Series 1, Episode 6 - Abide With Me
With no sign of Karine for two months - or a point for even longer - the troubled coach reaches an all-time low. He faces disciplinary action after attacking a fan and a glimpse at the club's lowly league position almost causes the chairman to keel over. But Mike is inspired by a shocking revelation about his father and sets out to win the final game, save the club and get his wife back for good.
