3 d. ago PSG ordered to pay Kylian Mbappé €60m in unpaid wages and bonuses

Dispute related to contract before exit for Real MadridCourt sided with player amid accusations of betrayalA Paris labour court has ruled Paris Saint-Germain must pay more than €60m to Kylian Mbappé in a dispute over unpaid wages and bonuses linked to the end of his contract before his 2024 move to Real Madrid.Lawyers argued last month before the Conseil de prud’hommes. The court sided with the player amid accusations of betrayal and harassment surrounding the breakdown of their relationship. PSG had been seeking €440m from Mbappé, citing damages and a “loss of opportunity” after he left on a free transfer. However, the court’s ruling can be appealed and is unlikely to end the dispute.

3 w. ago Thomas Frank defends his ability to lead Spurs after Arsenal humiliation

Manager says ‘I’m 1000% sure I know how to build a team’Frank insists continuity under Arteta has helped ArsenalThomas Frank has given a robust defence of his credentials at Tottenham, saying he was entirely convinced of his ability to rebuild the club and lead it to success. The manager is under mounting pressure after Spurs’ 4-1 derby humiliation at Arsenal on Sunday, a result that extended a troubling run.Tottenham have won three of 11 matches in all competitions since the end of September and it has been as much about the lack of spark and identity in many of the performances. It was especially so against Arsenal when Frank set up in a 5-4-1 formation and watched his team fail to lay a glove on their rivals. Continue reading...

3 w. ago Thomas Frank desperately needs a performance from his stalled Spurs team

Tottenham manager can afford a midweek defeat in Paris, but the same does not apply to Fulham’s visit on SaturdayWelcome, then, to another of those Spurs weeks, where the executives are deeply concerned and it is impossible to ignore the sense of foreboding. The 4-1 derby humiliation at Arsenal on Sunday ensured the club are playing a game of crisis-baton hot potato with Liverpool and surely the last thing that the manager, Thomas Frank, needs is a Champions League trip to Paris Saint-Germain on Wednesday night.This is not the real fear because it is just about possible to paint the game against the European champions as a free hit. Even in the best of times, nobody would have expected much from Tottenham there and, with two wins and two draws from four matches in the competition, they can afford to lose this one.
