🚨 Super League clubs are plotting to overthrow RFL chairman Simon Johnson 🏉 Exclusive by @johnnyddavidson.bsky.social #SuperLeague inews.co.uk/sport/rugby-...

The majority of Super League clubs are seeking to wrest back control of the Rugby Football League by installing Bradford Bulls part-owner Nigel Wood to replace Simon Johnson as the governing body’s chairman as part of a major coup. inews.co.uk/sport/rugby-...

I went to Blackpool. Supporters told me that I had to write about a town that is struggling with poverty and deprivation, and an organisation leading the fight against them. @blackpoolfc.bsky.social @bfcct.bsky.social inews.co.uk/sport/footba...

I went to Barrow AFC, surely the Football League club that relies most upon volunteers. I wanted to come here and give them the floor. A world away from the Premier League, this is a special place with special people. inews.co.uk/sport/footba...

In the age of the hipster club, Leyton Orient are in a unique position for growth 📈 ⚽️ Big read by @kevingarside.bsky.social #LOFC #FACup inews.co.uk/sport/footba...

If there are a level of clubs that act as a stepping stone up to the elite - a Brighton, a Bournemouth, an Everton - Manchester United have become a step down: a place to languish miserably for a few years before finding a demotion elsewhere. #MUFC @ipapersport.bsky.social

Forget Wrexham, Leyton Orient are the new darlings of America shorturl.at/vbItN

Manchester United has become a black hole for managers

One second this Chinese AI was giving me a detailed answer about Peng Shuai, then five seconds later, it censored itself and deleted it. I asked large language model DeepSeek about Peng Shuai - and it did not surprise but did shock me with its answers. inews.co.uk/sport/tennis...

The question that DeepSeek refuses to answer: "Where is Peng Shuai?" ✍️ @jamesgraysmith.bsky.social investigates inews.co.uk/sport/tennis...

I went to Rotherham United, a tale of two stadiums and a club that finds itself in an impossible situation. The question: is any of this really on them, or is it on English football? inews.co.uk/sport/footba...

I wanted to spend a matchday during a transfer window behind the scenes at a club, shadowing a CEO and Director of Football. Lincoln City let me tell the whole story. It was quite the occasion. inews.co.uk/sport/footba...

Why have Spurs not signed a single outfield player this January? A look at some of the reasons behind that thinking, despite 12 players currently out and Ange Postecoglou warning #thfc they are 'playing with fire' without new additions inews.co.uk/sport/footba...

I went to Bristol City, who by most measures should have expected Premier League football by now. The unfulfilled football potential of this city, and this club, is a cause for great wonder. inews.co.uk/sport/footba...

Bristol City have all the ingredients for Premier League football except one. The Robins should have expected to be in the top flight by now. Their unfulfilled potential is a cause for great wonder, and a desperation among the fanbase, writes @danielstorey85.bsky.social ✍️

🕒 In the Spurs shop, you can buy this ornament for £80 - but the description warns you: "Please note this is not a working clock” ⚽️ It feels symbolic of Tottenham right now. Please note this is not a working football club... #COYS By me for @ipapersport.bsky.social: inews.co.uk/sport/footba...

👍 Lots of space, easy to watch Brits 👎 Fans making... noises Attending #AusOpen as a fan was enlightening - it helped me realise what makes Wimbledon great, but what it really, really lacks as well And it's something they are trying to address... inews.co.uk/sport/tennis...

Margaret Court will be at the Australian Open's Pride Day despite her anti-LGBT+ campaigning 🗣️ "She's irrelevant now. Everyone is welcome, which means Margaret Court as well. It's a surprise she's there but she's welcome." inews.co.uk/sport/tennis...

🎾 "Everyone is welcome at the Australian Open, which means Margaret Court as well. It's a bit of a surprise that she's there [on Pride Day], but she's welcome" - Rowen D'Souza ✍️ @jamesgraysmith.bsky.social, @ipapersport.bsky.social #AO2025 #AOPrideDay #LGBTennis #GlamSlam

Alejandro Garnacho is edging towards a Manchester United exit. Napoli are leading the race, but don’t discount Chelsea. £50m plus add ons should do it. A quick deal will give #MUFC money to spend going into final week of the window. inews.co.uk/sport/footba...

I went to West Ham, who increasingly resemble a black hole where a football club used to stand. Once there was great anger, now there is disengagement. It has to change. inews.co.uk/sport/footba...

“Law’s passing reminds us that affirmation is not just about numbers. It’s about emotion, how a player makes you feel.” ❤️ ✍️ @kevingarside.bsky.social pays tribute to Denis Law #MUFC

Fulham's hunt for suits and suitors has alienated the people who really matter - the fans 😡 @danielstorey85.bsky.social visits Craven Cottage for the latest Doing the 92 🏟️ #FFC

I went to Fulham, a football club that wants to grow and build their revenue. They really need to find a way of doing it that doesn't alienate matchgoing supporters and puts to an end this low-level civil war inews.co.uk/sport/footba...

I went to Wycombe Wanderers, where a Georgian-Kazakh tech billionaire is aiming to defy preconceptions by rebuilding a football club from the bottom up. This is going to be a fascinating story to follow (even before the manager leaves). inews.co.uk/sport/footba...

Wycombe Wanderers' new owner has billions of pounds. 🤑 He is choosing to spend it on a training ground and an academy to make this last forever. 🙏 ✍️ @danielstorey85.bsky.social reports

🔪 Murder 💰 Burglaries 📉 Losing every week @samcunningham.bsky.social explores life at the bottom of the football pyramid ⬇️

Murder, burglaries, losing every week: went to find out what life is like at the bottom of the football pyramid and found, at possibly the worst team in the country, a story of survival, unfair relegations and an undying love for the game
