    Kaoru Mitoma (Brighton)
    November 2025

    Brighton faced backlash after Mitoma and an academy player posed holding FC-style cards featuring an image resembling former Japanese Imperial Army officer Hiroo Onoda, with the post going viral in China given the historic atrocities linked to Japan’s wartime regime. The club issued a formal apology, stating they “sincerely” regretted any offence caused and distancing themselves from the imagery after the post spread widely on Weibo, triggering a PR crisis that underlined the sensitivities around using historical military figures in promotional content.

    Postecoglou linked as Celtic launch swift succession plan

    Ange Postecoglou
    October 2025

    After Brendan Rodgers’ resignation, Celtic installed Martin O’Neill as interim and drew up a shortlist featuring Ange Postecoglou, Robbie Keane, and Kieran McKenna. Despite talk of a “young manager,” board sentiment reportedly favors Postecoglou, whose prior Celtic success and fan equity could steady a dressing room amid title and European qualification pressure. Celtic’s board will weigh familiarity and fast cultural fit against Postecoglou’s recent volatility and wage demands. Any move requires compensation for staff build-out, clarity on recruitment control, and alignment on European targets. O’Neill provides cover while terms and timelines are resolved, but supporters expect urgency before the winter window planning cycle.

    Onana loan to Trabzonspor but leaves door open for Utd

    September 2025

    Onana says Manchester still feels like home; his family still remains in England while he rebuilds in Turkey. After losing his United spot to new signing Senne Lammens, the keeper keeps a 2027 contract that theoretically allows a future Old Trafford return. The arrangement softens wages and pressure while offering starts to restore confidence. If form rebounds and United’s GK picture shifts, reintegration stays conceivable; otherwise, the stint increases marketability for a sale.

    December 2025

    Ruben Amorim left Leny Yoro out of his starting eleven against West Ham and turned to Noussair Mazraoui, while giving Ayden Heaven his first start and omitting Matthijs de Ligt from the squad, insisting the decision on Yoro was a deliberate tactical call rather than punishment. After Yoro conceded a penalty at Crystal Palace and was visibly distraught on the bench, Amorim said the young defender overthinks mistakes and must handle setbacks better, praising Mason Mount’s support, stressing that Yoro remains fit and available, but that United urgently needed a different profile for a must win match.

    April 2026

    Georges Mikautadze has claimed Rayan Cherki is a better player than Lamine Yamal, arguing that the Manchester City attacker offers a more complete attacking skill set.
