He tells our reporter Dafydd Pritchard how the board will appoint a new manager as they seek to bounce straight back to the Championship, and how much the personal abuse from a section of Cardiff fans has affected him.Dafydd then joins Carl to discuss some of the points raised by Dalman and whether his answers will appease the disgruntled fans.

Welcome to the End of the Season, and to the Wyness Shuffle's annual end of season podcast. This year's edition: Survivor Series. Join pod regulars Andrew Moffat, Stevie Riley, Sandy Sutherland, Lee Tarling, and Andrew Young as they dissect the last two most enjoyable games of The ICT Rollercoaster of ICT Rollercoasters of a season; take a look at what could be ahead for ICT off the pitch, discuss the monumental efforts of Scott Kellacher and Billy McKay; debate the percentage of Skol lager, where to purchase an inflatable camel, if anyone can actually remember the Montrose game; and finally chat to two ICT players: Alfie Bavidge and Captain Danny Devine! 00:01:05: Introduction - We've Survived! Moff introduces the panel, and asks for their initial thoughts about ICT surviving in League One, the season that has just finished and the achievements of Scott Kellacher. 00:15:49: Game by Game Just two games to cover, but what games they were! We start by discussing the survival-clinching 3-0 stroll against Arbroath, then try to remember what actually happened in the 2-0 win on celebration day at Montrose. 00:35:51: Player Awards We pay tribute to the players who were voted Player of the Year and Young Player of the Year by their teammates and the fans: Musa Dibaga, Charlie Gilmour and Keith Bray. 00:50:23: Talk to Me: Alfie Bavidge Unusually, almost all ICT's loan players this season turned out to be stars, but none shone more brightly than Alfie Bavidge. The Aberdeen striker, whose goals played such a big part in the club's survival, dropped into the pod to tell us about becoming an instant hero for his dad's old team and revealed who his favourite Inverness team-mate was.     01:05:03: Administration – the endgame? In the final week of the season, it was announced that a CVA would be put to Caley Thistle's creditors on 22nd May. If accepted by the creditors, then the club will exit administration and be owned by preferred bidder and all-round saviour Alan Savage. We chat briefly about recent developments and whether anything could still go wrong.      01:13:48: Talk to Me: Danny Devine Remember Wyness Shuffle interviews with actual, serving Caley Thistle players? Well, they're back! Club captain and current longest-serving player Danny Devine sat down with Stevie to talk about his relief at surviving in League One, his memories of signing for the club under Terry Butcher, the dark days of relegation under Duncan Ferguson and being managed by Scott Kellacher and Billy Mckay.      01:46:58: 2025-26 Season Lookahead As always, The Wyness Shuffle will return with a bumper season preview podcast some time in July, but for now we look at who we could be playing in L1 next season before casting our eyes upon the transfer market and some Wish List signings.   02:05:15 Competition time Your chance to win some glorious ICT artwork! 02:08:00: Moments of the season The boys name their best of-pitch and best on-pitch moments of the season. It's been emotional, put it that way. 02:14:26: A View From the Fans We hear from a number of very happy Caley Thistle fans at the last game of the season at Montrose, and learn the words to great new song. 02:17:20 Bye for now Bye for now from us, and to two ICT legends, to whom we dedicate the pod and the season. ANOTHER SEASON OF UPS AND DOWNS AND AROUNDS… There's it.

The last pod of the 2024/25 season is here!

The final day of the regular season didn't disappoint. Twenty four thousand turned out for Bradford v Fleetwood…in the fourth tier. Leeds and Burnley both reach one hundred points in the Championship and Leyton Orient storm into the League One playoffs on the back of five straight wins. ‘Producer Neil' joins Gregor Robertson to review the final day and ponder who makes it to the play off finals at Wembley…?

Andy Burke is joined by Rory Loy and Craig Telfer to talk about the winners from the PFA Scotland annual awards - Celtic's Daizen Maeda, Motherwell captain Lennon Miller and Falkirk boss John McGlynn - and look ahead to the start of the Premiership, Championship and League One play-off quarter-finals.

