Of course Ange Postecoglou is head of the class but not far back is Kevin Muscat with a Premiership and second place in the last two seasons – will Harry Kewell be the next manager to polish his craft in the land of the rising sun? Rob and Edge discuss it all with our mate from The Asian Game Scott McIntyre.

Edge and Joey Lynch discuss it all with James McNicholas from The Athletic…
The lads bring home the Pod looking ahead to the mens Asian Cup just one month away.
