The Football News Thread 2019/20 - everything not Wolves

I see that Michel Platini is being questioned by French anti corruption investigators over the awarding of the 2022 World cup to Qatar.

This one is just going to run and run.

This is an odd situation indeed

Guochuan Lai has told the Baggies restrictions into foreign investment from the Chinese government are stopping him repaying the £4.1million debt he owes the club.

Nasty champions league draw for Celtic against FC Sarejevo. Could be seeing them in the Europa League champions path very quickly.

Sellick should cruise through that. Would love a trip to Sarajevo though. Are Željezničar in the Europa Qualifiers?

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Can’t see their name in the draw lists.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Apparently they were denied a UEFA licence.

Shame. They have a steam train in their ground. Darlo would've loved it.

A man has been arrested on suspicion of manslaughter by an unlawful act in relation to the death of Argentine footballer Emiliano Sala.

The striker, who had signed to Cardiff City, died in a plane crash in January along with pilot David Ibbotson.

A spokesperson for Dorset Police said a 64-year-old man from North Yorkshire had been arrested and released while investigations continue.

The force added the families of the two men who died had been informed.

Wiki tells me that Willie McKay is 60

Lolz.

Although, the pedant in me says the league is showing two games played, so it's not before the season has started.

My first thought when I heard the news was "how old is WM?" too.

 

[Kenny]

Its a pilot who arranged the flight by the looks of it.

Odd charge unless he held a gun to the guy who did pilot the plane until he took off

 

[lemonjelly]

Unless it is a way of obtaining incriminating evidence on W Mckay (we can but hope!)

League Cup Rd 1

Salford v Leeds nailed on for the TV game

AFC Dons v MK Others might be a bit tasty for them as well

Met a few times over the last few years so it loses its edge for the TV. Huddersfield v Lincoln might be on so they mention 1 team was in the Prem and one in L2 last season every 5 minutes.

Oh Kenny, you cynic

Fernando Torres announces he is hanging up his boots.

Waiting for joke about thinking he did that in 2011

San Siro is going to be knocked down. New ground next door.

It's a leaky, rusting throwback but iconic all the same. Sad stuff.
