Xmas day training, player parties & Boxing Day games - The Managers Christmas Special

In the latest episode of The Managers, Mick McCarthy and Tony Pulis discuss all things Christmas. They take us inside what Christmas Day is like in the McCarthy and Pulis households and how they juggled those requirements during their playing days. The conversation delves into how they handled player Christmas parties during their managerial careers and whether having the players in for training on Christmas Day was worth it. They also talk about whether they ever suspected players purposefully getting themselves banned to get Christmas off, as well as the lack of Boxing Day fixtures in the Premier League this year.
