Whistleblowers

Whistleblowers is football’s most original new podcast - lifting the lid on the parts of the game no one else talks about. Hosted by Gordon Smart, with ex-elite referee Mark Clattenburg and veteran journalist Ian Ladyman, this isn’t another safe roundtable of punditry. It’s football told differently - with insight, authority, and plenty of laughs. From what really goes on in the referee’s room, to how clubs spin crises and who’s pulling the strings behind the scenes - Whistleblowers brings the inside stories only those at the heart of the game can tell. Players have had their say. Now, it’s time to hear from the people who actually know how football works. Hosts: Gordon Smart, Mark Clattenburg and Ian Ladyman Executive Producer: Jamie East Producer: Henry Williams Researcher: William Colledge Booker: Ashley Whitt Production Manager: Vittoria Cecchini  A Daily Mail Podcast.

    When Big Sam Threatened to Kick My Door Down

    Welcome back to Whistleblowers - Football’s Most Original New Podcast. Right then, we’ve had our nicey nice intros, getting to know everyone, time now to really get stuck into a feast of football.  With two Englishmen and a Scot, there’s plenty to moan about following a rather uninspiring international schedule. Scotland sit with one win in their last 9 games, despite now boasting a squad that could be challenging, is it time for Steve Clarke’s side to step it up a gear? We analyse the latest case of Nottingham Forest controversy, after they wrote a letter to Uefa, voicing their concerns about Crystal Palace competing in the Europa League. Mark provides some fascinating insight into what it’s like to work there (as his appointment, as it goes, was one of the controversial moments!) AND we welcome ‘This City is Ours’ actor, James Nelson-Joyce onto the show. The Liverpool-born actor shares his thoughts on: Trent Alexander-Arnold’s decision to move to Real Madrid, whether he’d like to be 007 one day… and promises to do a ‘Whistleblowers’ themed celebration if he scores at Soccer Aid this weekend!

    John Terry and The Pyramid of Vodkas

    Hello and welcome back to Whistleblowers - football’s most original new podcast. In part two, Gordon, Mark and Ian answer your questions telling tales of their experiences with John Terry and highlighting his on-field and off-field personas. Is Mark’s feud with the Chelsea legend as bitter as it seemed in a recent Baller League encounter? Gordon discusses his incredible journey to interviewing Robbie Williams at his home, and how the  Ian reflects on the challenges of press conferences, and defends the stance he took when fiercely challenging Erik ten Hag last season. What did you make of the exchange? Was Ian in the right? We also begin picking our all time XI. Why? Because it’s classic pub chat and is a nice way to end the pod. First up, naturally, goalkeepers.  Presenters: Gordon Smart, Mark Clattenburg and Ian Ladyman Producer: Henry Williams Researcher: William Colledge Production Manager: Vittoria Cecchini  A Daily Mail Podcast.
