tommy Smith and Alex Bruce preview the 2025/26 Championship season, which kicks off this weekend. Are Ipswich Town the best positioned, newly relegated, side to be promoted straight back up? What are Leicester City and Southampton's main concerns? Charlton Athletic manager, Nathan Jones, joins the pod after his side won promotion to the second tier via the League One play-offs. He shares how he thinks his side are progressing. Wrexham have made statement signings this summer, can they go for an unprecedented fourth successive promotion? And what about similarly ambitious recruiters, Birmingham City? BBC Radio Sheffield's Rob Staton brings us up to date with the financial and ownership situation at Sheffield Wednesday. What hope is there for their fans? And for the other half of the city; what next for Sheffield United after their failed play off campaign?Elsewhere in the league, who are the other contenders for having an impressive season? Plus, the panel make their second picks in the 72+ Ultimate All-time EFL XI.TIMECODES: 3:21 The chances of the teams newly relegated from the Premier League 15:39 Charlton Athletic manager Nathan Jones 21:12 Can Wrexham keep dreaming? 25:21 Are Birmingham City carrying enough momentum to stay up? 26:45 Birmingham City manager, Chris Davies, audio 30:04 What's the latest from Sheffield Wednesday? 39:10 What next for Sheffield United? 40:54 Who are the other contenders for a strong season? 44:06 Ultimate All-time EFL XI

The Championship starts this weekend. To quote Gregor Robertson – “With some teams no one has a Scooby what is going to happen to them.” Big spending Birmingham City and Wrexham join the party, bringing some Hollywood glamour, how will they fare? Ipswich Town start as strong promotion favourites and both Leicester City and Sheffield Utd have fifty million pounds worth of parachute payment to help them on their way. At the other end it is anyone's guess – the spot light is on Hull, Sheffield Wednesday and Oxford…but how will Mark Robins do at Stoke and have Blackburn made the right signings? In the Championship any one of ten or fifteen teams could spring a surprise. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
