Liverpool step up search for sporting director ahead of managerial decision

Image
Liverpool intend to appoint a new sporting director before finalising a successor to manager Jurgen Klopp, 90min understands. The Reds are on the lookout for a replacement to Klopp but are first aiming to bring in a sporting director after Jorg Schmadtke left the club following the end of the January transfer window, and there is expected to be a lot of quick movement on this front. However, sources have told 90min that there is not a frontrunner to fill the vacancy at this stage, and Liverpool even reached out to former sporting director Michael Edwards to see if he wanted to return on a consultancy basis and help find other suitable names. During an informal conversation with FSG chief and club director Mike Gordon, Edwards declined this opportunity.

Premier League manager touchline bans: How yellow cards lead to suspension

On Tim Sherwood's managerial debut as Tottenham Hotspur interim boss, he turned away from the field of play, spinning in one fluent twirl to unleash a tirade upon the fourth official. Sam Allardyce, into his second decade as a top flight coach by that point, watched on from the opposite dugout as West Ham United's manager . Before letting out a meaty chuckle, he bellowed: "You're getting the hang of it!" In the heat of a match, managers often let their emotions spill over. Unlike their players, coaches were formerly exempt from the same public punishments of yellow and red cards. Instead, they would receive a verbal caution or get sent to the stands. However, a rule change over recent years has empowered referees to thrust a slip of lamented card towards the Premier League benches. Here's everything you need to know about the mandate brought in to protect the league's beleaguered fourth officials and their colleagues. When were yellow and red cards for Pre...

Walmart manager kills 6 in Virginia in another mass slaying

Police and witnesses say a manager at a Virginia Walmart pulled out a handgun before a routine employee meeting and began firing wildly in the break room, killing six people and injuring at least six others CHESAPEAKE, Va. -- A Walmart manager pulled out a handgun before a routine employee meeting and began firing wildly around the break room of a Virginia store, killing six people in the nation’s second high-profile mass shooting in four days, police and witnesses said. The gunman was dead when officers arrived late Tuesday at the store in Chesapeake, Virginia's second-largest city. Authorities said he apparently shot himself. Police were trying to determine a motive. One employee described watching “bodies drop” as the assailant fired haphazardly, without saying a word. “He was just shooting all throughout the room. It didn’t matter who he hit. He didn’t say anything. He didn’t look at anybody in any specific type of way," Briana Tyler, a Walmart employee, said Wednesday. Si...
