Garry Monk’s Elland Road departure has sparked an early post-season scramble for his Peyton Manning Jersey services after the former Swansea City manager resigned just two days after Andrea Radrizzani completed his takeover of Leeds United. Monk, who was appointed head coach on a rolling 12-month contract only last June, tendered his resignation before Leeds activated a clause allowing them to extend his stay until the end of next season. The 38-year-old quit with several Premier League clubs and newly relegated sides seeking a manager but his contractual situation at Elland Road is also understood to have influenced his decision. Monk is now scheduled to speak to Middlesbrough, who had been very close to appointing Nigel Pearson. However, with Crystal Palace, Watford and the recently relegated pair of Sunderland and Hull City also on the look-out for new managers, Monk will top many of those shortlists. The former Middlesbrough manager Aitor Karanka is an early favourite for the Leeds post. Victor Orta, former head of recruitment at the Riverside under Karanka, has been targeted for a technical director’s role at Elland Road. Radrizzani, an Italian businessman, completed his buy-out of Massimo Cellino only on Tuesday. He immediately signalled his intention to activate the 12-month option in Monk’s rolling contract but the former Swansea City http://www.broncosfootballprosshop.com/Phil_Taylor_Jersey_Cheapmanager wanted a new, longer-term deal. In a statement, however, Leeds claimed Monk’s head had been turned before a meeting with Radrizzani on Wednesday and the new owner insisted a long-term contract was an option. Radrizzani tweeted: “Shocking news from GM. We were keen to do 3 years deal. We never receive any request from him and his agent. No regrets, we did our best.” Leeds had previously stated: “We are shocked and disappointed by Garry’s decision but his resignation has been reluctantly accepted by chairman Andrea Radrizzani. Andrea made it clear to the media yesterday that his intention was to exercise the club’s option to extended the manager’s contract for another 12 months and immediately begin negotiations for a longer-term deal. Norwich appoint Daniel Farke as head coach on two-year contract Read more “Mr Radrizzani has met with Garry twice since taking over at Elland Road earlier this week and during the second meeting yesterday it became clear that Garry was considering life beyond Leeds United as at no time did Garry wish to discuss terms for a longer contract. Following that meeting http://www.jetsofficialsonline.com/Eric_Decker_Jersey_Cheap yesterday Garry’s agent requested that the option was not exercised and his resignation was received this morning.” Monk brought a period of relative stability to Leeds amid the turbulence of the Cellino era and was the first head coach in three years to serve a full season at Elland Road. He led the team to their highest league finish since 2011 and spent most of the Championship campaign challenging for the play-offs until a poor late run ended their prospects of promotion. Despite a sequence of one win in the final eight matches, Leeds’s new owner was keen to continue with Monk but must now begin the search for the club’s seventh managerial appointment in three years. Monk tweeted a statement which read: “My intention was always to remain at Leeds and I saw myself at this fantastic club for many years to come. However, ultimately, no agreement could be reached.” Monk, who spent 10 years as a player at Swansea before taking over as manager in February 2014, leaves Leeds without compensation and is available to take another job immediately. He won 48% of his league games in charge, the fifth-highest percentage in the club’s history. The Leeds statement added: “Whilst we are deeply saddened by Garry’s decision, there is no individual bigger than our club and we will now begin a process to identify and appoint a new head coach to take the club to the next level. We thank Garry for his contribution during his time at Leeds Erin Henderson Youth Jersey United, we are disappointed that we could not continue on this journey together
