      I’ve been relegated and promoted from the Premier League – here’s how Leeds and Burnley can escape ‘yo-yo’ curse

      by

      SO now we know four  of the six clubs who will be promoted to or relegated from the Premier League.And we need to make sure this magnificent competition remains a meritocracy.Burnley have bounced back to the Prem under Scott ParkerCredit: RexLeeds are also returning to the top flight with two games to spareCredit: RexKarren Brady has seen relegation and promotion during her time as West Ham vice-chairmanCredit: GettyI’ve heard some supporters say: “It’s the same clubs going up and down” — but that’s  just not true. While this season the ‘three-up, three down’ did happen — or is about to — over the years that has not been a regular trend.There have been some yo-yo clubs, but remember in 2021-22 all the promoted clubs stayed in the Premier League and flourished.Just look where they are now. Fulham, Bournemouth and Champions League-chasing Nottingham Forest are all in the top half.READ MORE IN FOOTBALLSo, it can be done and we want to make sure that remains the case, in order to uphold the Prem as world football’s most vibrant and exciting domestic competition.Heck, we must be doing something right as the average top-flight  attendance this season is more than 40,000 and the full-house signs are up everywhere. A decade ago that figure was 36,000 and 20 years ago it was 33,000.If you analyse the stats, relegated clubs from the Prem finish on average ninth in their first  season in the Championship, then 12th in their second season.Most read in FootballThriving Nottingham Forest are fourth in the Prem after beating SpursCredit: RexBEST ONLINE CASINOS – TOP SITES IN THE UKThat does not suggest there is a long-term trend for teams  bouncing between the two leagues but it does mean we must keep a very close eye on the situation as the Prem should reward success, as well as punish failure.What we have to ensure is that on any given day any side can beat anyone else in the Prem.Scott Parker sheds tears in emotional celebration with family as Burnley boss retains hundred per cent promotion recordForest won at Liverpool in  September, just as Fulham beat the champions-elect this month.Ditto Arsenal, who lost at home to West Ham in February.Also, Forest, Bournemouth,  Fulham and Brighton are all in the top half, with Brentford 11th and Crystal Palace 12th. That suggests merit is alive and kicking.To those clubs chasing the Prem dream . . . good luck.So far Sheffield United and Sunderland have booked themselves two of the four play-off  places and both clubs will know that promotion to the top flight will bring unbridled joy to fans.It is the Willy Wonka golden ticket and the financial windfall can change the future.You are then in the big league, performing in front of a global audience of billions.There is increased revenue from TV money, sponsorships, attendances and countless other commercial opportunities which come knocking, whereas for those clubs who get relegated from the Prem it is a tough world out there.Cost-cutting is the name of the game as revenue drops by millions in one hit. I know, I’ve been there.Without parachute payments, the tough task of remaining in the Prem gets even tougher and relegation is ArmageddonI’ve lived with the pain of relegation and  joy of promotion and, believe me, you never forget either.The challenge for whichever club joins Burnley and Leeds in the Prem next season is sustainability.Spend wisely and don’t go overboard in the transfer market.There are examples of clubs who have managed the leap into the Prem after showing resilience and building strong foundations.They have spent on the right players, appointed the right manager and have treated survival as a starting point, not the finishing line.Promotion to the Prem can make or break you and if the powers-that-be abolish parachute payments — which they have threatened to — I predict a very bleak future for some clubs.Without parachute payments, the tough task of remaining in the Prem gets even tougher and relegation is Armageddon.Read More on The SunAs we near the last few hurdles in the campaign, some will dream and some will turn to despair.And that’s why it remains the game we all love.

      ‘He’s looked at me and punched me right in the stomach’ – Ryan Giggs reveals moment ‘mad’ Man Utd boss hit him

      by

      RYAN GIGGS has revealed the shocking impact a “mad” Manchester United boss made on him at their first meeting.The iconic winger was player-coach and then interim manager when he hung up his boots in 2014 after 24 years on the Old Trafford pitch.Ryan Giggs has detailed his surprising introduction to a new managerCredit: PA:Press AssociationIn that time, the Welshman dealt with legendary chief Alex Ferguson’s famous hairdryer.But Giggs then encountered something far stranger – and more physical – with one of the Scot’s successors.Fergie’s retirement in 2013 was followed by David Moyes’ mediocre nine months in charge.United have had nine other bosses since, if you include the temporary stints of Giggs, Michael Carrick, Ralf Rangnick and Ruud van Nistelrooy.READ MORE IN FOOTBALLBut when Louis van Gaal arrived 11 years ago, he looked a safe bet to at least steady the ship.The Dutchman had bossed both Barcelona and the Netherlands twice, also taking the reins at Ajax and Bayern Munich.But Giggs told of his extraordinary introduction to LVG when he flew to Holland to see the new Old Trafford chief.The former Wales boss told the Rio Ferdinand Presents podcast: “We met him in a hotel room. Louis was mad. He was mad.Most read in FootballEx-Barca chief Van Gaal chose Giggs as his Old Trafford No 2Credit: Getty Images – GettyBEST ONLINE CASINOS – TOP SITES IN THE UK”So… he’s opened the door, I’m with Ed Woodward [then United executive vice-chairman), and Louis looked at me and punched me right in the stomach.””He’s gone, ‘You are in good shape.’ and just punching—a little dig. I’m thinking, ‘What is he doing?'”Roy Keane cracks joke live on Sky Sports as he tells De Bruyne to join Man UtdVan Gaal then immediately took the wind out of Giggs again – by putting him on the spot over United’s squad.The two-time Champions League winner said LVG told him: “I have a list of names. I want you to tell me who stays and who goes.”Giggs explained he went through the squad and added: “I’ve just gone tick, tick… I think we were one out. “So instantly, he was like, ‘Yeah, I agree with that. Same thinking, same thinking’.”That shared verdict led to Giggs being offered and accepting the assistant manager’s role at Old Trafford which, like LVG’s reign, lasted until 2016The ex-Dragons hero says Van Gaal was “really good with me” – so Giggs “learned a lot”.Read More on The SunBut although that education made him feel “ready” for the top job, Jose Mourinho beat him to the position when LVG was sacked.However, no-one has close to living up to Fergie 27-year legacy during which Giggs and Co won the Premier League 13 times.Van Gaal was in charge of Man Utd from 2014-2016Credit: Mark Robinson – The SunBEST ONLINE CASINOS – TOP SITES IN THE UK More

