EVERTON have approached David Moyes to be their new manager as they prepare to sack Marco Silva. The club tumbled into the bottom three of the Premier League after their 5-2 drubbing in the Merseyside derby last night, leaving Silva facing the chop as he arrived at Finch Farm this morning. The club have sounded out Moyes over returning as boss, who has made it clear he would be up for the challenge of reviving the fortunes of the Toffees. Now it is a case of the Everton board deciding when the time is right to dispense with Silva, who has lost his way on the back of three straight league defeats. Moyes has been preparing things behind the scenes to start work immediately should the call finally come. But they will only be able to persuade him to return to Goodison Park if they are prepared to offer him a deal beyond the end of the season.Everton owner Farhad Moshiri is in two minds whether the best approach would be to bring in a boss on a short-term deal until the end of the season … [Read more...] about Everton approach David Moyes to be new manager and save their season with Marco Silva set for sack after Liverpool loss

Animals by Emma Jane Unsworth review – pills, thrills and bellyaches
Animals, Emma Jane Unsworth's second novel, portrays an unconventional love triangle that from the very beginning promises to leave everyone involved heart-battered. Best friends Laura and Tyler are fellow deviants, enablers and co-dependants. When one shouts, the other comes running, whether what's promised is a night of ever more blurry nightclubs or a kicking by a drug-dealer. They live together in a ramshackle flat in Manchester and have dead-end jobs, but their dissolute lifestyle is less a case of being given a rough deal by recession Britain and more to do with being highly educated, under-stimulated and looking for oblivion. Tyler rules the roost, while Laura remonstrates and adulates in equal measure: it's a match made in hedonistic heaven.

"The potential use of the US financial system for illicit purposes is a very serious concern.

Trump aide jailed for lying to FBI in Russia probe
A US judge handed George Papadopoulos a 14-day prison sentence on Friday, noting that the former campaign adviser to US President Donald Trump had "lied in an investigation that was important to national security." Papadopoulos pleaded guilty last year to making false statements to the FBI about his contacts with Russian intermediaries. He is the first campaign aide to be sentenced in Special Counsel Robert Mueller's ongoing probe into possible collusion between Russia and the 2016 election campaign of then-Republican candidate Trump. "I hope to have a second chance to redeem myself," Papadopoulos told the federal court in Washington. "I made a dreadful mistake but I am a good man." Read more: What you need to know about the Mueller investigation Light sentence Government prosecutors had demanded a prison sentence of up to six months, saying that Papadopoulos' lies had impeded their investigation and that his efforts to cooperate were "at best begrudging."