A new thread in the web of corruption investigations around Brazil’s president, Michel Temer, was revealed on Tuesday when police arrested a close aide for an alleged kickback scheme involving the World Cup stadium in Brasilia. Brazil: explosive Matt Garza Womens Jersey recordings implicate President Michel Temer in bribery Read more Tadeu Filippelli, a former vice-governor of the capital and cabinet adviser, was among three senior politicians detained by police during morning raids. The suspects are accused of deliberately inflating the cost of the Mane Garrincha stadium in return for bribes from the construction company. The venue – which was used in the quarter-final and third-placed play-off of the 2014 tournament – was initially budgeted at $180m, but ended up costing $454m. After Wembley, it is the second most expensive football stadium in the world, but the 72,800 seats are almost never filled because Brasilia has no top-tier football club. Last year, the spectacular edifice was used as a bus depot. Temer’s office said Filippelli was dismissed from his post as soon as the charges were made public. But the arrest adds to the pressure on the embattled president, who was formally accused by the attorney general last week of obstructing justice and corruption related to the sprawling graft schemes at major companies uncovered by the Lava Jato (Car Wash) investigation. A secret tape recording Jedd Gyorko Womens Jersey released last week appears to show Temer condoning hush money pay-offs to the jailed former house speaker, Eduardo Cunha. It was part of a plea bargain by the heads of the meat-packing company JBS, who also provided evidence of bribery that prompted the supreme court to suspend another of Temer’s aides in Congress, Rocha Loures, and one of his most powerful coalition allies, the senator and former presidential candidate Aecio Neves. Eight members of the cabinet are also being investigated for alleged graft related to the state-run oil company Petrobras and the construction company Odebrecht. Brazil woman got longer jail term for Easter egg theft than corruption culprits Read more Temer has denied the accusations and refused to step down. “I won’t resign. Oust me if you want,” he said in an interview with Brazil’s Folha de S?o Paulo newspaper on Monday. At least nine impeachment motions http://www.officialkingsteamstore.com/Jeff_Zatkoff_Jersey have been submitted against him in Congress, including one by the Bar Association. The president’s approval ratings have fallen into single digits. The Brazilian public has long complained of corruption and wasteful public spending. In 2013, millions took to the streets to vent their frustrations about dire governance, focusing largely on the squandering of money on World Cup stadiums that were overpriced and unlikely to be well used after the tournament. Their worst fears have been confirmed by recent testimonies from Odebrecht construction executives, who revealed that renovation costs for at least five World Cup Jacob deGrom Jersey venues were artificially inflated to generate kickbacks to politicians
onsidering Sam Allardyce did not actually win a great deal, he unquestionably overachieved in his managerial career, taking his knowhow into a number of difficult situations and always coming out on the credit side of the ledger. English football will be a quieter and less colourful place without him, though precisely because Allardyce projected his personality on the game so forcefully – he even managed to be too large and unshushable for the England job – few will readily believe the professional game has seen the last of him.
Arsène Wenger has hinted that Petr Cech will start in goal for Arsenal in Saturday’s FA Cup final against Chelsea rather than David Ospina and the manager admitted Kieran Gibbs was an injury doubt, deepening his defensive selection crisis. Wenger played Ospina, his second-choice goalkeeper, in all eight of the club’s Champions League ties this season, plus the early rounds of the FA Cup. But he went with Cech for the quarter-final against Lincoln City and the semi-final against Manchester City and he is expected to persist with the 35-year-old to Frank Robinson Jersey face his former club at Wembley. Ospina’s longer-term future at Arsenal is in doubt. The Colombia international has had enough with being a substitute for the majority of his three years at the club. Wenger has previously favoured his back-up goalkeeper on FA Cup runs. In 2013-14 he played Lukasz Fabianski in every round, ahead of Wojciech Szczesny, as Arsenal won the trophy and in 2014-15 he relied upon Szczesny from the fourth round onwards after Szczesny had been displaced by Ospina as the No1. Arsenal again won the trophy. This time, though, it would be a surprise if he did not pick Cech. Call him what you want at Arsenal – investor, owner, leech – Stan Kroenke is staying put David Conn David Conn Read more When it was put to Wenger that he had usually gone with Ospina in the cup competitions this season, he replied: “No. In the semi-final [against City], Cech played. Will Cech play against Chelsea? It is possible. We will see.”
