The decision of the Court of Arbitration for Sports to overturn Manchester City’s two-year ban from the Champions League has divided opinions. The Etihad Stadium outfit were initially banned from Europe for allegedly breaching Financial Fair Play rules, but they have since been declared innocent. Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher isn’t a fan of FFP and he reckons it is hindering traditional big clubs such as Everton from investing heavily in the transfer market. Clubs aren’t allowed to spend more than they earn so as to prevent them from potentially going bankrupt, but that has only allowed the rich sides to invest heavily. Carragher believes the FFP is preventing the Goodison Park outfit and co. from having a squad capable of winning silverware and challenging the heavyweights. FFP!Do...

Everton winger Yannick Bolasie has claimed that West Ham’s former ground – Upton Park -is the best stadium he has played at. During a Q/A session with the fans on Twitter, Bolasie answered this question. While many Crystal Palace fans felt Bolasie would say, Selhurst Park, the answer brought out a lot of reactions from the Hammers fans. Upton Park was indeed the spiritual home for the Hammers and it used to generate a great atmosphere. However, West Ham have now shifted to the London Stadium since 2016. The new stadium generates a better revenue due to more seating capacity. Plus, it is a multi-purpose outdoor stadium as well. However, many West Ham fans connect the soul of the club with the Boleyn Ground. Now you’ve upset me, Yannick😭 — Callum (@WHUFCallum_) July 10, 2020 @da...
