Box2Box – South Melbourne’s Papastergiadis on the NST & The Times’ Paul Joyce on Everton’s Points Deduction
When we began back in 2015, the first topic of discussion was a second division and the journey towards promotion and relegation - so like everyone else in football in this country, it’s as much with relief as any other emotion that Football Australia has announced the founding clubs for the inaugural National Second Tier - Rob Gilbert and Michael Edgley are joined by Chairman of South Melbourne Bill Papastergiadis to get a sense of his clubs reaction and what the next steps around planning look like.
Then the ripple effects of the Everton points deduction are vast - is this a power move by the Premier League against a financially stricken club – a canary in the coal mine before they go after the big dogs? To find out how it came to this and what it means for other clubs – specifically Manchester City and Chelsea we get the thoughts of Paul Joyce from The Times to dissect the story and what it means with Rob and Derek Dyson.
The lads bring home the Pod reflecting World Cup Qualification in South East Asia for nations like Thailand who now have a realistic chance of qualifying.