Chelsea have cancelled Sunday’s planned victory parade, designed to celebrate C.J. Watson Authentic Jersey their Premier League title success, after taking security advice inthe wake of the terror attack in Manchester. The champions will wear black armbands when facing Arsenal in Saturday’s FA Cup final at Wembley, an occasion that will take place amid heightened security with the government having raised the terror threat level to “critical” after the attack at the Manchester Arena. Chelsea had intended to conduct an open-top bus parade in south-west London but, after lengthy consultations with the Metropolitan police, local councils and other authorities, have opted to cancel it. The club, who are to make a donation to a fund supporting victims of the atrocity, have sent condolences to those affected in Manchester, with those sentiments echoed by their England defender Gary Cahill. “It’s important to show our respect and send our condolences to the families that have been affected in Manchester,” said the Chelsea captain, whose family will be in attendance at Wembley. “We’ve all got families, so I can’t imagine how they’re feeling right now. I have lived close to Manchester, it’s a great city, and I’m sure they’ll pull together. “With the http://www.officialmagicstoreonline.com/Cj_Wilcox_Jersey game, it’s difficult. There’s an element of trying to live your life in a normal way. Everyone speaks about trying to make sure it doesn’t affect you but it’s impacted everyone in England, especially the families. It’s a tragedy, like when we played [for the national team] at Wembley after the bombings in Paris. It’s horrible. We send our best wishes to everyone involved and I’m sure the security will be top drawer at Wembley on Saturday. We’re going to try to enjoy it as much as we can. “I try not to worry. I’m sure there’s a lot that goes on behind the scenes we don’t know about but it’s very difficult to stop absolutely everything. These aren’t normal situations. When you see these things happen around the world it has a huge impact but when it happens in your own country it’s even more devastating. You can’t let it affect everything you do in your life. We have to pull to together as a country.” Advertisement Chelsea Walt Weiss Jersey said they felt a parade would be “inappropriate” in light of the tragic events in Manchester. “Given the heightened security threat and recognising that this is a developing situation, we have given this careful consideration,” said a spokesman. “We strongly believe, in the interests of everyone, this is the correct course of action. “We know the emergency services would have been as professional as ever but we would not want in any way to divert important resources by holding an additional, non-ticketed event on the streets of London.” The club’s player of the year awards night, a ticketed event scheduled for Sunday, will still take place as it is confined to a single area of the venue Battersea Evolution. Arsenal, seeking a third FA Cup success in four years, have cancelled their screening of the final at the Emirates Stadium. “Should the team win Saturday’s FA Cup final at Wembley, we can also confirm that a victory parade will not take place,” they said in a statement. “We did not want to place any additional pressure on police and security services at this time and have been http://www.panthersfootballprostore.com/james-bradberry-jersey-for-sale-c-25.html working closely with them ahead of making this decision
There was a moment at the final whistle when José Mourinho went looking for someone. This match had come to mean so much to Manchester United that three of his injured players – Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Luke Shaw Adidas Keith Yandle Authentic Jersey and Eric Bailly – had just attempted to sprint to the centre-circle on crutches. Then Mourinho saw his son, the modestly named José Jr, and suddenly man and boy were rolling around the pitch. These were euphoric scenes and though it has been a harrowing few days, the celebrations at the end went a long way to answering the question about whether a football team from Manchester can consider this a happy ending to the season. Mourinho could even be seen kissing a trophy he once felt was beneath him. It completes the set for United, the only trophy they had never won before, and changes the complexion of how their season will be remembered. Mourinho Adidas Jack Eichel Authentic Jersey has won 12 of his 14 finals as a manager and two in one season is more than some of United’s rivals have managed in the past decade. He even tried to make a case it was even more, telling his players not to forget the Community Shield and instructing them to hold up three fingers as they waited to lift their latest prize. Manchester United keep focus to claim Europa League on emotional night Jamie Jackson at the Friends Arena Read more It also means United will return to the Champions League next season but, more than anything perhaps, it also presented an opportunity to dedicate the prize to their city. Manchester will not be healed by the loud, defiant songs and, yes, it was supposed to be a minute’s silence before the match rather than another opportunity to applaud and sing. In its own small way, however, there was still something deeply moving, uplifting even, about those chants, over and again, in honour of the city. “Manchester, Manchester, Manchester,” they sang. The backdrop to this final had been difficult in the extreme but, as Mourinho had stated, United had a job to do and they went about it with all the qualities that would usually be associated with one of his teams. Granted, that does not mean http://www.authenticsandiegopadres.com/Rollie-Fingers-Jersey the exhilarating football of the great United sides, leaving the Ajax coach, Peter Bosz, to make a number of pithy remarks about long-ball tactics and the difference in terms of size and physicality. That, however, seems like a debate for another day bearing in mind everything that happened in Manchester on Monday. “We want to dedicate it to all the victims,” Ander Herrera said. “The manager told us the only thing we could do was win it for them.” ‘We won it for Manchester’ – Paul Pogba dedicates victory to attack victims Read more It culminated with Wayne Rooney running on as a last-minute substitute so he was in place to lift the trophy that had come their way because of the goals from Paul Pogba and Henrikh Mkhitaryan. If this was Rooney’s goodbye it was a nice way to go and none of those players cavorting about the pitch will care that Bosz called it a “boring game”. Mourinho made his own point. “There are many poets in football,” he said. “But poets – they don’t win many titles.” The only downsides came with the conduct of the Ajax fans who tore up seats at the final whistle and Herrera’s attempt to get an opponent sent off by pretending he had been felled by a headbutt. That apart, United can reflect on a hugely satisfactory night and Mourinho can hardly be blamed for taking advantage of the fact he had the bigger players. United’s second goal was the case in point. Marouane Fellaini, such a difficult, awkward opponent, could not reach Juan Mata’s corner but his presence alone unsettled Ajax’s defenders. Chris Smalling was behind him to head the ball into the six-yard area and Mkhitaryan hooked in a clever, improvisational finishAjax’s starting line-up had an average Matt Garza Authentic Jersey age of 22 years and 282 days, including six players of 21 or younger, with a 17-year-old in the centre of defence.

