Manchester City will be wanting to utilise a considered transfer strategy this summer but some quick work now could see them seal a dream transfer.
According to The Athletic, Newcastle find themselves in a mad scramble to avoid breaching Profit and Sustainability Rules (PSR). On Sunday, June 30 the deadline will pass for Premier League teams to complete deals to ensure they have not made losses in excess of £105m.

It is believed that the Magpies are in such desperate need of sales they have offered Anthony Gordon to Liverpool in exchange for their defender Jarell Quansah. This was rejected by the Merseyside club but it perhaps shows the desperate position find themselves in.

If Newcastle cannot find a solution to this issue, they run the risk of a significant points deduction akin to that which Everton and Nottingham Forest suffered last season. Fortunately for City, this could benefit them.

The Blues are thought to be interested in signing Brazilian midfielder Bruno Guimaraes this summer. Defensive midfield is likely to be an area which needs strengthening this pre-season as Kalvin Phillips is expected to be sold.
Recently, Guimaraes’ £100m release clause at St James’ Park expired which was thought to have strengthened Newcastle’s resolve to keep the midfielder. While Eddie Howe would be reluctant to sell the midfielder, he may not have another choice if that is the difference between avoiding a points deduction and not.
What is more, City could bag themselves a bargain if desperation to make a sale builds to a point where Newcastle have to make a transfer. Nobody expected Gordon to be offered out this window so Guimaraes being offered out this weekend is not off the cards either.

ESPN’s Mina Kimes ranks Kyle Shanahan as 2nd-best head coach in the NFL
How many NFL head coaches are better than Kyle Shanahan? Mina Kimes thinks the answer is one.

ESPN NFL analyst Mina Kimes was joined by The Ringer’s Kevin Clark on her podcast, The Mina Kimes Show featuring Lenny, last week, and the two experts each ranked the top-10 head coaches in the NFL. Clark ranked San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan sixth, behind Andy Reid, Bill Belichick, Mike Tomlin, John Harbaugh, and Sean McVay. Kimes, on the other hand, ranked Shanahan second, only behind Reid.
Shanahan, of course, was hired by the 49ers heading into the 2017 NFL season. A franchise in disarray after a series of bad front office/head coach hiring decisions by CEO Jed York, Shanahan has helped turn the Niners around. While the 49ers have undeniably had their struggles during his tenure, they have also reached the NFC Championship game three times in the past four years, including an NFC Championship in 2019.
“The guy, I think, is the best offensive play-caller in the NFL. He builds machines that are largely quarterback-proof in a way that is just remarkable,” Kimes said about Shanahan. “He has tortured every defense since coming to the NFC West. As a play-caller, the amount of value he brings is so exceptional… After Reid, if I was just picking a guy to win one game, I would pick him.”
While Clark was obviously high on Shanahan, he pointed to Shanahan’s 52-46 win-loss record and lack of Super Bowl title as the main reason he was unable to crack his top-five.
Kimes pushed back on ranking Shanahan over McVay, acknowledging that Clark likely put more emphasis on a coach’s resume than she did. To her, Shanahan is in a league above McVay.
“I would take Kyle Shanahan if I was building a team from scratch over all but like eight quarterbacks in the NFL,” Kimes said. “Which is an absolutely deranged thing to say about a coach, and I don’t feel that way about any of the other coaches on this list [other than Reid].”
You can watch Kimes’ full conversation with Clark below. Where do you think Shanahan ranks among NFL head coaches? How many other coaches would you pick over him? Let us know in the comments.

Mina Kimes clearly missed hundreds of snaps taken by Nick Mullens and CJ Beathard. along with the mercurial reality of Jimmy’s performances
It’s an astonishing shallow take “qUarterBacK pRoOf”
Shanahan isn’t a better head coach than Reid or Belicheck… and there isn’t anything wrong with that at all.
But it definitely devalues these talking head opinions to time wasting drivel.
I’m glad he’s the HC of the Niners, they probably cannot improve on him, but he’s definitely not the second best head coach in the league…. Probably somewhere between 4-6 depending on the day/opponent

There’s generational and then there’s Antoine Dupont’ – France star delivers again as ‘The Martian’ produces otherworldly display
Antoine Dupont may already be one of the greatest to have ever played the game despite the scrum-half not yet turning 28.
Only a Rugby World Cup win eludes a player that has done pretty much everything else in the game, inspiring Toulouse to both domestic and European success, and France to a Six Nations Grand Slam in 2022.
Dupont once again produced a stunning performance on Friday to help Les Rouge et Noir lift the Top 14 title for the fourth time in five years.
Dominant display
The 27-year-old played a key role as Ugo Mola’s men absolutely demolished Bordeaux-Begles 59-3 in the showpiece event.
It was a demoralising night for UBB but that was mainly due to Dupont and his team-mates, who did the tormenting.
His second try was particularly special as a fine team move put the France superstar in space. Dupont still had plenty to do but he brilliantly chipped the ball over the top of international team-mate Maxime Lucu and raced ahead to touch down.
As Planet Rugby features editor Jared Wright stated: “This was special from Antoine Dupont: The Martian.”
“It honestly wouldn’t surprise me if Dupont drives to training in a spaceship,” they wrote, while Tight Five Rugby added: “Antoine Dupont does it AGAIN. Enjoy it, the most talented player to ever live.”
‘Once in a century player’
Munster fan and analyst Three Red Kings had high praise for Dupont, labelling him as one of the greatest rugby union has ever seen.
“There’s generational and then there’s Antoine Dupont. A once in a century type of player,” he wrote on Twitter.
Despite the World Cup disappointment, Dupont has enjoyed another incredible year, highlighted by Toulouse winning the double..
He also split his time between XVs and Sevens, but his performances have rather remarkably never dipped in either form of the game.
Dupont now switches his attention to the Olympics where he will hope to win a gold medal for hosts France at the Paris games.
“Antoine Dupont has won a Sevens World Sevens title, the Champions Cup and the Top 14 this season,” journalist Cian Tracey wrote.
“Sevens rookie of the year award.
“Man of the match in the Champions Cup final.
“Man of the match in the Top 14 final.
“Olympic medal next…?”

