MNC: Everton's struggles, Rangnick announced at MUFC and Brighton booed - a podcast by BBC Radio 5 live

Mark Chapman presents the latest episode of the Monday Night Club from BBC Radio 5 Live. Regulars Micah Richards and Rory Smith are back along with former England international Karen Carney, who replaces the "suspended" Chris Sutton after he upset everybody - including a celebrity fan - at Stenhousemuir.

Everton's lacklustre results and the reasons behind them are discussed by the panel. Is it poor form, bad strategy or simply injuries to key players that's holding them back?

Following Ralf Rangnick's announcement as Manchester United interim manager, Micah wonders what the hype's all about while Rory says his appointment suggests a cultural shift in thinking in English football.

They also discuss what's up with the Brighton fans after some of them booed the team following their 0-0 draw at home to Leeds. Karen says the stats show they're better than the results they've been getting while Micah recalls a time he was booed by his own fans.
