The statement comes amid years of protests from fans against their ownership. A statement from the club said the board will “consider all strategic alternatives, including new investment into the club, a sale, or other transactions involving the company”. It added that the process “will include an assessment of several initiatives to strengthen the club, including stadium and infrastructure redevelopment, and expansion of the…

One Love armband surrender is seven national disgraces. FIFA must face a fight Football365 says Firstly, fuck FIFA. Fuck Gianni Infantino, and fuck this godforsaken World Cup. At least for those of us conflicted over whether we could enjoy watching tournament in good conscience, there was some solace to be taken from the fact that a reasonable number of the headline acts were prepared to take a stand against some of the issues that make this festival of fuck so conflicting. Granted, nine players sporting a piece of coloured elastic is hardly the Stonewall riots but the prospect offered at…
England star Harry Kane hits out at FIFA as he’s left ‘disappointed’ over rainbow armband Daily Express says Harry Kane has expressed his “disappointment” at FIFA after they effectively stopped him from wearing the One Love rainbow armband. The World Cup tournament authorities confirmed just hours before kick-off that they would book team captains if they wore the anti-discrimination symbol. “I said yesterday we wanted to wear it, that decision was taken out of my hands today,” Kane said. “I turned up to the stadium to find the armband that I wore and I was told I had to wear…

Jude Bellingham is a shining example of England’s emerging generation The Guardian says Jude Bellingham was only 14 when England began their last World Cup campaign but he was already planning for the future. “Even watching that I was only ever thinking: ‘How can I get into this team?’” the midfielder said last week. Four-and-a-half years on and the 19‑year‑old scored his first senior international goal on the biggest stage as Gareth Southgate’s side kicked off their 2022 World Cup campaign in style. The 6-2 thumping of Iran in which the 21-year-old Bukayo Saka scored two brilliant goals showed that…
Bukayo Saka and Marcus Rashford lay ghosts to rest in redemptive England win The Independent says As he stood on the touchline at the Khalifa International Stadium waiting to come on as a substitute, Marcus Rashford was preparing himself for his first kick of the ball in an England shirt in 489 days, since the penalty that he missed in the Euro 2020 final shoot-out defeat to Italy. Shortly after, when that first kick came, it controlled Harry Kane’s pass out to the right wing, bringing it into his orbit. Rashford’s second touch would take the ball back inside, wrong-footing…

Liverpool, Real Madrid, Chelsea, United and City are…
England destroy Iran in World Cup 2022 opener as Bukayo Saka shines The Daily Mirror says England kicked off their 2022 World Cup campaign with a 6-2 demolition of Iran. Gareth Southgate’s men arrived in Qatar without a win in six games and having struggled for form in 2022. But they took Carlos Queiroz’s side to pieces in Doha, with Arsenal whizkid Bukayo Saka and Borussia Dortmund’s Jude Bellingham the Iranians’ tormentors-in-chief. England had opened the 2018 World Cup by scoring six times as they put Panama to the sword, but they were better here, playing with panache, dominating possession…

BBC ignores World Cup opening ceremony in favour of Qatar criticism When the Qatari government decided to spend millions of pounds on a World Cup opening ceremony featuring Morgan Freeman, Jungkook from BTS and hundreds of performers, it probably hoped it would be the moment when the global media finally focused on football rather than human rights. What it probably did not expect was that the BBC would ignore the entire event in favour of a broadcast criticising the treatment of migrant workers, highlighting corruption at Fifa and discussing the ban on homosexuality in Qatar. And that was just in…
