'A pressure penalty'

Man Utd 2-2 Liverpool

Clinton Morrison

I knew straight away that Aaron Wan-Bissaka doesn't need to do that, it's good quick feet from Harvey Elliott

A good penalty from Mo Salah, a pressure penalty in a big football match.
 


Get in well done United clapa

Former Wimbledon and Newcastle United manager Joe Kinnear has died at the age of 77.

Kinnear, who also managed Luton and Nottingham Forest, was diagnosed with dementia in 2015.
His family said in a statement: "We are sad to announce that Joe passed away peacefully this afternoon surrounded by his family."

Dublin-born Kinnear won 26 caps for the Republic of Ireland during his 11-year playing career.

He started his career with Tottenham and made 258 appearances for the club, scoring twice in 10 seasons in north London.

Kinnear won the FA Cup, the League Cup twice and the Uefa Cup at Spurs.

He joined Brighton in 1975, but retired after just one season on the south coast when a knee injury curtailed his career.

Kinnear's first role in management was with India's national side in 1983, before a stint with Nepal in 1987.

He returned to English football with Doncaster Rovers in March 1989 but left at the end of the season having won just once in 11 matches.

Kinnear's next role came with Wimbledon two-and-a-half-years later and he would spend more than seven years in south-west London.

Inheriting the 'Crazy Gang' in January 1992, Kinnear guided Wimbledon to a sixth-place finish in his second full season in charge at the club, helping him to win the 1994 LMA Manager of the Year award.

He registered two further top-10 finishes in the Premier League, but suffered a heart attack in March 1999 that saw him step away from the club.

Everton have been deducted two points for a second breach of Premier League financial rules.

Profit and sustainability rules (PSR) permit clubs to lose £105m over three years and an independent commission found Everton breached that by £16.6m for the three-year period to 2022-23.
They drop one place to 16th and are now two points above the relegation zone.

The Toffees had a 10-point deduction reduced to six on appeal in February for the three-year period to 2021-22.

Everton say the club will appeal the decision.

In its written reasons the independent commission said the Premier League had asked for a five-point deduction for the club.

The commission decided that any breach of PSR justifies a three-point deduction, with an additional two points because Everton's breach of £16.6m - 15.8% above the £105m threshold - is deemed significant.

However, the commission accepted Everton's arguments for mitigation in relation to the fact the club has:

  • Already been deducted points this season
  • Suffered a loss of revenue because of the suspension of a sponsorship deal with Russian company USM
  • Made an early admission of guilt
The commission concluded that the fact Everton have already been punished this season merits a two-point reduction in punishment, with a further point for the loss of sponsorship revenue and early admission of guilt.

An Everton statement read: "While the club's position has been that no further sanction was appropriate, the club is pleased to see that the commission has given credit to the majority of the issues raised by the club, including the concept of double punishment, the significant mitigating circumstances facing the club due to the war in Ukraine, and the high level of co-operation and early admission of the club's breach."

The Toffees added that the club is "extremely concerned" at the "inconsistency" of the punishments, with four different commissions issuing four different points deductions this season.

Nottingham Forest are the other Premier League club to have been charged with PSR breaches this season and were docked four points in March, although they have lodged an appeal.

Championship club Leicester have also been charged by the Premier League for allegedly breaking spending rules during their last three seasons in the top flight.

There is no guarantee that Everton's appeal will be heard before the final games of the Premier League season on 19 May when Everton travel to Arsenal.

The 2023-24 season technically remains 'live' until the annual general meeting in June when relegated clubs transfer their certificates and 24 May has been selected as a 'backstop date' for the appeals process to be concluded.

Everton in transition​

This second deduction comes at a time of significant uncertainty at Everton.

The club released their accounts covering the 2022-23 season on 31 March, reporting financial losses of £89.1m.

In September, owner Farhad Moshiri agreed to sell his 94% stake in the club to American investment fund 777 Partners. The takeover is going through the regulatory processes and the club is still awaiting for that to be approved by the Premier League.

Everton are also in the process of building a new stadium on the banks of the River Mersey at Bramley-Moore Dock, which is due to open in late 2024.

'Palace have been outstanding'​

Munoz, Mitchell, Lerma, Andersen and Clyne, when he was on, the back five have been outstanding.
Hughes and Wharton in midfield, Eze and Olise going forward.
They have been outstanding and they have had to be resolute in this second half.

---------------------------

FULL-TIME​

It's all over at Anfield.
Liverpool players hang their heads, they know what this means.

Liverpool fans phoning 5 live saying Klop shouldn't have announced he was leaving as it has put pressure on the team, Sutton asked one "when they were on their winning run in the league and carabou cup and they were throwing the kids in did they have the same mindset" the fan said he has not changed his mind, should Klop have kept it to himself until the end of the season?

I'm not going to Google because i'm trying to work this out with my wife but didn't Ferguson once resign from Man Utd before the season ended and then change his mind at the end of the season, pretty sure there season went **** up too. Could be wrong though.

I'm sure in an ideal world they would have kept it secret but nowadays nothing stays secret for long. Especially as for the clubs sake the longer they can spend looking for another manager the better.

It's to right thing to do, like handing your notice in. It allows the club to find a suitable replacement. If he wins the league he's a hero and the players all stepped up to give him a send off. If the team flops it's his fault for saying he's leaving. The media will spin it either way. He will be impossible to replace, look at united after Ferguson or the Liverpool team of the late 80s early 90s.

Brave man to take it on thats for sure. Maybe Allardyce for a season just to take the pressure off the next manager?
