Appointing George Honeyman Sunderland captain is a vote of confidence by Jack Ross
George Honeyman’s appointment as captain is a very public vote of confidence in the midfielder by new manager Jack Ross. After a summer in which Honeyman’s future on Wearside has been called into question amid reports that he wanted to move on, this move should kill any such speculation stone dead. Ross sets great store in his captain, and before handing the armband to Honeyman he tried him out in the role during pre-season and spoke to the 23-year-old at length on Monday. And if Ross harboured any doubt over Honeyman’s commitment to the club, he would not have given him the honour of leading the team in what will be a pivotal season as the Black Cats seek to climb out of League One at the first attempt. Most Sunderland fans will trust Ross’ judgement. Others will need convincing. Back in May, when new owner Stewart Donald was still getting his feet under the table on Wearside, he was informed by a number of agents that their clients wanted out. Given that … [Read more...] about Appointing George Honeyman Sunderland captain is a vote of confidence by Jack Ross

Conservative MPs asked to withdraw letters demanding a vote of confidence in Theresa May
Conservative MPs have been asked to withdraw letters demanding a vote of confidence in Theresa May amid fears the Prime Minister could be on the brink of being forced out of Downing Street, sources have told The Telegraph. Government whips are trying to prevent 48 notes being sent to the chair of the party's ruling 1922 committee, as the number would trigger a crunch vote which Brexit-backing MPs think she would lose. Nobody knows how many letters have already been sent apart from Graham Brady, the chair, but aides close to the Prime Minister are nervous that the threshold could be reached in the coming days. Pro-Brexit sources are encouraging their Tory colleagues to send in letters in a bid to undermine Mrs May in the week she announced her plans for a future deal with the EU. MPs including Andrew Bridgen and Andrea Jenkyns have already submitted theirs, calling for a challenge to Mrs May which could come if she lost a confidence vote. But another … [Read more...] about Conservative MPs asked to withdraw letters demanding a vote of confidence in Theresa May
