The Football Manager Football Show

It's episode 155 of The Football Manager Football Show and this week we've got a mix of FA Cup, League Cup and Premier League drama to unfold while the January transfer window is very much open for business in 2026. So much so, that some of the Saudi Arabian heavy hitters are coming in strong for key names for both City and Liverpool, causing ructions in one dressing room in particular as the cracks look like they're beginning to show - or are they?

As a pre-cursor, there is added soccer, wrestling and food talk this week before we settle in for some Football Manager action with spin off productions The Wrestling Fan Wrestling Show and Ken On Food now streaming.

As we reach the middle of January, there's some Champions League business to plan for with the closing two games of the new group-stage format and January wouldn't be January without some incoming transfers. But when there's lots of money at play, why won't players just move?

Hear all about it when you press play.

Contains strong language.
