A new BBC Sounds podcast (above) takes you behind the scenes at Oxford United and Rotherham United's 2021/22 League One Campaigns following the guidance of their managers, Karl Robinson and Paul Warne.
Episodes One to Five have been released today July 14th:
It covers the final 90 days of the League One season, with unique access to the managers of Rotherham United, Paul Warne and Oxford United, Karl Robinson.
This "Moment of Truth" reveals an insight into the life of a professional football manager. With both managers mic’d up during matches, this is a unique and rare insight into game management and the key decisions as they happen. There is a fly on the wall view within the clubs, inside the minds of both managers as the League One season comes to a close and promotion either beckons, or drifts away for another year. Throughout the series, Paul and Karl also share windows into their personal lives. We get an insight into how their high profile roles impact their families and we hear directly from both managers’ wives.
Karl Robinson, Manager of Oxford United says: “The public have a perception of us as managers because of what we do within that box by the touchline. My life is entirely determined by that box. And that’s great because I feel safe in there. But I hope that this series shows there’s a lot more to doing our jobs - and us as people - than just that small box.”
Paul Warne, Manager of Rotherham United says: “Doing the series was a little bit like perverted therapy, but for a time it was therapy that was making us worse! The pressure on football managers is brutal and hopefully people will get a sense of what our world is like.”
