@celticCSL On youth development, system is stacked against all Scottish clubs post Brexit given the pittances from the compensation fee tribunals. The argument of Celtic should be able to retain youth talent…Scottish clubs cannot compete with EPL (or even championship clubs) on wages.

[Luke Newling @LukeyNewlers]

@celticCSL This just isn’t a fair example though. Benfica currently (and until 27-28) do not operate in a league where broadcasting revenues are distributed evenly. They negotiate their broadcasting rights on a bilateral basis w/o having to share. Portugal also 2x the population of Scotland

There’s a reason why the club hasn’t put this statement on any of their socials. It’s absolute madness - burning the house down from the top.

[Luke Newling @LukeyNewlers]

A really lovely piece of writing this.

Rory McIlroy endured hell at Bethpage, and came out the other side.

Thanks for following our Ryder Cup coverage this week https://t.co/P1sKAZgaMP

Two points on Celtic’s financial results - one is that a football club paying £11m in tax (on revenues of £144m) means it is being run v.inefficiently and second…this completely contradicts the statement made by the board this month around compliance with UEFA PSRs.

[Kieran Maguire @KieranMaguire]

Celtic make profits of £46m on revenues of £144m. Club finished season with over £77m in the bank. Player sale profits £31m.

I’m sure the board are delighted, fans…less so.

Finally!!!!

@KieranMaguire There’s nothing really wrong with this though Kieran. To some extent it can just be helpful cash flow management etc.

[Luke Newling @LukeyNewlers]

Seriously interesting move and a very welcomed addition to UK + Ireland club rugby.

@rory_fans Completely agree, shoots a 70 today and he’s definitely still in it. He also left about 6-7 approaches/putts out there yesterday which was a good sign.

[Luke Newling @LukeyNewlers]

Mcilroy won that four separate times in the same round. The most incredible 6 hours of sport I can remember. Couldn’t be more delighted for someone.

[Luke Newling @LukeyNewlers]

Normal service resumed: wholesome.

[The Upshot podcast @UpshotTowers]

It was always gonna be hard to beat ITV's bid of £0 for the Club World Cup, but Saudi just about edged them out with their offer: $1 billion.

[Luke Newling @LukeyNewlers]

Now this really is wholesome.

[The Masters @TheMasters]

Poppy McIlroy converts the lengthy putt on No. 9! #themasters

[Luke Newling @LukeyNewlers]

Sounds legit and wholesome.

[Miguel Delaney @MiguelDelaney]

Chelsea getting through PSR by selling the women’s team to themselves shows the absurdity of the Premier League clubs’ self-governance at the wrong time

Nine clubs had no issue with this so a rule change didn’t get through

[Luke Newling @LukeyNewlers]

@BrianODriscoll He’s close to first pick for me. Vastly underrated.

[Luke Newling @LukeyNewlers]

Only conclusion is if they're not in breach they must be right at the cap. Problem with transparency is if you name players and their current wage it completely removes their negotiating position when looking to renew a contract / agree terms with a new club.

[Luke Newling @LukeyNewlers]

25/26 ssn for Bath - £6.4m cap + home grown creds of 600k (50k pp) + EPS creds of 400k(80k pp) + 1 player outside cap. Realistically - £7.4m + Finn. HG creds for Dunn, Ewels, Ojomoh, De Glan, Frost, Bailey, Bayliss, Obano. EPS creds for Lawrence, Stuart (maybe Underhill + Spen).

[Jim Hamilton @jimhamilton4]

With the news on Santi Carreras leaving Gloucester to go to Bath. Do fans want transparency on how much the deal is? How much is Santi worth. And how can Bath afford him.
Again, like every other sport.

[Luke Newling @LukeyNewlers]

Wholesome.

When I first went to Old Trafford in 1980 it cost £1.50 in the Stretford End.
