Big news: Sarina Wiegman signs new England contract through to 2029. Great news for the FA, and probably quite a relief, too.

“We’ve heard a lot of strange things and now we want answers.” 🥊 I spent 5 hours with Ricky Hatton’s grieving family last week. They have a lot of unanswered questions and one has been stonewalled at every turn: What happened to his money? Read ⬇️ dailymail.com/sport/boxing/a…

RICKY HATTON'S MISSING MILLIONS: What happened to late boxer's '£40m'?

There's a small statue of a boxer in Ray and Carol Hatton's home. Perched on a table by the front door, the clay figurine of their son is nine inches tall and evokes a sadness impossible to measure.

Southampton boss Tonda Eckert escapes a ban for his role in "Spygate" - he's got a six-week suspended ban and a £28,000 fine. Southampton say the FA hearing was positive but remain fuming with the EFL: "The way they have subsequently treated us is not something we will forget."

FT 0-7 Croatia's biggest-ever defeat. England were magnificent from start to finish. Tuchel needed a performance and result to help move everybody on from the summer and while Euro 2028 is the ultimate reckoning, this is a stunning statement.
