@ArMf777 Theres no real correct answer. There is no way just by looking at the face that you have it the right way up. If you take it that its now the right way up (by looking at the hook on the back) then the time is 18 mins past 5 (am or pm is unknown)

Croatia go out because a sensor detected a touch off a player's hair.
Rule applied correctly. That's not the debate.
The debate is who decides when a rule has outgrown its purpose.
That's a governance question. And it shapes everything that happens on the pitch.

Got an email this morning I wasn't expecting. Awarded a Scholarship for the MSD at
@ManMetUni
Wasn't sure the panel would see what I was trying to do. They did. September can't come soon enough. #BackOffTheBench #ComebackTrail

I asked ChatGPT to act like they were head of design at #Castore & design the new Everton kit for the 2026/27 season. Then I asked it to modernise our 1986 kit (all time favourite).
I think I'd buy both of these, but my wife thinks the all blue one is the same as last year's.

@darrenschorah1 @sayantan_01 Shame thats not real, nice though

Germany are out of the World Cup. Paraguay won 4-3 on penalties after a 1-1 draw.
No fluke. Paraguay defended a plan for 120 minutes against four-time world champions and didn't blink.
Organisation can beat quality. Just not very often.

Most people have heard of a Technical Director. Fewer could explain what one does.
They own the club's football identity. Same philosophy, academy to first team. Results show up years later.
What do you want me to cover about the TD role this week?

@NespressoUK Do you have any spare lids? I'm sat here with a cup that I can't even use. I just need the lid 🥹

[Anthony Savage BSc @TS77UK]

@NespressoUK every other Christmas, my family buy me a #Nespresso travel mug. Today the worst happened, I dropped it and cracked the lid🤦🏼‍♂️

Now the lid won't stay shut making it unusable. Where can I buy a replacement lid? I can't go without my morning cuppa #Desperation

The manager runs the team. The Sporting Director runs what the team depends on.
Recruitment. Budget. Academy. Agent relationships. Contract strategy.
No dugout. No glory. Just the decisions that shape the next three years.

Scotland v Brazil. 3-0 to Brazil. The scoreline is a lie.
Scotland were the better side for long spells. Two mistakes changed everything. VAR took one back. I always back the underdog. Scotland should be proud of that performance.

SD vs TD. People mix them up.
Technical Director: coaching, tactics, player development. The pitch.
Sporting Director: recruitment, budget, boardroom. The structure around the pitch.
One builds the team. The other builds what the team operates in.

@NevilleSouthall what a legend

[Anthony Savage BSc @TS77UK]

The Sporting Director job isn't just knowing football and business. It's teaching each side to speak the other's language. That's the gap I'm mapping. #BackOffTheBench #ComebackTrail

@instagram How am I meant to pass verification? On Safari, I log in and it logs me out. On Chrome it says I need to verify but doesnt give me the image. I click Hear the code and get an error "Sorry, this content isn't available right now"

@expertwith_AI Claude doesnt even like what you are offering:

[Anthony Savage BSc @TS77UK]

Everyone's hiring a Sporting Director. But what actually is one?
Not the manager. Not the owner. The architect. They decide what kind of club you're going to be, then build everything around it.
It's the role I'm working toward. MSD, Manchester Met, September.
