Nah, he pretty much transformed British Cycling, a sport he fully understood, and deserves full credit for that. He's just been shite when branching out into other sports.

Or he just happened to be in charge when a cohort of good riders came through (and then the questions about doping etc).

In a similar manner is Southgate a good coach (creating the culture for success) or did he just get lucky with draws in major comps (which he did)

No, he turned it from a bumbling amateurish outfit into a properly run professional place (there's an argument that it went too far in the pursuit of medals over anything else). I'd say lottery money was more important in allowing that to happen that the athletes. We've always produced decent cyclists but they never had the structure in place to help them excel unless they were truly exceptional especially on the road.

That Ratcliffe is a piece of work isn’t he?

Tottenham have filed High Court proceedings against Manchester United co-owners Ineos.

An Ineos statement read: "Ineos Automotive has been a partner of Tottenham Hotspur since 2022, expanding on a partnership agreement that Ineos Group had in place with the club since 2020.

"We have a contractual right to terminate our partnership contract and in December 2024 exercised that right."

Do they?

In March, it was announced Ineos had reached a settlement with New Zealand Rugby in relation to a six-year sponsorship deal that started in 2022.

NZR launched legal proceedings against Ineos in the previous month, alleging that the British company failed to pay the first instalment of its 2025 sponsorship fee having chosen to end the deal early.

Is there something in the Manchester air that makes for basket case clubs?

Pleading no money and asking the public purse if it can contribute for their new plastic bowl yet able to spaff £60m+ on Cunha, try and persuade Mbuemo not to go to Spurs and supposedly start talks with Ekitike’s agent over a €100m transfer all while not actually selling anyone of any note, United really are becoming the new City in terms of attracting people’s derision. Hope the PL will be taking very careful interest in Utd’s accounts.
