Jose Mourinho ‘set to land another Premier League job’
Jorge Mendes is to help Jose Mourinho secure his next job in the Premier League, with Wolves being mentioned as a possibility by Don Balon. After his sacking by Tottenham, you get the impression that Mourinho has exhausted all of his options at the top end of the Premier League table. His past affiliation with Chelsea and Spurs rule him out of the running for the Arsenal job, while any ex-Manchester United manager is not going to be replacing Pep Guardiola at Manchester City. If The Special One is to remain in England, compromises may have to be made. As per Don Balon, a drop down to mid-table could be on the cards for the Portuguese. Don Balon report that, with doubts emerging over the future of Nuno Espirito Santo at Molineux, Mourinho could take the Wolves job ahead of next season. It’s...
English FA ‘exploring all options’ to prevent Super League repeat
English football is set for a fan-led review, under the direction of former sports minister Tracey Crouch, following the fall-out from the widely criticised breakaway plans. Twelve of Europe’s leading clubs — including the Premier League’s “big six” — announced late Sunday they had signed up to compete in the Super League. But the plans dramatically unravelled two days later as clubs withdrew following an outpouring of outrage from fans, governing bodies, players and politicians. Liverpool, Manchester United, Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester City and Tottenham all swiftly confirmed they would not be moving ahead with the proposals, which would have seen founder members exempt from relegation. Bullingham is determined there must be no repeat of the chain of events, which caused an uproar throug...
Ryan Mason provides worrying update on Harry Kane’s fitness ahead of Man City game
Interim Tottenham manager Ryan Mason has revealed Harry Kane did not train with the team on Friday ahead of the Carabao Cup final. Kane suffered an ankle injury during the 2-2 draw with Everton last week, limping off towards the end of the game. While Tottenham fans feared the worst, Kane did not leave the game on crutches, suggesting the injury may not be serious. Despite that, the Englishman has been in a race against time to be fit for this weekend’s Carabao Cup final clash with Manchester City. The stand-in Spurs boss admitted earlier in the week that there is still a chance Kane could feature. However, Mason admitted on Friday that the forward had missed training. “We’re not sure yet – he didn’t train with the team today, but we’ll know more tomorrow,” Mason explained, as quoted ...
‘Utter stupidity’ – Some of the Villa fans are unhappy with 23-yr-old’s display last night
Aston Villa continued their horrendous run of form in the Premier League with a 2-1 defeat to Manchester City last night. Dean Smith’s side managed to take an early lead through John McGinn but the League leaders put on an impressive come back to secure all three points eventually. Villa have now won just two of their last ten Premier League matches and Smith will be under tremendous pressure to turn his side’s form around. Villa looked quite vulnerable at the back last night and the fans will be disappointed with the performance of Matty Cash in particular. The 23-year-old full-back made quite a few wrong decisions and he put his teammates under continuous pressure. Cash was eventually sent off in the second half for a couple of reckless challenges. Manchester City midfielder Phil Fo...
Tammy Abraham to ‘make Chelsea transfer request’
Tammy Abraham is leaning towards seeking a move from Chelsea this summer. Abraham has been linked with a move away from Stamford Bridge, with Aston Villa among the clubs to be credited with an interest in his services. The striker had a prolific loan spell at Villa in the 2018/19 season, scoring 26 goals to help fire Smith’s side to promotion from the Championship, and remains well thought of in the Midlands. The Guardian says Abraham has left out of the squad altogether as Chelsea beat Manchester City at Wembley in Saturday’s FA Cup semifinal and the forward is now ‘considering seeking a fresh opportunity.

European Super League shelved as more clubs withdraw
The European Super League collapsed on Wednesday as eight of the 12 founding members from England, Italy and Spain abandoned the breakaway project. The project collapsed after it came under massive pressure from fans, politicians, football officials and even the British royals. Founder and Juventus chairman Andrea Agnelli told Reuters he was reluctantly calling time on the new league. This was after six English clubs withdrew on Tuesday, with Inter Milan and Atletico Madrid following suit and AC Milan indicating they would too. “The voices and the concerns of fans around the world have clearly been expressed about the Super League, and AC Milan must be sensitive to the voice of those who love this wonderful sport,” the Italian club said in a statement. Agnelli said he still believed in the...
What did each club say as all six Premier League teams withdraw from ESL
All six Premier League clubs have now withdrawn from the European Super League. Manchester City and Chelsea claimed yesterday that were preparing documentation to withdraw. The other four Premier League sides – Arsenal, Liverpool, Manchester United and Tottenham – have all now followed the same path. Uefa president Aleksander Ceferin welcomed the reversal. He said to BBC Sport: “They are back in the fold now and I know they have a lot to offer not just to our competitions but to the whole of the European game. “The important thing now is that we move on, rebuild the unity that the game enjoyed before this and move forward together.” UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson posted on Twitter: “I welcome last night’s announcement. This is the right result for football fans, ...
Predicted Aston Villa XI vs Man City: Smith to make one change, 25-yr-old to start
Aston Villa host Manchester City in the Premier League later tonight and they will be hoping to bounce back from their defeat against Liverpool last time out. Dean Smith’s side have failed to win five of their last six Premier League matches and they will be under pressure to win here. That said, Manchester City are an exceptional side and they will be firm favourites to secure all three points. Furthermore, Pep Guardiola will demand a strong reaction from his players after the 2-1 defeat against Leeds United in their last outing. The visitors have an excellent head to head record against Villa and they have managed to beat the West Midlands club in their last six meetings. The home side will be without the services of Trezeguet, Jack Grealish and Morgan Sanson due to injuries. Brazil...

New Spurs manager comments on Harry Kane’s availability against Man City on Sunday
Tottenham’s interim manager Ryan Mason has suggested that Harry Kane could still be fit for the Carabao Cup clash with Manchester City on Sunday. Kane went off injured in the clash with Everton last Friday, where the two sides played out a 2-2 draw. The manner of his injury worried Spurs and England fans alike, with the Carabao Cup fast approaching, as well as the European Championships. However, interim boss Ryan Mason has suggested that Kane could be fit for the clash with Manchester City on Sunday. ‘It’s one of those cases where we’re taking it day by day,’ Mason explained, as quoted by the Daily Mail. ‘He didn’t train today. We’re still not sure about the weekend yet but what we do know is that Harry is working extremely hard to get over this injury.’ SL View – Could Kane actuall...
‘It is not sport’: Pep Guardiola speaks out on Manchester City’s Super League inclusion
Premier League manager Pep Guardiola has broken his silence on Manchester City’s inclusion in the proposed European Super League. It was announced on Sunday that Manchester City would be one of the founding members of the European Super League, which has been met with plenty of resistance. Manchester City fans protested against the move on Monday, placing banners outside the Etihad. Now, Pep Guardiola has commented on the plans for his team to join the Super League. “It is not sport when the relation between effort and success, between effort and reward, doesn’t exist,” Guardiola explained, as quoted by the Manchester Evening News. “It is not a sport if success is guaranteed or if it doesn’t matter when you lose. I have said many times I want the best competition, as strong as possib...
