Lifelong Chelsea fan, former player and coach, Jody Morris was this week’s special guest on No Tippy Tappy Football. Jody joined Big Sam Allardyce and Natalie Pike to give an insight on Maurico Pochettino, the shift away from academy players and his reaction to Thiago Silva's wife seemingly taking to social media to criticise the manager.

The former midfielder, and former Swindon Town manager opened up about his time working with Frank Lampard, coaching in the Chelsea academy system and how he's ready to get back into the game.

Other topics covered include Jody’s experience at Lilleshall, playing with Rio Ferdinand in the England school boys and the ambition of Sir Jim Ratcliffe to build Manchester United a new stadium.

Big Sam also answers community questions about whether or not he would return to former clubs Crystal Palace and Blackburn Rovers.

All of this and more in the latest episode of the No Tippy Tappy Football series, brought to you by William Hill.
