British-Iranian businessman took the helm. After Koeman, Everton steadied the ship with the experienced Sam Allardyce but there was nothing Hollywood about his style of football and the demanding supporters craved another big name. Moshiri had his heart set on Portuguese coach Silva but there was little in the 42-year-old's record that suggested he was capable of pushing the club into the elite.
Their case was held on 8-10 June and the verdict is expected in July. Should City lose their appeal and finish in the top four, their Champions League spot goes to the fifth-placed team.

Serie A says it intends to deliver "a comprehensive and robust" anti-racism policy with new, stricter laws and regulations. Racism rot is deep' in Italian football - Fare"Images of players being racially abused in Italian football have been viewed and discussed all around the world this season and that shames us all," the letter added. No individual should ever be subjected to racist abuse - inside or outside of football - and we can no longer stay silent on this issue or wait for it to magically disappear.
As we all know, winning isn't everything. Virg. I am very proud to be in that bracket, to be in there for the way I performed with the team last year and also with the country," he said. It is just something to be proud of because not a lot of players go there and are up for these kind of things. There's going to be a winner but there are no losers.
Billionaire set for Chelsea bid Chelsea could be the subject of a multi-billion pound bid from American businessman Todd Boehly.

Asia has four direct spots in the finals and one inter-confederation playoff slot. China are eight points adrift of Syria having played one game fewer and next face the Maldives in late March in what will be Li's first competitive match in charge. The 42-year-old, however, is no stranger to the national team set-up.
Last week's 0-1 reverse against Getafe marked Eibar's fourth La Liga defeat in a row, so this is far from the ideal time for Los Armeros to travel to a side who boast one of the best home records in Spain.
We’re confident that Sporting will win and both teams will score on Sunday and we have predicted a final scoreline of 2-1. Sporting head into the game as the clear form favourites and boast an excellent head to head record against their guests. Moreirense have struggled for wins of late but have been scoring goals and we expect that trend to continue this weekend.
Like Derby, Millwall, after flirting with the top six in recent seasons, didn't get off to a great start under long-serving manager Neil Harris, but they've since turned things around after a managerial switch-up.
Former Liverpool defender Dominic Matteo says he has now fully recovered after treatment for a brain tumour. The 45-year-old former Scotland international had surgery in November. Writing on Twitter, Matteo said he has now been given the all-clear and thanked staff at Leeds General Infirmary and St James' Hospital. Yesterday I got the phone call, the one I’ve been praying for - my brain scan is clear,” he said.
Tottenham, in eighth and four points off fifth, and Arsenal, five points off with a game in hand, will also fancy their chances of pinching the position. The battle at the bottom One side-effect of the enforced lack of matches over the past two months is that teams in poor form have a chance to reset. Aston Villa, in particular, were on a desperately poor run, with four successive defeats seeing them drop to second from bottom and two points from safety - although they have a game in hand over their rivals.

The Belgium striker ended his Old Trafford stint last summer to force through a £73 million move to Serie A giants Inter Milan. Lukaku, who has proved a roaring success in Italy with 23 goals so far, says United’s manager was keen to keep him, but a poor season had already helped make up his mind. One bad year can happen to everybody, and I was done [at United],” Lukaku told Arsenal legend Ian Wright during an interview for his YouTube channel.

