Former Liverpool boss Matt Beard was sacked at the end of February. He needs to find a new job by the summer to support his family. Losing his job is seen as part of being a football manager. Beard reflects on the state of the game and financial competition. Other clubs need to find the right way to grow without losing the fan connection. Arsenal is seen as having a good model.

He has a pro licence and a business management degree and is considering various roles like technical or sporting director, or even high performance workshops or podcasts.
