20 yrs since the Glazer takeover in May. So much since then, but this is about the weirdness & conflict of that 2004/05 period. The secretive family who came from nowhere to control #MUFC. And what the club was like before. Speaking to those who were there telegraph.co.uk/football/2025/…

Exc: Ethan Nwaneri has now signed his new five-year contract at Arsenal. Deal is fully agreed and done. Another huge boost for #AFC after Lewis-Skelly’s contract was agreed earlier this summer. @TeleFootball telegraph.co.uk/football/2025/…

#CPFC and Europa League elimination - was UEFA’s March 1 MCO deadline ever enforced with anyone else? The October email that said clubs could safely ignore it telegraph.co.uk/football/2025/…

🚨 EXCLUSIVE: The leading Man Utd executives who oversaw soaring commercial revenues and then left after Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s major cost-cutting programme have been hired by Daniel Levy Read more from @SamWallaceTel ⬇️ telegraph.co.uk/football/2025/… #THFC | #MUFC

The FIFA v UEFA/Premier League/domestic leagues battle has only just begun. No day-after congratulations to FIFA from English FA or other key Euro counterparts on Club World Cup. And we still don’t know where or when the next will be … telegraph.co.uk/football/2025/…

Nice moment: Tosin chaperones Cole Palmer for his MOM award press conf. Palmer on Trump in the trophy lift: 'We knew he was going to be here. I didn't know he was going to be on the stand when we lfited the trophy so I was a bit confused'

Donald Trump seemed to like that trophy-lift so much one suspects that if the FA put in a request he might be back to present Community Shield next month

Great win for Chelsea. Maresca got the measure of PSG. They were wide open down the left in first half and Palmer, in red-hot form, was able to find space. Even so, Chelsea could not have anticipated that PSG would crumble as they did telegraph.co.uk/football/2025/…

Enzo Maresca’s side must find a way to deploy high-energy counter-pressing in potentially searing heat to overcome the best side in Europe Find out more from @SamWallaceTel ⬇️ telegraph.co.uk/football/2025/… #CFC | #Chelsea

Marc Cucurella interview. Euro 2024 winner one year ago - and now for a Club World Cup final. Twelve months of non-stop football for the left-back. How he turned it around at Chelsea telegraph.co.uk/football/2025/…

Gianni Infantino says the Club World Cup was a ‘huge, huge, huge, success’. And if you don’t agree, just ask his friends, the ‘FIFA Legends’. As for the searing heat, empty seats and Klopp criticism - he shrugs it off. Another surreal FIFA media briefing telegraph.co.uk/football/2025/…

UEFA will change the multi-club ownership admin deadline that caught #CPFC but in the meantime it has done the governing body huge damage. Bad football regulation weakens all football regulation telegraph.co.uk/football/2025/…

Crystal Palace chairman Steve Parish has told Sky Sports the club's demotion from the Europa League to the Conference League is "probably one of the greatest injustices that has ever happened in European football" #CPFC

UEFA confirms FA Cup winners #CPFC have been removed from the Europa League in favour of Lyon (6th, Ligue 1). An absurd decision that does nothing to strengthen financial controls or MCO regs. This from Sunday explains the tangle UEFA has got into telegraph.co.uk/football/2025/…

New documents reveals scale of Eagle Football debt, including French club Olympique Lyon. Yet #CPFC still facing UEFA Europa League expulsion next week while Lyon given another reprieve by French authorities. Story with @Tom_Morgs telegraph.co.uk/football/2025/…

Joao Pedro on his former club Fluminense (and eliminating them): 'That's simple. When I was young I didn't have anything & they gave me everything. They showed me to the world. I'm here because they believe in me. I am very grateful. [But] this is football. I have to do my job'

Chelsea one game away from being ‘world champions’. Not bad considering they’re the fourth best in the PL. Whatever happen on Sunday, they’ve already banked upwards of $104m of FIFA money telegraph.co.uk/football/2025/…

Story with @mcgrathmike: Arsenal step up their long pursuit of Viktor Gyokeres and are now working to finalise a deal with Sporting. No confirmation at time of writing that this means #AFC have definitively dropped interest in Sesko (or other targets). telegraph.co.uk/football/2025/…

Martin Zubimendi is an Arsenal player. This is the full, extraordinary story of #AFC's year-long recruitment operation. Piece explains how deal was led by Edu/Ayto, the role of Merino (package deal!), Klopp/Slot, Man City fears re: Rodri + Madrid interest telegraph.co.uk/football/2025/…
