Angelina KellyHOST
I think around, yeah, December, January, this could rumble on until around April, May, according to Ben Jacobs, one of our senior correspondents.
Angelina KellyHOST
So who knows? But some of the things that he was saying, of course, Enzo Maresca was at the club a few years back as an assistant to Pep Guardiola, was within the under-23s set up before that.
Angelina KellyHOST
He is someone who knows the club and he wanted to make it very clear that he trusts the powers that be at Manchester City and made a point of saying it wasn't if we win the appeal, but when we win the appeal.
Dave DavisHOST
Some names just won't go away for obvious reasons, ladies and gents.
Dave DavisHOST
Ben Jacobs saying again, if Alexis McAllister leaves Liverpool in summer 2027, Liverpool are expected to be there for Lameen Kamara.
Dave DavisHOST
But they also like Manu Kone and Alex Scott as well.
Dave DavisHOST
Now for me, the rankings are slightly wrong there.
Dave DavisHOST
Who knows? But he's waiting for somewhere in European football a position to become available, isn't he? Right? Now, a couple of other links that some names just won't go away for obvious reasons, ladies and gents.
Dave DavisHOST
Ben Jacobs saying again, "If Alexis Mac Allister leaves Liverpool in summer 2027, Liverpool are expected to be there for Lamine Camara.
Dave DavisHOST
But they also like Manu Kone and Alex Scott as well." Now, for me, the rankings are slightly wrong there.
Dave DavisHOST
As in, the first priority should be Lamine Camara, without doubt, because of what he'll be.
Will GavinHOST
When I first read it, I thought this must be like a leak.
Will GavinHOST
This must be like Ben Jacobs or Alice Crooker, one of our guys, has like had this kind of, like Jorge Jesus' camp have leaked this out to make people know that this is the level of just insanity that we've got to now.
Will GavinHOST
But no, the narcissism knows no bounds because he thought, yeah, this is fine.
Will GavinHOST
This will win people over.
11 MINS LATER
Will GavinHOST
We had the...
Will GavinHOST
Punishment handed down for Tonda Eckert for Southampton for Spygate that we covered on the channel in so much depth back in May of this year.
Will GavinHOST
I'm delighted to say that joining myself or Gavin, the great Quaker Afari, alongside me is senior reporter for Talk Sport, Ben Jacobs.
Will GavinHOST
Ben, thank you so much for taking the time out to speak with us.
Daniel ChildsHOST
Moving on, Xabi Alonso sees Rhys James' primary position as being a midfielder.
Daniel ChildsHOST
This is not a surprise, but Ben Jacobs was with Alex Goldberg on the CFC Hub during the international break and he sort of said as much.
Daniel ChildsHOST
Quite revealing given, you know, Ben Jacobs, you know, pretty well connected in terms of reporting on Chelsea.
Daniel ChildsHOST
And I think there's still going to be this debate.
Daniel ChildsHOST
I mean, this is kind of a way to cheap plug my piece earlier in the international break about what goes next for Rhys James.
Dave DavisHOST
There's also a, there's two others that are really coming up time and time again.
Dave DavisHOST
Ben Jacobs was talking about Manu Kone as well as Lamine Kamara being a target.
Dave DavisHOST
So that's possible.
Dave DavisHOST
But Sunday night, almost like clockwork, Romano, national journalist have Alex Scott a year remaining on his contract to the end of the season.
Dave DavisHOST
Because we say some for the summer, which is true.
Dave DavisHOST
But some we want to be talking in January as well, don't we? Now, Ben Jacobs did his show for Gimby Sport.
Dave DavisHOST
We did kind of a Q&A, a newsletter thing.
Dave DavisHOST
And he talked about Liverpool a few times.
DazHOST
But, um, yeah, where, where was it? W- well, if you remember back and, and the show was there.
DazHOST
There's proof that we, we had Ben Jacobs on the night before, whom...
DazHOST
When we thought there was a chance [laughs] that this was happening.
DazHOST
We're, uh, a, a big, big chance.
DazHOST
Uh, and we were getting s- like, more excited and excited, excited about, about it.
DazHOST
And Ben, Ben Jacobs was, was, was agreeing with us that, that this, this was happening.
DazHOST
Uh, and then it was just i- the, the next day, I know I took a half day from work 'cause I was waiting for this to hap- everyone was waiting for this to happen.
DazHOST
It seemed to be the longest day ever.
David McIntyreHOST
Uh, welcome, uh, to you both.
David McIntyreHOST
Uh, lots of nice comments about Ben Jacobs, who we had on, on the la- on the last, uh, podcast, and deservedly so.
David McIntyreHOST
He was, uh, he was great, wasn't he? Even though, uh, say I, I disagreed with, uh, pretty much everything he said, but the way he-
Kevin GallenGUEST
[laughs]
George BensonHOST
So this is big because not only does this show that structurally at Chelsea we're about to enter a period of change.
George BensonHOST
If we go through a little bit more of this headline here from Ben Jacobs, "Amicable exit that was decided in the last few weeks following talks between Stewart and Behdad Eghbali," who is obviously now that Todd Boehly is no longer involved at Chelsea, Behdad Eghbali is the man.
George BensonHOST
Paul Winstanley, Sam Jewell, and Joe Shields will now all be sporting directors on equal footing.
George BensonHOST
Winstanley has responsibility for all areas including transfer negotiations, player contracts, and different club departments, the medical performance and operations.
