News that a guy who paid nothing for his small stake, had no prior link to club/city, hasn’t been to a game for ages & is busy with another sport, an ocean away, shouldn’t be a news at all. But this is Tom Brady & Birmingham are top of the table. Odd.

Quantuma time costs on the Derby County administration now £3,854,193 per the latest report. They have taken about £1.85m to date. Unclear if creditors will agree to paying any more or how much, if anything, the administrators will have to take on the chin. Legal and other expsnes total a further £2m, including £95k on trains, taxis and motor expenses

Journalists pre-prepare articles to allow for quick publication. More as we get it...
The Ballon d’Or website had prewritten articles announcing Mbappe, Kane and Lamine Yamal as winners of the award.
After some digging I found more articles that weren’t supposed to be live 👇
Lionel Messi for the Ballon d’Or (in Spanish) & Alexia Putellas and Ewa Pajor, for the women's award.
Arteta, Enrique, de la Fuente for men’s coach.
Pere Romeu for women’s coach of the year.
Raya and Unai Simon for men’s goalkeeper of the year.
Cata Coll for women’s goalkeeper.
Yamal and Cubarsi for men’s young talent and Vicky Lopez for women’s young talent.
Harry Kane for striker of the year.
PSG for men’s club of the year and Barcelona for women’s club of the year.

everyone says ACL is the worst injury in sport.
it’s not.
it’s not even top 3.
achilles: 1 in 5 never get back to their old level.
patellar tendon rupture: 1 in 4 never play again.
tib-fib fracture: up to half get a major complication.
ACL? 90%+ return to the same level.
it’s not a death sentence.
comment which one you’ve had.
i’ll start — ACL, twice.
