Michael Edwards rejects Liverpool return after Jurgen Klopp exit

Former Liverpool sporting director Michael Edwards has rejected the chance to return to Anfield and help rebuild the club in the wake of Jurgen Klopp's upcoming departure. Klopp and his backroom staff will leave Liverpool at the end of the season, while Jorg Schmadtke, the current sporting director, will walk away at the end of the January transfer window. With Liverpool in need of major surgery away from the pitch, Fabrizio Romano revealed the Reds have been in contact with Edwards to try and tempt him to return to the club. Edwards was given the chance to lead the restructuring process at Liverpool but is understood to have turned down the proposal. Following his departure from Liverpool in the summer of 2022, Edwards took time away from Football despite attracting interest from a number of the Premier League 's top sides, including Chelsea and Manchester United. In 2023, Edwards launched advisory company Ludonautics, who work with various clubs in search of both sporting

It’s a quiet night on the ice with just a single NHL game between the Nashville Predators and Ottawa Senators on the docket. While both teams are on the outside of the playoff picture, the Preds and Sens have quality underlying metrics despite failing to pile up wins since the holiday break. Nashville and Ottawa have both driven possession and won the expected goals battle at five-on-five out of the break, but the Preds have a 29th-ranked 6.2 team shooting percentage, and the Sens have a league-low .886 team save percentage.

What’s the record for most points by a player in an NBA game? Where does Doncic rank?

Image
Luka Doncic registered the joint-fourth highest points haul by an NBA player in the Dallas Mavericks’ 148-143 win over the Atlanta Hawks on Friday, racking up a sensational 73 points as the Texans snapped a three-game losing streak. In a sublime display that saw Doncic break the 70-point barrier for the first time in his NBA career, the Slovenian made 25 out of 33 field goals, including eight out of 13 three-point attempts, and sunk 15 out of 16 free throws. Doncic up there with NBA legends after “unbelievable” feat The 24-year-old shot 75.8% from the field, becoming the first player in the league ever to score more than 70 points with a shooting percentage over 75% . Including assists, he created a total of 100 points at State Farm Arena. Doncic’s 73-point haul, which is a record for a European player in the NBA , has been bettered by only two men in the history of the competition: Wilt Chamberlain and Kobe Bryant . Asked for his reaction to joining such illustrious figures in the

Doncic gets fan ejected, blasts ESPN reporter

Dallas Mavericks star Luka Doncic was being heckled by a Phoenix Suns fan during their 132-109 loss on Wednesday. The fan was screaming at him throughout the Game , saying at one point, “You’re tired! Get on the treadmill!” He finally had enough and asked for the fan to be ejected in the second half. "LUKA YOU TIRED, GET ON THE TREADMILL!" Luka Doncic reaction to fan incoming. Luka Doncic has since pointed out the fan, who is being talked to by arena staff. Kyrie Irving walked over and was looking at the fan, who just left.#Suns 100 #Mavs 78 after 3. pic.twitter.com/6npgrJhj6J — Duane Rankin (@DuaneRankin) January 25, 2024 Doncic received some backlash for that, and after the Game , he explained that he didn’t like to eject fans, and that’s why he let it go on so long. But eventually, he had enough. “He was cursing me the whole first half too, so it’s a bit of frustration,” said Doncic to ESPN reporter Tim McMahon, whom he said is always writing negative things about h

Blues vs Flames Picks, Predictions & Odds Tonight - NHL

Image
With just a single point separating them in the standings, tonight’s game between the St. Louis Blues and Calgary Flames is a big one. We're likely to see two of the best goalies since the break go head-to-head as Jacob Markstrom is set to return and will face Jordan Binnington who is fresh off an 18-save shutout of the Capitals.  Despite the on-paper great goaltending matchup, the Over is taking money and there’s reason for it... but is it reason enough to hop on the full- Game Over 6.0? I break down the NHL odds and offer my free NHL picks for the Blues vs. Flames on Tuesday, January 23. Blues vs Flames odds Blues vs Flames predictions Jordan Binnington has a 1.99 GAA and .930 SV% since Christmas while Jacob Markstrom has very similar numbers. Markstrom has been out since January 13 and is projected to return tonight, but even with the recent play in net, I’m backing this Over 6.0 tonight at -115 as my best bet — and here’s why. First off, the market is mo

