Jimi hendrix experience smash hits record value

THE dire warnings of a financial crisis seem a million miles away from the Premier League reality. When Chelsea are spending in a manner reminiscent of the early days of Roman Abramovich and Manchester City were ready to pay Lionel Messi whatever he wanted, talk of doom, gloom and a game on the verge of the abyss seems contradictory. But Juventus president Andrea Agnelli, chairman of the influential European Club Association, does not see a disconnect between his words and the landscape across the continent. Indeed, from Agnelli’s perspective, it is simple - the exceptions PROVE the rule. The Italian is measured, calm and compelling. You have to be when you inherit the legacy of The Old Lady. TRANSFER NEWS LIVE: Breaking news, juicy gossip and the biggest deals So for Agnelli, the Prem big spenders represent an expected but small proportion of the greater European market. A market which does face the biggest belt-tightening exercise in football history … [Read more...] about How Chelsea can spend £230m and splash out huge wages but NOT break any Financial Fair Play rules due to Covid-19

More info Liz Truss has hit out at Rishi Sunak’s plans to tackle the cost-of-living crisis during ITV’s leadership debate. The Foreign Secretary added: "We need to do better we need to take on Whitehall." She said: “Rishi, you have raised taxes to the highest level in 70 years. That is not going to drive economic growth. You raised national insurance even though people like me opposed it in Cabinet at the time, because we could have afforded to fund the NHS through general taxation. “The fact is that raising taxes at this moment will choke off economic growth, it will prevent us getting the revenue we need to pay off the debt.” Trending … [Read more...] about Tory leadership LIVE: Rishi fuming as Truss goes straight for him ‘Taxes will choke us!’

EMMA HAYES reckons ‘brain fog’ may have dimmed recollections of some of her earliest moments at the helm of Chelsea. But the Blues boss, 45, who marks her tenth year in charge of the WSL champs tomorrow has vivid memories of her first week and having no staff or office. The Camden-born head coach , who helped revolutionise the women’s game in England, recalls the initial sparse set-up when she took the job. A far cry from the investment that came eight years later, when the club broke the world transfer record for a women’s player, signing Pernille Harder from Wolfsburg for a fee reportedly in excess of £250,000. A decade ago, Hayes’s role was part-time. The Kingsmeadow gaffer juggled her managerial career with a job in her family’s currency exchange business Covent Garden FX. And Chelsea’s players were part-time too with their boss the only female manager in the league at the time.

ANALYSIS: For the first time since leaving office, former US president Donald Trump has started getting specific about what he would do if he wins a second term in the White House. The pitches he's made onstage over the past month in speeches from Washington, DC, to Dallas to Las Vegas are a stark contrast from ordinary stump speeches. He promises a break from American history if elected, with a federal government stacked with loyalists and unleashed to harm his perceived enemies. There has never been a potential candidate like Trump : a defeated former president whose followers attacked the Capitol, who still insists he never lost, and who openly pledges revenge on those he views as having wronged him. As his 2016 campaign and administration showed time and again, from the border wall to the Muslim ban, he and his aides worked furiously to translate rally slogans into official policy - whether or not there were legal or political barriers to overcome. And if Trump does … [Read more...] about The drastic plans Donald Trump is already promising for a second term as president
