WHAT HAPPENED?
Palace, who stunned Manchester City in the 2025 FA Cup final, faced the threat of being removed from the Europa League next season due to being in breach of UEFA’s multi-club ownership rules. Textor held a 45 per cent stake in the Eagles while also overseeing events at Ligue 1 outfit Lyon, who are also due to take part in the Europa League. However, Textor has struck a deal with Woody Johnson, who owns the Jets NFL franchise, to buy his stake in the English team.

WHAT TEXTOR SAID
That does not mean his involvement in English football is over, though, as he told : "We now have to look at our strategy in the UK, which we need to study. What will our new club be? Who will we buy there? What will the partnership be like? Because it is this collaboration between clubs that has been very successful for us. We have obviously done a good job here. And at Lyon, I am very proud, we had a team that was relegated. They had not been to the Europa League for a while, we brought them back for two years in a row."
THE BIGGER PICTURE
Lyon's relegation from Ligue 1 to Ligue 2 has sparked an angry reaction in France, with the team's supporters coming out to protest against Textor on Saturday. He has opted to step away from the club, confirming his desire to focus more on Brazilian club Botafogo.
He said: "I'm going to spend a lot more time thinking about Eagle globally, coming back to Botafogo more. I have great partners in Eagle Football Group, shareholders who are going to step up to deal with issues that I honestly wasn't very good at dealing with in France. I'm looking forward to reconnecting with Brazil. We're going to be fine there [in France]. We're going to put a strong face there.
"It's clear that I was better on the field when dealing with France. I didn't do so well in politics in France, that's well known. The process for me, as an American investor, to adapt to the system there has always been strange. But we are very well capitalised. We are going to invest a significant amount of money, we just sold Crystal Palace. We certainly don't have any financial difficulties; we've never had so much liquidity. But in the process, I did some things that disappointed the regulatory bodies there and we need to fix that."

Take a look at Norway's squad and, on paper, they could be a dark horse for any tournament. With representatives from Barcelona, Lyon, Bayern Munich, Chelsea and Arsenal, among others, and some of the very best players on the planet within their ranks, this is a team that one would expect to be a regular in the knockout stages at major tournaments. Yet, in the words of Caroline Graham Hansen at the 2023 Women's World Cup, Norway "go from championship to championship and underperform".
Those comments from the Barca winger came after Norway had suffered a shock defeat to New Zealand in the opening fixture of that tournament. It was the Football Ferns' first-ever World Cup win. "We can't do anything. Then it's a loss," Graham Hansen added, in one of many short and understandably frustrated answers to .
Drawn alongside New Zealand, Switzerland and the Philippines, Norway were expected to storm out of the group and have themselves a strong tournament for the first time in a while. Instead, they qualified in second and were comfortably beaten by Japan in the last 16.
There are parallels to that World Cup at this summer's European Championship, where Norway will once again, despite recent failures, go into their group as the heavy favourites to finish top. Alongside hosts Switzerland, who have never made it to the knockouts at the Euros; Iceland, who have one win in this competition in their history; and Finland, who haven't progressed to a quarter-final since their home Euros in 2009; this is a big opportunity for a squad boasting players like Graham Hansen and Ballon d'Or winner Ada Hegerberg. But will they take it?

Top quality squad
It's hard to overstate just how many good individuals are in this Norway team, and it feels important to highlight when discussing their surprising shortcomings. Hegerberg and Graham Hansen are the two stand-out stars, the former a six-time European champion and the all-time top goal-scorer in Women's Champions League history, the latter a three-time Champions League winner who finished as runner-up in the Ballon d'Or voting last year.
But it's easy to pick out so many other names in Gemma Grainger's squad, too. Frida Maanum and Ingrid Engen are also Champions League winners, Maanum just this year with Arsenal and Engen twice with Barca; Guro Reiten has been a stalwart in a Chelsea side that has dominated England for the last five years, helping them win the treble last term; Tuva Hansen was another player who picked up three trophies this past season, at Bayern Munich.
Throw in the Atletico Madrid duo of Vilde Boe Risa and Synne Jensen and the Manchester United trio of Elisabeth Terland, Lisa Naalsund and Celin Bizet and there is no shortage of top-level talent in Norway. Signe Gaupset is one of the most exciting teenagers on the planet, too.

Over a decade of disappointment
This has rarely translated to international success, though. When Norway reached the final of Euro 2013, there was understandable excitement about the future. After all, both Hegerberg and Graham Hansen were still just 18 years old, with future Chelsea captain Maren Mjelde, who is still part of the team today, named to the Squad of the Tournament.
They've struggled to hit those heights since, though. The next two European Championships have seen Norway fail to get out of the group stage, with the lowlight of those two tournaments certainly the 8-0 thumping at the hands of England in 2022. At the World Cup, the last 16 was as far as the Scandinavian nation would go at the 2015 and 2023 editions, with a quarter-final in 2019 the highlight of the last 12 years for a team with the talent to do much more.
Getty
Chaos and crisis
The 2023 Women's World Cup was particularly disappointing. Given Norway went into that tournament with Hegerberg back in the squad, having declared herself unavailable until improvements were made within the national team some six years earlier, her return felt like a sign that progress was being made. But the summer was characterised by chaos and crisis.
There were issues that weren't necessarily under the control of head coach Hege Riise, such as the lack of real defensive depth, but there were decisions made by the former England interim boss that certainly raised eyebrows, such as when she dropped Graham Hansen for Norway's second game, which ended in a draw that put the team in serious danger of going out in the group stages, and her persistence on playing Reiten centrally rather than out wide.
It all came to a head the day before Norway's final group-stage game when reported that several players in the squad had reacted strongly to Riise's leadership style at the tournament, with them unhappy at the "lack of match management, unclear messages, few concrete measures and feedback when Plan A does not work", among other things.
Unsurprisingly, despite Norway winning that final group game to progress to the last 16, Riise left her role following the 3-1 loss to Japan in the knockout stages.

