Michael Grant looks at the questions raised by the Stevens’ Inquiry. While some newspapers seem intent on writing off the latest findings I remain sure that someone is going to jail.
Gabriele Marcotti on Fabio Capello and what he suggests is his greatest triumph.
Graham Hunter on whether or not Frank Rijkaard will be back in charge of Barcelona next season.
And follows that story with this one about Chelsea’s youth development scheme. It seems to go something like this. They see a young player they like and a transfer develops.
Patrick Barclay says that a new UK government under Gordon Brown will look for tougher regulation of transfers. A 5-4 win by Dundee over Raith Rovers in 1961-62 is mentioned – I was at that game.
Congratulation to the FSR’s Carlos Machado who completed the Manitoba Marathon in a little over fours hours on Sunday.
Later in the week I plan to have a first FIFA Under-20 World Cup blog up.
I am the soccer analyst for the Fox Soccer Report and appear twice a week - every Monday and Friday at 10:00 EST. I have also been a regular contributor to the Fox Soccer Channel website since the summer of 2004. Over the last twenty years I have contributed to various radio and television programs throughout North America as well writing about the game for newspapers, magazines and websites.
Thank you to all who take time to visit this blog and especially to those of you who post your comments and thoughts.
PS - If you have questions please post them on the regular Monday blog. I am unable to answer e mails posted to the inbox on this site.
And one more thing. If you have questions or complaints or compliments about programming please contact Fox Soccer Channel or Fox Sports World Canada directly. I have no control over what the stations televise.
