I went to Derry to interview James McClean. We spoke about how his refusal to wear the poppy changed his life, his troubled years in England, his mistakes & 103 caps, an eating disorder, his suspicion of doping in the Premier League & his love of boxing theguardian.com/football/202…

I hadn’t realised this included the main @Wolves ⚽️ reporter job at the @ExpressandStar in Wolverhampton. It’s a big sports journalism job in a one-club city. Great opportunity for someone who’s highly motivated, wants to make a difference. #journalism #wwfc @theofficialfwa ✍🏻

#WatfordFC are in freefall. Sir Elton John has waded in to admit he’s “very upset” with the decline of his beloved club. Head coach Alessio Dionisi is still standing, for now, but issues run deeper than him (12 managers in 5 years 🤯) Special report 🐝 telegraph.co.uk/football/202…

Warning: Distressing and graphic language A Reform councillor from South London has been recorded calling for King Charles to be decapitated because he “is a Muslim”, while another senior Reform councillor from Solihull said of Asian people: “drag out of their homes, stick them on planes and **** them off to Pakistan.” It’s part of an undercover investigation by ITV Exposure into Nigel Farage’s Reform UK. Councillor Dean Miller told us he was heavily medicated at the time due to a chronic pain condition and has since resigned from Reform. Councillor Raymond Dunning did not respond to our request for comment. In a statement shared with ITV News, Reform UK said "Where members, activists and councillors have clearly behaved inappropriately, investigations have commenced. In some cases, there have been suspensions and due process must be followed." "Reform UK has improved and prioritised its vetting procedures, but from time to time, a handful of individuals who do not share our values will initially make it through vetting. This is the same for all organisations." Watch ‘Undercover: A Year in Reform’ on ITV1 & ITVX from 10:20pm on Sunday

What happened to Youssoufa Moukoko? A sensation at Borussia Dortmund, his career is meandering. There is a curious theory there that his unfulfilled potential is partly because he was allowed to score the ‘wrong’ type of goals in academy football… skysports.com/football/news/…

Another shout for this as football scratches its collective head at the mess it has created and wonders where it all went wrong, without once glancing in the mirror. chrislepkowski.substack.com/…
IFR's 'State of the Game' is an outstanding work of great depth, one which plucks up courage to say what too many have shied away from for too long: English football is ruinously hooked on spending and urgent action is needed Anyone who cares about football should read and heed
