Fit & Proper

Podcast and radio legend Chris Stark joins the boys as a favour to turn his beloved Watford into a certified community. Everyone from the players to the catering staff and stewards playing for the badge. Literally, too, for one lucky fan each week. And who wouldn’t want to play for a team with both the double dugout and the double Dyche? Buzzing. A Goalhanger Films Production Produced by Harry Lin...

 For the first time on Fit and Proper, an actual, bona fide, legitimate football club owner joins us to take over another football club. Spencer ‘FC’ Owen, owner of Hashtag United, uses his business acumen to give West Ham a clear identity. In this case, the one from the films. Violent, aggressive, intimidating. The West Ham of yesteryear. So old school is his approach, it includes a moat and a dr...

Comedian and Liverpool fan Alfie Brown takes over Blackpool (some similar letters to Liverpool) to create a ’filthy’ club for lads. Hospitality for stag dos, the most unacceptable mascot of all time, and with some modern simulator technology, probably a lot of sick. And it’s all just for the followers. Meanwhile, Lloyd gets distracted by the memory of a kebab. Fair play. A Goalhanger Films Product...

Masie Adam is taking Leeds transatlantic. Big American sponsors, big American manager, and a Hollywood focussed recruitment policy. And yet - she never forgets her roots. Local businesses supported no matter how dodgy they seem. The local community given the chance to get involved in the design process. And an attempt to take ‘family friendly’ to the absolute extreme. Elland Road looks set to beco...

Podcast and comedy royalty Rob Beckett joins Rhys and Lloyd to take over an Arsenal side who are currently flying. Not saying Rob hadn’t listened to a full episode of the podcast before recording this, but he did hit all of the major points of the intro: Move the stadium, replace the manager, sack the mascot, mandatory dyed hair for players. Mix that with a new genre of ‘Shithousery Statues’, some...

Nottingham born comedian, writer & podcaster Sarah Keyworth joins the boys on the pod to tell us her plans as she takes over the Tricky Trees aka Nottingham Forest. Not only does she take over the club in the greatest way possible, it’s arguably the most pantomime based football club yet; men dressed as trees, women dressed as men dressed as trees, people in harnesses on match day, and a stadium c...

Tokyo born Ivo Graham abandons his roots (Swindon) in favour of his other roots (Eton) to take over Old Etonians FC with the aim of winning them their first FA Cup in over 100 years. The perfect posho stadium name and player arrival regime, anonymous donors, pre season ski trips and early recruitment of Alex Oxlade Chamberlain’s son. Isn’t it about time some Etonians were given a chance? Let’s get...

Comedian, actor and actual Brentford programme columnist, Nathan Caton, comes on the podcast and tells us his plans as new owner of Brentford which include a beautiful stadium name change, some sceptical cloning technology and quite frankly, do or die for away fans.

Comedian, Palace fan and Lloyd’s new best mate, Chloe Petts joins the boys to talk about how shrinking fans, hiring old school managers (but not as managers) and risking another global pandemic are all in her plans as she takes over her beloved Crystal (Palace) A Goalhanger Films Production Produced by Harry Lineker Exec Producer: Tony Pastor Hosted on Acast.

Comedian, singer and Lloyd’s main inspiration Charlie Baker taps into the booming DVD market to fund his Torquay takeover, turning the ‘English riviera’ into an ‘all inclusive’ which includes almost nothing, and introducing an on-kit messaging system to monitor players horniness levels.

Comedian, voice of Love Island & pub owner Iain Stirling joins Rhys & Lloyd to take his hometown team of Hibernian FC with a mix of mounds, YouTubers, water bottles and violence.

Comedians Rhys James and Lloyd Griffith invite a famous guest to take over a football club and rebuild it however they like, from changing the kit and the mascot, to insisting all the players have a moustache for no reason. They’ll also have to navigate some scenarios thrown up by the ‘supercomputer’, before it decides once and for all if they pass the fit-and-proper-person test. Here's a little t...
