What a player this man was. My favourite non everton player growing up. Not many could read a game better than him. The perfect Sweeper. That Milan defence under Sacchi was immense and Baresi marshalled it perfectly. RIP.
Sad news from Italy as Franco Baresi has passed away this morning at 66 years old.
An absolute legend of the game with AC Milan and Italy, marking an era for different generations.
Thoughts and prayers with the family and the friends.
Rest in peace, Franco. ❤️🕊️
I suppose having a Season Ticket alone just isn't as valuable to American Billionaires these days. Season Ticket prices go up and it gives you less. Welcome to the new Everton.

🚨 NEW: Keir Starmer says Scotland and Wales fans should come together to support England against Argentina tomorrow
"I would very much encourage unity"
The Met had been examining claims that a £37,500 donation came from a foreign donor after a referral from the Electoral Commission
A spokesperson for Jenrick said: “These allegations are entirely false, but it is no surprise that an establishment determined to stop Reform from delivering the change that this country so desperately needs would resort to making these demonstrably untrue claims. I have had no contact with the Met Police whatsoever in connection with this matter”

💥Andy Burnham wins the Makerfield by-election, paving the way for him to challenge Keir Starmer as Labour party leader.
He won almost 25,000 votes, taking 55% of the vote, and beating Reform UK's Robert Kenyon by more than 9,000.
Please see our statement regarding the Premier League Independent Disciplinary Commission’s decision to award compensation to Burnley in relation to Everton’s PSR breach. We believe this is not consistent with how other Premier League clubs are treated.
Collina not the big, hard bastard he wants the world to believe he is then? If he had anything about him he'd be pulling his refs out of the tournament in protest. Infantino's a sycophant who'll do fuck all, the boot licking prick
FIFA says Somali ref Omar Artan will not take part in tournament
"FIFA is not involved in host country immigration processes, including visa adjudications, and has been informed by authorities that Mr Artan’s status will not be changed at present."
@terry__smith Absolutely! As the campaign has gone on, I think he's gotten stronger. On QT I thought he looked relaxed and a bit more open. I live in Abram, in the constituency, and whilst the Reform voters are very visible, there's still a lot of people who just won't vote for them.
I can confirm that I will be requesting the permission of the NEC to stand in the Makerfield by-election.
I grew up in this area and have lived here for 25 years. I care deeply about it and its people. I know they have been let down by national politics.
Ten years ago, I decided to leave Westminster. Why? Because, after 16 years, I came to the conclusion that our national political system does not work for areas like ours. I learnt this fighting its failure to invest in the Wigan borough, for justice for the Hillsborough families and against its treatment of Greater Manchester during the pandemic.
Over the last decade, I have been challenging this failure from the outside and building a new and better way of doing politics. We have built Greater Manchester into the fastest-growing city-region in the UK and put buses back under public control, introducing a £2 fare cap to help people with cost-of-living pressures.
However, there is only so much that can be done from Greater Manchester. Much bigger change is needed at a national level if everyday life is to be made more affordable again. This is why I now seek people’s support to return to Parliament: to bring the change we have brought to Greater Manchester to the whole of the UK and make politics work properly for people.
Millions are struggling and they need the Labour Government to succeed. It has already made changes to make life better for them in its first two years. After this week, we owe it to people to come back together as a Labour movement, giving the Prime Minister and the Government the space and stability they need as the by-election takes place.
I want to recognise the difficult decision taken by Josh Simons and the sacrifice he and his family are making. I have worked closely with him as Mayor on issues like flooding and illegal waste dumping and have seen first-hand how effective he has been. He has put the communities of Makerfield first, made a real difference for them and should take great pride in that.
Finally, I truly do not take a single vote for granted and will work hard to regain the trust of people in the Makerfield constituency, many of whom have long supported our party but lost faith in recent times. We will change Labour for the better and make it a party you can believe in again.

@joshsimonsmp You, and MP's like you, are the problem. Outsiders dropped into "safe" seats because of your connections. This Labour Party is so far removed from it's base. Good, local people overlooked because of past criticisms of Starmer and now even you're turning on him. Embarrassing.
My MP. Dropped into a "safe" Labour seat by his pals, Starmer and McSweeny, now turning against him because he knows he'll lose his seat next time round. Hate this iteration of Labour. Bring in Burnham now! https://t.co/DtxhV5nPST
