Newcastle United boss Eddie Howe has admitted he’s not sure why Elliott Anderson’s goal against Nottingham Forest on Friday night was ruled out. Anderson, 20, thought he had given Newcastle a second-half lead at the City Ground, only to see his goal ruled out for offside against Sean Longstaff. However, Longstaff did not appear to have handled the ball from an offside position in the build-up to Anderson’s goal – which would have been his first for Newcastle. “The VAT goal is a good place to start, really,” Howe said.…

But the FA is also concerned that the influx of new players could limit the path to the first team for English footballers. Post-Brexit, the introduction of the GBE in January 2021 has significantly impacted people who can be recruited from outside the UK.

There was always a hint of the soap operas of the time, of something lurking near you, as Sir Bobby inherited a partitioned dressing room and left it full of spiky characters who rambled with danger on and off the field. There was a sweat on the training ground and a gradual recovery. There were great days and nights, third place in…
