Newcastle confirm Ross Wilson as sporting director. He joins from Nottingham Forest after #NUFC triggered his release clause.⚫️
🗣️ Wilson: "This is such a special club, and I fully understand the passion, ambition and expectations of our incredible supporters, as well as the ambition of our owners.”
🗣️ Sir Jim Ratcliffe tells The Times that Ruben Amorim should be judged over three years. "He's not had the best of seasons. Ruben needs to demonstrate he's a great coach over three years. That’s where I'd be."
🗣️ "While all transition periods require some time, results have not met the club's expectations. Russell and his staff have worked exceptionally hard throughout their time at the club. We thank them for their efforts and wish them well."
🗣️ Arne Slot confirms Alisson will miss the Chelsea game this weekend after going off with an injury in Liverpool's loss at Galatasaray. "It's never positive if you go off like this. You can be sure he is not playing Saturday."
Chelsea remain fully behind Enzo Maresca ahead of a big week, with a pre-planned evaluation on the whole season due in the summer. #CFC remain calm despite losses to Bayern, Manchester United and Brighton.
🗣️ Ruben Amorim insists he's not concerned about losing his job following the 3-1 loss at Brentford. "I'm not concerned [because] it is not my decision. I will do the best I can every minute I'm here. I am never concerned about [losing] my job. I am not that kind of guy."
