In this exclusive WSC Supporters’ Club edition of the podcast, magazine editor Andy Lyons, writer Harry Pearson and host Daniel Gray take a break from dancing the Ces Podd salsa to discuss Short Managerial Reigns, from the Napoleon of Football’s Elm Park pitstop to Les Miserables of The Valley via a Cowdenbeath burger van.
