Many Everton fans have been left buzzing over some manager news that has emerged involving Niko Kovac.

As per The Daily Mail, the Croatian is now a candidate for the vacant position left by Rafa Benitez earlier this week, following the 2-1 loss away at Norwich City in the Premier League.

He has a lot of pedigree, having won four major trophies during his time at both Bayern Munich and Eintracht Frankfurt, including the Bundesliga title with the former.

With Frankfurt, he managed to take them from relegation candidates into the top half of the table, and members of the Goodison Park faithful feel as if he could do a similar thing with them.

Nonetheless, with nearly 300 games managed at a high level, the 50-year-old would certainly be an exciting appointment.

O novo presidente da Ponte Preta, José Armando Abdalla, começou a preencher os cargos da Diretoria Executiva. O mandatário anunciou, nesta quinta-feira, o advogado Gustavo Valio como diretor financeiro.

– Ele fez um ótimo trabalho na atual gestão e a definição do nome do diretor financeiro é muito importante, até porque precisamos começar a elaborar o quanto antes nosso orçamento para 2018, para sabermos como iremos administrar o clube com a redução de cota que tivemos em virtude do rebaixamento – justificou o dirigente.

Abdalla se reuniu com a Comissão de Transição, formada por Vanderlei Pereira, Gustavo Valio, pelo segundo vice-presidente Hélio Kazuo e pelo primeiro vice-presidente eleito Sebastião Arcanjo, para se inteirar das necessidades de todos os departamentos da Ponte Preta.

De acordo com o regimento interno da Macaca, o novo presidente tem até o dia 10 de janeiro para escolher todos os cargos da Diretoria. No entanto, o mandatário ressaltou que não tem todos os nomes ainda.

– Estamos conversando muito para tomar medidas acertadas e com muita calma. No momento não tenho ainda previsão de quando anunciaremos os demais diretores, entre estes o de Futebol, mas na medida em que as decisões forem tomadas iremos anunciando – afirmou Abdalla.

Middlesex have signed Pedro Collins, the former West Indies left-arm seamer, for the 2010 season

Middlesex have signed Pedro Collins, the former West Indies left-arm seamer, for the 2010 season. Collins will link up with the Middlesex squad in mid April, and joins a pace attack which already contains Iain O’Brien, the former New Zealand paceman, as well as Steven Finn and Middlesex’s player of the year for the last three seasons, Tim Murtagh.”I am delighted to be returning to England to play county cricket this summer,” said Collins. “Playing at Lord’s with West Indies was always a special experience and the thought of playing there for Middlesex with the home support on my side is very exciting. The Club have made some good signings this summer to complement a strong squad so I look forward to helping the club challenge for silverware.”Collins, 33, played 32 Tests for West Indies, taking 106 wickets, and also took part in 30 one-day internationals. His last international appearance came in a Test against India at Kingston in 2006, after which he had a two-year stint at Surrey as a Kolpak player, courtesy of his native Barbados’s trade links with the United Kingdom.After picking up just 16 wickets in five County Championship games last year, he was released by Surrey at the end of the 2009 season, but went on to have a successful time with Barbados, his 26 wickets helping them clinch second place in the domestic four-day competition.”We are delighted to have secured the services of Pedro Collins,” said Angus Fraser, Middlesex’s managing director of cricket. “Pedro will bolster Middlesex’s seam attack, bringing experience and variety to it. He has experience of bowling in English conditions and has had a very good domestic season in the Caribbean, in which he took 26 wickets at an average of only 17.53 for Barbados.”

A novela da contratação do lateral-esquerdo Juninho Capixaba por parte do Corinthians parece estar perto do fim. Nesta terça-feira, o jogador publicou em sua conta no Instagram um longo texto de despedida do Bahia. A tendência é que ele acerte um contrato de cinco anos com o Timão. No entanto, a atitude do atleta gerou um mal-estar no diretoria do clube baiano, que não gostou da antecipação da notícia.

O ruído fez com que dirigentes do Bahia chegassem a anunciar a suspensão da negociação, mas da parte do jogador há a convicção de que a situação será mantida. O Corinthians não se manifestou sobre a publicação do jogador.

No texto de despedida, Juninho lembra sua trajetória no Bahia e faz um agradecimento ao clube e à torcida. Com 20 anos de idade, ele tinha mais de cinco no tricolor baiano, pelo qual foi revelado. Destacou-se no Campeonato Brasileiro, chamando a atenção do Corinthians.