Coventry City manager Frank Lampard has praised former manager Mark Robins and owner Doug King after guiding them to the Championship play-offs despite taking over with the club 17th in the table. Luton manager Matt Bloomfield has apologised to the club's supporters following their relegation to League One after a 5-3 defeat at West Brom, describing back-to-back relegations as a 'painful' moment for them. In the Premier League, Aston Villa moved a step closer to finishing in the Top 5 with a 1-0 win at home to Fulham live on talkSPORT, whilst Leicester scored their first Premier League goal at home in 2025 after beating already-relegated Southampton 2-0 at the King Power. Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta reacts to their 2-1 home defeat to Bournemouth, as fans question whether they can go on to finish in the Top 2 of the Premier League this season. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Liverpool wrapped up the Premier League and secured their 20th top-flight title, but Eddie doubts they'll be able to repeat the feat next season. Wrexham's promotion from League One also puts them one step closer to the Premier League, but the Championship may be their toughest test yet. The Cleveland Browns finally halted Shedeur Sanders' slide down the 2025 NFL Draft in the 5th round, but is there any justification for the accusations of racism or bias behind the drop? Eddie and Frank think it had more to do with his talent than his personality.  Plus, the Last of Us 2 season 2 is in full swing, but is Bella Ramsey capable of taking the lead from Pedro Pascal, and why have the writers made Ellie so unlikeable? 

Part One: Wrexham legend Mickey Thomas reflects on the club's latest promotion and the pivotal role he played at the start of the incredible journey under Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney. Thomas was centre stage at the Cae Ras alongside the charismatic owners as they celebrated an unprecedented third promotion in a row. The 70-year-old also pays tribute to his friend Mike Peters, the lead singer of The Alarm and huge football fan, who died this week.Part Two: Carl, Iwan and Sam ponder what next for Cardiff City after their relegation to League One. Did the troubled club need to hit "rock bottom" to instigate some of the operational changes many have demanded for such a long time? And is Alan Sheehan the correct man to bring stability and success to Swansea City?

The podcast that no one wanted but everyone was secretly expecting. How to dissect an encouraging, yet ultimately meaningless, win.Archie, Chris, Drew and Mark are joined — heroically — by Preston fan and pod host Josh McLoughlin in Part 1. Inevitably, the focus is on Luton's Laurel and Hardy-style 90th-minute winner, which had a huge impact on both teams just 30 minutes before kick-off.Argyle rode their luck, Preston ran out of ideas, and somehow dragged themselves back into relegation trouble. Is it worse to be pulled into the battle at the last minute, or to have been stuck in it for five months? What can a head coach realistically say when asked about his future?Either way, it's 2–1 to the League One Boys — as serenaded by the magnificent Green Army, who are rightly praised after a standout performance in the stands on such an unusual and ultimately disappointing day.Part 2 sees thoughts turn to League One and potential retained players. Who will stay, who will go, what will Muslic do — and will he even still be here? None of us have any real idea, of course, but it's good therapy.Finally, we look ahead to Leeds and one last game in the second tier.For now, anyway.COYGSupport the show Hosted on Acast.

