Episode 181 - Chelsea Spent BILLIONS To End Up HERE?
Plus Hayden's origin story and how conferences helped his career
Chelsea have sacked another manager. But is Liam Rasenior really the problem? Patrick and Hayden break down what went wrong at Stamford Bridge, why BlueCo's £2 billion project is starting to unravel, and just how tight Chelsea's hands are tied this summer under the new SCR financial rules. Then Hayden tells the story of how he broke into football analytics — and why showing up in person to conferences changed his career.
