Work gets underway on the new Sir Vivian Richards Gates.

Work has started on the new Sir Vivian Richards Gates which are being built at the Priory Bridge entrance to the County Ground in Taunton

Richard Walsh15-Feb-2002Work has started on the new Sir Vivian Richards Gates which are being built at the Priory Bridge entrance to the County Ground in Taunton.The new gates will replace the old wooden structures and will also incorporate new pedestrian turnstiles, which will be the main point of entry from the River Tone end of the County Ground.It is expected that the new gates will be officially opened and dedicated to the honour of one of the county’s greatest players during the Queen’s Golden Jubilee Day on May 12th.This is the next phase of a considerable programme of work that is being undertaken at the County Ground during the winter which is costing in excess of £250,000.Work has already started on providing turnstiles and replacing the old walls at the St James Street entrance, and a new toilet block has been built behind the Old Pavilion along with improvements to the toilets at the Coal Orchard side of the ground.Somerset Cricket Development Officer Andrew Moulding told me: “We applied to Sport England for a Lottery Grant under the safer sports ground programme, which covers making grounds more safe for members and spectators, and addresses public health improvements.”This has included drainage work, fitting safety barriers, replacement toilet blocks, new access arrangements and trunstiles into the ground.We have replaced corrugated asbestos roofing, and are rebuilding the dangerous boundary wall in St James Street. We are also making safety improvements to the Ridley Stand and resurfacing much of the ground.”Overall the cost of the work is in excess of £1/4 million, which has been part grant funded by the safer sports ground scheme.”It is expected that all of the work will be completed in time for the Cidermen’s first home fixture of the season on April 30th when they entertain Glamorgan in the Benson and Hedges Cup.

West Brom: Baggies will not replace departed Luke Dowling

West Bromwich Albion are set to dump their Sporting Director model, following the departure of Luke Dowling yesterday [Football Insider].

The Lowdown: Baggies endure rocky start to 2021/22

The Baggies have endured a bumpy start to 2021/22, as they search for a new manager to mount a Sky Bet Championship title challenge.

This time last week, David Wagner was almost certain to inherit the Hawthorns hotseat after advanced talks with the club [Express and Star].

However, talks eventually collapsed as the German-American elected to take the BSC Young Boys managerial role instead [BBC].

Despite links with Frank Lampard, Michael Appleton and Chris Wilder, there has been no progress on the head-coach front [GIVEMESPORT].

In light of this, West Brom look to have shuffled their deck as pre-season draws ever closer.

The Latest: Sporting Director model scrapped; Dowling will not be replaced

Following weeks of drawn-out talks with multiple candidates, Dowling has left the building and will not be replaced as Sporting Director [Football Insider].

Intriguingly, a club source has revealed that West Brom are looking to pass most player recruitment responsibility on to their prospective new boss.

Inheriting a squad requiring major surgery, they are seeking a “traditional” manager with strong connections within football [Football Insider].

The Verdict: Short-termism?

This approach may go against the grain of modern footballing practices. With more clubs moving into a structure that includes a director of football, some onlookers may treat the news with scepticism and see it as a short-term fix.

On the other hand, West Brom are facing a race against the clock as they look to assemble a promotion worthy outfit. Short-term gain is imperative not only on the pitch but from a financial standpoint.

For 12 months, it may just be worth the risk if they can recruit the correct manager to make a real go of life in the English second-tier, and perhaps revert back to a recruitment chief model once short-term goals are achieved.

In other news, a pundit is unconvinced by a reported West Bromwich Albion managerial target.

PTV to televise Quaid-i-Azam Trophy final live

The final of the Quaid-i-Azam Trophy between Karachi Whites and Peshawar, starting Friday here at National Stadium, will be telecast live by Pakistan Television Corporation (PTV)

28-Feb-2002The final of the Quaid-i-Azam Trophy between Karachi Whites and Peshawar, starting Friday here at National Stadium, will be telecast live by Pakistan Television Corporation (PTV).The announcement Wednesday comes as a great relief to cricket buffs in the outstation areas, especially in the North West Frontier Province because Peshawar are involved, after last year’s fracas between PTV and the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB).On that occasion, PTV refused to televise the final between Karachi Whites and Lahore Blues at the same venue after PCB turned down a last-minute proposal to change the match pitch to suit the camera crew. Meanwhile, Karachi Whites have named a 17-member squad for the five-day tie. Former Pakistan skipper Moin Khan is expected to lead the home team after taking a three-week break.Squad: Moin Khan (captain), Ghulam Ali, Shadab Kabir, Saeed bin Nasir, Hasan Raza, Mohammad Masroor, Imran Javed, Arif Mahmood, Danish Kaneria, Mohammad Hasnain, Ovais Athar, Tanvir Ahmed, Irfanuddin, Adnan Malik, Ariz Kamal, Saif Ashraf and Farhan Iqbal.This year’s winners will get a cash award of Rs 100,000 and the runners-up Rs 50,000. There are three individual awards of Rs 10,000 each for the best batsman, best bowler and the best wicket-keeper.

Spurs legend torn over deal for veteran Italy defender - exclusive

Former Tottenham Hotspur hero Graham Roberts is unconvinced by links with Juventus defender Leonardo Bonucci.