Welcome in for another edition of the Morning Espresso from the SDH Network, brought to you by Oglethorpe University, Atlanta's premier undergraduate learning experience and soccer powerhouse.Atlanta United traded Xande Silva to St. Louis last night for a guaranteed $100K in General Allocation Money, and St. Louis will take his full salary onto their salary cap. The fee could rise to $250K in GAM if certain incentives are met.Other moves around the league yesterday, the final day of the Primary Transfer Window, included Willy Agada going to RSL and Robert Taylor moving from Miami to Austin. More moves could be announced today, the deals had to be completed on paper by last night to be official. The window is now closed until the Secondary Transfer Window for MLS opens in late July. Vancouver hosts Miami tonight in the first leg of the Concacaf Champions Cup semifinals in what should be a sold out BC Place. People are comparing it to Pele's visit with the Cosmos in 1977. Don't discount the Whitecaps in this one, they're currently leading the Supporters' Shield race in MLS and navigated tricky matches with Monterrey and Pumas to get here. Our old friend Juanjo Purata leveled the other semifinal late for Tigres against Cruz Azul. They head to Mexico City for next week's second leg tied at 1-1. Milan hasn't had a great season this year, but they've owned their rivals Inter. Yesterday, they advanced to the Coppa Italia final with a 3-0 win, ruining Inter's treble hopes. Real Madrid defeated Getafe 1-0 yesterday to keep pace with Barcelona at the top of La Liga. However, they lost Eduardo Camavinga due to a torn adductor tendon, he will miss the rest of the season with the injury. They play Barca on Saturday in the Copa del Rey final in Sevilla. Reading have gotten another extension in their deadline to sell the club, they are in the final stages of the transaction and have until May 5 to complete it. The new buyer, who is still confidential at this stage, will take over the current financial obligations of the club right now as they try to earn a promotion playoff spot in League One. Everton announced a new investor, Rangers confirmed the previously reported negotiations with the San Francisco 49ers, and Spezia was sold with Charlie Stillitano becoming the Serie B club's new President. The drama with Vinicius Jr. and Real Madrid was covered a great piece by Mario Cortegana in The Athletic. Basically, don't believe the Spanish tabloids that a contract extension with the club is imminent and don't discount the possibility of Vini ending up in Saudi Arabia for an insane amount of money both to him and Real Madrid. And then, don't be surprised if Madrid go shopping in England to replace him. Check out the podcast for more money talk in the game around the world.More Espresso on Friday on the SDH Network, presented by Oglethorpe University.

And suddenly Cardiff City have just two games to save themselves from relegation to League One. Manager Omer Riza paid the price for a run of one win in 13 with the sack, leaving local hero Aaron Ramsey the unenviable task of trying to save the Bluebirds. He was close to securing a precious win in his first game in charge, but a wonder strike from Oxford's Cameron Brannagan ended that. So it leaves Cardiff needing to win their final two games of the season to stand a chance of staying up... and Iwan and Sam aren't ready to give up hope just yet.No such worries for Swansea, who have surged clear of relegation trouble with a record-breaking run of wins. Has Alan Sheehan done enough to warrant the manager's job on a full-time basis?And the battle between Wrexham and Wycombe for second place in League One took another twist over Easter, much to Sam's annoyance! But at least he felt the love from the Burnley faithful on the long journey back from Bolton.

Not often do you hear of a goalkeeper going from the Premier League to Tier 9 in the space of a few short years - only to gradually make his way back into the throes of a League One promotion race at the age of 37. Ben Hinchliffe (that's Hinch-liffe, not Hinch-cliffe) is a straight-talking stopper with a whopper of a story to tell - from driving trucks part-time to dislodging every aspiring goalkeeper brought in by Stockport to replace him. Now, as he currently sits on the sidelines with the first lengthy injury of his career, the Prestonian is eyeing a 400th appearances for his beloved County - plus a heck of a lot more if he has his way. Proper goalkeeper.

