@SkySportsNews football correspondent, but these are my musings.

Latest #mufc accounts for Q1 show a continuation of the INEOS theme- slightly reduced revenues while the team competes outside Europe and LG Cup but reduced costs to streamline the business, and profits up. Don’t expect big signings in January, with star CDM targeted for summer.

You remember COVID era censorship, right? They banned us from their apps. They deplatformed alternate views and tried to silence any form of opposition. That's why we built Unplugged. So when the chips are down, we know we have an independent platform that will have our back.

Benjamin Sesko is close to a return to action for #mufc after a month on the sidelines with a knee injury, I’m hearing - and could even feature at some point in Monday night’s game against #bournemouth. He is likely to be able to play a fuller part against #avfc six days later.

Excl: For the first time ever, #england are considering “venue-hopping” for knockout games at the US World Cup because of tight turnaround between matches, and likelihood of missing out to Argentina on first choice Kansas training base. https://t.co/tDIvYff9Wh

Delayed final offers from some would-be #swfc buyers mean “preferred bidder” status unlikely before the end of this week. Several parties still doing deep dive on the accounts, and some dislike the idea of paying Chansiri £15m as part of the deal. But £30m+ fee still good value.

Just do it for the headline potential
#whufc interested in poss deal for striker Promise David at Belgium side Union SG. 9 goals for club and country this season, he is 1 of several options. Striker no1 priority in Jan, with Fullkrug expected to leave- but Frankfurt interest in him has waned. Wolfsburg still keen.

As we reported earlier, EFL confirm new 6-point deduction for #swfc but there will be no further points penalty -despite more charges pending due to late payment of wages. Fee restriction “likely” to be lifted when new owners in place meaning transfers could be allowed from then.

Moses Caicedo sent off for #cfc, but Maresca says “exactly the same” challenge by #thfc Rodrigo Bentancur on Reece James saw only a yellow card produced. New series “The Whistleblower” asks: is there a refereeing contradiction/lack of consistency here? https://t.co/Ec5qk19sbc

Full story on the email that went from #sufc to #swfc enquiring about the sale of all at Hillsbrough. No way the EFL or Football Regulator would allow it, but Sheff Utd’s owners not denying the email was sent. https://t.co/E336JLPLWp

#swfc given special permission by EFL to sign a second new player, after Liam Cooper joined last week. Injury problems and AFCON key factors. Meanwhile 3 “credible” offers on the table with 2 more expected in coming days. Preferred bidder could be announced by end of next week.

If Tuchel takes 2 players for each position as he’s hinted and - as I expect - 5 CMIDs and 5CBs (coz of heat and risk of injury/suspension) that means he has only 1 “wild card” to use between Foden, Palmer, Eze and more. #england World Cup squad analysis. https://t.co/VeumT0GrNV
