This week on The Custard Splat, we sit down with Southend United Director of Football Oliver Gage.

With a new era underway at Roots Hall, we go behind the scenes to understand what a Director of Football actually does, why Southend's football structure has changed and how key decisions are made at the club.

Oliver discusses his journey into football, the recruitment process, the appointment of Kieron Dyer as Head Coach and the long-term vision for Southend United both on and off the pitch.

If you've ever wondered how a modern football club operates behind the scenes, this is the episode for you.
