Excl: #Wolves have sacked Rob Edwards. Cesar Peixoto to be appointed as his replacement. This is utterly mad timing and so harsh as Edwards has been planning all summer for next season + was heavily instrumental in the signings of Trippier & Jimenez.

Wolves doing Wolves things lmao. But no sympathy for Edwards at all. Braindead decision to leave Boro for them of all clubs, despite all the off-field factors that played into his decision.
Benfica manager to Real Madrid Fulham manager to Benfica Real Madrid manager to Fulham I have no idea is this good or bad. Madrid is not anything like Fulham. How was he as a youth coach? What tactics does he play? Edit: On second thoughts, if we get some Real Madrid youth players out of this, it could be a brilliant appointment.

Even more Wolves doing Wolves stuff if this happens. Understand Kieran Trippier is considering cancelling his agreement with Wolves as he is angry at the sacking of manager Rob Edwards feeling he has misled by the club. Trippier’s deal at Wolves does not kick in until July 1st after leaving Newcastle as a free agent. #wwfc pic.twitter.com/jOAsC4KWcP— Pete O'Rourke (@SportsPeteO) June 11, 2026
UEfA will be dreading Israel qualifying for Euro 2028 now because it’s clear Ireland at least cannot safely host the Israel team, https://www.rte.ie/sport/soccer/202...h-with-israel-will-be-moved-to-neutral-venue/ Think we will see some reaction to this from English politicians as the Irish authorities reveal they consulted with the Palestinians over this request and that feels like something that will be much more polarising in England than it is in Ireland.
🚨 EXCL: Brighton & Hove Albion make £30m offer to sign Luka Vuskovic from Tottenham Hotspur. 19yo #THFC talent among Europe’s most coveted players but Croatia defender favours #BHAFC as best step for development + mutual trust with Hurzeler @TheAthleticFC https://t.co/AYdko97Kq9— David Ornstein (@David_Ornstein) June 12, 2026
Absolutely no chance Spurs accept that, he signed for £12m 2 years ago. And by all accounts was one of the best CBs in the Bundesliga last season for a pretty poor Hamburg. They could let him leave on loan with an option of like £60m, that's the only way I see it as a possibility
Begs the question, if he's one of the most coveted young players in Europe why on earth would they sell him to a Premier League rival?

It's easy to mock, but if we're talking about how you resolve a brutally violent conflict that, at this point, has roots going back over two thousand years, then the one thing that no-one has tried in all of that time is an under-15 football match.
