The new manager grew up in Australia, and the big cities in Australia are like distant extensions of what North London and other working class areas of England used to be. Its in the speech patterns of the Australian slang and accent. But the manager grew up in an enclave where football was a huge part of the identity for all the people in his community.

What are you making of the rumors that PSG is entering the fray for Kane? Also word is that Bayern is prepping a 3rd offer for him.

They are are still going to be tens of millions short I expect.  At least PSG seems to have no issues paying massive transfer fees.

Farmers League club might pony up some cash if KM leaves, but I don't think Harry cares about playing in France.

BM will have to break the £100M threshold to get him, and they're reluctant. Last I saw they were at €90M after add on's. 
 

I think he stays for now, maybe he goes if BM raises their offer.

Quote

In this powerful episode of The Overlap, Gary Neville sits down to have a heartfelt conversation with Dele, as he courageously speaks about his recent circumstances on and off the pitch and the profound challenges he endured throughout his childhood and long-lasting effects of trauma it has caused him.
 
Dele opens up about his recent battle with addiction and his remarkable journey of rehabilitation as well his unwavering aspiration to inspire those facing similar circumstances to speak up.
 
Dele hopes his brave admission can inspire others to seek the help they need. If you or anyone you know has been affected by any of the themes in this interview you can speak to the following organisations.

Boy, we are going to be real fun to watch going forward, but defense is... Well, yeah, it is.

Starters were

Vicario

Porro, Romero, Tanganga, Reguilon

Skipp, Bissouma, Madddison

Solomon, Kane, Kulu

Full line change at halftime.

We had possession 72% - 28

We outshot them 32(13) - 7(4)

Gio and Udogie with the goals in the second half

Gave up goals on a poorly defended cross, on a short corner set piece, and after a failed offside trap that put them through 1 on 1 (5 minutes after we drew level at 2-2)

One of the goals was the Reguilon letting Ings go right by him for an open header on goal. The other was Sanchez letting a West Ham player blow right by him. Neither will likely be on the squad this season.

From The Athletic

Tottenham owner Joe Lewis indicted for insider trading, giving information to romantic partners and private pilots 

Spoiler

Tottenham owner Joe Lewis has been indicted for “orchestrating a brazen insider trading scheme” that involved passing information to “romantic partners and his private pilots”, United States attorney for the Southern District of New York Damian Williams has announced

 

In news that could have consequences for any potential sale of the club, the 86-year-old billionaire is alleged to have “abused his access to corporate board rooms and repeatedly provided inside information to his personal assistants and his friends” too. “Those folks then traded on that inside information and made millions of dollars in the stock market because thanks to Lewis, those bets were a sure thing.”

 

ADVERTISEMENT

 

 

According to federal law, a person found guilty of insider trading can be sentenced to up to 20 years in prison. In addition, they may face up to $5 million in fines.

 

It is unclear yet whether the indictment could raise significant issues for Lewis. The Premier League has an owners and directors test which is designed to stop people convicted of such crimes owning a club. However, the 86-year-old ceded official control to Bryan Glinton and Katie Booth in October 2022.

 

Lewis has owned Tottenham since he bought the London club for £22 million in December 2000 and has overseen mixed success. While the club is now regularly involved in the conversations around European spots and has a state-of-the-art stadium and training ground, there has been a lack of trophies and many fans want him to sell. He has been open to offers for some time though has not come close to accepting an offer.

 

What else Williams said

“None of this was necessary. Joe Lewis is a wealthy man, but as we allege, he used inside information as a way to compensate his employees or to shower gifts on his friends and lovers. That’s classic corporate corruption, it’s cheating and it’s against the law,” the attorney said.

 

“Laws that apply to everyone, no matter who you are. That’s why Joe Lewis has been indicted and will face justice here in the Southern District of New York.”

Tottenham owner Joe Lewis charged with insider trading in New York

Joe Lewis, the British billionaire and owner of the Tottenham Hotspur soccer team, was criminally charged on Tuesday in New York for orchestrating a "brazen" insider trading scheme.

 

Prosecutors said Lewis exploited his access to corporate boardrooms by passing tips about companies in which he invested to friends, personal assistants, private pilots and romantic partners, enabling them to reap millions of dollars of profit.

 

"None of this was necessary. Joe Lewis is a wealthy man," U.S. Attorney Damian Williams said in a video on social media.

 

"But as we allege he used inside information as a way to compensate his employees or shower gifts on his friends and lovers," Williams continued. "That's classic corporate corruption. It's cheating. And it's against the law."

 

Lewis, 86, who founded the investment firm Tavistock Group, was charged with 16 counts of securities fraud and three counts of conspiracy, for alleged crimes spanning from 2013 to 2021.

 

"The government has made an egregious error in judgment in charging Mr. Lewis, an 86-year-old man of impeccable integrity and prodigious accomplishment," Lewis' lawyer David Zornow said in an emailed statement. "Mr. Lewis has come to the U.S. voluntarily to answer these ill-conceived charges, and we will defend him vigorously in court."

 

Lewis is worth $6.1 billion, according to Forbes magazine.

 

Insider trading has long been a focus of Williams' office, dating to 2009 when a crackdown began under one of his predecessors, Preet Bharara.

 

Lewis was accused of having from 2019 to 2021 passed nonpublic information about companies such as Mirati Therapeutics MRTX.O, Solid Biosciences SLDB.O and Australian Agricultural Co AAC.AX.

 

He was also accused of having from 2013 to 2018 conspired to defraud Mirati, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and investors by using shell companies and other means to hide his more than 20% stake in the cancer therapy company.

 

Prosecutors said that in some insider trading cases, Lewis lent money to recipients of his tips, including in October 2019 when he wired $1 million to two pilots so they could buy more Mirati shares.

 

The indictment quoted one pilot texting a friend that "Boss lent Marty and I $500,000 each for this," and that he thought "the Boss has inside info" because "otherwise why would he make us invest."

 

Both pilots allegedly repaid their loans soon after Mirati announced favorable results from a clinical trial, causing its stock price to rise 16.7%.

 

"Loan payback for MRTX," the second pilot wrote in his records.

 

Lewis is also known for taking a nearly 10% stake in Bear Stearns in 2007, shortly before the Wall Street bank narrowly avoided collapse and was bought by JPMorgan Chase JPM.N at a fire sale price. His losses were estimated at more than $1 billion.

The biggest issue I think this year will be the homegrown rules.

Going into the transfer season this is who we had that met the requirements:

Fraser Forster
Brandon Austin
Alfie Whiteman - Snaped his leg in Singapore
Japhet Tanganga
Ben Davies
Joe Rodon
Djed Spence
Ryan Sessegnon
Harvey White
Harry Winks -  Sold to Leicester
Oliver Skipp
Harry Kane - I would expect to leave

 

EPL Teams are required to carry 8 players on the 25 man roster

Technically, the rule is just that you can only register 17 foreign players. Still likely means we'll need to move several foreign players.

Maddison don’t count for homegrown ?

He does. That was a list of players that were on the team at the start of the transfer season.

Is Joe Rodon considered foreign? Do you have to be English or UK?

Yes and No

He counts as homegrown because Swansea is under the jurisdiction of the English FA. THOUGH he is foreign. And do you have to be English? No. They just have to come up through an FA governed club academy. There are a number of players that are from the continent that count as English home grown - Pogba and Lukaku come to mind. 

So the name that you should be surprised to not see is Dier, who is English, but come up through a Portuguese club.
