Fabrizio Romano: “I’m not aware of any contact between Sadio Mane and Chelsea at this stage. Chelsea have many wingers, their priorities are on different positions including new number 6 and new striker. Let’s see what will happen with the new coach, but for Mane decision time will not be now.”

Jurgen Klopp: "I feel a bit for Chelsea, but it’s good to see you cannot just bring loads of top players and think it works out. You have to build a team. The guys there underestimated that and gave their coaches an impossible job to do. You cannot train on two training pitches, you cannot have two dressing rooms, you have to create relationships and team spirit. Chelsea will be fine next year and be incredibly strong but just using them as an example at the highest level you cannot do that, and we will not do that at Liverpool.”

Sterling : “Performances haven’t been at the level they should, mine included. I haven’t been anywhere near my usual level”

“We want the results and winning trophies to be the main attraction for the football club like it has been for so many years”

“That’s why I came here, because of the rich history and with the new owners and new direction, it was a no-brainer. And I have no regrets at all.”

Today, three amazing undergraduate students spoke with me. They’re looking for funds to accelerate their startup. In our business, we have a policy of not investing in startups run by undergrads who have months to graduation. My thesis is simple: life is more than building companies and making money. Education is the liberation of the mind, and it is very important that many people experience that.

Young people, read it from me: do not drop out to go and build companies, in Africa, citing Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg. Bill and Mark did not drop out, they merely dropped in. In a way, they replaced mass-training professors at Harvard with private Harvard-quality professors called venture capitalists (VCs). Which one is better? A Harvard professor that asks you to pay school fees or the VC that writes you $millions and still coaches you because he wants to ensure his $millions are safe? The funding ecosystems in Nigeria are not at that level yet.

I am a TED Fellow, a World Economic Forum Young Global Leader, etc, the kind of immersive experiences in some ecosystems is a testament that using “dropout” does not do justice to what happens to these technical “dropouts”. Do not fall into the illusion: stay in school and work hard. The best companies have not been started. That university education is an internship for something big – make the best out of it. #graduate https://lnkd..in/dJDupYWT Ndubuisi Ekwekwe

Pochettino has always been held in high regard by Chelsea, maybe he didn’t have the same PR that other candidates did that were all over the media. There’s been reports of a third unnamed candidate but that’s Chelsea prerogative if they want to let person be known. (

Eintracht Frankfurt director of football Markus Krösche has ‘no intention’ of joining Chelsea this summer as he fears he would be overruled by Todd Boehly.

Chelsea have put Krösche at the top of their list of candidates to lead them going forwards.

Some funny takes here, war in reality is different from simulation games.

Thomas Frank on Chelsea's starting line up: "We were pleased they showed us so much respect. I was surprised."

FBS:
OK, the club was never going to get a new managerial bounce in the Clueless One but how come these players no fit step up and be accountable?

This is what you get when you sign players who are well to do homes, they dont care and they take every game as exercise instead of a competition to be won. Sign players from Africa, Eastern Europe, South America these ones have winning mentality

“Every slave has a beginning and an end. So, whoever's beginning is following of desires, his end will be disgrace, lowliness, deprivation, and affliction.”

Aubameyang had more shots on target in 45 minutes than any other Chelsea player did in the last 5 matches. (

We have been hiding under emotional intelligence to condone bad behavior, some things are better corrected in a non-conventional approach to deter future attempts. We are all humans and it's in nature of some humans to bully the weak and they will continue to do so if there's no fear of retaliation.

The same us that were complaining about profiling by the defunct SARS and the attendant consequences that followed suit sees no problem in labelling just because the tag is for others. We can pretend to be objective but our bias will always shine through, I'm not fooled and I know who my friends are.

Will subsidy removal lead to further fall in the Naira to dollar rate? I'm thinking importers of fuel having to source for the dollar in the black market will put more pressure on the dollar.

What do you guys think?

