Football: United confirm huge Mourinho payoff; 'Class of 92' coach Harrison dies aged 81

LONDON (AFP) - Manchester United revealed on Thursday (Feb 14) that sacking Jose Mourinho cost the club nearly £20 million (S$34.8 million), with executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward hailing the impact of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
The sum of £19.6 million which is listed under "exceptional items" in the club's second-quarter results, includes payouts for the members of Mourinho's staff who left with him after he was sacked in December.
The fortunes of the Premier League club have been transformed since Solskjaer took the helm as interim boss.
United are now in the top four after being 11 points adrift of the Champions League places when Mourinho left.
"The appointment of Ole and Mike (Phelan) as caretaker manager and assistant manager has had a positive impact throughout the club," said Woodward.
"We are delighted with the improvement in the team's performances since December and we look forward to a strong finish to the 18-19 season."
In the report, the club announced record revenues of £208.6 million for the quarter, which translate into earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation of £104.3 million and an operating profit of £44 million.

 
 
Real Madrid last month knocked Manchester United off the top of Deloitte's Football Money League after two years at the top for the Premier League club.
Meanwhile, Eric Harrison, the former youth team coach of United's 'Class of 92', which included David Beckham and Ryan Giggs, has died aged 81, the club announced on Thursday.
Harrison, who helped forge the fledgling careers of Beckham, Giggs, Nicky Butt, Paul Scholes and Gary and Phil Neville, was diagnosed with dementia four years ago.

Arsenal news: Wojciech Szczesny slams ‘extremely arrogant’ Robin van Persie and says Samir Nasri thought he was a ‘gansgster’

Arsenal news: Wojciech Szczesny slams ‘extremely arrogant’ Robin van Persie and says Samir Nasri thought he was a ‘gansgster’

Former Arsenal goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny has described Robin van Persie as ‘extremely arrogant’ while also sharing his feelings on Samir Nasri and Alexander Hleb in a wide ranging interview.


Szczesny spent eight seasons with the Gunners, before leaving permanently for Juventus in 2017, while Van Persie swapped the Emirates for Old Trafford to join Manchester United in 2012.





Szczesny has labelled Van Persie as ‘arrogant’

Szczesny has labelled Van Persie as ‘arrogant’



Despite the Dutchman contributing significantly to United winning the Premier League in his debut season, by finishing on 26 goals to earn the Golden Boot, Szczesny felt the striker, who now plays for Feyenoord in his native Holland, would have achieved more had he stayed with Arsenal.


“He could have made other decisions and achieved lots more at Arsenal,” he told Foot Truck.


“He’s extremely arrogant – sometimes.















“I have to admit, he left for Manchester United and the following year won a title.


“However after that, he got benched, moved to Turkey and his big career ended.”





The goalkeeper said Nasri thought he was a ‘gangster’

The Poland international also did not hold back when speaking of Arsenal’s ex-midfield pair Nasri and Hleb.


Szczesny said: “Nasri always thought he was some kind of gangster.


“Everyone has this guy at school, who had strong and big friends and it made him think he was cool.”

On Hleb he said: “‘He could have achieved more in football. He still had a great career but he liked to drink.”


Szczesny was on the bench as Juventus fell to their first Serie A defeat of the season on Sunday, losing 2-0 to Genoa.


Nonetheless, the Turin club remain 15 points clear at the top of Serie A.





Wojciech Szczesny gave a less than complimentary appraisal of his "extremely arrogant" former Arsenal team-mate Robin van Persie. The 28-year-old goalkeeper came through Arsenal's youth ranks and established himself as the number one at the Emirates Stadium, while winning two FA Cups and the Premier League Golden Glove award with Petr Cech.

How Newcastle United could line up next season if Rafael Benitez gets financial backing in the transfer market

How Newcastle United could line up next season if Rafael Benitez gets financial backing in the transfer market

Rafael Benitez has worked wonders at Newcastle United since taking over in 2016.


Although he could not prevent the Magpies from slipping into the Championship, his first full season saw the club make an instant return to the Premier League.





Rafael Benitez will be out of contract at the end of the season

Rafael Benitez will be out of contract at the end of the season



After keeping the club up last year, Benitez is agonisingly close to repeating the feat.


Friday night’s win over Leicester City means Newcastle require just one more win to secure top-flight football next season.


However, the Spaniard is in danger of not having his ambition matched by the north-east giants.


According to The Times, Mike Ashley is in no rush to provide the former Chelsea boss with the funds he feels are necessary to compete.





