City demand £7m loan fee for England midfielder West Ham looking for compromise on price West Ham are pushing to complete a loan deal for Manchester City’s Kalvin Phillips and are hopeful of signing the midfielder this week. David Moyes has long been an admirer of Phillips and there is growing confidence that an agreement will be reached to take the City outcast to the London Stadium. However an agreement has not been reached and the deal depends on City’s budging on their demands.

Delays and a lack of communication from the tax authority are holding back new businesses, a group says.

Travelling supporters vent their anger and frustration against owner Dai Yongge during League One defeat at Wigan “I’m Reading ‘til I die,” came the chant at kick-off from the away end, although many fear that the club will be the first to require a lengthy eulogy if Dai Yongge continues his ­lamentable ownership. The Royals are in crisis and 90 minutes of football at least brings some normality to the supporters from Berkshire who made the trek up to Wigan, even if the match ended in a 1-0 defeat. Wigan fans know the pain of poor ownership, starting the season with an eight-point deduction after previous owners Phoenix Ltd failed to pay wages on time on five separate occasions in a season that concluded with relegation from the Championship alongside Reading. The Latics were served with a winding up petition in June relating to an unpaid tax bill and placed under a transfer embargo but a takeover from local billionaire Mike Danson has put Wigan back on firm ground after paying off o...

The two Premier League clubs hoped that signing gifted young players from South America does not become a trend among their rivals For scouts from most Premier League clubs, the Under-17 World Cup at the end of last year was an opportunity to see some of the best young players on the planet in the flesh for the first time. But for a select few such as Brighton and Manchester City, who have been quick to take advantage of football’s increasingly global pool of emerging talent, the tournament in Indonesia was more about crossing fingers and hoping their secrets remained under wraps. “Whenever a player travels to an international tournament, their clubs understand that there will be a lot of foreign clubs watching them live and that always pushes up the interest,” says Matías Lipman, who works as an intermediary for South American players. “They give them a lot of visibility and the local clubs know it.” Continue reading... from Football | The Guardian https://www.theguardian.com/foo...

Hull climbed into the Championship playoff places as Fábio Carvalho’s second-half strike secured a 1-0 win over Sunderland at the Stadium of Light to earn their first victory this year. Carvalho struck with 19 minutes remaining to settle a dour game on Wearside, volleying the ball home from the edge of the area via a deflection off Trai Hume. Sunderland’s supporters jeered their head coach, Michael Beale, in the closing stages of the game, with the former Rangers and QPR manager having suffered three defeats in a row in all competitions. Beale restored the Ukrainian striker Nazariy Rusyn to Sunderland’s starting lineup, but the home side struggled to create chances against a well-organised Hull side.

Aston Villa’s match-winner, Rachel Daly, paid tribute to her team’s grit as they bounced back from their FA Cup disappointment to win at Leicester on their return to Women’s Super League action. The England striker’s 16th-minute goal secured a 1-0 win at the Pirelli Stadium, but Villa had the full-back Sarah Mayling to thank for a late goalline clearance on a night when the keeper Daphne van Domselaar also shone.

Atlético Madrid 4-2 Real Madrid after extra-time Griezmann pounces with sensational goal against city rivals There is a phrase in Spain: second parts were never any good . Sequels, they say, invariably fail to live up to the original, but this time it did. Like The Godfather Part II, the second episode of the Madrid Trilogy, that run of three derbies in three weeks and three different competitions, was even better than the first, however implausible that had appeared. When these great rivals met six days ago, there were eight goals, 120 minutes of fun finally won 5-3 by Real; now, on a wet night back in their home city where they’re supposed to be, there were another 120 minutes, far wilder than those, six goals, and revenge. This time, Atlético Madrid struck back. They were 1-0 and 2-1 up, through Samu Lino and Antoine Griezmann. Twice Atlético led and twice they found Real Madrid, the adversary that just refuses to die, coming back at them, all those fears and that trauma return...

Already hit with a 10-point deduction for breaking PSR rules the club did not hide their dismay at prospect of another fight According to the Premier League it is because they, and Nottingham Forest, “have each confirmed that they are in breach of the league’s profitability and sustainability rules (PSR). This is as a result of sustaining losses above the permitted thresholds for the assessment period ending season 2022-23.” Technically, the Premier League statement is correct but Everton would dispute they have confirmed any breach. Rather, they had no alternative but to submit accounts for the 2022-23 financial year in December that follow new Premier League guidelines.
