      Scott Parker is shock candidate to replace Ange Postecoglou at Tottenham with Daniel Levy ‘massive fan’ of Burnley boss

      SCOTT PARKER has emerged as a shock candidate for the Spurs job – if the club decide to axe Ange Postecoglou.The Australian could leave the North London outfit at the end of the season, regardless of whether he wins the Europa League or not.Ange Postecoglou could leave Tottenham at the end of the seasonCredit: AlamyDaniel Levy will have to find a replacement for the AustralianCredit: GettyScott Parker is a shock candidate for the manager job at SpursCredit: AlamySunSport can reveal a number of senior figures at Tottenham “hugely admire” the job Parker has done at Burnley this season.And despite difficult spells in charge of Fulham and Bournemouth in the Premier League, he remains one of the most highly-regarded young English coaches in the country.Spurs owner Daniel Levy is among those said to be a massive fan of former Tottenham star Parker.Levy is keen to cement his club’s reputation for playing an attacking brand of football alongside a history of bringing through young players.READ MORE ON FOOTBALLThese traits are central to Parker’s philosophy – but appointing him would be hugely controversial.That’s because if Postecoglou is axed, Spurs fans are already demanding a replacement with proven Premier League experience.Supporters’ message boards highlight Bournemouth’s Andoni Iraola as a preferred choice, and he remains a firm favourite with the bookies too.Marco Silva and Thomas Frank are also being tipped by many bookmakers, with Mauricio Pochettino repeatedly linked with a return to Spurs.Most read in FootballJOIN SUN VEGAS: GET £50 BONUSAn insider told SunSport: “It’s going to be a big summer at Spurs.

The job he’s done at Burnley has underlined, again, what an excellent young coach he is.“There’s a view among many at the club that he could be a potential boss for Spurs, but the board know if they do replace the current manager they need to get the next appointment spot on.“It might be the case that it’s a bit early for Parker. But he’s definitely someone who might potentially end up in the Spurs dugout one day.“Spurs came very close to appointing Parker in 2021 when he was Fulham manager.

      How Pope Francis helped Arsenal complete signing of Danny Welbeck from Man Utd

      by

      POPE FRANCIS had an unusual hand in getting Danny Welbeck to swap Manchester United for Arsenal in 2014.The Pope died on Easter Monday at the age of 88 following a stroke that led to coma and irreversible heart failure.Pope Francis passed away on Easter Monday aged 88Credit: GettyThe Pope has an unusual part to play in Danny Welbeck’s move to ArsenalCredit: Getty – ContributorAs well as his incredible impact on so many people and his commitment to reshaping the Vatican’s ideas around LGBTQ+ rights, Pope Francis was known to be a big football fan.That love for the sport even meant he had a roundabout way of impacting Arsenal’s transfer business during the 2014 summer window.Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger was spending transfer deadline day in Rome as he had an appointment to meet The Pope as well as participating in a charity football match.In fact, the Gunners’ manager was even negotiating during his wait to meet The Pope as Arsenal tried to work out a late deal to lure Welbeck away from Old Trafford.READ MORE ON ARSENALSpeaking at the time, Wenger said: “Meeting the Pope was an experience I did not want to miss.”I am a Catholic, so it was an experience, and one I accepted a long time ago.”Adding: “He is a great person. He shows humility and is available to meet for everybody, has a word with everybody.“He is also a football fan. He is a supporter of San Lorenzo in Argentina. You cannot be born in Argentina and not be a football fan.Most read in FootballArsene Wenger revealed that he was in Rome to meet The Pope during the 2014 transfer deadline dayCredit: GettyCASINO SPECIAL – BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITS”He spoke with many Argentinians, so I wanted to be discreet and say, ‘it was nice to meet you and bye-bye’.”And even though it would seem that Wenger was kept busy by his meeting with The Pope, the legendary gaffer managed to get a £16m deal over the line for Welbeck.‘He’s perfect for Man Utd’ – Neville begs Amorim to re-sign flop strikerWenger even revealed that getting up early to meet Pope Francis actually helped him secure the Welbeck deal, explaining that it gave him more time to negotiate the transfer.He said: “In 2014 you can always be in touch with everybody even when you travel.”The advantage of that day was I had to get up at 6 o’clock in the morning for my flight and I was available the whole day.”It may not have been a direct involvement, but had Wenger not headed to see The Pope then Welbeck may have never laced up his boots for the Gunners.Arsenal fans will be thankful he did, as the striker became a cult hero at the Emirates – scoring 32 times in 126 appearances.His late goal against Leicester City in the 2015/16 season still lives long in the memory of many Arsenal fans, and he left the club in 2019 as a two-time FA Cup winner.Welbeck, 34, is now plying his trade with Brighton where he has scored nine goals and registered four assists in the Premier League this season – his best ever return in the competition.Welbeck won two FA Cups with ArsenalCredit: AFP – GettyHe is having his best ever season at Brighton this termCredit: Reuters More