Mike Ashley and Lee Charnley are yet to give Rafael Benitez a new deal

Mike Ashley and Lee Charnley are yet to give Rafael Benitez a new deal



The 59-year-old provided Ashley with a wish list in the week before the game against Arsenal on April 1, but is still yet to hear a response.


With his contract up in May, the clock is ticking for Benitez.


However, the confusion has not stopped the transfer rumour mill from churning out some juicy gossip concerning the ‘Toon Army’.


According to the Daily Star, Bournemouth duo Ryan Fraser and David Brooks are on Newcastle’s radar along with Burnley wonderkid Dwight McNeil.





Brooks and Fraser have starred for Bournemouth this season

Of course, this is pure speculation and likely to depend on Benitez staying at the club.


But, should the Magpies keep the Spaniard and back him in the transfer market, they will have quite the side.


So how could Newcastle United line up next season? Scroll down to see how talkSPORT.com believes they *could* look next season.


Since the turn of the year, Benitez has opted for a back five system which relies on attacking wing backs to bomb forward and provide forward.





Dwight McNeil has enjoyed a spectacular break out season

Dwight McNeil has enjoyed a spectacular break out season



But with Matt Ritchie reportedly free to leave in the summer, the club could lose one of their most integral members.


During his time at the Vitality Stadium, Fraser has played in both a right and left wing-back role to devastating effect.


With Ritchie potentially on his way out, the Scot could fit seamlessly into his role.


With Brooks potentially pulling the strings in the No.10 role, Dwight McNeil could excel.















The Burnley winger has blistering speed, tricky feet and has a penchant for scoring goals.


Naturally left-footed, the 19-year-old could excel by cutting inside from the right if he swaps with January signing Miguel Almiron.


So how could it all look? Check out this graphic for a potential starting XI for next season.

Tottenham new stadium latest: Spurs to ‘suspend fans who resell tickets’ for opening match with pair going for £1,200 on social media

Tottenham new stadium latest: Spurs to ‘suspend fans who resell tickets’ for opening match with pair going for £1,200 on social media

Tottenham have warned supporters they could have their season tickets suspended if discovered trying to profit from the club’s move to their new stadium.


Spurs will finally move into the £1billion structure next month, with Crystal Palace visiting the ‘Tottenham Hotspur Stadium’ on April 3 as the first official fixture.





Tottenham’s new stadium will finally open next month

Tottenham’s new stadium will finally open next month



They will then take on Manchester City in the Champions League quarter-finals a week later, with four further Premier League home matches remaining before the end of the season.


The north London club have already confirmed they are freezing season ticket prices for 2019/20 – their first full campaign at the new ground – but some people could find their tickets suspended if found guilty of selling their seats for next month’s Crystal Palace clash.


Tottenham are aware of some supporters listing their tickets for sale on social media, with the Telegraph reporting on one advert which lists two tickets for £1,200.


And Spurs have threatened to punish supporters who breach the club’s terms and conditions apropos the buying of tickets.















A Tottenham spokesperson said: “Season-ticket holders or anyone else selling their tickets on social-media platforms and other unofficial websites are in breach of the club’s terms and conditions, therefore leaving themselves liable to having their accounts suspended.


“The only official way to transfer tickets is via Ticket Exchange or Ticket Share which become operational on the date tickets go on sale.”

Tottenham’s Ticket Exchange is for the selling of tickets at face value for any match a ticket holder cannot attend, while Ticket Share allows a nominated individual to use a season ticket holder’s ticket.


Spurs originally planned to move into their new stadium last September, but various delays have pushed the opening date back by almost seven months.

A penalty from Mohamed Salah and a late Divock Origi strike sealed a historic victory for the Reds and gave Klopp his first trophy with the Anfield club.


And amidst the wild celebrations inside the Wanda Metropolitano, Klopp received a phone call from Guardiola congratulating him on his European triumph.


“A second ago I spoke to Pep Guardiola on the phone,” Klopp said in his post-match conference. “Our head physio worked for Manchester City at the start of the year but he wanted to win the Champions League… no, it’s a joke!”












“We promised each other that we will kick each other’s butts again next season,” he added. “We will go for everything and see what we get.


“Getting 97 points in the Premier League and winning the Champions League is an unbelievable long way to go and we did it. That’s incredible.


“Now we’ve won something, we will carry on. We will win things. That is big. I am really happy.”

“There are always a couple of people who can tell you ‘yeah but they didn’t win’”, he said in an interview with Norwegian TV channel Via Sport.


“So now, let’s talk about six baby. Let’s talk about you and me. Let’s talk about all the good things and the bad things that may be. Let’s talk about six.”
