New.
Leicester were set to unveil their kit for the new season last week, but the announcement was postponed. Was it because their new sponsor KBET is a hitherto unknown โ and illegal โ online bookmaker?

This is also our daughter's story, a very hard read for a parent. But I'm also so proud of Camille and Mo, who were willing to share it; and so angry with the UK governement, which is inflicting such pain on people whose only crime is to love the 'wrong' person. www.theguardian.com/artanddesign...

This is the reason why our British daughter and her Mexican husband could not & still cannot live in her own country, which is what they wanted to do. They're self-employed artists, not wealthy enough. Theirs is one case among thousands of others, some of them tragic.

Extraordinary news. TGP Europe, the company which enabled dozens of illegal Asian-facing sports betting operators to be registered in Great Britain - and sponsor PL clubs - has surrendered its licences. Good riddance.

It's a myth that footballers now play more games than before. What changed isn't the number of minutes - it's the intensity. Especially at Spurs. Me, leaning on findings by the brilliant @jburnmurdoch.ft.com on.ft.com/3SB2HJ1

Remember 777 Partners? This is where the former owners of Standard, Genoa, Vasco, Red Star and Hertha (and near-owners of Everton FC) are now - in a twilight zone of their own making. By @pbsportswriter.bsky.social and myself for @josimarfootball.bsky.social.

The scallops in Saint-Brieuc were delicious, youโll no doubt be glad to learn, and so was the ensuing conversation with Jocelyn Gourvennec, the elegant midfielder turned coach. Enjoy!

Screenshot of headline: THE TIMES VIEW Barring Marine Le Pen from the presidential election will inflame tensions
At a stroke, the judges have displaced one of the most popular politicians in the country, a presidential favourite no less, and dismayed the 12 million voters who supported her. The apparent muzzling of an anti-establishment figure will feed into the culture of grievance that propels the hard right across the world.
So on brand for The Times to help whip up the victimhood of the right, rather than calling it what it isโฆ
Criminal abuse of power. A corrupt politician being found guilty in a court of law.
Judges did their job. Le Pen muzzled herself. She is responsible for her own demise. Democracy is safer today.

The first video posted on @josimarfootball.bsky.social's new YouTube channel: the wild story of the unidentified gambling exec working for an illegal Vietnamese bookie who sat next to Keir Starmer at a Wolves game. Put together by our own @journoandy.bsky.social.

These folk are doing great work. The plethora of dodgy betting companies and shady money in English football is beyond shocking.

Now if DAZN didnโt come up with that $1bn for the Club World Cup rights - same DAZN that got about $1bn from FIFA 2034 World Cup hosts Saudi Arabia - where would the Club World Cup be? Market didnโt think it was worth half as much.

Real Madrid are at war with Spainโs referees. The president of Marseille is crying corruption. Turkey had to bring in a foreign ref to do a game. Feels like weโve reached a watershed in footballโs conspiracist tendency, and it is now genuinely dangerous.