Inter Miami to receive 2024 third kit thanks to obscure MLS rule

Image
It is difficult to truly measure the full extent of Lionel Messi’s importance to Inter Miami . On the field, his i NFL uence was clear. His incredible early form dragged a struggling side to Leagues Cup glory , securing the first piece of silverware in club History . He conjured starring performances out of young talents Benjamin Cremaschi and Facundo Farías, and, from nowhere, sparked a mid-season turnaround that has made Miami one of the favorites to lift MLS Cup this year. But his commercial i NFL uence was no less profound, packing stadiums across the country and sparking a huge surge in subscribers for the Apple TV+ MLS Season Pass. He also sold the most jerseys of any MLS player, which has helped the club to a new milestone. In 2024 Inter Miami will be one of a select number of teams with a third kit. Full screen Lionel Messi's Inter Miami jersey has become one of the most popular in the world. MARVIN RECINOS AFP MLS rules permit every club to produce two kits for each season

Day Eight Australian Open Tennis Picks, Odds & Best Bet | Pickswise

We are approaching the Business end of the Australian Open. Sunday marks the proverbial beginning of “week 2.” If you are a lower-ranked player, you know you’ve had an awesome tournament if you are still alive. If you are at the top of the Game and a serious title contender, you know you are getting somewhat close the end goal. The latter group includes ATP world #1 Novak Djokovic and #4 Jannik Sinner, who will both be taking the court on Sunday as they aim to secure spots in the quarterfinals.   Let’s take a look at the best bets to be made on the Day 8 schedule for the season’s first Grand Slam.   Alex de Minaur over Andrey Rublev (+125) This projects to be perhaps the match of the entire fourth round. After all, it features 2 of the hottest players on tour. Given that it feels like a toss-up, I think there is very good value on Alex De Minaur as the underdog. The Aussie recently broke into the top 10 of the rankings for the first time in his career and he is sporting a 6-1 re

Amadou Onana: Everton boss reacts to Arsenal transfer links

Image
Everton manager Sean Dyche has played down speculation surrounding midfielder Amadou Onana and transfer links with Arsenal, describing it as "just another story". Onana has impressed in an Everton side hamstrung by a 10-point deduction dished out for breaching Premier League profit and sustainability rules, with his form leading to attention from other sides. But Dyche and the Toffees understandably have little interest in letting one of their best players go during a critical time when the club is again battling relegation. "He's been heavily linked before I was here and after, it's just another story," Dyche said. "He's an Everton player, so any decision that we make on players, it will be us that decide." Onana cost Everton £33m in the summer of 2022, just a year after joining Lille for £6m. The Senegal-born star had recently made his international debut for Belgium, moving to the country aged 11, and went on to play 33 times in the Premi

Premier League title race: Who has the hardest run-in?

Image
A stagnant 2022/23 on the red side of the Mersey meant an alternate challenger for Manchester City's throne manifested but Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool are right back in title contention this term. Mikel Arteta's project inspired a tilt at the summit for much of last term but a stuttering epilogue allowed Pep Guardiola's eventual treble-winners to stroll to a third-straight league title. Arsenal are poised to be in the mix once again in 2023/24 despite their woes over Christmas, although Liverpool have re-emerged as City's fiercest contender. These two played out memorable title duels in 2018/19 and 2021/22, so it'd be silly to rule out another run-in of drama this time around. Alongside Arsenal, outsiders Aston Villa and Tottenham have thrown themselves into the mix. Here's how 90min rates the respective run-ins of the Premier League's top five on a 1-10 difficulty scale (1 being a walk in the park and 10 being a gauntlet). Liverpool Mohamed Salah will be
