Manchester City Faces Premier League Sanctions Over Kick-Off Timing Breaches.

Manchester City, the dominant force in English football for over a decade, finds itself once again under the Premier League's microscope. This time, however, the allegations are not about intricate financial dealings or sponsorship controversies, but something seemingly more mundane: breaches of kick-off timing regulations. Recent reports confirm that City has been hit with a substantial fine of £1.08 million for delaying kick-offs and re-starts on nine separate occasions during the 2024/25 season. While a million-pound fine might seem like a drop in the ocean for a club of City's financial might, these sanctions underscore a deeper tension within the Premier League – a battle between sporting integrity, commercial interests, and the relentless demands of a global broadcasting behemoth. This isn't merely a trivial matter of punctuality. It speaks to the meticulous choreography of modern football, where every second is accounted for, and every deviation from the schedule has...

How much Al-Ahli is willing to offer Napoli for Osimhen.

Victor Osimhen is becoming more likely to accept a recent €160 million contract offer from Saudi Pro League club Al-Ahli, which still needs to negotiate an appropriate compensation with Napoli.

Al-Ahli prepares an Osimhen bid for Napoli.


According to Thursday evening developments, Al-Ahli is ready to offer Napoli a set fee of €68 million, according to transfer specialist Ben Jacobs.

This is much lower, about 50% less than the €130 million release clause included into Osimhen's contract when he renegotiated his term with Napoli last year.

Al-Ahli, who dispatched representatives to Italy this week with the goal of finalizing a deal, is likewise aiming to reach an agreement sooner rather than later. The Serie A transfer market closes later this week, but the Saudi window remains open until October 6.

Chelsea has also expressed interest in Osimhen in the past week. Enzo Maresca's team was willing to offer the Nigerian about €10 million each season in salaries, which is roughly the same as his present salary with Napoli.

Thierry Henry was denied a joyful homecoming as France was defeated by gold medal winners Spain.

Exactly 36 years after Vinnie Jones, Dave Beasant, Lawrie Sanchez, and others ripped up the rulebook to propel Bobby Gould's Wimbledon to a storied FA Cup victory, Thierry Henry's France fell agonisingly short of capturing an emotional Olympic gold medal in front of a sold-out Parc des Princes in Paris. Henry, who gave his young French team the nickname the 'Crazy Ones' due to their fun-loving nature, won nearly everything as a player, and despite the stars appearing to align for a historic gold medal on home turf, the Arsenal legend was overshadowed by Santi Denia's slick Spaniards in a dramatic 5-3 extra-time defeat. Sergio Camello of Rayo Vallecano was their unexpected late nemesis, dunking French goalkeeper Guillaume Restes with 100 minutes on the clock to startle a stunned capacity crowd. And he delivered a virtual carbon copy of that finish with the game's final kick, charging in on goal as the French flung bodies forward to slot past Restes and cruelly ...
