*A Different Kind Of Unemployed He Is *Rain Of Cash Is Torrential In His Life José Mourinho is, without question, one of the most decorated managers in world football. The Portuguese coach boasts an illustrious résumé that includes stints at Real Madrid, Chelsea, Manchester United, and most recently Fenerbahçe, from which he was abruptly dismissed earlier this week. It is hardly a new situation for Mourinho, who has experienced similar exits at his previous clubs. Yet, as the saying goes, every cloud has a silver lining — and in his case, each departure has significantly boosted his bank account. His…

Chelsea Shedding Palmer Dependency Calling Chelsea “Cole Palmer FC” is not much of an insult. Oh no, you have one of the best attackers in the world. Oh no, you got him for a bargain price. Oh no, he won you the Club World Cup last month. Still, no side ever wants to be completely reliant on one player. Chelsea aim to depend more on the collective than the individual. They have struggled without Palmer in the past but thrived in his absence against West Ham last week. Palmer withdrew with a groin injury during the warm-up and is a…

*Knock Them Out Of Carabao Cup By Jamie Jackson & Simon Burnton Manchester United suffered a humiliating Carabao Cup exit tonight as they were beaten in a marathon penalty shootout by League Two Grimsby at Blundell Park. What's more, Man Utd's over £200m (N412bn) frontline of Matheus Cunha, Bryan Mbeumo and Benjamin Sesko was on the pitch,though not introduced all at once from the off. It had appeared United had rescued themselves in the nick of time after finding themselves two goals down in a truly awful first-half display, with returning goalkeeper Andre Onana at fault for Grimsby's second.

By Andy Hunter & Jacob Steinberg There was vindication as well as a place in the Liverpool history books for Rio Ngumoha with the ice-cool finish he swept past Nick Pope at St James’ Park on Monday. The 16-year-old has announced himself on the English Premier League stage, as every one of his coaches predicted he would, though it is debatable his name would have registered so quickly without a bold decision taken a year ago. Ngumoha was considered one of the brightest English prospects in the Premier League academy system when he stunned Chelsea last summer by leaving for…
