Huarte Overview

Given the direction in which transfer fees are heading, it feels like only a matter of time before someone breaks records by spending £100 million ($132m) on a goalkeeper. Shaka Hislop, who knows all about the importance of that position having filled it himself, has told GOAL that Manchester City - FFP sanctions permitting - and Chelsea are the clubs most likely to rewrite the history books.

Manchester City could sensationally retain their Champions League status next season even if the Premier League hits them with severe punishments like relegation. Senior football figures are increasingly concerned that the club might exploit a UEFA licensing loophole to continue playing European football.

Sir Alex Ferguson has lifted the lid on a missed opportunity that could have fundamentally altered the modern history of Manchester United. The legendary Scotsman revealed that he held a secret meeting with Pep Guardiola in New York, just months before his own retirement from the Old Trafford dugout.

Manchester City are facing the very real prospect of being stripped of their Premier League titles following a landmark guilty verdict of financial breaches. Former England striker Gary Lineker has delivered a stark warning to the Etihad hierarchy, urging them to accept their fate rather than continuing a legal battle that is damaging the image of the English game.
