Sensible of #MUFC powerbrokers to signal support for Ten Hag, however frustrated they are. Dampens damaging speculation about his future (for now) especially during international break vacuum. But ETH needs players fit and his team to show some identity, cohesion and a plan asap.

The PSR rules “are, in relevant parts, far from well drafted” according to independent panel that allowed #LCFC appeal. Pretty damning that. Leicester off on a technicality. Clubs’ lawyers are going to be going through PSR looking for more loopholes.

Damning report released on the “madness” of the football calendar and “excessive” player workload. The vibrant start made by Haaland and Salah to the new season highlights the importance of proper rest in a crowded calendar, say Professional Footballers' Association and FIFPRO. Haaland, 7 goals in 3 PL games,

Crazy to think that 10 players Lee Carsley will use on the road to 2026 World Cup could be involved in the ill-timed Club World Cup June 15-July 13, 2025. They need a proper summer's break to be fresh for 2026. City, Chelsea, Real, Atletico and Bayern all qualified for CWC.
