      by

      JACK Grealish’s terrified family hit panic buttons as a gang of burglars looted his new home.Around ten relatives were cheering on the Manchester City star in his televised match at Everton when they heard noises upstairs and dogs barking frantically.

      The shaken group — including fiancée Sasha Attwood, his parents, gran, two sisters and brother — dashed for cover at the unfamiliar mansion which Jack moved into just before Christmas.
      Police fearing a hostage situation raced to the scene and a helicopter scoured the estate.
      Neighbours were told to lock doors and stay inside.
      Despite extensive security and perimeter fencing around Jack’s   lavish home, the crooks got in and fled with £1million of watches and jewellery on Wednesday night.

      The England ace, 28, rushed back from City’s 3-1 win to comfort his traumatised family and was yesterday seen checking paths next to  the £5.6million Cheshire property.
      A source told The Sun: “The family are really shaken.
      “The gang took a lot of watches and jewellery.
      “They executed their raid when Manchester City were playing live on TV and all his family had gathered downstairs to cheer him on.

      “No one was injured but there was a lot of panic.
      “Everyone was terrified as they were all so vulnerable.
      “It’s an enormous property, so it is understandable why no one heard anything at first.
      “It was also the first time the family had visited  so they were unfamiliar with the property.
      “When the dogs went mad, and they could hear people creeping about, they pressed the security panic alarm.
      “An emergency unit responded immediately, with multiple police cars and a chopper deployed. ­Initially, they feared they could be facing a hostage situation or worse.”
      The raid is the latest on multi-million Premier League stars,  with West Ham skipper Kurt Zouma’s property in Essex targeted shortly   before Christmas.
      On Wednesday night and yesterday, cops combed the area around Jack’s mansion from the ground and air in a desperate bid to apprehend the gang.
      He and 27-year-old model and influencer Sasha bought the “exceptional modern” seven-bed mansion set in 24 acres last year but have only just moved in.
      Their home boasts a helipad, boating and fishing lake, wine cellar, tennis court, golf tee and full-sized football and cricket pitches.
      Yesterday forensic crime scene officers were seen leaving the property while two officers were carrying out door-to-door enquiries with neighbours in the hope of finding any CCTV footage.
      Sources said Jack was told of the break-in minutes after City’s win at Goodison Park.
      And shaken residents told how five police patrol cars dashed to the   area at 10pm.
      One said: “The police arrived at my property and asked if they could enter the land to carry out searches.
      “They went towards Grealish’s land and were shining lights up and down a bridleway.
      “They said there was a man on the loose and that we should lock our doors  then they drove off.
      “A police helicopter was circling for about 20-30 minutes and shining a red light down but then it flew off.”
      Jack had a perimeter fence installed soon after purchasing the vast property.
      Signs warn it is protected by a security company and guards are based  in a mobile home on the driveway.
      Yesterday a van from Adept Security Systems which specialises in CCTV, intruder alarms and barriers and gates was seen parked  at the property.
      On Christmas Day Grealish and Sasha posed with their dog Skye and wrote on  Instagram: “Merry Christmas everyone, beautiful day with the family.”
      Jack also posted an image of a dinner table set for eight guests and a menu titled “Sasha and Jack Christmas Day 2023”.
      In October The Sun told how Jack had won a planning battle to build a leisure suite at the ­mansion — complete with his own treatment room.
      He enjoys a close relationship with his immediate family and has described sister Hollie, 20, as his best friend.
      Confirming  their investigation, Cheshire Police told The Sun: “At around 9.50pm on Wednesday  December 27 police were called to reports of a burglary.
      “The caller reported that a number of items had been stolen.
      “Officers supported by police dogs and National Police Air Service were deployed and searches were conducted in the local area but there was no trace of the suspects.

      “No arrests have been made at this time and enquiries are ongoing.
      “Anyone with any information in relation to the incident is asked to contact Cheshire Police.”

      Moment woman is ‘knocked out’ after throwing punches in football hooligan fight after Crystal Palace and Brighton game

      by

      A WOMAN was among a trio of hooligans who threw punches in a shocking brawl after a football game – before she was knocked to the ground. Daisy Adams, 23, her brother Calum Adams, 28, and ex Oliver Treagus, 22, were caught on CCTV in the shocking fight on the streets of Brighton.

