The awkward question facing Chelsea's 'football nursery'
Strasbourg fan protests reveal uncomfortable truths about multi-club ownership
Strasbourg are a success story with the youngest team in Europe. Strasbourg are also owned by BlueCo and are a "sister club" of Chelsea.
I went to the city to try to square a circle that now defines this club. I donโt know if you ever can.

Southend and Scunthorpe: phoenixes from the football 'bin fire'
Six years ago, Southend and Scunthorpe met in League One. Now they meet again in very different circumstances. Daniel Storey went along to tell their stories
Southend United and Scunthorpe United were both almost destroyed by their former owners. Now, in non-league, new life and new hope.
I went to watch a resurrection derby to tell their stories and show why being saved matters so much.

Hearts, Hibs and the promise of a new dawn for Scottish football
The Old Firm may have a tight grip but the Edinburgh derby showed me change really is in the air
Hearts and Hibs are both now part-owned by Premier League clubs.

Crystal Palace and the great sense of injustice
Daniel Storey pays a visit to Selhurst Park, where deep pride meets bitter resentment
I went to Crystal Palace, who must be the most fascinating Premier League club right now. Vast resentment towards authority, questions about their own ambition and the best manager they have ever had.
It all feelsโฆhard to process.