Welcome in for another edition of the Morning Espresso from the SDH Network, brought to you by Oglethorpe University, Atlanta's premier undergraduate learning experience and soccer powerhouse.Nottingham Forest are trying to book their spot in the Champions League for next season and secure a top-4 finish in the Premier League this season. Nuno Espírito Santo has gone about it in a very different way than most, but it has worked up to this point for his squad. They could be the first team in Premier League history to finish in the top 4 with average possession numbers of less than 40%. What's interesting is that they pair that with dropping off from a higher press as well. They try to pick teams off in the middle third or defensive third, baiting opposing center backs or defensive midfielders by dropping off the ball to take away their passing options. Forest's attackers almost want the opponent on the ball to pass them, they stay high and look for the direct counter. Nuno's side tries to force opponents to play longer or through a crowded middle of the pitch. When Forest wins the ball, they have even numbers to attack with a direct approach. It's worked well. Generally when they've conceded goals, it's been from crosses or from shots outside the 18. Is it a recipe for long term success? It's never been done this way and been successful for one season, so let's continue to wait and see. Could it get Forest to the Champions League? It's possible as 3 spots will get decided between 5 teams that are currently separated by 3 points. Forest is in 3rd at the moment with the top 5 going into next season's Champions League. Leeds and Burnley will rejoin the Premier League next season and have settled into that yo-yo level between the top flight and the Championship. Leeds want to be an established top flight team like they've been for the majority of this history (before the Premier League anyway), but can they get there? It seems that as time continues to tick on, there's a new tier of clubs between the Premier League and Championship. It's not ideal for teams to be constantly going back and forth, but I'm not sure what could be done to prevent these gaps forming between clubs based on riches or spending. Wrexham is trying to change their status as they seek their third straight promotion. They sit in 2nd place in League One right now and are on pace to earn promotion to the Championship. Is that where their promotion train slows? Will make for interesting television either way, right?Georgia high school soccer action is now into the state tournament portion of the schedule.

Ander Iturralde da la bienvenida a Héctor Kriok y Gonzalo Carol para analizar toda la acción del fin de semana en la Premier League...Comenzando por el triunfo del Liverpool en Leicester que le deja el título de la Premier League para rematar la semana que viene (el Leicester no tiene que esperar a la semana que viene, ellos ya han descendido con esto); continuando por la apabullante victoria del Arsenal en Ipswich para reforzar su tercer subcampeonato seguido; así como el Chelsea quiere volver a la Champions y empezó por ganar de la manera menos convincente posible al Fulham pero al menos lo hizo remontando; algo que no le hizo falta a un Aston Villa que devoró al Newcastle con un gol antes de cumplirse el primer minuto de juego y que no paró; pero sí se quedó parado fue el Everton con los postreros goles ganadores del Manchester City (y la surrealista, no sabemos si cierta teoría de por qué Khusanov ha dejado de jugar); jugar jugó mucho y muy bien el Brentford para ganar al Brighton; cosa que no hubo entre Crystal Palace y Bournemouth: una victoria, sólo un empate; como también entre el West Ham y el humildemente heroico Southampton; el Manchester United perdió con el Wolverhampton porque por supuesto; se jugaron las semifinales de la Champions femenina; Championship está que arde, como también League One y Two con un viejo conocido al borde de un milagro; como Yaya Sanogo en el Amazonas o una victoria en el tenis de mesa y mucho más.Apoya a que Alineación Indebida pueda prosperar, accede a todo nuestro contenido premium y a nuestro server de Discord suscribiéndote por tan sólo 1.00$/1.00€ en: https://www.patreon.com/alineacionindebidaAdemás...

In this episode, Archie, Chris and Drew reflect on Argyle's 3-1 win over Frank Lampard's Coventry side — a result that just about keeps survival hopes alive. They break down the team's performance, key moments in the match, and standout individuals. Naturally, Bundu gets his moment in the spotlight after a superb showing, with two goals and an assist to his name. There are also honourable mentions across the park, particularly for Palsson, Szucs and Randell.In Part Two, the mood shifts slightly as the pod takes a look at the cold, hard data surrounding Argyle's survival chances. With the infamous supercomputer giving the Greens just a 1% shot at staying up, there's an air of resignation — but not quite surrender. They outline what needs to happen, results-wise, from Derby and Luton, and discuss how taking it to the final day could give Argyle a puncher's chance. The conversation also touches on the realities of a potential return to League One, and the enduring joy of football beyond the Premier League — the rawness, the charm, and that closer connection. From dugout interviews to less polished matchdays, there's something special about life lower down the pyramid. Support the show Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
