🚨Kvaratskhelia, who was set to partner with Kendall Jenner in a commercial shoot, pulled out of the project after seeing the intimate scenes in the script.
It was reported that Kvaratskhelia canceled the contract, saying, "I'm a married man. I won't take part in any shoot that would upset my wife."
🚨🌺 BREAKING: PGMOL have reportedly started an investigation into referee Jarred Gillett over his decisions in Chelsea vs Sunderland.
They will review the penalty given to Sunderland, the yellow card given to Neto after a 50/50 challenge with Reinildo Mandava and other controversial decisions made by the ref during the game.
If found guilty, Gillett could face a four-year suspension, a huge fine and demotion to refereeing in the championship.
🚨 THREE REASONS MANCHESTER UNITED ARE HESITANT TO SACK MICHAEL CARRICK DESPITE THEIR RELEGATION TROUBLE!
Manchester United's hierarchy are reportedly in no rush to make a decision on Carrick's future, despite the club's position in the relegation zone.
According to reports, the board held crisis talks over his position, but the international break will now provide time for a full assessment of the season.
SO WHY IS CARRICK STILL IN THE FRAME?
1. THE FANS HAVEN'T TURNED AGAINST HIM.
Despite the poor results, there has reportedly been no widespread demand from supporters for Carrick to be dismissed. That matters to a board already facing pressure over the club's direction.
2. HE STILL HAS THE PLAYERS' SUPPORT.
United's comeback performances against Roma, winning 3-2, and their dramatic 4-4 draw with Aston Villa have reportedly strengthened the belief that Carrick still has the dressing room behind him.
3. THE BOARD ARE NOT CONVINCED A NEW MANAGER WOULD FIX EVERYTHING.
United have been linked with Julian Nagelsmann, Eddie Howe, Antonio Conte and Fabian Hürzeler, while Mauricio Pochettino has emerged as a surprise contender.
But the bigger question inside the club is whether changing the head coach would actually solve the deeper problems.
UNITED ARE NOT JUST CHOOSING WHETHER TO KEEP CARRICK. THEY ARE TRYING TO DECIDE WHETHER THE PROBLEM IS THE MANAGER OR THE CLUB ITSELF.
Would replacing Carrick really change Manchester United's situation?
🔙 A great moment to remember this amazing anecdote from Didier Drogba in his autobiography:
“Coach Di Matteo always did the same thing: he showed us a list of the top scorers from the opposing team. Normally, the list showed things like this:
‘Rooney: 22 goals, Van Persie: 15 goals. And so on’. When Barça’s list came up, I remember seeing Xavi in third place with 14 goals. In second place were Alexis Sánchez and Cesc Fàbregas tied, with 15 goals each…
And we all burst out laughing when the top scorer appeared on the screen. IT WAS MESSI WITH 63 GOALS... AND 14 OF THEM IN THE CHAMPIONS LEAGUE ALONE!
63 that season? It was such a crazy number that we looked at each other in disbelief and started laughing. What else could we do?
I even took a photo of the goal tally because it was outrageous.”
