"In a twist of fate that stunned host Gary Neville, the former Tottenham manager was physically present in the studio just as the news broke that Frank had been relieved of his duties. The timing of the dismissal, coming less than 24 hours after a dismal defeat to Newcastle left Spurs hovering above the relegation zone, added a layer of palpable tension to the recording."
"Former Manchester United captain Gary Neville was left in disbelief by the development live on air. He then revealed to the audience that Postecoglou was actually in the building, originally scheduled to record a special Stick to Football episode slated for release next week. However, following the breaking news from North London, the production schedule was immediately scrapped. A switch was made to release the episode with Postecoglou this Thursday morning instead."
"As Postecoglou entered the studio to take his seat opposite Neville, he offered a reaction that was both understated and devastatingly poignant. Simply remarking, Some timing eh, the Australian acknowledged the surreal nature of discussing the demise of the man who replaced him, just moments after it happened. The full episode comes out on Thursday and is sure to be an all timer."
