What actually happens when a Premier League giant falls from grace?
This week on the Daly Dose, we’re joined by author Todd Smith to discuss his captivating new book, Relegated: One American's Pints-and-Pies Journey from the Top to the Bottom of English Football.
Todd didn't just watch the matches; he embarked on a cross-country odyssey that he (somehow) convinced his family to support. From the glittering stadiums of the elite to the "out-of-the-way" grounds that time forgot, Todd captured the true soul of the English game.

The Power of Community: How a local football club serves as the heartbeat of a town, bonding generations together through shared joy and collective suffering.
