Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has revealed who he is “hearing” is in line to replace Xabi Alonso if he is sacked by Real Madrid. Alonso has been under immense pressure in recent weeks and it was reported that he could have been sacked if Real Madrid lost to Deportivo Alaves at the weekend. Thankfully for Alonso, Real Madrid narrowly beat Alaves 2-1. This was only their third win in nine matches across all competitions. Real Madrid are back in action against Talavera in the Copa Del Rey on Wednesday night, while they host Sevilla in their final game of 2025…
Man City have made Crystal Palace centre-back Marc Guehi a ‘leading target’ as they look to overhaul their defensive ranks, according to reports. Guehi was on the verge of joining Liverpool in the summer transfer window before the Eagles pulled the plug on a deal while the England international was having his medical ahead of a move. That has seen the Reds maintain their interest in Guehi but there is more uncertainty over where he will end up as his contract expires in the summer. Most of the top clubs in England have been linked, while there is rumoured interest…
Alejandro Garnacho outshone two “woeful” Chelsea teammates with a brace, with fortunate head coach Enzo Maresca let off the hook against Cardiff City… A repeated criticism of Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca is that he tinkers with his team too much, and this remains a valid assessment of the under-fire head coach after his side’s Carabao Cup quarter-final against League One side Cardiff City. Speaking on Monday, Maresca confirmed that he would be “making some changes” from the team that beat Everton at the weekend, but he outdid himself by making eleven (yes, ELEVEN) alterations for Tuesday night’s game. Reece James,…
Tottenham Hotspur are set to sign Manchester City executive Carlos Raphael Moersen to take up the role of Director of Football, according to The Athletic. Moersen has been with the City Football Group – the company that owns City along with several other clubs worldwide – for 10 years but is reported by David Ornstein to be in “advanced talks” for a switch to London. In his current remit as Director of Football Transactions, Moersen plays a role in negotiating contracts with current and potential City players. He was also known to be the right-hand man of former City director…
Man City will fancy their chances against a terrible side on the road.
Manchester United ‘insiders’ have responded to Bruno Fernandes after the captain claimed that they wanted to sell him in this summer’s transfer window. Fernandes has been heavily linked with an exit from Man Utd in recent months. The Portugal international has comfortably been Man Utd‘s best player over the past years, but it was suggested that they could have cashed in on the centre-midfielder in the summer. Fernandes attracted heavy interest from Saudi Pro League side Al-Hilal ahead of the Club World Cup and a £100m transfer was mooted, but this deal did not end up going through. The 31-year-old…
FIFA have backtracked on the ticket pricing at the World Cup, having announced a ‘new tier’ with limited availability at an affordable price. The organisation had received widespread backlash for the obscene ticket pricing at next summer’s tournament, with the changes only accepted by a supposed man of the people and other like-minded individuals. FIFA sanctioned huge increases to the prices from the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, with not a single ticket for the final available for less than £3000. So, thankfully, FIFA, for a change, have acknowledged their wrongdoing and have added a ‘Supporter Entry Tier’ of tickets…
Sometimes Mediawatch wakes up grumpy and cannot be arsed to trawl through dozens of clickbait websites to highlight endless examples of clickbait sh*thousing and erroneous uses of words like ‘rampage’. It’s frankly quite depressing work and it’s only getting more bleak as publishers try ever harder to fight the losing battle with attention spans and Google. And then we hope that somebody in the media has been something of a prick and we can ‘watch’ them in the traditional sense of not averting our eyes while they dig themselves a massive big, prickish hole. So our thanks today to Michael…

Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester United reportedly ‘want’ the same manager as Thomas Frank and Ruben Amorim face being sacked in the coming weeks/months. Frank left Brentford to join Spurs in the summer, but he is already under serious pressure at The Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. The 52-year-old helped Spurs have a strong start to this season as he made his side more defensively resolute following Ange Postecoglou’s spell at the club, but results and performances have declined in recent weeks. Under Frank, Tottenham have only won three of their last eleven matches in all competitions since the end of October and…