Real Madrid’s fans gathered at the fountain of Cibeles, celebrating before their team had even finished playing at Rosaleda. Those who were in Málaga celebrated too, singing their way through the final minutes as the team eased through them, success long-since secured. There was to be no drama on the final day and no late twist, just a first league title in five years. An early goal from Cristiano Ronaldo set Madrid on their way as they eased towards a 2-0 victory that might yet be the first step towards a domestic and European double that has eluded them for 59 years. Madrid had gone into the final day knowing that a single point would be sufficient; the surprise was that for much of the night it appeared even a defeat would have been enough, with news coming through that Barcelona were trailing at the Camp Nou. The Catalans eventually came back from 2-0 down to win 4-2 but theirs was an empty victory. Madrid’s was a comfortable one, no space for a surprise. It was over almost as soon as it had begun – if there had ever really been a chance. Málaga v Real Madrid: La Adidas Gabriel Landeskog Jersey Liga finale – as it happened Goals from Cristiano Ronaldo and Karim Benzema ensured Real Madrid won the title in Zinedine Zidane’s first full season in charge of the club Read more A loose ball fell to Isco. He received, looked up and slotted it through the gap for Ronaldo, setting off from the centre-forward position, his territory now. Running clean through, his finish had more than a hint of that other Ronaldo – the great Brazilian – about it: a touch to control, another to take him beyond Carlos Kameni before he rolled it into the net. Once he had begun to move, there was never any doubt. The clock said 1min 37sec – or it would have if the league had not taken the absurd decision to prohibit stadium scoreboards from telling the time. It was early, anyway, everyone knew. Soon they also knew that Barcelona were trailing http://www.authenticcoloradoavalanche.com/authentic-jarome-iginla-jersey 1-0 at the Camp Nou. Amid all the talk about Málaga getting a surprise result, no one seemed to have contemplated the possibility that it would be Eibar who did so. If Takashi Inui’s goal 600 miles or so north-east of here made little practical difference – Madrid’s fate was always in their own hands – it did make their position more comfortable still. If it stayed like that in Barcelona, never mind a solitary point, they could lose and still take the title. Instead, they ledThat it was Ronaldo and Isco who combined for the goal was appropriate; they are the men who have led Madrid towards the finish in recent weeks, when the late goals that defined much of the first half of the season have often given way to early ones, drama reduced to a minimum. Isco has given them a control and subtlety previously lacking. Ronaldo, rested and rotated, has been decisive. This is the eighth season in which he has reached 25 league goals, but it is when he has scored that really matters, not how many. This was his 14th goal in eight matches. Advertisement Much had been said about Málaga’s application – all the more so because their http://www.authenticfloridapanthers.com/authentic-jason-demers-jersey manager, Míchel González, is a former Madrid legend. But made a match of this. For much of the half they rolled forward and beyond the visitors. Sandro Ramírez, the former Barcelona player, was a man on a mission. He drew two saves from Keylor Navas. The second was sensational, Navas crashing into the post as he reached a wonderful free-kick. Another Sandro shot flashed wide and two Keko headers missed the target, Málaga were on top. Madrid, though, were top and never seemed set to relinquish that position. At half-time Barcelona were at least four goals away from winning the title – and they had to be the right four. But the next to arrive was Madrid’s. Sergio Ramos reached a Luka Modric corner, his shot coming back off Kameni, via Raphael Varane’s chest, to Benzema who scored from close range. If that was the “wrong” goal, a roar from the Madrid fans at the Rosaleda welcomed another. Incredibly Eibar’s Inui had scored again. Even when Barcelona did score, it was not their doing but an own-goal. Leo Messi’s penalty was saved by Yoel at the Camp Nou, it summed up their day and maybe even their season, and although they did eventually get the second, and then a third, Madrid were there now and they knew it. They had been from the startvEuropa League final: Ajax 0-2 Manchester United – player ratings Read more Pogba’s 18th-minute shot ought to have been a straightforward save for André Onana had the ball not taken ricocheted off Davinson Sánchez, the nearest defender. Onana was already moving to his left when the deflection turned the ball towards the centre of the goal. The goalkeeper was stranded and Pogba had his most important, and fortuitous, goal since rejoining United last summer. The strange part was that Mourinho was so impassive at that stage, hardly wearing the expression of a man who had seen his team take the lead in a European final. The game was still in its early stages and as the first half wore on, it Adidas Jonathan Huberdeau Youth Jersey was Ajax who were playing the more creative and fluent game.khitaryan’s goal was timed well, three minutes into the second half, and the manager’s demeanour had changed entirely by the end
