Another 15% of their television rights being sold off, for the next 25 years. Soon they'll have nothing left to sell off.

Luxembourg's new national stadium is a great little stadium, if a bit costly for its size.

Spain have announced what stadiums they would be using for their bid. Gran Canaria seems a strange choice, would have thought Mallorca would have had a better chance for using one of the islands. And the use of La Cartuja in Seville instead of the other two superior stadiums in the city.

What kind of person knows where footballers live? Just seems a bit strange all these people on social media have the addresses of footballers... Completely abnormal behaviour.

Sampaoli out as Marseille manager. Pretty late into the summer to make a change now.

By the time this deal runs out, Robert Lewandowski will be approaching 60... Crazy short term thinking here.

Selling off their future, so they can buy a soon to be 34 year old striker. And probably selling off a bunch of young players, as well, to do so. Have seen this before, and they still haven't learnt.

Madness. All this for probably just a few seasons spending money for them. A decade of negligence, and they are going to be paying for it for decades to come.

Barcelona members have voted in favour of selling off 49% of their licensing and merchandising, and 25% of their television rights. Another summer, another firesale.

Aston Villa seem to be signing up a lot of young Scottish players recently, and Steven Gerrard endears himself further to half of Glasgow by taking their best young player. Adding him to Dundee United’s Kerr Smith and Ewan Simpson from Hearts, as other players signed from Scotland this summer.

Sensational

Andrea Pirlo is set to be announced as the new head coach of Turkish Süper Lig team Fatih Karagümrük. His time at Juventus was clearly a case of too much too soon for him. Think Agnelli was suduced by the success of Zidane and Guardiola had when taking over at Real Madrid and Barcelona, but at least they had some experience from coaching at youth level beforehand. Whereas Pirlo was set for that, with the Juventus U23s in the lower leagues of Italian football, before being thrust into the first team far too soon. His squad will already consist of a few Italians, and a few players with Serie A experience. So will not be totally unfamiliar to him.

Brighton have confirmed Dan Ashworth is joining. Wouldn't be farfetched to think that they'll have an agreement about no further staff or players are to follow him there.

UK and Éire pull out of the running. Focusing on Euro 2028 bid instead.

Heading to Newcastle?

Raith Rovers have stated he will not play for the club. Expect some pressure on the club's chairman, remaining directors and manager to follow. At a time where clubs have already been struggling, losing sponsors and (more importantly) supporters, they'll have a lot of pressure to do so. A horrific story, but it's at least a glimmer of hope that fans still have a huge amount of sway in the running of a so-called community club. I expect it'll take a lot for some fans to return and even more for the return of the people that had been previously associated with the club. Some of who had given the club their time, efforts and support. They, no doubt, have had a very emotional week and a lot of tough decisions to step away.

What is happening with Botafogo? Seen some stuff online, but very simplistic. Seems one of Palace's owner is buying them?

Was referring to the baseball team

Cleveland are also changing their name. It will be the 'Cleveland Guardians' after this season.

Gets better every week...
