#1012 | Ed and Dharnish conclude their tactical review of the season, focusing on Michael Carrick's interim spell at United. Carrick's appointment mean no return for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and quickly produced results, with a focus on pragmatic but front-foot football. Carrick immediately installed a 4-2-3-1 system, highlighted by compact defending, fast transitions, plus one- and two-touch combinations in tight spaces. The strong results won him the job permanently, but slow starts and limited pressing/counter-pressing point to opportunities for improvement next season.

From there the conversation turns to what's next. Does Carrick have a ceiling that meets elite Champions League sides?

Rio argues Bruno deserves more respect because of the level of Manchester United teams he's been carrying, while Ste explains why the club's barren spell actually makes him even more valuable to supporters.The conversation also turns to Xabi Alonso's shock move to Chelsea, with Ste calling him the most exciting coach in world football and Rio questioning why he didn't wait for an opportunity to take over Arne Slot at Liverpool.Plus there's insight into what Casemiro really thinks about Bruno behind the scenes and why Rio believes Fernandes would have taken Manchester United's 2008 Champions League-winning side to another level.

Dharmesh Sheth is joined by Jacqui Oatley, Jason Burt and Mark Ogden to reflect on the weekend's sporting action.We kick things off with Man City's FA Cup win, edging Chelsea 1-0, as Chelsea appoint Xabi Alonso as their new manager; is Jason right to suggest they've lucked out with Alonso? We also consider Antoine Semenyo's stunning strike as the difference in a final that lacked drama, and discuss how City's experience once again helped them get over the line.Next stop, a dramatic climax to the Scottish Premiership title race, with Celtic pipping Hearts right at the death amid chaotic scenes. We discuss the fallout at full time, a less-than-satisfactory version of VAR, and the controversial midweek decision — before asking whether the arrival of Tony Bloom could turn Hearts into a genuine third force in Scottish football.Next, to news that Michael Carrick is set to get the Manchester United job on a permanent basis. Danyal Khan joins us from Old Trafford to reflect on Casemiro's farewell and Carrick's final home game of the season — but just how excited should United fans be by news of his potential two-year contract extension?Finally, another damaging defeat for Liverpool on Friday night, conceding four against Aston Villa and limping over the line for Champions League qualification. To add insult to injury, Salah appears to take a swipe at Arne Slot with a social media post calling for a return to “heavy metal football”, with several players also liking the post.-•You can watch the sporting action live on Sky Sports.

#1005 | Ed and Jamie discuss United's likely Champions League revenue uplift, which might be over £100m across prize/broadcast, matchday and sponsorships. Despite higher associated costs EBITDA projections might top £250m next year. How might that translate into summer spending under new squad-cost rules? It might well be a theoretical ceiling near £400m, with £300m more plausible. And what other revenue streams might there be from possible sales to bolster United's transfer budget? Finally, there's a discussion on World Cup finances. How will FIFA spend its projected $13bn World Cup revenues, driven by high ticket pricing, commercial deals, and broadcasting rights? 00:00 Introduction 05:16 Matchday Income and Sponsorship Bump 11:18 How Much Can United Spend? 16:46 Transfer Targets and Player Sales 19:33 Betway Sponsorship 26:03 Michael Carrick 39:35 FIFA World Cup Finances If you are interested in supporting the show and accessing a weekly exclusive bonus episode, check out our Patreon page or subscribe on Apple Podcasts.

On Clash of the Correspondents James is joined by Manchester United fan Alex Trembath and Nottingham Forest fan Mark Sutherns to discuss the latest at their clubs, but with objectives achieved are both teams now 'on the beach?' And is that good or bad for FPL managers? United will back in the Champions League next season and almost certain to finish third, with rumours now suggesting Michael Carrick will get the job permanently. Is that right? And how much does the club need to invest in the transfer window? Forest have been on a great run under Vitor Pereira and are now clear from relegation fears, but there was big disappointment in the Europa League semi final defeat to Aston Villa. What's next for Forest and Pereira? Plus, FPL discussion includes a look at one and two week punts, end of season motivation, Morgan Gibbs-White's form and whether Bruno Fernandes is the go-to captain for GW37.

Monday night saw Spurs once again spurn an opportunity to make the final two games of the season much less stressful, as Mathys Tel went from hero to villain. The Dutchman scored a screamer before bicycle kicking Ethan Ampadu inside the penalty area, allowing Leeds to grab an equaliser and keep the pressure on Roberto De Zerbi's side. Former Spurs midfielder Michael Carrick is having a better time of things lately, and is set to be offered the chance to continue as Manchester United boss on a permanent basis after delivering Champions League qualification from his interim spell. Another former Carrick place of work is Middlesbrough, who were eliminated from the Championship playoffs by Southampton on Tuesday night, but want to be reinstated after allegations of espionage overshadowed the occasion. Marley and Joel dig into everything from the week's football so far on today's FSD.

#1003 |  Ed and Dominic discuss United's new Betway training kit sponsorship worth £18m per year and the wider ethics and prevalence of betting money in football as front-of-shirt bans loom. They then cover controversy around the FA Youth Cup final being staged at City's 6,000-capacity Joie Stadium, limiting United's allocation compared to the 67,000 at Old Trafford in 2022. The conversation turns to Michael Carrick's interim reign: a pragmatic approach, improved results and momentum, Mainoo's introduction, and the risks of replacing him amid a thin managerial market and a Frankenstein squad. Then they preview Sunderland away, prioritising momentum above the introduction of too many youth team stars. 00:00 Introduction 01:36 Betway Training Kit Sponsorship 09:58 FA Youth Cup Final Controversy 14:06 Academy Players and the Reality of Elite Youth Football 22:12 Michael Carrick: The Case For and Against 31:37 The Manager Market and Alternatives to Carrick 38:18 Transfer Plans and Squad Needs for Next Season 40:28 Sunderland Match Preview If you are interested in supporting the show and accessing a weekly exclusive bonus episode, check out our Patreon page or subscribe on Apple Podcasts.

#1002 | Ed, Dharnish and Daniel react to United's 3–2 win over Liverpool and debate whether “underlying metrics” matter without context? United are succeeding on fine margins with elite attackers and reduced chances conceded under Michael Carrick. They break down Carrick's approach: bypassing the opposition press, sitting compact in a mid-block, and attacking quickly in transition. With Champions League secured and Carrick seen as favourite for the job, we discuss how his football might evolve toward more control while keeping his tactical flexibility. The focus turns to summer recruitment, especially finding the right midfield partner for Kobbie Mainoo, with quick-fire takes on targets like Wharton, Anderson, Baleba, Tchouaméni and Mateo Fernandez. 00:00 Introduction 01:24 Are the Underlying Metrics Bad? 04:38 Third Next Season - Acceptable? 08:31 Liverpool Match Analysis 10:20 Carrick's Game Model 13:52 How Does Carrick Evolve the Team? 22:53 Transfer Targets and Midfield Profiles 26:00 Rapid Fire Transfer Round If you are interested in supporting the show and accessing a weekly exclusive bonus episode, check out our Patreon page or subscribe on Apple Podcasts.

Manchester United have had an undoubtedly successful season, qualifying for the Champions League with underlying numbers perfectly in line with that position. But their results shifted markedly when they sacked Ruben Amorim and brought in Michael Carrick. Was this a major driver of their results or a mirage of finishing?We discuss the real tactical changes under Carrick and how they show up in the numbers, why Kobbie Mainoo is the key player in this tactical shift, some notable differences in how the team approaches game state, and nonetheless how there is clearly just a ton of variance going on here. Support the show
