    England’s biggest crisis club relegated THREE divisions after being left with no pitch and playing 70 miles away

    NO senior football club in England has gone from nightmare to nightmare like debt-riddled Farsley Celtic.But it’s somehow got worse – AFTER the season finished.Farsley Celtic hope to set up a new groundshare for next seasonCredit: RexCeltic were not able to use their ground this seasonCredit: RexFans blasted an “absolutely crazy” situation as Celtic have been relegated THREE DIVISIONS.Crisis upon crisis has descended upon the semi-professional Yorkshire club following a failed decision to put in an artificial pitch at their Throstle Nest ground last year.It never got built – so Celtic played most of their 2024-25 ‘home’ games 70 miles away in Buxton, Derbyshire.They famously lost ex-Leeds star Neil Redfearn as manager in February after just three weeks in charge.READ MORE FOOTBALL NEWSControversial chairman Paul Barthorpe then departed – with Celtic forced to field youngsters on the way to finishing bottom of the National League North.But instead of dropping into the Northern Premier League, they have been booted all the way down to the ninth tier – the Northern Counties East League Premier Division.Low points of the season included a 6-1 defeat to then-bottom Needham Market – when Redfearn was absent without explanation.Women’s team manager Izzy Roads and youth coach Phil Lake took the reins, with Redfearn later revealing he had resigned days earlier.Most read in FootballBEST ONLINE CASINOS – TOP SITES IN THE UKUnder-fire Barthorpe soon quit too after six years steering a club that had went bust in 2010 but reformed in 2015.Now homeless Celtic have been denied a licence to play in Steps 1-4 – the four highest levels below the EFL.The club said: “As a board we recognise this will be as disappointing for our fans as it is for us. It’s not what we wanted. “But sometimes you need to take a step backwards in order to move forwards, and pragmatically we believe this move to be necessary to protect the long-term financial future of our club.”One fan responded: “It’s absolutely crazy that Farsley Celtic has dropped three divisions to now the 9th tier of the English football pyramid. “It’s an absolute joke, should never have got this far out of hand.”Another wrote: “Triple relegation to Step 5… what a mess!”However, a third supporter took a longer-term view.He posted: “Like any fan I want to get back up ASAP but we need time to stabilise behind the scenes and then get back up where we belong. “I’d say 2-3 seasons hopefully then we go back up with a sustainable model.” While we could have appealed against this decision, the long-term future of the club remains our priority Club statementCeltic issued a lengthy statement on being booted down the leagues – insisting a groundsharing deal has already nearly been sorted for next term as they rebuild gradually.They said: “At the end of the last season we said our efforts would be concentrated around ensuring the financial stability of the club. “A season playing all our games away from The Citadel was always going to leave us with a financially challenging summer.”The debts facing the club have continued to mount in recent weeks.”We are in a situation where we have to be pragmatic. NCEL offers us significantly lower travelling costs and running costs in general as we seek to stabilise the club.”Celtic are finally hoping to get a new surface so they can return home.Their statement added: “Our funding bid for a new pitch will be decided by the Football Foundation next month. “Our planning application for new energy efficient and reliable floodlights is being considered by the council and is subject to a funding bid. “A ground share for the start of next season is almost agreed, and we are still working on securing a lease for the ground.Read More on The Sun”While we could have appealed against this decision, the long-term future of the club remains our priority and a lot of work is being put in by the board and others to ensure Farsley continues to have a semi professional football club. “The long-term future of our first team, Deaf, Junior and Women’s sides continues to be our priority.” More

    Inside Jason Puncheon’s new life as manager in Cyprus nine years after ex-Crystal Palace ace, 38, netted in FA Cup final