Ugo Mola, le lourd héritage

A 42 ans, l’ancien trois-quarts toulousain a déjà entraîné Castres, Brive et Albi. Panoramic
Le désormais ex-manager d’Albi, 42 ans, s’apprête à prendre les rênes du Stade Toulousain. L’ancien trois-quarts international devra assumer le lourd héritage de Guy Novès, qui a tout gagné à la tête du club haut-garonnais.
L’information a pu surprendre lorsqu’elle a été dévoilée mi-mai : Ugo Mola sera le nouveau manager de Toulouse. La direction des Rouge et Noir, pressentant le départ de Guy Novès pour le XV de France, a donc décidé de faire appel à l’ancien entraîneur d’Albi. Qui connait bien la maison toulousaine puisqu’il y a évolué en tant que joueur pendant six saisons (de 1990 à 1996), remportant trois titres de champion de France (1994 1995 et 1996) et une Coupe d’Europe (1996). L’ancien ailier ou arrière a également côtoyé le plus haut niveau international puisqu’il compte douze sélections en équipe de France (pour 6 essais inscrits) et a notamment disputé la Coupe du monde 1999. La finale perdue contre l’Australie constitue d’ailleurs son dernier match en bleu.

Si Ugo Mola a derrière lui une jolie carrière de joueur, son CV d’entraîneur est en revanche un peu plus léger, puisqu’il n’a toujours pas remporté le moindre titre. Son parcours de technicien, il le débute en 2005 en amateur au SC Mazamet, avant de diriger Castres pendant quelques mois (2006-2007), En 2008, il débarque à Brive, d’abord en tant qu’adjoint du duo Seigne-Laussucq, puis en tant qu’entraîneur en chef à partir d’octobre 2009. Mais la relégation du club en Pro D2 en juin 2012 conduira à son éviction. Arnaud Mignardi, qui l’a connu une saison en Corrèze (en 2011-2012), se souvient d’un entraîneur très proche de ses troupes : «Il parle beaucoup avec ses joueurs, les motive, et il est très à l’aise avec les médias», nous confie le trois-quarts centre briviste.
Après son passage à Brive, Ugo Mola prend du recul avec le métier d’entraîneur et devient consultant pour Canal +. Il y reste deux ans, avant de reprendre du service au SC Albi, qu’il échoue à faire monter en Top 14 (défaite en demi-finale d’accession face à Mont-de Marsan il y a trois semaines). Lorsqu’ils l’ont engagé à l’été 2014, les dirigeants albigeois tablaient sur un projet sur trois ans. Sauf que son contrat prévoyait une clause libératoire dans l’hypothèse où un club de Top 14 souhaiterait l’engager. Et l’appel du Stade Toulousain a été trop fort pour lui, l’enfant du pays, qui réside toujours dans la Ville Rose.
Sollicité par Boudjellal, adoubé par Novès
Sur les bords de la Garonne, Ugo Mola aura donc la lourde tâche de succéder à Guy Novèsqui, en 24 ans sur le banc du Stade Toulousain (1988-1990 puis 1993-2015), s’est forgé le plus beau palmarès du rugby tricolore (quatre coupes d’Europe et dix boucliers de Brennus). Arnaud Mignardi, lui, est persuadé qu’il peut réussir ce nouveau challenge : «A Brive, il y avait déjà de bons joueurs, mais à Toulouse, c’est un ton au-dessus, donc il pourra encore plus exprimer ses qualités», assure-t-il. Les plus sceptiques jugeront Ugo Mola trop inexpérimenté : pas un titre en tant qu’entraîneur, pas une expérience dans un club du haut du tableau. Sauf que Toulouse n’est pas la première équipe du Top 14 à tenter de l’enrôler. Mourad Boudjellal avait également pensé à luipour succéder à Pierre Mignoni au poste d’entraîneur des trois-quarts à Toulon.
Ugo Mola a également reçu la bénédiction du Guy Novès, qui a forcément eu son mot à dire dans le choix de son successeur. Le technicien rouge et noir assurait d’ailleurs vouloir «faire en sorte qu’Ugo, que j’ai eu comme joueur, puisse prendre ses fonctions dans les meilleures conditions». De là à faire d’Ugo Mola le fils spirituel du futur sélectionneur des Bleus, il n’y a qu’un pas. Et pour le franchir, le nouvel homme fort du club devra faire ses preuves et convaincre très