      Sonia Bompastor urges Chelsea to bounce back from ‘tough’ Barcelona loss by widening lead over WSL rivals

      SONIA BOMPASTOR insists Chelsea “will never give up” as they aim to bounce back from their disappointing Champions League defeat. And the Blues head coach is uncertain whether striker Sam Kerr will return to action before the end of this season.  Sonia Bompastor wants her players to focus on the future with the team returning to WSL action following a Champions League semis first leg loss to BarcelonaCredit: GettyCatarina Macario is among the players likely to be in action for Chelsea when they host Crystal Palace at KingsmeadowCredit: GettyThe Blues hope to register win ahead of their Stamford Bridge duel with Barcelona in the second leg of Champions League last four tieCredit: AlamyThe WSL leaders host Crystal Palace on Wednesday in their first top-flight clash following their 4-1 Champions League semis first leg loss on Sunday. A tough result that left their quadruple hopes and target of winning the contest this season hanging by a thread. While they hope to pull off a huge comeback in their European tie, Chelsea are also focused on claiming an eighth WSL title and sixth FA Cup.  Bullish Blues chief Bompastor, 44, whose team have lost just twice so far this term, said: “It’s always tough to lose especially when you are Chelsea as it’s something you don’t experience a lot.  Read More Football Stories”I will never give up and my players will never give up.

      How Ruben Amorim can shake up Man Utd by signing modern-day Eric Cantona in maverick with questionable temperament

      by

      MANCHESTER UNITED are eyeing up a maverick with a questionable temperament to reignite their misfiring forward line.He plays just behind the striker, weighs in with his fair share of goals and possesses the guile to provide assists for others, too.Cunha gets in a tussle with a member of Ipswich Town’s backroom staffCredit: GettyCantona kung fu kicked a supporterCredit: REXAt 25, he has plenty of experience both here and overseas and is a real crowd favourite — although he never seems to be far away from controversy.Sound familiar?There will only ever be one Eric Cantona in the eyes of the Stretford End, of course.But United’s interest in Wolves’ Brazilian talisman Matheus Cunha has some fans wondering if he could be the man to revive them — just as King Eric did when he joined the club in 1992 at age 26.Read more FootballOld Trafford got a good look at the ace — who has a £62.5million release clause — on Sunday in a forgettable game and liked what they saw. It was Cunha who used his skills to win the free-kick which Pablo Sarabia converted superbly in the 77th minute to guarantee Wolves’ Prem safety.And with that now secured, talk over where the ex-Atletico Madrid man could go next has heated up.Red Devils coach Ruben Amorim made a point of having a natter with Cunha in the tunnel following the Easter Sunday encounter.Mind you, he had nearly let the cat out of the bag in his pre-match press conference.Most read in FootballCunha scraps with Kerkez after Wolves’ FA Cup tie with BournemouthCredit: GettyBEST ONLINE CASINOS – TOP SITES IN THE UKSpeaking about the clash with his fellow Portuguese boss Vitor Pereira, Amorim said: “He has real quality players, Cunha and all these guys.”When asked if that meant he could be a target for United, Amorim hastily backtracked, adding: “I just gave the example because I remembered about Matheus — he’s scoring a lot of goals. Just that.”How the genius tactical play from Nottingham Forest is placing them firmly at the top of the leagueThe forward has 16 goals in all competitions for Wolves this term — with 14 in the Prem, which is a couple more than he got last season.Compare that to United, who have managed ONE goal in four top-flight games since last month’s international break.Cunha has played in Germany and Spain and is now showing in his second full season in English football what he is about.Wolves also play a similar system to United, so he would be able to slot straight into that hole behind the main striker.It all sounds too good to be true — but there is the other side to him.He clashed with a member of Ipswich’s security staff after a home defeat in December, pulling off his glasses and appearing to elbow him.It is a far cry from Cantona’s infamous kung-fu kick at Crystal Palace in 1995, though.The 13-cap star also received a four-game ban following his red card for a wild attack on Bournemouth’s Milos Kerkez during an FA Cup tie last month.Wolves fans love him despite his imperfections but he even tested their patience recently.Even though he only signed a new contract at Molineux in January, he suggested in an interview that he may look elsewhere to fulfil his ambitions.Cunha said: “Now, we’re close to staying up. But I’ve made it clear I need to take the next step. I want to fight for titles, for big things. I have potential.”He quickly claimed his comments had been misinterpreted and he wants to move forward with Wolves.Plenty can still happen before Cunha — who turns 26 next month — is paraded on the pitch at the Theatre of Dreams.Qualifying for next season’s Champions League will have a huge impact on United’s summer budget.Attracting players of Cunha’s quality will also be helped if they return to Uefa’s top table next season.Read More on The SunUnited may still need to clear some space on their wage bill and Marcus Rashford, Antony and Jadon Sancho could be sold to make room.But after witnessing his team draw a blank for the 13th time this season, Amorim is looking at a revamp — and he hopes Cunha could be at the centre of it.

