Who's the billionaire behind London’s biggest mass eviction? He's the London philanthropist who says he's committed to solving homelessness. So why is Asif Aziz's Criterion Capital rushing to make hundreds of Londoners homeless in the coming weeks?

London’s β€œworst mass eviction in recent history” is underway; hundreds of households across London told to get out of their homes this week by the same landlord, ahead of the renters rights act. The landlord? Billionaire Asif Aziz’s Criterion Capital. www.londoncentric.media/p/asif-aziz-...

Nice piece. Have been Birmingham curious since Chris Davies joined and fair to say he's doing a pretty impressive job. Shame about Brady but WCYD. Probs too early for a Spurs return and honestly why burden him with that at this point.

No player in Serie A this season has more positively graded passes (74, execution) or line-breaking passes completed (120, progression) than Luka Modric

Thames Water spend around 30% of your bill on interest covering the debt mountain that was accumulated when it was looted under MacQuarrie a decade ago. That's just the will of the market.

Volume I 23,000 words on the future of football, yours to download and keep.

Here is the project I've poured my entire soul into for the last six weeks. If you like my football writing and find yourself thinking 'wow, I wish I could read 23,000 words of this,' you might enjoy Volume I.

I'm very, very proud of this:

This is it, arguably the most important move Spurs can make.

Tottenham will be dumb until they are not, and the biggest thing they can do to be not-dumb is hire a real DOF and then the permanent head coach.

Right, taking an *interim* position at *Tottenham Hotspur FC* is an incredibly high - or low, depending on yr pov - bar

He's so desperate that he'd both be happy to join and do so as an interim. Perfect! Very much in least worst territory πŸ₯²

Tottenham board finally sacks Frank, but still has no succession plan This is a failure at the executive level, not just at the managerial level.

Spurs sacked their manager three months too late and still somehow managed to not have an immediate contingency plan in place.

No serious football club operates this way. What are we even doing?

Yeah, hard to disagree [I agree] but *how* are we this incompetent? Aren't these people smart and know football etc? Couldn't they hire any number of well informed consultancies to support? Incompetence alone (while apparently true!) seems dissatisfying as a sole explanation somehow.