“Nesse momento difícil de despedida, eu quero agradecer a todos e não poderia deixar de reservar um espaço especial neste texto para a Nação Tricolor, que sempre me apoiou desde que eu fui lançado”, escreveu Juninho na mensagem.

O jogador não revelou o destino, nem o Corinthians ainda confirma a contratação. No entanto, ele vinha negociando há tempos com o Timão e já havia chegado a acordo salarial com o clube. O entrave era a tratativa com o Bahia, que exigiu dinheiro mais jogadores emprestados para ceder o lateral.

As partes estavam muito perto de uma cordo, mas esbarraram na pedida do Bahia de ter o goleiro Douglas como um dos jogadores emprestados. O Timão não gostaria de ceder o arqueiro. O lateral-esquerdo Moisés também seria incluído no pacote. Agora, o imbróglio parece resolvido.

Juninho Capixaba é uma das opções para suprir a saída de Guilherme Arana, vendido ao Sevilla (ESP). A comissão técnica vê enorme potencial no jogador, mas ainda considera que ele precisa de mais experiência. Por isso, o Corinthians também está perto de contratar Danilo Avelar, lateral de 28 anos que está emprestado ao Amiens (FRA) pelo Torino (ITA).

Até o momento, o Timão anunciou a contratação do atacante Júnior Dutra e tem tudo certo com o zagueiro Henrique e o volante Renê Júnior. Também negocia com o meia Gustavo Scarpa, do Fluminense, e o centroavante Tréllez, do Vitória.

Pete Graves has revealed some shocking Newcastle United transfer news involving Jesse Lingard.

The Lowdown: Deal alive?

The Athletic journalist David Ornstein claimed earlier this week that a move for Lingard to St James’ Park was on the verge of collapse, with Everton, Tottenham Hotspur and West Ham United also seeing approaches turned down.

However, 90min journalist Graeme Bailey appeared to give some hope to the Toon Army, claiming that the deal is not completely dead.

With just a few days of the January transfer window remaining, a lot of twists and turns can still happen, so Lingard moving to the northeast is not a prospect which should be completely ruled out just yet.

The Latest: How much?!

As per Sky Sports journalist Graves, the full package in the potential deal for Lingard to switch to Newcastle could work out at nearly £1m a game, if Manchester United get their way.

While a fee has not been agreed between the two clubs yet, Graves has not ruled out the transfer, although he claimed that it looks unlikely at this stage, saying:

“Lingard wanted to sign (#nufc) and felt he had blessing from Rangnick.

“Clubs couldn’t agree fee (one source told me full package could work out “nearly a million pounds a game”).

“Remains to be seen if they’re able to resurrect, but doesn’t look likely.”

The Verdict: Get it done

While signing Lingard on loan looks to be expensive for the Magpies, they need to weigh up how much they would spend on him now compared to how much money they could lose at the end of the season by being relegated from the Premier League.

Quite simply, the 29-year-old could make the difference for them to stay up, given his past heroics and the fact that he knows the top flight well.

Described as ‘sensational’ while on loan at West Ham last season by Arsenal and Premier League legend Nigel Winterburn, his nine goals and five assists there showed that he can be deadly in front of goal, and that is exactly the extra quality that Eddie Howe’s team will need to give them the best fighting chance of retaining their top-flight status.

Chris Gayle finished agonisingly short of becoming the first man to make two international Twenty20 centuries, but by the time he was run-out he had already swiped West Indies to a total that provided too tall for India’s batsmen who yet again floundered

