Chelsea sale: State of play ahead of Friday bid deadline

With the deadline for any Chelsea bids required by Friday evening, we take a look at the latest state of play and possible consortiums who could submit their offers. It is a unique situation for many reasons, but especially that a club like Chelsea does not become available on the open market very often, if ever. They are one of the biggest clubs in the world – the world and European champions – so there is a lot of interest. However, they are under a variety of restrictions after the UK government and the EU sanctioned owner Roman Abramovich following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. The club cannot sell tickets to games or sell merchandise and are restricted on how much they can spend on any given game day. There are lots of people jockeying for position with Chelsea, lots of people finalising the fine details of the consortium that they are putting together. Here are how some of the main runners and riders are shaping up ahead of Friday’s deadline. The Ricketts family The Americ

Ducks preparing to trade Lindholm after failing to agree on contract extension

| March 18, 2022, 10:01 AM March 18, 2022, 10:01 AM Talks between the Anaheim Ducks and defenceman Hampus Lindholm did not result in a contract extension and now the team is preparing to move him before the NHL trade deadline, Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman reports. Some early-morning stuff: hearing that talks between ANA and Hampus Lindholm did not result in an extension…Ducks are now preparing to trade him. On Giroux (1/2): — Elliotte Friedman (@FriedgeHNIC) March 18, 2022 Lindholm is in the final year of a six-year, $31.5-million deal and is a pending unrestricted free agent at the end of the season. General manager Pat Verbeek said in early February that he would trade the defenceman before the deadline if both sides are not able to come to an agreement on a deal. “I’m trying to sign these players, but if it doesn’t work out, I might have to make some tough decisions and trade them,” Verbeek said via  The Orange County Register . “I’d be worried if they w

Maple Leafs Trade Deadline Preview: Kyle Dubas is on the clock

Kyle Dubas is sitting at the poker table with a pair of queens in his hand. Great hand. One of the best. But then a king shows up on the flop. Then an ace at the turn. Suddenly, the cards in hand look fallible. So, do you commit harder? Do you still believe? Are you pot committed? Or do you survey your new surroundings, back away, and save your serious push for another day? Josh Manson — a rugged, right-shot defenceman who Toronto has been eyeing since the Babcock era — was traded to Colorado this week. Useful, playoff-tested Calle Jarnkrok moved to Calgary, and net-front bulldozer Ben Chiarot went for a haul to Florida, the Leafs’ divisional rival and a potential playoff foe. To varying degrees, Dubas explored all three rentals, none of whom went for cheap. With all due respect to Ilya Lyubushkin, a fine early pickup, what does it mean that the Maple Leafs GM has yet to make his big decision? Is he slow-playing the market? Or is he having second thoughts about where to dire

Canucks can’t solve Nedeljkovic’s hot hand, fall to Red Wings

VANCOUVER — The Vancouver Canucks know their margin of error has been whittled away. If the Canucks want to make the playoffs, they can’t afford another loss like the 1-0 defeat it suffered to the Detroit Red Wings on Thursday. “We need to buckle down. Every two points matters to us right now, every point for that matter. We’ve got to find a way to win those,” forward Tanner Pearson said after the game. “We’ve been pretty good at coming back in the third period as of late. We had some confidence going into that one that we could do it. We just couldn’t get that one.” Alex Nedeljkovic made 43 saves and the Detroit Red Wings snapped a six-game winless drought with the victory. The shutout was Nedeljkovic’s second of the season and the fifth of his career. The visiting goalie was good, but the Canucks got off to an ugly start, said head coach Bruce Boudreau. “That first period might have been our worst period all year, including the games where we gave up five goals. We must have

