• Can Thomas Tuchel and England Handle Jude Bellingham’s ‘Indiscipline’?

  This week on Whistleblowers, poor Ian is left to fend for himself in the studio on his lonesome, with Mark in New York and Gordon sunning himself in Ibiza. Lots to get through today as they begin by dissecting Celtic’s shock exit from the Champions League, and analyse the potential storm brewing around Thomas Tuchel and Jude Bellingham… the lads don’t hold back. Is Tuchel already on a collision course with England’s star man? And is the Bellingham family becoming too involved behind the scenes? Mark offers an insider’s view on refereeing Bellingham - and admits the side of Jude fans don’t always see - while Ian questions whether England are risking their future by alienating their best player. There’s also a heated debate on VAR, time-wasting… plus a hilarious story from Clattenburg about the time he didn’t even realise the game should have ended.

• Did Sir Alex Ferguson pretend to BRIBE Mark Clattenburg on National TV?!

  This week on Whistleblowers, Gordon Smart, Mark Clattenburg, Ian Ladyman, and guest Rory Jennings tackle the burning question: are managers still coaches, or just buyers? From Slot’s Liverpool midfield rebuild to Eddie Howe’s reinvention of Joelinton, the lads explore whether developing players is a dying art. The conversation spirals into the realities of time in football management-why Potter, Lampard, and Southgate show the huge difference patience can make. Mark then lifts the lid on life inside the tunnel, including Sir Alex Ferguson’s cheeky envelope stunt, Rooney meltdowns, and ball boys mimicking punch-ups.  Finally, the battle of the All-Time XI reaches its climax. Dalglish or Shearer? Messi alongside Ronaldo? After fierce debate, the fans have their say and crown a winner. It’s a packed episode of football insight, insider stories, and big laughs-covering everything from tactical coaching to tunnel chaos.

• Can Cole Palmer EVER Regain His Golden Boy Status at Chelsea?

  This week on Whistleblowers, Gordon Smart, Ian Ladyman, Mark Clattenburg and - back by popular demand - Rory Jennings dive headfirst into the chaos of the Premier League.  Chelsea’s ongoing identity crisis dominates the debate, with Cole Palmer hailed by some as the only reason the team aren’t in freefall, while others question whether his Ballon d’Or nomination proves football has lost the plot.  Newcastle’s turbulent summer is laid bare, from toxic fan unrest to transfer failures and the growing pressure on Eddie Howe. West Ham are in the firing line too, with Graham Potter’s appointment sparking fierce arguments about style, fit and fan expectations.  Rory claims that this year’s promoted clubs have already “shamed” last season’s, sparking plenty of pushback, while Arsenal’s so-called killer instinct comes under the microscope.  Whistleblowers | Football From The Inside Out Hosts: Gordon Smart, Mark Clattenburg and Ian Ladyman Producer: Henry Williams Executive Producer: Jamie East Researcher: William Colledge Booker: Ashley Whitt Video Editor: Luke Shelley Content Editor: Joseph Palmer Production Manager: Vittoria Cecchini  Social Handles: X: @blowerspod Instagram: whistleblowerspod TikTok: whistleblowerspodcast Email: [email protected] A Daily Mail Podcast.

• HEATED: Referee Debate With Mark Clattenburg Takes a Turn!

  Mark Clattenburg, Ian Ladyman and Gordon Smart go head-to-head in a fiery debate over the handball rule: why it’s broken, why VAR makes it worse, and why fans, referees and even the rule-makers can’t agree on what’s right anymore. From “take all this b******s out” to “we’ll never fix it,” sparks fly as our panel tears apart the contradictions, the grey areas, and the chaos surrounding the game’s most divisive decision. We also touch on the madness of kit prices, Sunderland’s classy gesture to lifelong fans, and the final selections for our all-time XIs — but make no mistake, this one’s all about the handball fight that’s splitting football.

• Inside Liverpool’s Plan to Build a Premier League Dynasty

  Liverpool’s summer spending has smashed through records - but is it smart squad building or an expensive gamble? Gordon Smart, Ian Ladyman and Mark Clattenburg are joined by Daily Mail Sport’s Merseyside reporter Lewis Steele to unpack the Reds’ £500m window, the brewing Alexander Isak transfer saga, and whether defence should trump attack in the market. We also tackle the pressure on Arne Slot’s Liverpool 2.0, Newcastle’s frustration, and the emotional tributes planned at Anfield for Diogo Jota and Andre Silva. Away from Anfield, the panel dive deep into Jack Grealish’s career crossroads - from treble glory at Manchester City to questions over professionalism, wild off-field stories, and why Everton could be his perfect reset.
