• Bruce sets sights on Premier League return for club • Manager says there is no budget for signings Steve Bruce is back where he started in management but on the opposite side of the city’s divide, claiming his formative years at Sheffield United were too long ago to affect his new job with Wednesday. “That was my first managerial job and this might be my last,” the former Sunderland and Birmingham manager said of his 10th club since retiring from playing. “Physically and emotionally I feel great. The club wanted me to start right away [a month ago, when the appointment was announced] but I explained the issues I had to the chairman and he understood.” Continue reading... from Football | The Guardian https://www.theguardian.com/football/2019/jan/31/steve-bruce-sheffield-wednesday-get-started

If not, within the club at least, in terms of the management. There are no first-team delegations primed with complaints and queuing up outside Marina Granovskaia’s office just yet. While it is never wise to pre-suppose Roman Abramovich’s mood, the hierarchy are less inclined these days to fire a manager who has barely had time to reinstate ketchup on the menu at the training ground canteen.

The 35-year-old, who joined the club in the summer, is accused of humiliating several players in the academy with his behaviour. Watford opened an internal investigation after the club’s safeguarding officers were alerted to the claims this week. Premier League officials have also visited training ground to make their own inquiries. According to reports Sarll asked whether he could carry on at the club in an office role, while the investigation into his conduct took place, but was refused.

• Paraguayan player joins for record fee in region of £21m • ‘It’s a great responsibility, something beautiful for me’ Miguel Almirón has become the most expensive signing of the Mike Ashley era at Newcastle United, with his £21m move from Atlanta United finally eclipsing the record £16.8m transfer fee the north east club paid Real Madrid for Michael Owen in August 2005. Ashley’s near 12 years as owner have been characterised by budget buys but, perhaps motivated by real fears that Rafael Benítez could be on the point of quitting as Newcastle’s manager, the retail tycoon belatedly sanctioned a long-mooted deal for the Paraguay playmaker.

Chelsea want to keep the forward despite his request to join Bayern, but why not let a talented player develop in Europe? Callum Hudson-Odoi’s decision to lodge a transfer request this week after Bayern Munich’s £35m bid is a sign of changing times and a growing trend for young players at big Premier League clubs. Hudson-Odoi is trying to follow the path that has taken a lot of young English players abroad in recent years thanks to the success of Jadon Sancho at Borussia Dortmund and club partnerships with European sister clubs. Three or four years ago it would have been rare for a young player at a top Premier League club to request a transfer to go to one of Europe’s biggest clubs. It’s interesting to see a young player at Chelsea now saying: “I want to go” – not just on loan, but abroad permanently.

Their lead from fifth place, which recently gaped at six points, has been whittled away, but the deficiencies in Chelsea’s game had always endangered that pursuit of the top four.

Because that moment may have reminded Manchester City that they could do with another holding midfielder sooner rather than later and thus intensified their interest in the Senegalese player. The good news for Everton is that interest could drive up Gueye’s price, prompting a bidding war between City and Paris Saint-Germain before Thursday’s deadline.

For Marco Silva’s stuttering side a fixture against the team propping up the table came along at the idea time. A new face in the dugout made little or no difference to Huddersfield’s fortunes on the pitch, they gifted Everton an early goal and were unable to take advantage when their visitors went down to 10 men for almost half an hour. To be kind to the relegation strugglers they were worth at least a point and might have had one but for some excellent second half goalkeeping by Jordan Pickford, particularly when keeping out a header from Elias Kachunga 10 minutes from time. To be kind to their visitors they managed to see the game out after Lucas Digne’s dismissal, but this win was far from the confidence booster it could have been. Though Richarlison added to his goal tally it was just about all he managed successfully all evening. Continue reading...