Wolves have conceded the first goal in 15 of their 22 Premier League matches this season, at least two more than any other side in the division in 2019-20. Each of Wolves' last 50 Premier League goals have been scored by non-English players (excluding own goals), only the sixth occasion of a side having 50+ consecutive non-English scorers in the competition, and the first since Stoke in December 2016 (59).
What happened last time?Rangers suffered their only defeat of Group G - and first European loss in 10 games - when they fell to an injury-time sucker punch in Switzerland. Gerrard's side led through Alfredo Morelos and were on track for a well-deserved point after Roger Assale's leveller. But a slip by captain James Tavernier was pounced upon by Christian Fassnacht, who slammed in a 93rd-minute winner to deprive the Scots of top spot on match-day two.
However, if Brighton continue to play with this level of positivity they are unlikely to be looking too nervously over their shoulders in the second half of the season. Wolves' unbeaten run continuesIt is already hard to believe that relegation looked a serious threat for Wolves this season but that was certainly the case after they failed to win any of their first six Premier League games and appeared to struggle with juggling domestic and Europa League commitments.
Having struggled against Leeds in the past, a trip to Elland Road may be daunting for Bristol. However, their good form on the road combined with Leeds choking under pressure could result in the end of that bogey run. There certainly isn't any value in backing the home side on their current path to self-destruction. Stick a double chance bet on Bristol.
You have to fit into a certain way of playing when you go to England. We would not have a manager brave enough to say 'I'm going to build my team around Matt Le Tissier' like the French did with Zinedine Zidane. Jay-Jay Okocha (midfielder) Jay Jay Okocha won an Olympic gold medal with Nigeria at the 1996 Atlanta GamesClubs: Bolton Wanderers (2002-2006), Hull City (2007-2008)Alan Shearer: "There isn't any denying how good he was.

Despite some good performances, the Brazilian defender is 35 and it seems his best days are behind him. Letting him go also frees up his huge salary, estimated at 17m euros a year. Marquinhos is ready to succeed him and PSG are reportedly hard at work trying to find him a new defensive partner. WHO IS INTERESTED? A return to AC Milan has long been mooted with Silva never hiding his affection for the Italian club.
On a more positive note, The Addicks were successful when last at this venue, while they avoided defeat prior to that too. However, their overall efforts at home this term haven't been great. Charlton have only won five out of 13 at The Valley, where they've conceded only two less than they've scored.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer perennially appears to be under pressure, does just enough to alleviate it before another bad run piles it back on. Tottenham came into this season with their alarming domestic collapse at the tail end of last season largely masked by their fantastic Champions League final run and even worse losses of form from Arsenal and Manchester United.
Of course, the visitors should benefit from their impressive record against the Rs. QPR have lost their last six league matches against Preston, a run stretching back to August 2016. That streak includes victories in their last three away league visits to QPR. Meanwhile, as Preston manager, Alex Neil has won more Championship games against QPR than any other side (four). Given that form and considering QPR’s defensive troubles, we’re going with a 1-0 away win here.
Viktoria Plzen is still in title race and surely I expect from them to get the easy win versus one of the worst teams in the league,Zlin on the road has 1-4-8 record but Plzen at home has 11-1-2 with 35 scored goals which is great offense so I think it is very realistic to expect at least 3 or even maybe 4 goals from Plzen tonight and on the other side Zlin offense on the road is very bad with just 9 scored goals so I think 2-0 or 3-0 or even 4-0 is going to be correct outcome of this one
I thought: 'I don’t have time for this. Harsh. And pretty judgemental!Klopp is, at least, big enough to admit that he made a mistake: "I'd say I have a pretty good feeling for people, but I was wrong!"As an aside, it's quite a pleasing novelty to hear Klopp speaking in his native German throughout this film. Home crowds are sometimes the toughest crowds As shown in the documentary, some of Mane's harshest critics are fans of the national team"Sadio Mane is only good at his club and not in Senegal.
Euro 2020 postponed until 2021Mini-tournament could decide Champions League and Europa League The English Football League board are due to meet on Wednesday to discuss the way forward, while Premier League clubs will hold a conference on Thursday.

Paris St-Germain moved 15 points clear at the top of Ligue 1 with a narrow win at Nantes. Mauro Icardi and Thilo Kehrer scored for PSG - who were without Neymar - before Moses Simon pulled a goal back. The build-up to the game had been dominated by Neymar's birthday party on Sunday and coach Thomas Tuchel's relationship with Kylian Mbappe. However, the French champions have now won 10 of their last 11 league games since losing at Dijon on 1 November.
Tottenham travel to Aston Villa on Sunday in the Premier League, host RB Leipzig on Wednesday in the first leg of their Champions League last 16 tie, then visit Chelsea next Saturday. With Leipzig playing in the Bundesliga on Saturday, they will have 24 hours longer to prepare than Tottenham.

