In an interview with German source Kicker regarding his impending Wednesday arrival, the former Bayern Munich, RB Leipzig, and Southampton assistant coach stated that the task at Hillsborough is “definitely a big challenge,” but that he is committed to joining the club. After the break, Rohl will go to…

The Star reported on Thursday night that Wednesday had secured their man, with his transfer being finalized after he landed in Sheffield earlier that day. The sale was not subject to international clearance, it was added on Friday morning. That permission has finally been given, and the Owls have confirmed that the 34-year-old will take over as manager; he will be unveiled at Hillsborough this afternoon. A statement from the club read, “Sheffield Wednesday…

Andy Ruiz Jr will be remembered for stealing Anthony Joshua’s undefeated record as well as his unified world heavyweight belts. That night in New York in 2019 was one of the biggest heavyweight upsets in the sport, and many believe it influenced Joshua as a boxer even if he easily won the rematch less than six months later. Since then, the Brit has lost both of his championships to Oleksandr Usyk, and he was unable to accomplish so in their rematch. He’s found himself on the comeback trail, and all roads appear to go to Deontay Wilder for him and…
Tottenham Hotspur showed a fierce resolve in the transfer market this summer, bolstering new manager Ange Postecoglou with some exciting acquisitions following the departure of Harry Kane to Bayern Munich. And it’s paying off handsomely, with the London team leading the Premier League table after eight games, after failing to qualify for European competition last season. The work must not stop now, with the “revolution” of young signings – as described by football.london’s Alasdair Gold – laying the groundwork for what might be a golden age, and while the winter transfer market is still months away, another prodigy could arrive…

Coventry City will charge Stoke City supporters an eye-watering £37, plus a £1 booking fee, to be in the away end for their Championship clash next month – and charge juniors more than it would cost for a Stoke season ticket. Stoke fans have been shocked by prices which have been announced this morning – particularly as there is a £30 cap for away tickets in the Premier League – but the cost has been creeping up. It was £35 for a ticket at Leicester last weekend and at Bristol City a weekend previously. It has varied so far in the league this season,…
As Liverpool’s match against Nottingham Forest approaches, they have been struck a potential injury setback. The Premier League campaign for Steve Cooper’s team has gotten off to a promising start, and they plan to keep it going after the break. They travel to Anfield on October 29, later in the month. Prior to that match, their opponents appear to be concerned about the health of defender Andrew Robertson. While playing for Scotland in their loss to Spain on Thursday night, the left-back was taken off with what appeared to be a significant shoulder injury. Forest’s transfer’regret’ is described amid Chelsea’s…

Tahith Chong was carried off the field after Birmingham City’s loss to Coventry and sent to the hospital for an X-ray. After goals from Josh Eccles and Viktor Gyokeres in the first half left the Sky Blues on track to finish inside the Championship play-offs, the Blues were soundly defeated at the CBS Arena. A serious injury to Chong midway through the second half, however, cast a shadow over the contest. Before being dragged off the field, the former Manchester United starlet…
It’s fair to say that Jake Bidwell’s first five months at Coventry City left the team’s supporters mainly unimpressed. The opportunity to join the Sky Blues unexpectedly presented itself in January with Tyler Walker’s loan transfer to Portsmouth, with the latter agreeing to cover a substantial portion of the striker’s high salary. In order to strengthen and compete for the left wing-back position, Mark Robins was able to quickly nab Bidwell, who had been made available as a free agent at Swansea, on a permanent contract thanks to the freed up money. The complete cost of Coventry City’s pitch crisis:…
