This is the Season 123 of The Football Referee with dRem TGI (Emmy Hikins), and Trevor Gear on Deepstuff TV and Deepstuff Radio of Deepstuff records. All Episodes conducted by Legendary Singer-Songwriter and Musician Trevor Gear and TV and Radio presenter Emmy Hikins (dRem TGI) and also a Singer-Songwriter and a music producer of Deepstuff records LTD, In This Season Of The Football Referee Podcast we discuss: Manchester United Coaching Discussion Emmy and Trevor discussed Manchester United's potential new coach, with Antonio Conte being a leading candidate following Michael Carrick's departure. They also talked about Manchester City allegedly violating Premier League rules by preventing Enzo Maresca from giving radio interviews, though Trevor explained this was likely to protect Maresca rather than break rules. The conversation concluded with a discussion about Erling Haaland's record of scoring 60 goals in 60 games for Manchester City, faster than any other player including Messi, Lewandowski, and Mbappe. Ronaldo Fine Discussion Emmy and Trevor discussed Ronaldo's fine for abruptly leaving the Portuguese national team camp, with Trevor noting that while the fine was nominal at 259 euros, it was necessary to maintain integrity in the system. They explored the idea of fining players proportionately based on their wealth rather than a fixed amount, with Emmy suggesting this would be more appropriate given players' high earnings. The conversation also touched on how player behavior should be sanctioned regardless of their status.

Premier League Season Analysis Trevor and Emmy discussed the current Premier League season, with Trevor noting that Arsenal appears less dominant than last year despite winning their first six games. They analyzed Manchester City's strong start under their new manager, with Trevor suggesting the pressure of potential sanctions might actually benefit City by allowing them to play freely without worrying about maintaining a points advantage. The conversation also touched on Arsenal's goalkeeper Raya expressing interest in playing in La Liga, which Trevor viewed as potentially indicating unrest, though Emmy saw it as normal player ambition. French Managers in Football Leagues Emmy and Trevor discussed Tottenham's first victory under new manager De Zerbi, which Trevor believed would help them break out of their winning rut and potentially avoid relegation.
