It was billed as one of the biggest days in the modern history of Manchester United. Instead, today’s board meeting could end up just being another day at the office. Sir Jim Ratcliffe is keen on investing in the club he supported as a child, though the suggestion is that it could still be a number of weeks before the club is close to any official agreement. Thursday’s board meeting has been penciled into the diary for a long time, and there is no guarantee the agenda will be ripped apart at the last minute to vote on Ratcliffe’s proposed…

The INEOS chief isn’t fully taking over quitee just yet, however is on the verge of landing a 25 percent stake at Old Trafford for a whopping £1.4billion. The deal will give him control of footballing operations, which has sparked some debate regarding who has the final say – Ratcliffe or manager Erik ten Hag. The Red Devils board had been due to meet on Thursday to ratify the deal, while Ratcliffe is already pressing on with plans regarding transfers and drawing up a five-man shortlist of United’s next sporting…

After a two-week international break that saw several countries secure their places at Euro 2024, the Premier League is finally back. With eight games of the season already gone, Tottenham have been the surprise early season pacesetters at the top, while the newly-promoted teams and Bournemouth look set to struggle at the bottom. The next few months will see the table start to take shape and it feels as if the upcoming four weeks of action until the November international break will provide a good basis as to who is likely to be fighting for glory and which teams are in for…
Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Yves Bissouma has made a claim about Arsenal after the North London Derby earlier this season. Bissouma has been speaking to Colinterview – Oh My Goal and claimed Spurs’ players knew exactly how Arsenal were going to approach the derby. Tottenham picked up a deserved point at the Emirates Stadium last month thanks to a Son Heung-min brace. Arsenal came flying out the blocks on the day and had Tottenham on the ropes before taking a 1-0 lead through a Cristian Romero own goal. But after Gabriel Jesus wasted a golden opportunity to go 2-0 up, Spurs grew into the…
Tottenham Hotspur could move to sign a “game-changer” if out-of-favour midfielder Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg departs in the January transfer window. The biggest casualty of Spurs’ blistering start to the new Premier League season has been, without question, Antonio Conte’s former midfield favourite. Hojbjerg, once a mainstay and lynchpin of Conte’s midfield at Tottenham, now finds himself on the periphery of Ange Postecoglou’s starting eleven – watching on from the sidelines as his side enjoy an imperious run of form without him. Hojbjerg has started precisely zero games under Postecoglou this season, making all of his appearances from the substitute’s bench as…
An ESPN pundit has praised the impact of one Tottenham star who’s been called “underrated”, making a comparison with the praise heading James Maddison’s way. How good is James Maddison?It’s fairly safe to say that Maddison, after joining from Leicester City for around £40 million, has been one of the signings of the summer transfer window. His two goals and five assists already are only matched by his overall Premier League performances in a Lilywhites jersey, with the Englishman being a big part as to why Spurs are currently top of the table. Ange Postecoglou must be delighted by Maddison’s capture,…
Tottenham Hotspur could be set to cash in on an experienced player who is struggling for form in January, with a fresh report revealing that he’s emerged as a top target for an admirer overseas. Who is leaving Spurs? Over the summer, Harry Kane, Harry Winks, Davinson Sanchez and Lucas Moura all departed the club on a permanent basis, whilst Djed Spence, Tanguy Ndombele, Sergio Reguilon, Joe Rodon and Japhet Tanganga were sent out on loan for the remainder of the season. The Lilywhites exits might not stop there with Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg attracting interest from Juventus ahead of the new year, not to…
Tottenham Hotspur have approached one club over signing their “little superstar”, and there is a real belief that he’s a “special” player. Spurs form under Postecoglou Ange Postecoglou’s high-flying Lilywhites are taking everybody off guard with their sumptuous displays so far this season, and few could’ve envisaged their best start to a campaign since 1960/1961. Spurs are currently top of the Premier League pile after an unbeaten run of six wins from a possible eight, sealing all-important wins against the likes of Arsenal and Liverpool in that time. This has all been achieved without star striker and all-time top goalscorer Harry…
The Reds appointed Schmadtke back in May, replacing the outgoing Julian Ward ahead of what was a pivotal summer for the club in the transfer window. Schmadtke signed a one-year deal that could be revisited after three months, and while he is still in his post, reports emerged over Liverpool “looking into” former Leipzig sporting director Eberl. And now the reputable Florian Plettenberg, of Sky Germany, has stated there are no “concrete talks or negotiations” between the two parties “at the moment” as the 50-year-old “wants” to join Bayern. Eberl is a product of the Bavarians’ academy and has long been expected…
