We kick off the podcast by announcing the news that we have moved to a shorter weekly format with a longer third segment available to patrons only. Then we're straight to the familiar backdrop of San Marino and lowest ranked national football team in the world's loss of two goalkeepers in two days. We then analyse San Marino's chances of breaking their 20-year winless run in 2024 – as they have a double-header against St. Kitts and Nevis and Nations League clashes with Liechtenstein and Gibraltar on the horizon – before turning our attentions to the new FIFA Series tournaments that will pit teams from different confederations against each other in March, throwing up some unusual and mouth-watering clashes. In Part Two we hear about a Football Manager addict who has been put in charge of fourth-tier Icelandic club, KV. This leads onto a debate about whether a video game simulation can ever translate into a successful real-life coaching career, a chat about our own areas of expertise and a look at managers who didn't have a playing background. We then examine another club in free-fall, Omija Ardija in Japan, and their potential solution to their situation: becoming part of the Red Bull stable. We finish off with a chat about the pros and cons of multi-club ownership and give the listeners a chance to win some excellent football books and magazines.

Today's episode is with Karan Tejwani. Karan has wrote two books called Wings of Change (Red Bull Model) and Glorious Reinvention: The Rebirth of Ajax Amsterdam. We focused on Cruyff, Ajax and the Reinvention of the club in the 21st Century. You can purchase the book from : https://www.pitchpublishing.co.uk/shop/glorious-reinvention and any other book publication shops. You can also follow Karan on Twitter: @karan_tejwani26
Karan Tejwani is the author of the new book; “Glorious Reinvention; The Rebirth of Ajax Amsterdam.”Karan tells the story of how Ajax rediscovered their mojo to compete again with Europe's best. In November 2010, after Ajax's 2-0 loss in the Champions League group stage to Real Madrid, Johan Cruyff wrote a newspaper column criticising his former club. He believed the side were poorly run, had lost their identity and been left behind by modern football. He wanted Ajax to rely on their academy as they once had, and he wanted former Ajax players in high positions calling the shots at the club. This was dubbed “the Glorious Reinvention” - a peaceful coup that would propel Ajax to once more compete with the best. A few years on, with many of the changes in place, the side reached a Europa League final and a Champions League semi-final with an exquisite style of football and methods that Cruyff would have appreciated. Ajax, now run by former club greats such as Edwin van der Sar combined the techniques of old with modern elements. What we discussed included ;- Why Ajax fell behind in the 90's?- The magical figure of Johan Cruyff.- Inside the processes and procedures of a world class academy.- Where does the 2019 Ajax team rank among the pantheon of great European sides?- What can Manchester United fans expect from Eric Ten Hag?- How Ajax will rebuild this summer amid losing key players and staff?Karan's Twitter;https://twitter.com/karan_tejwani26Book; https://www.amazon.co.uk/Glorious-Reinvention-Rebirth-Ajax-Amsterdam/dp/180150069X

The development of "football groups" is a relatively recent and controversial phenomenon. The pioneer has been City Football Group, which started with the acquisition of Manchester City and has since bought significant stakes in clubs in the United States, Australia, India, Japan, Spain, Uruguay, China, Belgium and France.The Red Bull group has been constructed a different way, with the energy drink company taking over teams in Salzburg, New York, Brazil, Ghana and, most controversially, Leipzig between 2005 and 2010 after earlier forays into F1 and extreme sports.Both groups have been criticised for throwing money at footballing success but the Red Bull clubs are often dismissed as a marketing exercise and labelled with one of the most damning words in the supporters’ lexicon - plastic.Last year, Karan Tejwani published Wings of Change: How the World’s Biggest Energy Drink Manufacturer Made a Mark in Football. In this podcast, we discuss the business the meaning and the lessons behind Red Bull’s football story.TOPICSWhy did they get into football? After going with his local club Salzburg, why did Dietrich Mateschitz expand to New York, Brazil, Ghana and Leipzig?The marketing link in India and GoaIs it just about selling drinks?Why are they so criticised? The particular criticism of RB Leipzig - the name and the ownership structure Why the German fans have maintained a special intensity around RB Leipzig How have RB Leipzig grown off the pitch and are they popular in Saxony? Are the East German roots of RB Leipzig are a factor too?The importance of Ralf Rangnick to the RB Leipzig story?His three Cs - Capital, Concept and Competence Getting success in taking players out of Africa The common philosophy across all the clubs on the pitchAre RB Leipzig the No1 and the others just feeder clubs?Their reaction to the criticismThe comparisons to Man City and City Football GroupIs there a difference with other brands backing clubs? Fiat and Juventus, Phillips and PSV, VW and Wolfsburg etc?Does their lack of history allow a culture of speedy innovation?Would and should RB Leipzig get into a remodelled European Super League if it were to be introduced? Why have they not moved into SE Asia?Are the Red Bull group inspired others? Have all these football acquisitions actually grown the Red Bull brand? What would the reaction be in German football if RB Leipzig won the Champions League?
