Columbus, Ohio — Terry Francona informed general manager Mike Chernoff and team president Chris Antonetti that he would be leaving the position at the end of the season after 11 years in charge, which sparked the Guardians’ search for a new manager in late August. Since Francona was brought in to take Manny Acta’s place at the end of the 2012 season, the Guardians have not had to go through this exercise. How did the search begin, and how did they come across candidates like Clayton McCullough of the Los Angeles Dodgers, Stephen Vogt of Seattle, Carlos Mendoza of the…

After scoring his sixth home league goal of the season against Nottingham Forest at Anfield, Mohamed Salah has made sure that an exclusive two-man list has now grown to three. This man is unstoppable when it comes to setting record after record; the list seems never-ending at this point because of how quickly he accumulates them. It was the same on Sunday against Forest, where he scored his tenth goal of the season overall. He became just the third player in Liverpool history to score in each of the team’s first five home league games of the season, though, which…
Liverpool showed their support to Luis Diaz during a comfortable 3-0 win over Nottingham Forest. Quickfire goals from Diogo Jota and Darwin Nunez before the break and Mohamed Salah’s second-half effort helped Jurgen Klopp’s side maintain their 100 per cent home record in the Premier League this season. Jota held aloft Diaz’s number seven shirt after scoring, with the Colombian not featuring in Liverpool’s squad following reports his parents had been kidnapped in his homeland. Liverpool’s latest victory – their eighth in a row in all competitions at Anfield – was their seventh from 10 league games this campaign and…

Here, we take a look at three players that have been heavily-linked with a move to St James’ Park in recent times to assess whether they would be a good option for the Magpies and if a deal is…

Ross Stewart’s summertime sale by Sunderland was the “right” move. Kristjaan Speakman stated that he has no regrets about offloading the striker after receiving a “good offer” during the Red & White Army Q&A session. In 2021, Ross Stewart left Ross County to join Sunderland for a fee of less than £3,000,000. Charlie Wyke was the Scot’s backup at first, but Stewart took over after his old teammate moved to Wigan Athletic. With an amazing 26 goals in 49 games, the “important” 27-year-old was a major factor in Sunderland’s promotion to the Championship. Stewart scored 10 goals in just 13…
Arsenal and Fulham, two Premier League teams, may show interest in Southampton’s Kyle Walker-Peters, which could hurt their chances of getting promoted. With two assists this season, Walker-Peters is a gifted offensive fullback who is among the best in the Championship. Walker-Peters’ sale for less than £20 million might be bad for Southampton’s team spirit and could make it harder for them to place in the top six. Southampton may need to prepare for additional interest from Premier League teams Arsenal and Fulham in January regarding one of their important assets. Kyle Walker-Peters was linked to Arsenal during the summer,…
An injury setback has been suffered by Nottingham Forest ahead of their match against Liverpool at Anfield. Due to a hamstring issue, Chris Wood, the striker, will miss the Premier League game on Merseyside. Steve Cooper, the head coach, announced that he would be out “for a little while.” Wood’s injury reduces Cooper’s options for attack even more. Callum Hudson-Odoi, a winger, and forward Divock Origi were already out for the Reds. In an attempt to recover from a groin issue, front man Taiwo Awoniyi makes a welcome comeback to the bench. Additionally, Anthony Elanga has bounced back from illness…
The Reds have had a generally successful start to the season, but Steve Cooper’s team has lost their last five games. But, if Cooper’s team is to win all three points at Anfield, they will need to make history as Forest hasn’t defeated the Merseysiders there since February 1969. Liverpool, on the other hand, is emerging as a serious contender for the Premier League title this year following a dismal 2022–2023 campaign in which they placed fifth. With one more game under their belt than league leaders Tottenham, Jurgen Klopp’s team enters the match on Sunday six points behind the…