Chris Gayle finished agonisingly short of becoming the first man to make two international Twenty20 centuries, but by the time he was run-out, he had already swiped West Indies to a total that proved too tall for India’s batsmen who yet again floundered against the short ball. The defeat leaves India facing an early exit for the third straight global tournament, and the same questions about batting technique which were raised followed the elimination from last year’s World Twenty20 will be asked again.After Gayle’s slaphappy innings, in which almost all his runs came on the leg side, India’s top-order weren’t given anything to drive by West Indies’ new-ball bowlers. They faced the barrage of bouncers promised before the match, and even the short deliveries of the gentle medium-pacers Darren Sammy and Dwayne Bravo discomfited them initially.The home side’s fielding was also a dramatic improvement to the error-strewn show against Sri Lanka, with Dwayne Bravo and Kieron Pollard being exceptional. India’s batting slide started with an athletic forward-diving catch by Pollard at square leg to dismiss opener M Vijay, who again failed to replicate his IPL form on the more demanding tracks in the Caribbean. Gautam Gambhir was also having a tough time, and just after edging a bouncer from Kemar Roach in the fifth over between slip and the keeper, he failed to evade a scorching short ball to glove to Denesh Ramdin.Two overs later, Rohit Sharma, the only batsman to enhance his reputation in the pasting by Australia, was controversially dismissed after the ball lobbed off his arm to the keeper. He stood his ground and asked Billy Bowden to call for the third umpire. After consultation with Simon Taufel, Bowden upheld his original decision, and India were down to 38 for 3, and the asking-rate was in double digits.There were fitful efforts to resuscitate the chase: first by Suresh Raina and Yuvraj Singh, who showed glimpses of their top-class hitting in a 42- run stand, but both holed out in the space of five deliveries. MS Dhoni and Yusuf Pathan, two of the quickest scorers, swung a few sixes, and with 32 needed off the final two overs, it wasn’t only the most one-eyed of fans who were hoping for a win. However, Bravo’s slide-rule throw from long-on ended Dhoni’s stay and with it, the big crowd in Barbados knew an important win was sealed.Unlike West Indies’ effort, the Indian fielding, usually a barometer of their performance, was shoddy, spilling two chances, one of which proved extremely expensive – Dhoni and Pathan colliding into each other as they went for a skier near square leg when Gayle was on 47, after which he blasted 51 off 26 deliveries.Gayle was just opening out when that catch went down; he had warmed up with a whip over long-on for six in the eighth over and followed it up in the next with the biggest six of the tournament, off Pathan, which bounced on the roof. He then extended Ravindra Jadeja’s poor tournament by smearing his second ball, a full toss, for a flat six. Next up was Zaheer Khan, who was flicked over square leg for four, then Yusuf was clubbed down the ground so flat that the non-striker Sammy fell to the ground to take evasive action.Then, Dhoni’s gamble of giving Raina the 17th over went awry, when Gayle smacked a couple more leg-side sixes. Gayle found the roof behind midwicket again in the next over, and looked set for a century when he entered the final over on 96. However, after Bravo and Ramnaresh Sarwan were sent back by Ashish Nehra, he tried to scramble back a second on the fourth delivery, but the end of his bat bumped in the air as he dived full-length to try and make his ground, and was run-out.He was given good support by three partners through the innings. First Shivnarine Chanderpaul, who never really hit top gear though he showed off a range of reverse-sweeps, set up the base with a steady 80-run stand. West Indies then sent in a pinch-hitter Sammy, who played an array of proper cricketing shots, the highlight of which was a chip for six over long-off, to collect 19 off 10 deliveries. Finally, Pollard showed his batting is as much about power as timing during a quick cameo.West Indies can bask in the glow of overwhelming India, but their celebrations will be tempered by the knowledge that they are still likely to need to beat a red-hot Australia to progress to the semi-finals.

Rangers haven’t agreed an option to buy Aaron Ramsey at the end of his loan spell from Juventus, according to The Athletic’s Jordan Campbell says. 

The lowdown

The Gers managed to pull off what Sky Sports reporter Keith Downie called an ‘extraordinary signing’ on the final day of the January transfer window, bringing in the Wales midfielder until the end of the season.

He became their fourth addition of the month, joining centre-back James Sands, right winger Amad Diallo and right-back Mateusz Zukowski.

The 31-year-old has 16 months left on his Juventus contract and is presently valued at £4.5m by Transfermarkt.

The latest

In the comments of an article Campbell wrote for The Athletic on Rangers’ deadline day swoop for Ramsey, he was asked whether the loan agreement included a potential permanent option.

The journalist succinctly replied: “No option I’m told. Wages would be prohibitive.”

The verdict

Rangers have managed to agree a wage split with Juventus which, according to Ross Wilson, preserves their existing structure, but it appears that they would be unable to foot the entirety of the Welshman’s salary in the long-term.

That’s no surprise considering that Ramsey is thought to be on £400,000 per week at Juventus, while the Gers’ top-earner at present is reportedly £33,000-per-week Alfredo Morelos.

The signing has had many figures connected to Rangers buzzing with glee, with Ally McCoist telling talkSPORT that he’s ‘really excited’ and declaring it the club’s biggest deal for more than 25 years.

However, it looks as if Ramsey’s stay will be fleeting, unless he agrees to an enormous wage reduction to remain at Ibrox beyond the summer.
