Former Chelsea managerial candidate
Eddie Howe literally hates sporting directors, he's forced them out repeatedly. He's a holdout English manager
Premier League NewsBy Craig Hope: Eddie Howe’s resignation marks the collapse of Newcastle’s project. Despite two UCL qualifications and ending a 70-year trophy drought, pitch success masked executive failure. It began in summer 2025: key targets rejected the club due to a lack of a Sporting Director and CEO.
Presumably he's talking about more than all the workers killed building stadia?
Olga NesterovaAs to infantino staying, insiders say his position is weak, but he is a fighter and know where “the bodies lie” as well.
Unsuspend the transfer ban please
sjohnsonsport#CFC are fined again for rule breaches under Abramovich era - it’s the FA’s turn re. The 74 charges after UEFA and PL already hit them with financial penalty.

FIFA's next briefing "stop forwarding our briefings to Martyn Ziegler"
Stanis ElsborgBreaking: Via @martynziegler.bsky.social Incredible. FIFA has reportedly circulated a briefing on expanding the World Cup to 64 teams, with a decision expected by August 14.

Fernandez was already a toxic character and I doubt this summer has improved that: - cost his country the world cup final - pissed of fans of the country he plays in - publicly snubbed by Madrid - dressing room clique broken up - new manager will show up his passing in training
Schmendrik LamarrPersonally, I really hope that Fernandez doesn’t come back to #Chelsea and we can sell him but if he is going to be with us next season, it will be really fascinating to see how seasoned pros like Henderson, Welbeck and Lacroix deal with his on and off field shenanigans
This time 20% of the world cup is being sold to Trump, presumably MBS will want 20% too?
Colin BurtThe moment World football died…
I can't help feeling that if we do see a splitting from FIFA, we'll end up with something like superleague where UEFA and CONMEBOL (and maybe CAF but their relationship with FIFA is complicated) can run their own intercontinental football competition.

I repeat, when has a "don't have to move house" free transfer ever worked? The last West London freebie we had was Tosin FFS
