Premier League clubs unanimously oppose biennial World Cups

Premier League clubs unanimously oppose biennial World Cups

Sports News
Sports Betting Odds - All 20 Premier League clubs have come out in opposition of FIFA's plans for biennial World Cups and extended international breaks. World football's governing body has been exploring the possibility of holding men's and women's World Cups every two years, with month-long international breaks in March and October to condense the qualifying process. The plans have been publicly fronted by former Arsenal manager Arsène Wenger, FIFA's chief of global football development. However, English top-flight clubs have met to discuss the so-called post-2024 International Match Calendar reforms and are unanimously opposed to the proposals. A statement from the Premier League read: "All 20 Premier League clubs have discussed the post-2024 International Match Calendar...
Barcelona reject chance to re-sign Dani Alves

Barcelona reject chance to re-sign Dani Alves

Sports News
Online Betting Sites - Barcelona have turned down the chance to reunite with veteran right-back Dani Alves, despite the Brazilian offering his services to the struggling club. The 38-year-old is eyeing a return to football in 2022 after leaving Sao Paulo in September, and he recently went public with his willingness to return to Barcelona if those in charge at Camp Nou felt there was a role for him. That prompted plenty of reports suggesting Barcelona were set to speak with Alves about a possible January move, but according to Marca, a reunion with the heavily decorated defender has already been ruled out. Despite current injury problems, Barcelona aren't looking to strengthen at right-back, where Sergino Dest and Sergi Roberto share the minutes, and they also do not want to ...
Steven Gerrard Aston Villa’s first choice to replace Dean Smith

Steven Gerrard Aston Villa’s first choice to replace Dean Smith

Sports News
Online Betting Sites - Rangers manager Steven Gerrard has emerged as Aston Villa's preferred candidate to succeed Dean Smith. Smith was relieved of his duties following Villa's loss at Southampton on Friday night - their fifth defeat in succession in the Premier League. That result leaves Villa just two points above the drop zone despite a large summer outlay on the likes of Emi Buendia, Leon Bailey and Danny Ings - although that was only after talisman Jack Grealish departed for Manchester City in a British-record £100m transfer. Smith and Villa began the campaign well, securing wins over Everton and Manchester United, but their form dropped off dramatically and the reverse at St. Mary's was the final straw. The club's CEO Christian Purslow is leading the search along with s...

Paul Pogba ignored Ole Gunnar Solskjaer after red card

Paul Pogba ignored Ole Gunnar Solskjaer after red card

Sports News
Sports Betting Odds - Paul Pogba ignored Ole Gunnar Solskjaer at the final whistle of Manchester United's humiliating 5-0 defeat to Liverpool on Sunday after the Norwegian benched the superstar for the clash. The 28-year-old was a surprise omission from the starting lineup but endured a miserable second half cameo. He was at fault for the Reds' fifth goal of the afternoon and then saw red for a nasty challenge on Naby Keita, bringing an end to his 15-minute spell on the Old Trafford turf. The Sun reports that Pogba apologised to his teammates for leaving them a man light against their bitter rivals, but he refused to speak to Solskjaer. Pogba has since rejected the story, declaring it 'Big lies to make headlines'. Big lies to make headlines pic.twitter.com/VBQiBxSuNO— Pau...

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer facing dressing room unrest at Man Utd

Sports News
Sports Betting Sites - A number of Manchester United players are growing more and more frustrated with life under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. The Norwegian finds himself under immense pressure after a week which featured a 4-2 defeat to Leicester, a scrappy 3-2 win over Atalanta and a humiliating 5-0 mauling at the hands of Liverpool, with United now considering parting ways with their manager. On top of the poor results, Solskjaer is also dealing with some serious tension in the dressing room, with The Telegraph spilling the details of a number of bust-ups over the past few weeks. One of the most high-profile confrontations came from centre-back Eric Bailly in the wake on the Leicester defeat. The Ivorian outwardly questioned why Solskjaer had left him on the bench in place of an unf...

Mohamed Salah wants to stay at Liverpool for remainder of career

Sports News
Oline Betting Sites - Mohamed Salah has revealed he would like to stay at Liverpool for the remainder of his career, but says the decision is ultimately out of his hands. The 29-year-old's current contract expires in 2023, and sees Salah take home around £200,000-per-week in wages - making him one of the highest paid players at the club. Mysports99 understands that talks are ongoing between Liverpool and Salah's representatives over a new and extended deal, with the Reds looking to add their star man to a growing list of players who have signed new contracts. Virgil van Dijk, Andy Robertson, Trent Alexander-Arnold and captain Jordan Henderson have already signed on the dotted line, and Salah has now revealed in an exclusive interview with Sky Sports that he can't see himself pla...

Sports News
Online Betting Malaysia - Pep Guardiola has no intention of rushing teenager Cole Palmer following his outstanding cameo in Manchester City’s Champions League thumping of Club Brugge. The highly-rated 19-year-old came off the bench and scored a brilliant goal as the Premier League champions eased to a 5-1 win over Club Brugge in their Group A clash at the Jan Breydel Stadium. It capped an impressive few days for the youngster, who briefly appeared against Burnley in the Premier League on Saturday before scoring a hat-trick for the club's U21 side later that same day. There will undoubtedly now be calls to see more of the Wythenshawe-born youngster but, as with Phil Foden before him, Guardiola will not be rushed, easing him into the action gradually. "Cole has a special quali...
Why Barcelona will not pursue Man Utd midfielder Paul Pogba

Why Barcelona will not pursue Man Utd midfielder Paul Pogba

Sports News
Online Betting Sites - Barcelona are not expected to pursue Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba, even if the Frenchman is to be available as a free agent at the end of the season. Pogba has entered the final year of his contract at Old Trafford and is eligible to formally negotiate potential deals with overseas clubs as soon as 1 January. Pogba has long been in no rush to secure his future. The Premier League club have been conflicted over Pogba’s future, with some figures from within questioning whether he is worth retaining on a fresh contract expected to reach £400,000 per week. Equally, however, losing him on a free transfer is not an ideal situation. Barcelona, Real Madrid, PSG and Juventus have all been linked with the 28-year-old at various points in recent years....
