Forest Green, football’s greenest club, have dropped out of the Football League. Almost everything at the club is sustainable, but their ambitions, it seems, were not. @OliverKay visited the Cotswolds club that tried to do things “Another Way”
Unlike other sports leagues around the world, there is not the same level of interest in the Premier League Hall of Fame. Why? @DTathletic, @mjshrimper, @Ankaman616, @CDEccleshare & @Ajay_Rose discuss the Hall of Fame as it is, the problems with it & how to fix it going forward.
Q1: Why did the National League back the decision to scrap cup replays? A: It’s in talks with the Premier League about an EFL Trophy-like comp between 16 NL sides & 16 U21 PL teams. Q2: When is fixture congestion OK? A: When it’s subsidised by the PL. theathletic.com/5450014/2024/0…
Last night the news broke that the National League are in discussions with the Premier League to create a new competition featuring U21 teams. 🧵A thread:

Liverpool and Feyenoord have agreed a compensation package that will allow Arne Slot to become Jurgen Klopp’s successor at Anfield. More from @AdamCrafton_ #LFC | #PL
The Morecambe board confirm that the players weren't paid today, saying that the owner, Jason Whittingham, had promised cash to cover wages, but hasn't delivered. There must be deepening concern as Whittingham continues to refuse to sell or to fund the club properly.

On this day 87 years ago, German and Italian planes bombed the northern Spanish town of Gernika at the behest of General Franco. This is the story of the Picasso painting it inspired, the town’s football team and the painful process of memory since then. theathletic.com/5438566/2024/0…
Is Arne Slot the right man for Liverpool? Only time will tell but @AdamCrafton_ met him last summer and talks about what he is like, his management style — and why he loves wingers so much. 🎙️ 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗔𝘁𝗵𝗹𝗲𝘁𝗶𝗰 𝗙𝗖 𝗣𝗼𝗱𝗰𝗮𝘀𝘁

I think there might be a pipeline problem for left-backs. For very different reasons, compared to 10-15 years ago they’re less likely to be converted wingers and also less likely to be converted centre-backs. So where will they come from? theathletic.com/5444483/2024/0…
Casemiro: what happened? Manchester United's Brazilian midfielder impressed last season but now he looks lost and is struggling. But is it him, the system or the club? @Ankaman616 takes a look ⬇️

For Saturday’s unwholesome content, who wants to see a picture of #pompey goalkeeper @WilllNorris and an inflatable willy? No one? Everyone? 😎
Millwall’s player of the year. Glad to still see him doing well.
An outcome of the EPPP. The best young players stockpiled at the elite clubs with limited methods of achieving senior game time. So integrating them in a mixed competition is a solution. Great for the U21s & scouts wanting to assess readiness levels but little benefit otherwise.

Last night the news broke that the National League are in discussions with the Premier League to create a new competition featuring U21 teams. 🧵A thread:
Here’s an idea on a postcard Bin off the U21’s sides and bring in the top performing NL sides into the EFL Trophy Let the U21’s all play each other in their own (already established) league, or, via another crazy idea, loan the U21 players to EFL sides for development 🤯

Rashford has literally tweeted The United Stand this season asking them to stop with the malicious rumours. But yeah, Walcott or Pele, the Belfast Bebe and a meme of a blind bird on The Chase is where he draws the line. 'My sources.' 😂 Absolute gold.
📺 Wycombe Wanderers set to feature in a documentary this summer, alongside Leyton Orient and Plymouth Argyle. O's co-owner Nigel Travis kicked off the idea after joining WhatsApp group with fellow US owners. A summer 2025 tournament in the States is also a possibility 🇺🇸🤔
Not easy for a Southend fan to write nice things about Orient but sometimes you’ve just got to listen & learn. Orient owner @nigeltravis on the EFL’s US ambitions, becoming “the Brentford of the east” & a sequel to a very memorable documentary. theathletic.com/5397858/2024/0…

This is what dreams are made of #NFLDraft
I tend to be of the view that fixed caps can (which is not to say always will) be justified for sporting integrity reasons in an environment of continued bifurcation between the richest and the poorest. But it’s a fine balance.
The Premier League is heading towards another contentious vote on Monday with a majority of clubs keen to add a hard spending cap to the new “squad cost” rules that are being introduced for the 2025-26 season. Based on the concept of “anchoring”, the de facto salary cap would…
𝗘𝗫𝗖𝗟𝗨𝗦𝗜𝗩𝗘: The majority of Premier League clubs want to introduce a hard spending cap — and the motion will be voted on Monday. The cap would allow clubs to only spend five times the commercial and broadcast revenue of the lowest team in the division. ⬇️ @mjshrimper