Jermain Defoe is set to join Bournemouth from Sunderland as a free agent on a three-year deal that will pay him ￡20m – including the signing-on fee. The 34-year-old striker, capped 56 times by England, has exercised a relegation-release clause in his Sunderland contract and he will return Dwight Gooden Youth Jersey to the club for whom he played at the beginning of his career. Defoe was an 18-year-old when he turned out for Bournemouth in 2000-01, on loan from West Ham United, and he scored 19 goals in 31 appearances for them. He played alongside Eddie Howe and Jason Tindall, who are now the Bournemouth manager and assistant manager respectively, and he has always spoken fondly of his time at the south coast club. Premier League 2016-17 review: what we learned tactically from the season Michael Cox Read more Defoe joined Sunderland in January 2015 after a spell at Toronto FC and he was persuaded in the summer of last year by Sam Allardyce, the club’s manager at the time, to extend his contract. He agreed to do so on the condition that he would be allowed to leave for free in the event of relegation. Allardyce was promptly tempted away by the England job and he was replaced by David Moyes, under whom Defoe became increasingly frustrated. Defoe scored 15 times in the Premier League last season but it was not enough to save Sunderland from relegation. Moyes resigned on Monday. Defoe’s form saw him win an England recall in March and he scored in the World Cup http://www.officialmetsproshop.com/Gary_Carter_Jerseyqualifying win over Lithuania – his 20th goal for his country. Defoe has been teetotal throughout his career and with the massive contract on offer at Bournemouth, he might reflect on the benefits of having kept himself in peak condition. Watford and Crystal Palace had been among the clubs to show an interest in Defoe but Bournemouth have jumped to the front of the queueThe former Barcelona president Sandro Rosell and his wife have been detained in connection with his businesses in Brazil. The detentions were part of a money-laundering investigation related to buying television rights for past matches of Brazil’s national team. Three other people were detained but their identities were not immediately released by authorities. Police raided offices, homes and businesses in Barcelona and other locations in Spain as part of Operation Rimet, a reference to former Fifa president Jules Rimet, who also gave his name to the World Cup trophy from 1930 to 1970. Authorities said the operation looked into the alleged illegal payments received by Rosell and other people involved in promoting Brazil’s games. Authorities said nearly €15m (￡13m) could have been laundered through tax havens. Officials said the operation used information from the FBI following the US case against high-level Fifa officials in 2015. Rosell, a former Nike executive in Brazil, had close connections to the former president of the http://www.officialkingsteamstore.com/Jake_Muzzin_Jersey Brazilian football confederation, Ricardo Teixeira, who was mentioned in the indictment by American officials. Teixeira was also being investigated by Spanish authorities and raids were also expected in Brazil. Teixeira resigned from the Brazilian confederation in 2012 citing medical reasons amid widespread allegations of corruption and irregularities in his administration. He denied wrongdoing in all cases. In the 1990s, Rosell negotiated several deals with Teixeira involving Brazil’s national team and Nike, which remains the sportswear company used by the Brazil team. Several years ago, Rosell was formally accused by Brazilian authorities of using one of his companies to illegally benefit from a friendly between Brazil and Portugal in 2008. Rosell was cleared of any wrongdoing at the time. In a separate case in Spain, Rosell is to stand trial for fraud and corruption charges involving the transfer of Neymar from Brazilian club Santos in 2013. Prosecutors said the real amount of the transfer fee was concealed to benefit some of those involved. Neymar and his father, who have both denied any wrongdoing, will also stand trial. Rosell resigned as the Barcelona president in 2014 because of the allegations related to Neymar’s Jeff Carter Authentic Jersey transfer. He had taken over the club in 2010. He and his wife were detained at their home in Barcelona during one of the police raids. They stayed at the location while authorities executed search warrants. Another home owned by Rosell was also searched by police
