About this episode
What’s up Rank Squad! Jack’s away enjoying some well-earned rest, so Dean and Sam tackle this week’s pod as a duo—and it’s a big ‘un! It’s the long-promised, much-talked-up REBUILDS episode, where we take a look at 5 clubs in dire need of some help and try to come to their assistance. There’s Benfica, who are facing up to a future without Darwin Núñez—but with Roger Schmidt, pressing mastermind. There’s Everton, who must now ride of the wings of Frank Lampard and try to improve upon a terrible 2021-22. There’s Chelsea, who need to buy a new defence, maybe a new midfield and possibly a new forward. How exhausting. There’s Juventus, who need star power, creativity, an actual midfield and some support for Dušan Vlahović. And there’s Manchester United, obviously. All of that, plus a melon to hand out at the end, then Dean takes on the Gibberish ranking and discusses the total mess that is next season’s schedule and rules. It’s Ranks!
