An irony of Levy’s exit is that he had actually led the work to secure Vinai Venkatesham, their personal relationship helping Spurs to beat Newcastle to his services. With an experienced CEO in place, the Lewis family felt able to make their changes. cbssports.com/soccer/news/da…

One of those news moments that hits you like a bolt from the blue but maybe shouldn't have. After all, Spurs created a CEO role this summer while Donna Cullen left the club. The signs were there of change afoot. cbssports.com/soccer/news/da…

Chelsea managed to register nearly all of their new signings in the Champions League squad, Facundo Buonanotte the only major acquisition missing. Terms of UEFA settlement agreement meant Chelsea had to have a negative transfer spend on List A players (i.e. 24-25 UECL squad).

Got to see a lot of Hincapie in Leverkusen's title winning season, even if he wasn't always a lock for the XI back then. Loved him in the 4-0 over Union Berlin, so shrewd in his positioning to cover for Grimaldo and Wirtz. Plays great diagonals and is fearless in challenges.

Part of the genius of Pep Guardiola is he's prepared to change what seemed unbendable principles. So 9 years after ditching a shot stopper for a ball playing keeper, City have ditched a ball player for multiple shot stoppers. Quick thoughts on Donnarumma cbssports.com/soccer/news/wh…

I suppose it’s a sign of a smart club that Bayer Leverkusen didn’t waste time when it became clear Erik ten Hag was the wrong guy. It’s just that it does prompt questions about why you hired him in the first place.

Understand Besiktas have expressed interest in Reiss Nelson and would be prepared to offer a salary hike on his Arsenal terms. Fulham remain in the mix and Premier League believed to be more appealing but Turkish option would remain after PL window closes. cbssports.com/soccer/news/tr…

Any critique of Arteta playing a cagey gameplan would have to be levelled at Slot, who did the same — except with all his best players, at Anfield. Anything else is post hoc fallacy.