Bayern will not change their stance on Thomas Tuchel, no matter what happens in the Bundesliga. Summer transfer window will be planned with him in order to re-start the project next season. 🔴 #FCBayern

Bayern will be busy on the market. New striker, main priority. Fabrizio Romano

On Sudan, and why (Northern) Nigerians study there—a response to some of the condescending, sensationalising and unmistakably prejudiced hot takes trending:

1. Sudan isn’t the collapsible banana republic you assumed it is. It’s not just what you see on CNN. It’s had over a century of health professions education, long before Nigeria had its first medical school, and they have an evolved medical education system that attracts undergraduate and postgraduate medical students from across the world. They had had a university for more than half a century before Nigeria had one.

2. Northern Nigeria and Sudan haven’t only had historical interactions and cultural similarities, but Sudanese tertiary institutions also offer superior specialised training in various fields of Islamic studies. For instance, Nigeria’s former CBN Governor, Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, obtained a master’s degree in Islamic Jurisprudence at a Sudanese university in the 90s—and he’s one of the smartest public servants Nigeria has ever had. This Sudanese education you’ve portrayed with contempt guided him in reforming Islamic banking in Nigeria during his stewardship at the apex bank.

3. If your aim was to treat Sudan as a hub of substandard education in a country that rushes to French-speaking Cotonou for months-long bachelor’s degrees, that argument won’t hold water. Your stereotypical point about Sudan being a breeding ground of religious extremism is also your consumption of the wrong news channels. The last time I checked, some of the most notorious international terrorists we’ve seen were radicalised in the West, including Nigerian-born Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, who’s studying at UCL when he fell apart.

4. A few months ago, Nigerian students were rescued from Ukraine, a European country, and we didn’t see these epistles about the whys of their choices of unstable and war-prone countries to study. FYI, Ukraine is a third-world country of blue-eyed, blonde-haired people. Or is your outrage because Sudan is an African or Muslim country?

5. Even as I wrote this, there were still Nigerians from all parts of the country studying in the war-torn Ukraine and Russia, two countries locked in the deadliest war in the world right now. Why aren’t you alarmed by the presence of Nigerians in Ukraine, a country that has been at war for decades? I know this because I have friends still studying there. So, let me ask you exactly what you asked northerners: “What kind of people are these people?”

6. You know quite well the reason Nigerians rush to study abroad—this fear of studying a 5-year programme for about a decade. Ironically, Sudan, for the Nigerians there, isn’t just for the affordability of the schools—a lot of our students in Sudan are from comfortable middle-class families that pay huge sums in tuition and other fees to give their children decent education at private institutions in a culturally familiar foreign country close to their home.

7. And, yes, this environment matters to some. The alienation of adapting to a new environment isn’t an easy cultural dislocation for some, and Sudan offers these northern Muslim students that avenue to study without the culture shocks or civilisational crisis, which even cosmopolitan black students experience in the West.

8. I think some of you should take your time and read up on Sudan. If you can’t write Ukraine off as just a place of war, that ancient African country too deserves the benefit of the doubt. It’s more than its war. There are people elsewhere who also wonder why there are still people in Nigeria, believing the entire country is at war. This isn’t even the time to point fingers.

The 5million maybe Lamba but we have large numbers there I know of someone that's there and the same goes for my acquaintances. People normally go there to study they have good schools as I learnt.

When last did Chelsea scored 3 you need the guy back next season, spineless harvertz and Felix ain't the way

Let Arsenal sign him for 150m he will provide the physical presence lacking in the attack and also leadership.

Sporting Lisbon's president, Frederico Varandas, was in London on Tuesday where he met with Boehley.

Rafael Leão was the topic on the table. While he's negotiating a renewal with Milan Chelsea believe they can sign him and pay the £20m he's owing Sporting.

I'm also hearing of Barca interest in Auba and Kante

Looking like Koulibaly was a needless buy. Colwill and Chalobah with Ampadu would have served us better and for less. I read that of Auba and Kante I've been shouting that we need to let Kante go and replace him with another player that will be readily available.