The veteran defender has enjoyed two spells with the Italian club, playing for them between 2010 and 2017, and then rejoining them in 2018 after a campaign playing for AC Milan.

The 34-year-old has made a total of 442 appearances for Juve, and has also won 104 caps for Italy.

He has been included in the Euro 2020 squad and has played in both of their victories thus far, as his country have beaten both Turkey and Switzerland 3-0.

Spurs have been linked with a potential swoop for the veteran following the appointment of the Italian Fabio Paratici as their new Managing Director of football.

Roberts is torn over the potential deal, as he believes that Serie A is a more limited league than the Premier League when it comes to its intensity and pace, though he has been impressed with the way Italy have been performing in the tournament.

Speaking exclusively to Football FanCast, the ex-Spurs hero said: “It’s down to what Paratici wants. For me, no, it wouldn’t work, because the pace of the Premier League is twice the pace of the Italian league.

“But saying that, he’s doing really well in the Euros. Italy look one of the favourites to win it, and you’ve got the two oldest centre-halves in the competition. So yeah, it might work.”

Rejeição do Galo a diretor do Palmeiras ajudou SP por Pratto

MatériaMais Notícias

O São Paulo acertou a contratação do atacante Lucas Pratto com o Atlético-MG por 6,2 milhões de euros (cerca de R$ 20,7 milhões) por 50% dos direitos econômicos do jogador, que assinará contrato de quatro anos. Feito isso, chegará ao fim uma novela que terminou com final feliz para o Tricolor e que teve até rejeição a diretor do Palmeiras como uma dos aspectos para o desfecho positivo.

Sim, porque os próprios dirigentes do São Paulo admitem que hoje não há como concorrer de igual para igual com o Palmeiras, com o aporte da patrocinadora Crefisa. E o rival tinha interesse em Lucas Pratto, chegando a fazer proposta. Mas o Galo recusou. E um dos motivos, além de o Alviverde ser um adversário direto na Libertadores, atende pelo nome de Alexandre Mattos, diretor executivo do Palmeiras e responsável pelas contratações do clube.

Antes do Palmeiras, Mattos trabalhou no Cruzeiro, eterno rival do Atlético, e montou o elenco bicampeão brasileiro em 2013 e 2014. Já tinha trabalhado no América-MG, onde despontou. Virou, assim, um desafeto para a diretoria do Galo, que dificultou ao máximo nas negociações com o Alviverde. O jogo duro fez Mattos se afastar da ideia de contratar Pratto e focar no colombiano Miguel Borja, com quem acertou na última quinta-feira.

Foi uma brecha para o São Paulo concretizar seu sonho antigo de contar com Pratto. Depois de vender o atacante David Neres ao Ajax (HOL) e encaminhar a venda do zagueiro Lyanco ao Atlético de Madrid (ESP), a diretoria então ganhou recursos para investir no argentino e intensificou as tratativas nesta semana, já sem o Palmeiras como concorrente.

Pela negociação, o Galo, além de receber pouco mais de 6,2 milhões de euros, manterá 20% dos direitos econômicos de Pratto, para lucrar em uma negociação futura. Os outros 30% estão divididos entre o Velez Sarsfield (ARG), ex-clube do atacante, e um grupo de supermercados de Belo Horizonte, que ajudou a contratá-lo em 2015.

O argentino deve fazer exames médicos ainda esta semana e a intenção da diretoria do São Paulo é apresentá-lo à torcida antes do jogo de domingo contra a Ponte Preta, no Morumbi. O mesmo se deve a Jucilei, que já anunciou que está a caminho do clube.

Bundesliga expert gives insight into Norwich signing Rashica

Norwich City made their first splash in the transfer market after losing their star man, Emiliano Buendia, and they appear to have found a great bargain in Milot Rashica who should be playing at a much bigger club than Norwich, according to Get German Football News editor in chief, Daniel Pinder.

Rashica often impressed at Werder Bremen and was even linked with a move to Aston Villa last summer, but after failing to secure a move to the Premier League he had a tough season with several injuries restricting his impact on the pitch.

It is no coincidence that Rashica’s most injury-plagued campaign at Werder Bremen coincided with his club being relegated from the Bundesliga and once their fate was confirmed for next season, Rashica’s future obviously lay away from Germany.

The Kosovan international was signed by Norwich for just £9.4 million and that could prove to be the bargain of the summer if he lives up to the high standards that he set with Bremen, as Pinder explained exclusively to Transfer Tavern that the winger should be playing for a top-half Premier League club:

“I thought you were looking at [Premier League teams who could have signed Rashica] teams just below challenging for European football so maybe someone like Everton, but I would certainly have said a club in the top six or eight.”

Rashica made 100 appearances during his time with Bremen and during that time he netted 27 goals and registered 19 assists and the Kosovan will look to emulate how Buendia became a crucial cog under Daniel Farke and a huge fan favourite.

The 24-year-old’s willingness to back himself in any one-on-one should provide a lot of excitement at Carrow Road but also, his ability to sometimes play through the middle as a second striker could provide some much-needed help to Teemu Pukki if his performances for Finland at the Euros are anything to go by.

Test records given a tweak in Christchurch match

Christchurch’s Jade Stadium contributed another chapter to the book of cricket records after another day of run scoring on the third day of the first National Bank series Test