      Chris Eubank Jr vs Conor Benn fight thrown into more chaos amid row over gloves

      by

      CHRIS EUBANK Jr and Conor Benn are locked in yet another row – this time over their fight gloves.The born rivals collide in a 160lb middleweight grudge match tomorrow night at Tottenham’s stadium – 35 years after their dads’ first fight.Chris Eubank Jr and Conor Benn weighing inCredit: ReutersConor Benn will wear these Everlast glovesBut drama ensued just 24 hours before the first bell after Eubank came in at 160.05lb – meaning he was an agonising half an ounce above the limit.And there was more chaos as Eubank’s team argued that Benn’s Everlast fight gloves should not have been signed off.Eddie Hearn revealed the argument stemmed over Benn wearing gloves made out of horse hair.But Hearn – who promotes Benn – says the British Boxing Board of Control have signed off on the gloves. READ MORE IN BOXINGHe told SunSport: “They weren’t happy about some horse hair. “Every glove that is approved by the British Boxing Board of Control, the fighters are able to use.”Conor Benn’s just wearing a pair of Everlasts that were approved by the Board.”A similar row ensued in 2022 when Amir Khan finally fought Kell Brook.Most read in BoxingCASINO SPECIAL – BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITSKhan had negotiated for no horse hair and Brook had to change his gloves in the ring – just moments before the bout was due to start.But Hearn confirmed: “Nothing in our contracts at all, no.Fans fear for Chris Eubank Jr with super-middleweight ‘looking like a corpse’ at Conor Benn weigh-in”In our contracts it’s just gloves that are approved by the Boxing Board of Control. Which they are.”But Eubank’s promoter Ben Shalom told us: “We have a contract that there’s no horse hair in the gloves and and that’s it. “So there cannot be horse hair in those gloves. It should be sorted immediately. Let’s see what happens.”In a video uploaded by Hearn’s Matchroom Boxing on YouTube, British Boxing Board of Control chief Robert Smith did sign off on the gloves. Eubank has already had £375,000 deducted from his purse per the rules in their contract due to missing weight – with the cash going directly to Benn.Benn had earlier weighed in surprisingly light at 156.4lbs – nearly 4lb under the middleweight limit.Much has been made of the fight weight heading into the second-generation grudge match.The born rivals first signed for a 157lb catchweight clash in 2022 – causing controversy with Eubank having NEVER fought that low.But it was KOd with just days to go as Benn tested positive for clomiphene – a banned substance known to boost testosterone.He protested his innocence and took his career to America – having two wins at the light-middleweight limit.Chris Eubank Jr vs Conor BennTHE countdown is ON to one of the biggest boxing events of the 21st CenturyFamilial tension and a rivalry that has been brewing for years will finally be resolved when Chris Eubank Jr and Conor Benn meet at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Saturday night.There has been huge drama in the build-up with the pair engaged in a war of words and multiple clashes in person.SunSport will have full coverage of the blockbuster clash all week and LIVE round-by-round coverage of every fight on a stacked undercard.Latest NewsAll the infoMeanwhile, UK Anti-Doping dropped the case against him, allowing Benn to fight on British soil again.But after the doping scandal, Eubank was in no mood to make concessions and demanded the bout be at the 160lb middleweight limit.There is only a 10lb rehydration clause – restricting what both can weigh on the morning of the bout.So both Eubank and Benn must be 170lb or under in 24 hours’ time.The fighters will be fined £100,000 for every pound they go over that limit.Hearn slammed Eubank for missing the weight: “He’s talked a lot about his professionalism, his dedication and he is a stubborn b*d.”And I just thought he would make championship weight. I mean, he clearly tried but it’s a little bit of unprofessionalism. Firstly not making the weight but he was an hour late.”He would have easily had the time to get the weight off if he would have turned up on time. “I felt like when he was there he wasn’t really getting the right advice either on what to do.Read More on The Sun”I don’t think that the half ounce will have any say in the fight at all but obviously there was a substantial fine and it’s just really about mojo.”Like right now Conor Benn’s on top of the world and Chris Eubank Jr is probably fuming, so it all helps.”Hearn flanks Benn on the stageCredit: PA More
