There's plenty about them to criticise, they are restricted in what they can spend, but what they have spent is from selling off their future revenue, they need to fix their finances. On the pitch, Barcelona has had a great season in the league, and are deserved winners.

There is a lot more in the article, I just snipped the part of how Rob McElhenney became interested in Wrexham. Why did Rob McElhenney and Ryan Reynolds buy Wrexham? As the story goes, it is apparently due to British comedian and writer Humphrey Ker that the pair ended up buying a football club. He was a writer on Mythic Quest with McElhenney and he explained to the BBC how his lunch habits led McElhenney to show an interest in football. "I'm laying claim to the fact (Rob's) interest in football derives from several years of teasing me for watching football during our lunch breaks at work. Until eventually, just by pure osmosis, I got him interested in the game to the degree that he decides to buy a football team, Ker said. "Where with a lot of people the journey would have ended with he and I exchanging text messages and me saying 'Ha ha, sounds great, I'd always said I'd do that if I won the lottery, but then within a month's time we had Ryan on board, we had found a football brokerage team in New York and we were in the process of trying to find a football club," he said. Ker is now the executive director and is able to run things while the owners are over in the states. He also explained how there was a desire to find a genuine football team that needed the financial help that the trio could lend. "It wasn't about glamour, it wasn't about commercial viability," Ker says. "And it wasn't the bright lights of, 'Oh, let's buy a team in Cannes, or Saint Tropez United FC' or whatever it may be, it was purely a desire to find a place that wore its heart on its sleeve as a football town and that needed a bit of a helping hand. Because that's what we felt like we could give." https://www.90min.com/posts/why-did-rob-mcelhenney-and-ryan-reynolds-buy-wrexham

The biggest problem is the big clubs want all the cash the super league would bring plus to still play in their respective leagues, with even more money generated by the Super League. They essentially want the best of everything as long as it maintains them at the top of the pile and mountains of cash coming in. The pace will quicken once Man Utd are taken over and with Chelsea and Liverpool struggling in the league this year. Leicester winning the league was a one off that the big clubs won't want to see again

Lampard should take some time off from management, then probably go to a Championship club to continue to hone his skills.

Sad news. Great player and a lovely person by all accounts. I also liked him as a pundit. His analysis was diligent and insightful.

Morocco had a fantastic tournament. Could easily have included Azzedine Ounahi and Bounou in your team and no-one would have argued with it.
