With money dictating the beautiful game more than ever, football ownership and potential takeover bids are constantly talk of the town. While some can prove fruitful - think Sheikh Mansour at Manchester City - others can prove disastrous. Wigan have just watched their club be relegated to League One in gruelling fashion, as an investigation into their recent takeover and subsequent immediate falling into administration continues. Wigan's administrators have said talks with their preferred...

Liverpool defender Dejan Lovren is nearing a move to Russian giants Zenit St. Petersburg, which would end a six-year stay on Merseyside. Lovren - who famously called himself 'one of the best defenders in the world' following Croatia's run to the 2018 World Cup final - has largely been surplus to requirements at Anfield this season, making just 15 appearances in all competitions. Lovren has had to settle for a bit-part role at Liverpool this season With just a year remaining on his current...

Manchester United have reignited their search for a director of football to work alongside manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer after plans to do so had previously been shelved. United have explored various options over the past two years, from a traditional director of football or technical director to a transfer committee made up of ex-players like Rio Ferdinand and Darren Fletcher. But the saga has been on and off to an almost embarrassing extent. United were initially thought to have ended their...

It was hardly smooth sailing, but West Brom are back in the Premier League. Everyone's favourite yo-yo club, or a 'Fahrstuhlmannschaft' as the Germans like to put it, are up into the top tier with a new look side and a fresh sense of optimism. Maybe not with heaps of optimism, mind. Having led the Championship for large spells of the season, their worrying form towards the latter end of the campaign indicates that improvements must be made. Winning just three of their final 11 matches and none...

It doesn't really look as if Liverpool are going to be doing much on the transfer front this summer. Having just won the league with seven games to spare, can you really blame them? As Premier League rivals look to spend big to bridge the absolutely enormous gap between themselves and the Reds, it seems the Anfield decision-makers and Jurgen Klopp are in agreement that the current group are good for another tilt at the title. Jurgen Klopp declares himself ‘100%’ happy with his squad and casts...

News Tottenham head to Selhurst Park on Sunday to face Crystal Palace, knowing victory could help them seal qualification for the Europa League. Spurs, currently seventh in the Premier League, need to overhaul a one-point difference between themselves and Wolves - who face Chelsea at Stamford Bridge - to reach Europe. Palace's wretched run of form has seen them drop out of the top ten and into 14th, though the Eagles could rise a place if they beat Tottenham and Newcastle lose to Liverpool....

You might not have noticed, but all aspects of Chelsea's defence this season have been...less than ideal. We all know about the struggles of goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga, but it's important to remember that his defence in front of him have been about as useful as a chocolate teapot. From right to left, very few members of the Blues' back line will emerge from this season feeling good. It's been a shambles. There has been very little aerial presence and minimal organisation, and there's even a...

Manchester United have identified Bayern Munich winger Kingsley Coman as a potential transfer target, and have already held talks with the Frenchman's representatives. The Red Devils are primarily focused on landing Borussia Dortmund's Jadon Sancho this summer, but the size of any deal has made things more than a little complicated. Dortmund want in excess of £100m but United are eager to avoid surpassing the club-record £89m spent on Paul Pogba. United are still focused on landing Sancho...

Despite missing out on automatic promotion by a narrow margin, Brentford can hold their heads high as they enter the 2019/20 Championship playoffs in search for a spot in next season's Premier League. It's been an incredible campaign for the Bees and, while the entire squad deserves applause, Said Benrahma is the name on everybody's lips. Benrahma has been one of the Championship's best players this season Benrahma has been a human highlight reel since joining Brentford in 2018. His sublime...

Southampton are understood to be keen on reuniting with former captain Adam Lallana, who is now out of contract at Liverpool. The Saints are looking for midfield reinforcements capable of filling the boots of former Bayern Munich star Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, who looks set to complete a £25m move to Everton this summer. Lallana's game time has been limited in Liverpool's title-winning season 32-year-old Lallana has just lifted the Premier League title with Liverpool, but has been unable to nail...

Football hasn't quite been the same since June 2000. With Luis Figo's world record €62m move from Real Madrid to Barcelona, the fee alone had a seismic impact - as did the near civil-war he instigated between the El Clasico giants - as Barça fans spat fire every time a Figo-led Real entered the pitch at Camp Nou. More significant than all of that, however, was what it represented. The contentious, maniacal signing was the perfect pace-setter for Florentino Perez's first reign of madness, and...

News Relegation-threatened Bournemouth must win their final game at Everton on Sunday afternoon to have any shot of escaping the drop down to the Championship. The Cherries currently lie in 19th place and will need to rack up a big win at Goodison Park, while also hoping that both Watford and Aston Villa lose, so that they can overtake both sides on goal difference and ensure themselves a sixth straight season in the Premier League. Bournemouth will be reliant on their attack to score on Sunday...

Brendan Rodgers won plaudits on Merseyside for guiding Liverpool to within touching distance of the Premier League title in the 2013/14 season, but while his departure would eventually be met with criticism, it could have very easily been a case of him being banned from the city for life. The reason for that, of course, is because he tried to replace Jordan Henderson with Clint Dempsey. It's an almost unfathomable twist in that very true story that six years on, Jordan Henderson is now a...

The Premier League have announced that the 2020/21 season will kick off on 12 September, with plans to wrap up slightly later than normal at the end of May. The 2019/20 season concludes this Sunday, substantially later than planned due to the disruption caused by the coronavirus pandemic. It had been unclear until now what sort of knock-on effect the late running of the season would have on further campaigns, even with the Euros postponed until 2021 to allow clubs to use the summer to conclude...
