About the episode
This week on the Fozcast, we’re back with another episode, and this time Watto joins us to discuss things that players didn’t know about football …
From the truth about football staff salaries to what really gets said inside dressing rooms, this episode gives a proper behind-the-scenes look at the game.
The lads discuss whether staff still get paid after getting sacked, how bonuses actually work when players are close to hitting them, and why David Moyes was reportedly still being paid by Manchester United years after leaving the club.
We also get brilliant insight into the role of a club captain, relationships between players and reporters, and what conversations are actually like inside football clubs when the cameras aren’t rolling.
Plus, Watto tells the story of how he originally got the England job working with Roy Hodgson, and the lads even break down how professional set-piece routines are designed ⚽️
Another episode packed with football insight, dressing room stories, and plenty of laughs throughout.
