Mailbag: Is there still a place for firefighter managers in the Premier League?

With Roy Hodgson’s time at Crystal Palace seemingly drawing to a close, is this the end for the traditional firefighter manager? Marcus, Jim and Andy debate that on today’s Mailbag. Elsewhere, Andy explains why Franck Ribéry is the most unique footballer he’s seen, Marcus compares Arjen Robben to John Wick and Jim suggests what he would buy Kevin Keegan for his birthday.
