Mark Chapman is joined by Andros Townsend, Shay Given and Rory Smith on the Monday Night Club.

With former boss Gary O’Neil ruling himself out of the running, what type of manager would be attracted to the Wolves job? Should the club be moving away from the ‘usual’ pool of Premier League managers? Ryan Leister, host of The Wolves Report, joins the pod to consider the wider issues associated with Wolves’ recent decline.

Shay offers insight on the dynamics in a goalkeeping group and the considerations when writing a book following the fallout from the publication of Mary Earps’ autobiography.

Former Scotland forward James McFadden joins to chat Old Firm derby. How different are Celtic under Martin O’Neill? Are Rangers improved under Rohl?

The panel consider Ruben Amorim’s tenure so far as Saturday marked his one-year anniversary in charge at Old Trafford.

Plus, have West Ham turned a corner? Did they make the right call in appointing Nuno Espirito Santo?
