In recent days, the Portuguese coach had publicly criticized the club’s board over the lack of reinforcements. The early Champions League exit against Benfica accelerated the decision announced today. “Our time with José Mourinho, who served…

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…

Bossing…

*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. Substitute…

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…

Man Utd Coach Amorim Struggling To See Off Also-rans Ruben Amorim has been a highly successful Manchester United manager against continental opposition and promoted Premier League clubs. He’s been respectable against the top teams in England, with a win at the Etihad, a draw at Anfield and a win on penalties against Arsenal. But he’s been hopeless when faced with opponents from mid-table. Last season, after taking over in November, Amorim supervised 14 league games against clubs that ended up between seventh and 17th. United won two, drew two and lost 10, scraping eight points out of a possible 42.…
