The Premier League says it is “surprised and very disappointed” after Leicester City won their appeal against a decision that an independent commission had jurisdiction to consider an alleged breach of profit and sustainability rules.
An appeal board found that Leicester’s accounting period – after it was claimed the club exceeded the permitted £105million threshold over three seasons – ended on June 30, 2023, a month and two days after the Foxes were relegated from the top flight.
The Premier League said “effectively means that, despite the club being a member of the (Premier) League from seasons 2019-20 to 2022-23, the league cannot take action against the club for exceeding the relevant PSR threshold in respect of the associated accounting periods”.<…
Ex-Football Association chief David Bernstein claims UEFA s threat to exclude England from Euro 2028 was a “last throw of the dice” as they opposed an independent regulator of the sport.
UEFA general secretary Theodore Theodoridis has written to Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy, in a letter reported by The Times, insisting there should be “no government interference in the running of football” and that the introduction of an independent regulator could result in England being excluded from UEFA.
That severe sanction would mean English clubs would not be permitted to compete in the Champions League and other UEFA competitions. It would also jeopardise co-hosts England’s participation at Euro 2028.
But Bernstein, FA chairman from 2011 to 2013 and a long-time…
Son Heung-min has expressed his “love” for Tottenham teammate Rodrigo Bentancur, despite him making an alleged racist remark about the South Korea star.
The former Juventus midfielder was charged last Thursday with an alleged misconduct breach by the Football Association in relation to a media interview in the summer.
In the clip, which surfaced in June, the host of a Canal 10 show asked Bentancur to show the shirt of a player, with the 27-year-old allegedly replying: “Sonny’s? It could be Sonny’s cousin too as they all look the same.”
While an apology from Bentancur was swiftly forthcoming, due to this being an “aggravated breach”, if an independent regulatory commission panel upholds the FA charge, he could be suspended for six to 12 domestic m…

The Mississippi mobile-sports betting task force met today and one of its chairman took a big leap at its conclusion.
In a nearly two-hour meeting, the 11 member task force listened to several stakeholders on the pros and cons of potential legalization in the 2024 session.

It s Tuesday again and that means we bet home runs, thanks to FanDuel s Dinger Tuesday, DraftKings HomerFest, and Caesars Tuesday Dingers promos. I and racked up some good bonus bets on top of the win. Let s see if I can hit more than one home run prop this week, though!
My Dinger Tuesday bonus at FanDuel is the same as it was last time, allowing me to bet as many games as I want. My Caesars offer only comes with one 25% boost to use on home run markets, where that had always been two. However, I don t see as many games I like today as I did last week. Today s slate has a handful of good pitchers (don t give up many home runs at least), as well as some home run teams having to play in ballparks that aren t very home run friendly. Thankfully, it doesn t appear weather will play …
