WE are joined by football royalty for SACKED! as Dave Bassett opens up on the art of management, coping with anxiety in retirement, how Elton John sacked him and a very public falling out with Simon Jordan. 
With more than 1,000 games in management at Wimbledon, Watford, Sheffield United, Crystal Palace and Nottingham Forest among others, Bassett won promotion seven times during a colourful career. 
With such an impressive CV it makes Bassett an unmissable first guest on SACKED! — a high-concept, white-space show that goes inside the power, pressure and politics of the Premier League.
Each week, SACKED! brings together decision-makers and insiders — owners, chairs, executives, managers and head coaches, sporting directors, former players and leading journalists — to discuss the biggest issues in the game.
Please spread the word and tell the football family there’s a new show in town.

Description

SACKED! is a high-concept football show that takes listeners behind the scenes of the Premier League — where power, pressure and politics collide.
Hosted by former Sunday Supplement presenter and founder of AMG Global Neil Ashton, SACKED! is set in the Owner’s Box of the fictional Crisis Club FC and features weekly guests including managers, former players, CEOs, sporting directors and leading journalists.
Each week the real stories behind football’s biggest decisions are discussed — the sackings, battles for survival, and what it’s like to win and lose at the highest level of the world’s most watched sport.
Each week the agenda features Crisis Club FC, Sackology and the Press Conference — where Neil and his guests are grilled by the most demanding people of all: The Fans.
Smart, dramatic and brutally honest, SACKED! is football told from the top down.
New episodes weekly.
