Everton & Villa cannot compete with Lampard on transfer front

Coventry are back in the Premier League for the first time in 25 years, with GOAL being told why the likes of Aston Villa, Everton and Brighton will struggle to compete with Sky Blues boss Frank Lampard on the transfer front.

Chelsea risk revolt after failure of 'deluxe Brighton' project

There is a bitter irony to the fact that Chelsea will face Brighton on Tuesday at one of the lowest ebbs of the BlueCo 'project'.