I didn't get another job for nine years. Until we admit it, nothing will change'Barnes believes football is no different from society in general and his view is that the first step to resolving the problem is to admit it exists. Where do you see black leaders in mainstream institutions?" he said. The first thing is to own it. People will agree with you [on bias] but say it's 'not at our club'. People think that racists are people who throw bananas on the field and hurl abuse, and if we don't do it, we're not racist.
At the other end, that same pattern has been repeating itself, and while Wolves don't score many, they routinely register in the majority of their games. Wanderers rattled the net in each of their last 17 outings in all competitions, though they scored just 1.52 goals per 90 minutes on average.
Lewis Hamilton (R) of Britain talks with McLaren team-mate Fernando Alonso in 2007 (Reuters)Reuters Hamilton and Alonso lasted just one season as team-mates in 2007, before Alonso cut his contract short and departed following a bust-up with McLaren’s management over the ‘Spygate’ affair.

Juventus have the advantage here as they play at home, while leading 2-1 in the tie. They have seven straight home wins and face a side that has just two wins in nine away games in this competition. Inter will go all out trying to overturn this tie but with Juve’s attack, they may be stung. A win for Juventus is a good pick here.
Lopez is living in a house in Ottawa with Mista and other coaching staff, having cut short the team's pre-season training camp to catch one of the last flights back to Canada. Mista, the former Atletico Madrid and Valencia forward, had only thee days to work with his players in Spain before they had to rush back because the border was closing. The 41-year-old was introduced to a squad that was compiled through Atletico's extensive scouting network and an initiative set up by the league, in partnership with analytics company 21st Club, that helps create a worldwide database of young players.

Slavia have been in excellent form so far this season. They have reached the semifinals of the cup and last week they won the first leg against BATE Borisov at home with 1-0. Including the friendlies and the last matches of last season, Slavia has a 10-1-1 record in the last 12 matches at home.
usti nad Labem will against Brno in match Czech Republic 2 liga. My prediction this match could be the end score is under 3 goals due to usti nad Labem on last match in club friendlies only can make score is 1 goal. meanwhile, Brno on last 3 match in club friendlies that Brno only can make score is 1 goal. Therefore, I think this match will the end score is under 3 goals due to both teams have small score in club friendlies. Moreover both teams have the same strength and surely this match have more chance is small score.
As if to emphasise the point, Southampton's goal was essentially a counter-attack after a West Ham raid had broken down. James Ward-Prowse was afforded too much time to cross and Obafemi swept home. It was only the Dubliners' second Premier League goal but the manner of the finish, lifted over a despairing Fabianski, suggests there will be a few more before the campaign reaches its conclusion. Ings was introduced midway through the second-half in the hope of sparking a comeback but failed to threaten.
So just how good can he be? 'A nightmare for defenders' - the view from inside Man Utd Solskjaer certainly knows a thing or two about what it takes to be a goalscorerSome eyebrows were raised when Ole Gunnar Solskjaer sanctioned the departures of Alexis Sanchez and Romelu Lukaku in the summer and, rather than bringing in a big-money replacement, he instead put his faith in Greenwood. But that decision now appears to be vindicated, with Greenwood having already scored more goals than Sanchez did during his time at Old Trafford.
In the betting, 'Shrewsbury to Win' makes plenty of appeal at the current prices. The Shrews haven't been prolific in terms of wins overall, but they've looked good at home of late and have done so against better teams than Lincoln, beating Coventry, Peterborough and Sunderland in their last five at New Meadow. The fact that the hosts tend to give little away also bodes well. Lincoln, whose away-day woes aren't a secret, have registered just a single shot on target in each of their last three away games, which isn't positive for them ahead of a game against a host that has conceded only two shots on target in three of their last five at home.
