In this episode, Lee, Lars and the Benny the Mysterious German officially launch Replot Rovers FC — a brand new football club being built from scratch on a small island off the west coast of Finland.

This isn’t just an idea anymore. It’s happening.

We talk about where the project started, why we decided to take it seriously, and what it actually takes to build a football club from the ground up — from people and identity, to structure, ambition, and long-term vision.

There’s also an honest look at what we want this club to represent — not just on the pitch, but in the community — and why football still has the power to bring people together in a way nothing else can.

Whether you’re a player, coach, supporter, or just someone who loves the game, this is a story you can follow from day one.

This is the start of something valuable and we want you to be Replot Rovers fan from day one.

In this episode, Lee and Lars talk to Jackie Freeman a.k.a Jackie Grealish (and her husband Ray) about the challenges of playing football as you get older, getting your first England call up at the age of 61 and much more.

Jackie went viral recently on social media after the BBC featured her as the "oldest women's footballer in the UK". She returned to her playing days after a 35 year break, and is still going strong. A truly inspirational story for anyone reaching the later stages of their football career.

As always, we small talk about some other things going on in the football world, and drop a few hints about what's to come on the podcast. We would love to hear your comments on this week's episode.

In this episode, Lee and Lars take a closer look at the growing instability of the coaching role in modern football.

With a wave of recent managerial changes in the Veikkausliiga, the conversation starts in Finland before widening out to the global game. Why are coaches being given so little time to build? How much authority do they really have these days? And what happens when football decisions are driven by business interests and short-term results?

The discussion explores the pressure coaches face at every level of the game, and how recruitment strategy, and leadership is often taken out of their hands. An honest, reflective chat about power, trust and what coaching has become in modern day football.
