Why Jürgen Klopp said no to the USA

On today's Briefing - Klopp said he needed a rest and he wasn't kidding. The US will have to search elsewhere. And what's going on with French football? Why haven't they got a TV deal in place? The season starts in a month!

Plus, did you spot the horrendous error in yesterday's show? Another humble apology is dispensed within. Sigh.

What's your favourite football book of all time? Let us know. And if you're listening on Spotify, there should be poll somewhere on this page. Unless I've broken Spotify.
