Episode 259 - Gary White & 2019 J2 Season Preview

We're back with our usual in-depth preview of the new J2 season, with an extra special twist, as new Tokyo Verdy manager Gary White leads things off by sharing his thoughts on the early days of his role in charge of The Greens (to 22:00).

Then Stuart Smith and Jon Steele bring the knowledge on the teams relegated from J1 last season, Kashiwa and Nagasaki (to 32:30), before we work our way through the teams who made the playoffs in 2018 (to 1:02:20), with a special cameo from Steve Barme on Omiya.

I then open the floor to the guys on teams they are looking out for this year, in order, Fukuoka, Kofu, Yamagata, Tokushima, Chiba, FC Gifu, Kyoto and Yamaguchi, before we finish with the two teams promoted from J3 last season - FC Ryukyu and Kagoshima United (to 1:33:15) - and Jon and Stuart share their predicted top sixes.
