FBI investigating whether Fifa president Sepp Blatter knew about $100m bribery scandal, says new report

December 6, 2015

Embattled world football chief Sepp Blatter’s grip on power faces a new threat after it was alleged that the FBI is investigating the Fifa president’s possible involvement in a $100m bribery scandal. Federal agents are probing illicit payments made by now-defunct sports marketing company ISL to officials, including Blatter’s predecessor Joao Havelange, according to the [...]
Kyle Edmund wins $250,000 and doubles his season’s prize money in the space of three hours

December 6, 2015

British youngster Kyle Edmund’s landmark week culminated in lucrative fashion on Saturday night when he more than doubled his 2015 earnings with victory at the inaugural Tie Break Tens event in London. The 20-year-old, part of Great Britain’s historic Davis Cup triumph in Belgium just six days earlier, beat team-mate Andy Murray in the final [...]
Gary Neville on Valencia move: “I’ve been on TV for a few years now; the time was right to stand up”

December 3, 2015

Valencia head coach Gary Neville accepted a surprise move to Spain because he felt ready to leave the comfort of the television studio for the crucible of the dugout, he said on Thursday.

Solid Stoke will be hard to break down for inconsistent Manchester City

December 3, 2015

Will Manchester City come to regret not taking charge of the Premier League title race in its formative stages? They sit top but the heights they’ve hit in their nine wins from 14 have been undermined by some shaky performances. Manuel Pellegrini’s men lost at home to West Ham, were torn apart by Tottenham, and [...]
Liverpool revival under Jurgen Klopp to continue at Newcastle’s expense

December 3, 2015

Few Newcastle fans will be rubbing their hands at the prospect of facing Liverpool on Sunday. Since their uplifting 6-2 defeat of Norwich six games ago, the Magpies have shipped 11 goals and scored just two. The five they conceded to Crystal Palace last time out were hardly a fillip either. Little wonder, then, that [...]
No Planning has the attributes needed for Becher stamina test

December 3, 2015

The build-up to the 2016 Grand National begins at Aintree on Saturday afternoon with the Becher Chase (1.40pm) run over the famous spruce-topped fences. Even though this race is over a mile and a quarter less than the National itself, it’s still set to be a stamina-sapping slog as the ground is already soft, with a [...]
Tingle Creek: Tiara can produce another sparkling display at Sandown

December 3, 2015

The Tingle Creek (3.00pm) was robbed of its star performer when Willie Mullins’ high class chaser Un De Sceaux was ruled out on Wednesday. It’s a real shame that he won’t line up, although, as he was 4/7, the race is a much more attractive betting proposition. He is now a best-priced 7/4 favourite for the [...]

Gary Neville at Valencia is not the first: British managers who have prospered – and flopped – in Spanish football

December 2, 2015

Pre-civil war trailblazers British managers have a long and rich tradition of success in Spanish football, not least in the pre-Civil War years. Two league and cup doubles with Athletic Bilbao were the highlight of Fred Pentland’s 15-year stint in Spain, while William Garbutt, hugely influential in Italy, also enjoyed success with the Basque club. [...]
