Ask OTC: Taking over Atléti, Atalanta's revamp and social media scouts

Atlético Madrid have confirmed the sale of a majority stake in the club. So with major investment expected in the squad and infrastructure, can Diego Simeone’s side mount a serious bid for their 12th La Liga title?

Dotun and Andy are joined by David Cartlidge to discuss that. Also on the agenda: why on earth did Ajax approach Marc Overmars to be their manager given his controversial departure? Will Atalanta build their way back after sacking Ivan Jurić? And why have Como employed a social media content creator as a scout?!