      The clash came after a Brighton & Hove Albion and Crystal Palace match in March this year and the trio have now been dragged before the court.
      Footage showed the group approaching a pub, before they started shoving security outside the door.
      Bystanders can be seen trying to intervene as the trio start throwing punches as the guards try to protect themselves.
      Daisy can be seen rushing at and punching the security as they try to hold her back.

      Innocent onlookers and security can be seen tumbling to the ground as the violent scuffle takes over the footpath.
      Amid the chaos, Daisy is knocked to the ground and appears to be knocked out, with a man hurrying to try to get her off the wet concrete.
      Her brother Calum had started causing issues in the hours prior, when he approached a group of Crystal Palace supporters as they left Brighton Station.
      He started abusing the group and being aggressive towards cops, seeing his match day ticket cancelled.
      Most read in Football
      Then, at 9.30pm, the violence outside the pub erupted.
      The trio had previously admitted to affray and this week appeared in the Lewes Crown Court for sentencing.
      Daisy was slapped with an 18-month community order, with 15 Rehabilitation Activity Requirement sessions.
      She also has to pay a £200 fine.
      Brother Calum was locked up for six months, and also given a six-year Football Banning Order.
      And Dasiy’s ex Treagus was sentenced to 150 hours of unpaid work as part of an 18-month community order. He must also pay a £200 fine.
      A four-year Football Banning Order was also imposed.
      Sussex Police’s dedicated Football Officer, Darren Balkham, said: “The behaviour of the Adams family and Treagus was appalling.
      “Not only in how Calum spoke to officers before the match, but also in their drunken behaviour later in the night.
      Read more on The Sun
      “As a result, Calum Adams and Oliver Treagus have been served with Football Banning Orders which prevent them accessing football matches.
      “This case demonstrates our determination to catch offenders, and to ensure that football supporters and the wider public can attend matches or go about their business safely.”

      Premier League teams will be BANNED from European Super League thanks to legislation introduced by Rishi Sunak

      by

      ENGLISH teams are set to be BANNED from the European Super League.The controversial proposal could come back into the limelight after a court determined Fifa and Uefa acted against law when they blocked its formation in 2021.

      Twelve clubs tried to form a breakaway division but after much backlash the sides pulled out one by one.
      But following the court’s new ruling, the European Super League is back in the fold with Barcelona already revealing they are “satisfied” with the decision.
      However, the British government could prevent Premier League teams from being involved in its possible comeback.
      After the debacle two years ago, an independent football regulator has been put in place by the government from 2024.

      They promise to stop clubs from joining “breakaway or unlicensed leagues.”
      After this morning’s court decision a government spokesperson said: “We note the decision by the European Court of Justice’s judgement with regard to the European Super League.
      “The attempt to create a breakaway competition was a defining moment in English football and was universally condemned by fans, clubs and the Government.
      “We took decisive action at the time by triggering the fan-led review of football governance, which called for the creation of a new independent regulator for English football.

      “We will shortly be bringing forward legislation that makes this a reality, and will stop clubs from joining any similar breakaway competitions in the future.”
      Tory MP Tracy Crouch previously said: “I am pleased that the Rishi Sunak, a passionate football fan himself, recognises that fans throughout the pyramid want to see the long-term financial sustainability of their clubs and have a greater say in how they are run.
      “On the pitch, English football is admired the world over, but it is important that measures are put in place to ensure our national game is fit for the future.
      “This is exactly what an Independent Regulator will do.”
      The latest idea put forward by European Super League chiefs is that up to 64 clubs should leave Uefa to form a new competition.
      That would be without any Prem clubs and Madrid-based sports marketing firm A22 is using the success of English football as a justification for a rival tournament. More

      Hated European Super League is back on the table after shock court ruling in HUGE blow to Uefa and fans

      Twelve of Europe’s biggest clubs proposed the formation of a European Super League two years ago.
      The proposal was met with significant backlash as fans across the continent protested the idea.
      Premier League clubs pulled out one by one following the visceral reaction from fans, who now fear the Super League could be introduced after all.
      Now the Super League has announced a new open format consisting of 64 teams and three divisions – Star, Gold and Blue – with promotion and relegation included.