New guidance
The identity of Riise's successor was something of a surprise, but Grainger certainly ticked the external box that many Norway players reportedly wanted when Riise was appointed. Having come through the England youth set-up, the 42-year-old had spent the previous three years in charge of Wales, whom she couldn't steer to a first major tournament despite coming close.
Grainger admitted at the time that she had "no intention" to leave her post with Wales, but that Norway presented her with "an unexpected opportunity" that she "could not turn down". Given the incredible quality in the Norway squad and the potential this team has to take serious leaps on the continental and world stages, her reasoning made sense.
Bayer Leverkusen sporting director Simon Rolfes has opened up on how Liverpool beat Bayern Munich and Manchester City to secure the transfer for German sensation Florian Wirtz this summer. Wirtz opted to move to Anfield for a British record transfer fee of £116 million ($159m) despite strong interest from Bundesliga champions Bayern and the Cityzens.

WHAT HAPPENED?
Rolfes heaped praise on the Liverpool management for handling the entire process with utmost professionalism, while claiming the player was convinced of joining the English champions back in May. The sporting director further claimed that the German side were aware since February this year that the player had decided to move out of the club, although Leverkusen wanted him to stay at least for one more year.

WHAT ROLFES SAID
Speaking to , the Leverkusen official said: "Florian's requirement was that everyone be comfortable with the move. He told us, literally, that he hoped Bayer 04 would also be happy with the result. There wasn't a single moment (where we realised he wanted to leave), but rather a development. Our goal was to extend Florian's contract and keep him for at least another year. Gradually, we sensed that he was more interested in making a move. Starting in February and March, the discussions focused more on other clubs and other leagues. We always knew what he thought. We knew from the parents who they were talking to. The clubs from abroad (including Liverpool and Manchester City) also informed us, and they handled the matter in a highly professional and serious manner.
"In May, he told us that he had decided to join Liverpool FC. I believe he's a very good fit for Liverpool. The club has treated him very seriously. Florian was made to understand that they know exactly why they want him. This approach was a very important aspect of the overall package for him. All the clubs that had contacted us in advance were clear about the region in which the transfer would take place. We only negotiated with Liverpool after Florian told us that was his preferred club. It was clear to me from the beginning of the negotiations that it would work out. Of course, everyone is fighting for their position, but it was always respectful. The people at both clubs know each other so well that a face-to-face meeting was not necessary. We handled the transaction over the phone, via email, and via video conference."

THE BIGGER PICTURE
Rolfes added: "We as a club can be just as proud of it as Florian. We signed him at the beginning of 2020 at the age of 16 and built a very trusting relationship with him and his parents. He has matured into a global star with us. With his style of training, playing style, and his ambition, he has managed to take the club to a new level in the last five and a half years, together with the other players. He himself has improved every year. He's 22 now, and he's matured into a person who made this decision on his own. It's important that he stands behind his decision 100 percent."

WHAT WAS SAID
The tattoo studio wrote: "Some bonds are beyond football. This one’s forever. From teammates to brothers. From Greece to England. From dreams to Anfield. They rose together.
"They laughed, fought, worked, and lived the moments most can only dream of. Until fate decided to stop one of them far too soon. This tattoo is not just a tribute. It’s a piece of love, pain, memory — carved in silence, worn with pride.
"Rest easy, Jota. You’ll never walk alone. Thank you for trusting us with something so sacred, @tsimikas21. We are honored."
Tsimikas also paid tribute to Jota on Instagram, writing: "We’ve moved to the club the same period. We were the new boys in the city. We’ve shared and celebrated some of our best moments of our careers together. Before one of our last ones you’ve said to me “You cross, I score” and that’s what happened. We laughed and we talked about lots.
"You were a special player,a special guy,a true legend Diogo. You’ll always be remembered and always be loved.
"My heart and my prayers are with your Rute, your boys, your little girl, your family and everyone who loved and waited for you both to go home. You and your brother André will be missed forever."

While many are daring to dream of a fourth consecutive promotion to realise their Premier League dream, Parkinson is cautious. He recognises that sustaining momentum after such rapid progress will be difficult and warns that the squad may encounter its limits in the Championship.
WHAT PARKINSON SAID
"I think it's a great league," Parkinson said. "Every game feels like a real big match atmosphere. Understand the division, you can get on a good run, but you can very quickly be on a bad run and it can change quickly. Over the years the division is so tight, right to the end of the season. Last season so many teams were in contention for the play-offs.
"It is very tight. If we get beat in games, which inevitably will happen, let's make sure we don't overreact as a staff, regroup and work towards the next one. That's the mindset we had last year, we had setbacks along the way, people doubting us. People think with three promotions we've had praise all the time and plaudits, but we've had periods where people start questioning me as a manager, questioning the players. You come through these periods and there's always a bigger picture to look at."

Milan’s shock 2-1 defeat to newly promoted Cremonese in their Serie A opener exposed the lack of attacking depth in Massimiliano Allegri’s side. The Rossoneri are desperate for reinforcements but need sales first to raise funds. Yunus Musah is also among the names linked with a possible exit, while Chukwueze is also among the likely outgoers. The Nigerian has made 70 appearances for Milan, scoring eight goals and providing six assists.

Chukwueze’s departure could also shape Milan’s midfield plans, with the club even looking at Marseille's ousted Adrien Rabiot. For now though, the main focus is on getting the Fulham deal over the line before the window shuts.