    JASON PUNCHEON could enjoy a double celebration this season.In his first season as a manager in Cyprus he led Akritas Chlorakas to promotion to the top tier.Jason Puncheon is forging his path as a manager in CyrpusCredit: INSTAGRAMPuncheon put Palace 1-0 up in the 2016 FA Cup finalCredit: News Group Newspapers LtdAnd on Saturday his ‘team’ Crystal Palace will make their first FA Cup final appearance since he scored but Palace lost 2-1 against Manchester United in 2016.The 38-year-old has been based on the Mediterranean island for five years as a player and now manager, and is enjoying a contented but hard-working life 2,000 miles from his old home in  London.The former midfielder made a life-changing decision about his career while playing at Huddersfield in the Prem in 2019. But it was more or less made for him, following a remark by one of his daughters.He explained: “I was travelling up and down the country because my family were still living in London and I was in Yorkshire at Huddersfield for most of the week.READ MORE CRYSTAL PALACE NEWS“My second-youngest daughter provided a wake-up call one day when she said to me, ‘Daddy, why are you away all the time?’“It really struck a chord with me and I couldn’t get it out of my head as I was travelling back to Huddersfield.“I knew that whatever move I made next, it would have to be for the whole family, not just me.“When the idea of  joining Cypriot top-flight club Pafos came up in 2019, the idea of moving here to build a new life with my family  appealed to all of us. We are really happy.”Most read in FootballCASINO SPECIAL – BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITSPuncheon finished his playing career in CyrpusCredit: Pafos FCPuncheon was at Pafos for three seasons before switching to Anorthosis Famagusta two years ago.He said: “I was planning that I would have one last season playing for Famagusta. For several years my mind had always been geared into coaching when I retired and I dipped my toe in the water at Peyia, AEZ Zakakiou and Ayia Napa. It was a great learning curve.”How can Glasner make Palace compete v Man City in FA Cup final?However, he was appointed head coach at Akritas Chlorakas on November 20 last year — and within five months led them to promotion.He said: “Managing here is a huge challenge as it is a different culture to what I’ve been used to in England.“I am enjoying the success of promotion but I know the hard work has only just started.“Next season it’s going to be another level, but I’m ready for it.”Puncheon completed all his Uefa A and B badges alongside Djimi Traore, Juan Pablo Angel and Carlton Cole before moving to Cyprus.It is interesting to hear him speak about the future and whether  continued management success in Cyprus may see a return to England. He said: “I am not even thinking that far ahead at the moment.“The results have been great for me and the club since November and to be promoted is a big step. My entire focus is now on next season.”Puncheon played for Palace between 2013 and 2019Credit: Getty Images – GettyPuncheon revealed that he has always been football mad, explaining:  “My whole life I have always felt I’ve had a ball at my feet.”And he remembers his league debut for Wimbledon in March 2004 as though it was last week.He said: “I was a sub and came on at half-time at Walsall. We lost the game 1-0. The thing that sticks in my mind is I was playing against Paul Merson, who came on as a sub.“I switched to MK Dons but I was released by the club in 2006.“Joining Barnet in League Two was a breakthrough for me, where I started to play regularly.”Puncheon played for Barnet in his younger yearsCredit: PA:Press AssociationThe midfielder also turned out for MK DonsCredit: PA:Empics SportPuncheon had spells at Plymouth Argyle and further stints on loan at MK Dons but he reflects on joining Southampton in 2010 — where he believes his career went up several notches.He said: “All my previous clubs had given me a platform to play but, even though Southampton were in League One, the facilities and structure were that of a Premier League club.“During my early days  I had a loan spell at Blackpool where I played in the Prem for the first time but Saints were on another level.”Within three years, the Saints had back-to-back promotions and were back in the top tier for  2012-13.The Londoner made 32 Prem appearances for Saints that season as they finished in 14th.But in the  summer of 2013, he signed a one-year loan with Crystal Palace. He said: “Growing up Palace was my team, all my family were fans, so joining them felt special.”Puncheon joined Southampton in 2010Credit: Action Images – ReutersSix months later he made the loan permanent in a £1.75million deal.He talks proudly of wearing the skipper’s armband for Palace and of two of his standout goals among the 16 he netted for the Eagles in his six years at Selhurst Park.He revealed: “The winner against Norwich in April 2016 was huge in terms of making sure we stayed up that season. There is an iconic photo of us celebrating the goal.“Then there was scoring the opener in the FA Cup final  against Manchester United with less than 20 minutes remaining.Read More on The Sun“I wished it had been the winner.

    ARSENAL could make a shock swoop for Rodrygo, it’s been claimed.Gunners boss Mikel Arteta is keen to add more firepower to his squad, which is on course for a third-straight second-place Premier League finish, this summer.Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta is in the market for a new forward this summerCredit: AFPThe Spaniard is said to be a fan of Real Madrid ace RodrygoCredit: GETTYThe Gunners’ Prem and Champions League challenges fell short following devastating injuries to forwards Gabriel Jesus and Kai Havertz.The north Londoners are reportedly keen on signing Sporting Lisbon ace Viktor Gyokeres, who is also on the radar of their domestic rivals Manchester United.But according to reports, they’re also interested in signing Rodrygo from Real Madrid.That’s according to The Athletic, who claim Arteta is a “fan” of the Brazilian winger, who can also play up front.READ MORE ARSENAL NEWSRodrygo has enjoyed a stellar season with Los Blancos, scoring 13 goals and notching 10 assists in 50 appearances.The 24-year-old is well aware of the intense speculation surrounding his future.But he’s seemingly pledged his allegiance to Real, recently sharing a photo of the Bernabeu to his Instagram story with “Vamos Real” emblazoned across it.The Emirates faithful were left frustrated by Arteta’s failure to sign a new striker in January, which ultimately came back to haunt him.Most read in FootballJOIN SUN VEGAS: GET £50 BONUSMikel Arteta’s striker shopping listBy Jordan DaviesARSENAL are stepping up plans to sign a world-class striker in the summer after their Champions League heartbreak.Mikel Arteta splashed out £204.5m last summer on Declan Rice, Kai Havertz and Jurrien Timber.But the Spanish manager accepts he needs a proven goalscorer to take the club to the next level.And here are the players he is looking at to get the Gunners firing:BENJAMIN SESKO (RB Leipzig, value £40m-£45m)One for the future at 20 years old.