      Teams will play 14 games a season with seven at home and seven away, with the top teams battling it out in play-offs at the end of the season.
      One supporter reacted to the court ruling saying: “RIP football as we know it 😭”
      Another added: “Football is about to be ruined then…”
      A third wrote: “We the fans still don’t want that shoddy league.”
      Most read in Football

      And another commented: “Super league here we go.”
      Spanish giants Barcelona have instantly voiced their “satisfaction” with the court ruling.
      In a statement published on their website, the Catalans wrote: “As one of the clubs driving the Super League project, FC Barcelona feels that the sentence paves the way for a new elite level football competition in Europe by opposing the monopoly over the football world, and wishes to initiate new discussions as to the path that European competitions should take in the future.”
      Club president Joan Laporta also released a video voicing his support for the hated Super League.
      And their fellow LaLiga rivals Real Madrid and their president Florentino Perez did likewise with a statement on their website.
      However, English football fans may not need to be concerned as Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and his government have promised to stop clubs from joining new competitions that would kill off the domestic game.
      And United released a statement confirming their anti-Super League stance.
      It reads: “Our position has NOT changed”.
      “We remain fully committed to participation in UEFA competitions, and to positive cooperation with UEFA, the Premier League, and fellow clubs through the ECA on the continued development of the European game.”
      Bayern Munich followed suit saying: “It’s very clear: the door for the Super League at FC Bayern remains closed.
      “Such a competition would represent an attack on the importance of domestic leagues and the statics of European football.”
      And Uefa president Aleksander Ceferin: “I hope they start that competition as soon as possible with two clubs.
      “I hope they know what they are doing which I am not so sure about. Football is not for sale.”
      But conspirators Real Madrid, Barcelona and Juventus are refusing to give up on their breakaway project despite it crashing and burning inside 48 hours two years ago.
      The latest idea put forward was for up to 80 clubs to leave Uefa to form a new competition.
      But that would NOT include any Premier League clubs, with Madrid-based sports marketing firm A22 using the success of English football as a justification for the new tournament.
      And in a boost to that trio of clubs the European Court of Justice ruled that Fifa and Uefa rules giving them the power to approve club competitions “are contrary to EU Law”.
      The Court said: “The Fifa and Uefa rules making any new interclub football project subject to their prior approval, such as the Super League, and prohibiting clubs and players from playing in those competitions are unlawful.
      “There is no framework for the Fifa and Uefa rules ensuring that they are transparent, objective, non-discriminatory and proportionate.
      “Similarly the rules giving Fifa and Uefa exclusive control over the commercial exploitation of the rights related to those competitions are such as to restrict competition, given their importance for the media, consumers and television viewers in the European Union.
      “The Court observes that the organisation of interclub football competitions and the exploitation of the media rights are quite evidently economic activities.
      “They must therefore comply with the competition rules and respect the freedoms of movement, even though the economic pursuit of sport has certain specific characteristics, such as the existence of associations having certain regulatory and control powers and the power to impose sanctions.”
      The only consolation was the Court not giving specific approval for Super League.
      It said: “That does not mean that a competition such as the Super League project must necessarily be approved.
      “The Court, having been asked generally about the FIFA and UEFA rules, does not rule on that specific project in its judgement.”
      Real Madrid and Barca have responded positively to the court’s judgement, while Super League CEO Bernd Reichart has voiced his approval.
      A statement read: “UEFA-monopoly is over. Football is FREE. Clubs are now free from the threat of sanction AND free to determine their own futures!”

      “For fans: We propose free viewing of all Super League matches.”
      “For clubs: Revenues and solidarity spending will be guaranteed.”
      Real Madrid released a statment that read: “At Real Madrid we welcome with enormous satisfaction the decision adopted by the Court of Justice of the European Union, which is responsible for guaranteeing our principles, values ​​and freedoms.
      “In the coming days we will carefully study the scope of this resolution, but I do anticipate two conclusions of great historical significance. Firstly, that European club football is not and will never again be a monopoly. And secondly, that from today the clubs will be the masters of their destiny.

