  • What does Trump's return mean for global sport?
    Nov 12 2024

    So, Donald Trump is back in the White House - and while America has decided, the sporting world remains divided...

    As the World Cup, Ryder Cup, Olympics and more descend on the US over the next four years, what impact will Trump’s Presidency have on global sport?

    Is he on a collision course with the International Olympic Committee over transgender ban?

    Will FIFA’s powers grow thanks to Gianni Infantino’s ‘great friend’?

    How would he fix golf in 15 minutes?

    Investigations reporter for The Telegraph Ben Rumsby & Amnesty International's Steve Cockburn join Gabby & Mark to discuss...

    Later, following Mark Cavendish's retirement, close friend and ex-Team GB teammate, Adam Blythe, joins us to discuss Cav's incredible comeback story and cycling legacy.

    Plus, The Sports Agents reflect on *that* David Coote video and the potential ramifications for Howard Webb and the PGMOL.

    This week on The Sports Agents,

    Do winning teams need to be a bit "toxic"? England rugby centurion Danny Care, who has won three Six Nations and two Premiership titles, joins us on the podcast to discuss the "dictatorship ruled by fear" at England under Eddie Jones.

    Plus, Care spills some of his party stories - can you guess what tattoo he got in Vegas with his England team mates?

    Later, we chat about the 'haves' and the 'have nots' in tennis. We're joined by former professional tennis player Conor Niland - if you haven't heard of him, that's kind of the point! The man who beat Roger Federer aged 12 tells us about the loneliness and grind of being outside the top 100, and life on tour with the golden generation.

    As Arsenal lose their hugely popular sporting director Edu, we speak to Clive Palmer from The Arsenal Vision Podcast, about the void that he's left at the club and how to fill it.

    And we share our sporting howler stories. If you've got one of your own please get in touch!

  • Do winning teams need to be a bit "toxic"?
    Nov 7 2024

    England rugby centurion Danny Care, who won three Six Nations and two Premiership titles, joins Gabby and Mark on the podcast today...

    "A dictator who ruled by fear" - that's how Care describes ex-England manager Eddie Jones. Hyper-successful sporting environments can be toxic. But is that the price you pay to win? Is that healthy? And does it give one person too much power to define careers and lives?

    Care also spills some of his rugby stories too - what tattoo do you think he got in Vegas with his England team mates? We find out.

    And was that Noel Gallagher on Man City's Champions League commentary?!

    00:00 - Habla español?

    09:50 - England's Danny Care

    36:30 - Noel Gallagher's commentary