      How the genius tactical play from Nottingham Forest is placing them firmly at the top of the Premier League

      by

      THE Champions League anthem will surely ring around the City Ground next season and deservedly so.Nottingham Forest are closing in on a top five Premier League finish after a simply incredible campaign.Nuno Espirito Santo has transformed Forest from relegation candidates to Champions League hopefulsCredit: AlamyCentre-backs Nikola Milenkovic and Murillo have been key to their successCredit: ReutersNuno Espirito Santo’s side stayed up by just six points last season and many predictions for this term had them to be involved in another relegation scrap.But they have defied belief to consistently be closest challengers to Liverpool and Arsenal.Forest are a unique side tactically with some of the league’s most underrated players. Here is how they have shocked everyone this year.Stats just not rightWhen crunching the numbers, Forest’s clinical and resilient side are on show.READ MORE IN FOOTBALLAttacking-wise, they rank fourth for shot conversation and 14th for total shots, all while having the least amount of average possession in the division.Only Liverpool and Arsenal have conceded fewer, but Forest do it without pressing as they come in at 18th for winning the ball back in the opposition’s third.So how do they keep so many teams out? Essentially, it is park the bus brilliance.In Nikola Milenkovic and Murillo they have two great box defenders and full-backs, usually Neco Williams and Ola Aina, rarely go forward.Most read in FootballBEST FREE BETS AND BETTING SIGN UP OFFERSNuno cuts his team down the middle with a setup that sees six players defend and four attack.When out of possession, they sit on the edge of their own box in a 4-4-2 shape and it is extremely narrow and difficult to play through.They are well-drilled in blocking passing lanes, setting traps to win it back and funnelling the ball wide.Forest then back themselves should a cross come in, having aerially dominant centre-back and a keeper in-form like Matz Sels are a must.Teams have so much of the ball but have nowhere to go, it is the magic of the formation.Forest are so compact and there is no way through for opponentsThe gaps between their lines are tight and set traps and block passing lanesDreaming dreams of our MurilloThe Brazilian 22-year-old is not far off Ruben Dias and Virgil van Dijk levels. He is simply outstanding.He is so good at giving striker’s no space to work with and he is the leader of the back four.Murillo does this amazing thing where if the ball’s on one side of the pitch, he brings the two nearest Forest players closer to him as he marks the rival centre-forward.The team pulls in towards Murillo when a cross comes inWhen opponents are about to cross, Murillo drops two steps and the rest of the team follow suit.We see players put their hands in the air as a signal before a free-kick and the defensive line then drops. Essentially, Murillo does it in open play. It’s amazing.He also bullies the striker before the ball comes in with clever nudges and holding.In Forest’s 2-1 win over Tottenham, Spurs crossed the ball 48 times and scored with their final cross attempt as Murillo gave Richarlison a nightmare night.Murillo and Milenkovic are physical and aerially dominantDon’t Look Back, ElangaAgainst Spurs, Anthony Elanga played like a second striker in the 4-4-2 out of possession shape, ready to use his explosive pace on the break.Elliot Anderson and Morgan Gibbs-White tucked in to frustrate the inverted full-backs formation that so many teams use, again, giving opponents no space to work with.Wood is the focal point and Elanga is free, ready to float around the striker to cause havoc where he wants.The ex-Man Utd star drifts wide into space that attacking full-backs vacate, where is ready to receive the ball and break from.In transition, passes are always aimed towards Elanga to start the counter-attack.And the team pulls apart opponent’s defensive structures to help with their quick breaks.Wood drops deep to hold up the ball and runners go beyond him, defensive lines then becomes jagged so they can’t play offside as Elanga truly doesn’t look back and sprints forward.Elanga drifts out wide and starts counter-attacksWhere there’s Forest, there’s WoodYou would be forgiven for thinking Wood’s run would not go on… but go on it does.But the veteran striker continues to be the league’s most clinical forward, his 19 goals this season is eight more than his expected goals have predicted (only three of his strikes have been penalties too).Going back to him dropping deep, when Forest win it back with a clearance, he positions himself on the opponent’s midfield with the wide players either side of him.Centre-backs do not want to leave their zone and be dragged miles out, those jagged backline worries, and Wood is able to win headers and flick it on for his speedster team-mates.Wood likes to drop deep and win flick-ons after a clearance to start counter-attacksForest are also happy to go long from goal-kicks and put it on Wood’s head. They have players around him to pick up the loose balls.A throwback centre-forward and it is working wonders.Give ’em EllElliot Anderson is one of the most underappreciated players in the Premier League.His awareness of where to help defensively and his positional play is brilliant and key to Nuno’s system.He can play on the left of a midfield three, the No.6 role, part of a double pivot and further up the field in attack.Read More on The SunAll action Anderson knows when the likes of Elanga, Gibbs-White and Callum Hudson-Odoi go forward where to fill in and cover.It is exactly what Nuno demands in a setup that prioritises never being outnumbered defensively.