      “The clubs see our right to propose and promote European competitions that modernize our sport and attract fans from all over the world fully recognized. In short, today the Europe of freedoms has triumphed again and today football and its fans have also triumphed.
      “In the face of the pressures that we have received for more than two years, law, reason and freedom prevail today. And for this reason, Real Madrid will continue working for the good of football.” More

      Millionaire ex-Billericay Town owner who splashed cash on Premier League stars & made himself manager on run from cops

      A MILLIONAIRE ex-Billericay Town owner who splashed cash on Premier League stars is on the run from the cops. Glenn Tamplin, 57, owns an £18million mansion and flaunts an expensive collection of cars.

      The millionaire used to own Billericay Town – and brought Jamie O’Hara
      But the former Essex football club owner is currently wanted by Hertfordshire Police.
      Tamplin, who had previously been at the helm of Billericay Town, is being hunted by cops as he failed to show up for court.
      Police today released his mugshot as he was set to appear before a magistrate for a breach of court order.
      But as he was a no-show, cops have asked for the public’s help.
      Read more on football
      Tamplin – who once urged players to call him ‘Daddy Pig’ – had been at the helm of Billericay Town.
      During his time as owner there, he brought former Premier League stars Jamie O’Hara, Jermaine Pennant and Paul Konchesky to the club.
      At Billericay, Tamplin poured £2m into the club, including a new pitch, stadium improvements and a giant mural… of himself receiving a message from God.
      Tamplin made himself manager in 2017, before sacking himself in February 2018, reappointing himself two days later and then resigning for good in April.
      Most read in Football
      In 2019, he quit Billericay citing fan abuse, before announcing his return to football with Romford in September the same year.
      Earlier this year he showed off his 69 acres of stunning land in Abridge, Essex.
      Tamplin’s property boasts his own nine-hole golf course and dune buggy racing track, the steel entrepreneur lives a life of splendid luxury.
      But sitting in the garage of his 18,500 square-foot mega-pad are a fleet of eye-popping super cars the dad-of-six has spent millions on.
      Among the extraordinary collection is a £2 million white Ferrari LaFerrari.
      The businessman once raised eyebrows by releasing a video of the squad singing along to R-Kelly’s hit ‘World’s Greatest’ and appointed himself as manager.
      When Tamplin eventually quit Billericay he spent 16 months in charge of eighth-tier Romford before resigning and reportedly moving abroad.
      Cops today said he was wanted as he’d failed to show up in court twice – adding that his last known addresses were in Watford and Essex.
      Hertfordshire Police said:  “Glenn Tamplin is still wanted.
      Read more on The Sun
      “A warrant was issued by St Albans Magistrates’ Court on July 12 for failing to comply with the requirements of a community order between October 19 2022 and November 4 2022.

      Tyson Fury hearing today as dad John arrives at court over £82,000 council tax row at their £1million mansion

      by

      TYSON Fury faces a court hearing today alongside his dad and brother after being accused of dodging a whopping £82,000 council tax bill for a car park at their £1million mansion. The two-time heavyweight boxing champion, 35, bought the property with his father John, 59, and sibling Shane, 32, which is just a stone’s throw from where they grew up.

      John has arrived at Chester magistrates court for the hearing – but Tyson, who is worth £130million, is not currently in the country after jetting out to Saudi Arabia last week on a private jet. 
      Shane is also absent for the hearing.
      John currently lives at the house in Styal, Cheshire, and the trio – worth jointly over £134million – have failed to cough up £82,166.85 to Cheshire East Council for the adjoining car park, court documents claim. 
      Multiple caravans and motorhomes are parked on the land behind impressive big black gates at the entrance to the home. 
      MORE ON FURY
      The hearing could see the Furys be hit with a liability order if found guilty, or in extreme cases even face up to three months in jail. 
      If granted, they could face “enforcement action”, meaning an unlucky bailiff will be given the unenviable task of reclaiming assets from the boxing family. 
      Married dad-of-seven Tyson dubbed The Gypsy King, is 6ft 9in.
      John is a 6ft 3in ex-pro boxer and bare-knuckle fighter, who once went to jail for gouging a man’s eye out.
