Whistleblowers is football’s most original new podcast - lifting the lid on the parts of the game no one else talks about. Hosted by Gordon Smart, with ex-elite referee Mark Clattenburg and veteran journalist Ian Ladyman, this isn’t another safe roundtable of punditry. It’s football told differently - with insight, authority, and plenty of laughs. From what really goes on in the referee’s room, to how clubs spin crises and who’s pulling the strings behind the scenes - Whistleblowers brings the inside stories only those at the heart of the game can tell. Players have had their say. Now, it’s time to hear from the people who actually know how football works.

This week on Whistleblowers, Gordon Smart, Ian Ladyman, and Mark Clattenburg are joined by Daily Mail’s Lewis Steele to pick apart Liverpool’s worst run in a decade. What’s happened to Mo Salah? Is Arne Slot already under pressure? And why does Virgil van Dijk suddenly look like a man out of answers?
Clattenburg breaks down a landmark refereeing moment as a Premier League ref defies VAR, sparking a heated debate about how much power the video officials really have. The lads also dig into set-piece chaos, Liverpool’s defensive frailty, and whether we’re seeing a full-blown return to Tony Pulis–style football across the league.
