Andy Whing joins George Elek for a thoughtful and very open conversation about football management, mental health and what comes next.

Whing reflects on losing his job at Barrow after working for years to reach the EFL, the impact that disappointment had on him, and the impact of a premature return to management. He speaks candidly about the pressure and isolation that can come with the job and also discusses recognising that he wasn’t himself, stepping away from Brackley, speaking to his family and the LMA, and why opening up has helped him reach a much better place.

He looks back on building a promotion-winning Banbury side, taking Solihull Moors to Wembley twice, the challenges of rebuilding Barrow’s squad after losing key players, the growing pressures on managers in the EFL and how much control a head coach really has over recruitment, development and results.
