Everton are up for sale and are looking for a new manager and Tottenham have snatched a deal. In addition, Alexander Isaacs is celebrated.
Here are the headlines for today’s English football news.
Today’s talk: Everton comic day
Marcelo Bielsa was mentioned early on as Everton’s preferred successor to the sacked Frank Lampard. The Daily Mail has now reported that the Argentine doubts the team’s ability to adapt to high-intensity football.
The paper described Tuesday as “farcical” as Everton agreed to new signing Arnaud Danjuma from Villarreal who wore the shirt and underwent a medical – only then opted for Tottenham.
The owner, Farhad Moshiri, also put the club up for sale. According to The Guardian, he wants just over 500 million pounds sterling (about SEK 6.3 billion).
Who will take over as coach? For now, the name in circulation is veteran crisis doctor Sam Allardyce.
Jamie Carragher has said that Everton is the worst managed club in the entire country, according to Monday Night Football on Sky.
Today’s headline: Profile forced to flee Egypt
Former Premier League referee Mark Clattenburg had to flee Egypt where he was working recently. The Sun reported that the Englishman was subjected to severe criticism and personal attacks from Mortada Mansour, the president of Zamalek.
Mansour, in particular, has complained about Clattenburg’s role in Egyptian football and claimed – wrongly – that the referee’s profile left his wife for a man. This, in turn, led Clattenburg to choose to leave his duties, fearing for his safety, after threats from the Zamalek fans.
The newspaper believes that the Englishman felt misled and worried about many questionable rulings in the league. Clattenburg left the Premier League in 2017 and has since worked in countries such as Saudi Arabia, China and Greece.
Today’s rating: Isaac was commended
Alexander Isaacs was widely praised after his tackle against Southampton, where he was responsible for the assist leading up to Jolinton’s winning goal. Newcastle won the match 1-0 thus reaching the final of the League Cup.
“A game-changer for The Magpies,” Issac’s assessment in local newspaper Chronicle Life read.
Call of the day: Ten Hag wants Rashford to stay
Eric ten Hag has told Marcus Rashford that he wants to build the team around the England player, according to the Daily Mail. The 25-year-old has scored nine goals in nine matches since the World Cup.
With only 18 months left on his Manchester United contract, other clubs began to come on board. Among other things, PSG is still said to be interested in signing him.
– It is important to us, and if we want to be successful, we need it, says coach Ten Hag.
