Meanwhile, Ian Rush's latest career move is all about making non league clubs homeless.

Just back from France where we had one hell of a time, experienced the whole range of emotions associated with being a football supporter, before, perhaps predictably, being sent home "Tae think again

Abingdon has two football clubs. Town are the original and then a second were founded, called "United" with disregard for what words mean.

All happening today, 

Benitez to Everton- YES good move.

Sancho to Manchester United- YES good move.

Espirito Santo to Tottenham- hmmm don't know, I wanted Benitez at Spurs.

And apparently Viera to Palace,  with half the team out of contract and Zaha possibly going,  I don't think this will end well.

Can moving to Spurs be a good move for anyone, at present?

Benitez to Everton it’s potentially a good move but doubt he will be given a chance. 
 

Sanchez to Utd jury still out not convinced he’s worth that sort of money. 
 

Espírito Santo to Spurs is the most likely of the 3 to work.

Unless Everton are in the top 4 by Christmas, I feel the Toffees fans will be calling for his P45 to be handed over, then he will have to permanently leave town.

I honestly don’t know what to think about this . He’s here now so let’s see what happens . I certainly think though that when you get a manager you’ve got to come together and support them and the team , or you’re just being totally counterproductive . I’d have been gutted mind if he’d ditched Big Dunc

This is huge, I'd imagine all the big clubs will be clamouring for his signature. His salary as a free agent will be astronomical:

Manchester City, Paris St-Germain - this is not a drill. One of the world's greatest players is now officially a free agent.

Yes, 12 months on from his aborted attempted to leave Barcelona, Lionel Messi is now out of contract.

The Argentine superstar's deal expired at midnight and despite months of rumour and conjecture, he has failed to commit to an extension.

Talks over a new contract are believed to be ongoing, meaning Messi may well decide to stay at the Nou Camp.

But, for now, he is available for absolutely nothing.

Interestingly, Hastings CEO did just tweet that they're going to announce a big deal later.

I did laugh when Rafa said yesterday he was really struggling with Big Dunc’s accent !

My club is in a real mess "thanks" to our owner 😠

It's so bad even O****d fans are sympathising with us.

I've said in the past that if I was a superstar footballer who'd earned 10s of millions over my career, I'd make a move like that towards the end of my career basically just for the banter of it!

This is happening far, far too often.

I'd be checking who owns the deeds to your ground.

Swindon Borough Council... 

 

...who have announced, today, they've start court proceedings to get unpaid rent dating back to April last year. 

The takeover is happening, apparently, but we'll see.

Good luck with it all. It's sounding all a bit tortuous.

Many rugby league teams signing five-figure shirt sponsorship deals?

And, yes, that is just for the women's shirt. The men's side has a different sponsor.

If you want to appear at the top of the pre-season football tables, just add AFC to the front of your name, this doesn't work for AFC Sunderland though.

Tickets for two matches in the women's Euro next year bought. Both at Southampton, one involving England.
