The Premier League consists of 20 teams who play against each other twice during a season, once at home and once away, resulting in a total of 38 fixtures per team. The league operates on a promotion and relegation system where the bottom three teams at the end of the season are relegated to the second-tier English Football League Championship, while the top two teams from the Championship and the winner of a playoff between the teams that finished third to sixth in the Championship are promoted to the Premier League.

Telegraph

23-05-17 22:39


Manchester City’s front line of Erling Haaland and Kevin de Bruyne proved too much for Real Madrid, allowing City plenty of possession and enabling Bernardo Silva to score two goals in the Champions League semi-final. De Bruyne and Haaland’s pressure from the front was advantageous to City, with Real failing to leave their own third in the first half. This was the match the Belgian midfielder required to give him that legacy moment and he is expected to relish playing a role in taking City to the Champions League final against Inter Milan.

Manchester United takeover saga could run into summer

Telegraph

23-05-17 22:01


The sale of Manchester United could remain uncertain until the end of the current Premier League season as potential bidders wait for a decision from the Glazer family over its future ownership. The family is also thought to be mulling contenders beyond Ineos owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe and the co-managing director of Qatar Sports Investments, Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad Al Thani. The family faces pressure from the forthcoming summer transfer window as well as from disgruntled fans. Manager Erik ten Hag also wants a decision on the matter. Ratcliffe and the Qataris have both sought to buy the club outright, while three US investment firms have also indicated interest in buying a minority stake. These funds could be used to redevelop Old Trafford or to buy out other shares in the club.

Sydney FC coach Steve Corica has been lauded by Football Australia boss Graham Arnold for his "drive and determination" in turning around the team's performance this season. Sydney started the campaign slowly and there was speculation that Corica's job was in jeopardy, but the Sky Blues have recovered and are one match away from a fourth grand final in five years. Arnold said the coach had refused to "buckle and bow" to critics and urged him to keep faith in his methods. Sydney take on Melbourne City in the second leg of their semi-final on Friday.

On this day in 2016, Liverpool lost 3-1 to Sevilla in the Europa League final in Basle, ending Jurgen Klopp’s hopes of winning his first trophy as manager of the club. Daniel Sturridge put Liverpool ahead in the first half, but the Spanish side rallied after the break to claim their third successive triumph in the competition, with Kevin Gameiro scoring a minute into the second half before a double from Coke sealed the victory. The result meant Liverpool missed out on European football for Klopp’s first season in charge, but they went on to qualify for the Champions League and win it in 2019.

Australia’s wagyu giant eyes European, Middle Eastern gourmets as profits jump

The Sydney Morning Herald

Australian Agricultural Company (AACo), the nation’s largest beef producer, is focusing on premium wagyu steaks for European and Middle Eastern customers, benefiting from a further 17% rise in branded wagyu sales in 2020, helping to drive a 35% rise in operating profits to AUD67.4m ($47.6m). AACo is promoting its Westholme Wagyu, one of the company’s key Australian brands, among chefs to help command higher prices. Though it marked one of the strongest results in the company’s history, a lack of dividends to shareholders remains an issue, as it has failed to award them for increasing numbers of years.

'A cataclysmic disaster': How bad relegation would be for the threatened sides

Telegraph

23-05-18 12:00


Nottingham Forest, Everton, Leeds United and Leicester City are all fighting to stay in the Premier League. Nottingham Forest faces potential issues with Financial Fair Play following heavy spending this season and most of the squad will have their wages reduced if the club is relegated, leading to potential sales of players. Meanwhile, Everton would face a financial nightmare as the club already has a precarious fiscal situation, and financially and emotionally a relegation by Everton would be catastrophic. Leeds United has implemented wage reductions for its players in case of relegation, and would likely face a firesale of major player assets to make up the financial shortfall. Leicester City players would have their salaries slashed between 35% to 50%, with its best players James Maddison and Harvey Barnes almost certain to be sold if the club is relegated.

Inside the rise of Newcastle United Women

Telegraph

23-05-18 11:26


Newcastle United is attracting attention to its women's team thanks to a significant recruitment investment that has seen the club rise from amateur to third tier under the ownership of Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund. Last month, 24,092 supporters turned out to watch a Newcastle women's game, while their average for the season was higher than the averages of WSL clubs West Ham United and Reading. Newcastle's promotion to the third tier marks the start of the club’s journey up the women's football pyramid, reportedly with the long-term aim of playing Champions League football by 2027. However, the club's upward journey may be hampered by restructuring plans that could be implemented as the WSL and Women’s Championship transition from FA-run to a private entity. Newcastle could be overlooked with applications for new licenses reopened, or an American-style franchise system introduced.
