91 m. ago Tottenham leave £30m signing Mathys Tel out of Champions League squad

Kulusevski, Dragusin and Bissouma also omittedUefa rules force Spurs to cut six non-homegrown playersThomas Frank has left Mathys Tel out of his Tottenham squad for the league phase of the Champions League while he has been unable to find room in it for Dejan Kulusevski and Radu Dragusin – even though they could return from long-term injuries while there are still ties to play.Frank has been in an impossible position because of how the profile of his players has jarred with Uefa’s regulations.

The devastating Kobe earthquake was the final blow. The BoJ cut rates, bond prices rose and his losses spiralled to $1.4bn. His bet that markets would beat Japan brought down the bank.Barings’ collapse is perhaps a spectacular example of the “widowmaker” trade, where speculators think they can outsmart Japanese authorities.