Källgren rapidly stabilizing the Maple Leafs’ most fragile position

TORONTO – One day Erik Källgren is being outfitted for a custom Toronto St. Pat’s mask. The next day… what? A bronzed statue on Legends Row? Sure, we kid about the rapid ascension of “King Erik” — who arrived at his second NHL start with a fluorescent green crown emblazoned on his forehead. But the Swedish callup has fast stabilized the most fragile position on the team. “It’s been one of the most eventful weeks of my life,” Källgren said. “It’s surreal.” It’s one thing to shutout a bubble team with the 19 th -best offence like the Dallas Stars, as the 25-year-old did Tuesday. It’s quite another to backstop the Toronto Maple Leafs to a tidy 3-2 victory over a relentless powerhouse like the Carolina Hurricanes , get outshot 36-21, and outduel  Vezina candidate and long-serving Leaf  Frederik Andersen in the process. “You’d think it’d be natural for him to get caught up in it and get really excited,” coach Sheldon Keefe said. “I’m not sure if I’ve seen him smile yet. That just

Curry injures left foot in Warriors blowout loss to Celtics

SAN FRANCISCO — Stephen Curry went down with a left foot injury late in the first half and Golden State coach Steve Kerr didn’t like Marcus Smart’s lunging move at the reigning NBA scoring champ. Smart got an earful from Kerr, then they chatted again after the Boston Celtics beat the Warriors 110-88 on Wednesday night. “I thought it was a dangerous play. I thought Marcus dove into Steph’s knee,” Kerr said. “That’s what I was upset about. Lot of respect for Marcus, he’s a hell of a player, gamer, competitor. I coached him in the World Cup a few summers ago. We talked after the game, we’re good. I thought it was a dangerous play, just let him know.” Curry was injured with 4:19 remaining in the second quarter along the sideline while scrambling for a loose ball as Smart made a diving lunge on the play and landed on the reigning scoring champion’s leg. Curry grimaced in pain and got up but hobbled along before exiting on the next dead ball moments later. That came when Smart made an

Howe responds to Carra, Nev: ‘My specialist subject is football’

Newcastle boss Eddie Howe has admitted he does not feel qualified to answer questions over the club’s Saudi owners amid football’s ongoing geo-political debate. The Magpies’ head coach was criticised for side-stepping the issue in his post-match press conference at Chelsea on Sunday. On Monday Night Football , Jamie Carragher and Gary Neville said Premier League managers must be prepared to answer difficult questions relating to club owners and the origins of their money. “In the modern world part of my job is to know what’s going on around the world and I’m reading up on that,” Howe said at his pre-match press conference. “I respect Gary Neville and Jamie Carragher’s opinion and I get on well with them. I’ve no issue with what they said. But ultimately it’s my right to say what I need to say.” Howe added: “It’s a difficult one for everyone concerned. I understand the questions have to be asked, I’ve got no problem with that. “From my perspective – and I’ve always maintained thi

Bills sign veteran pass rusher Von Miller to six-year, $120M deal

| March 16, 2022, 6:53 PM March 16, 2022, 6:53 PM The Buffalo Bills have signed pass rusher Von Miller to a six-year deal. NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports that Miller’s contract is worth $120 million. ESPN’s Adam Schefter adds that $51.5 million of Miller’s deal is guaranteed including $34 million fully guaranteed at signing. The veteran joins the Bills after winning a Super Bowl with the Los Angeles Rams who made a big push to bring him back after he had five sacks in eight regular season games. He had another five in the playoffs for the Rams including two in  Super Bowl LVI. Miller was traded to Los Angeles from the Denver Broncos who drafted the pass rusher with the second overall pick in the 2011 NFL Draft. The 32-year-old leads all active defensive players with 115.5 sacks in his career. Miller has eight Pro Bowl selections and three first-team All-Pro selections and was named the MVP of Super Bowl 50 after he recorded 2.5 sacks in the Broncos win over the

AP source: Dodgers, Freddie Freeman agree to six-year, $162M deal

Freddie Freeman is headed home to Southern California and the Los Angeles Dodgers . The first-time free agent and the Dodgers have agreed to a $162 million, six-year contract, according to a person familiar with the deal. The person spoke to The Associated Press on the condition of anonymity late Wednesday night because the move had not yet been announced by the team. Freeman was the 2020 National League MVP. The first baseman helped the Atlanta Braves to their fourth straight NL East title last season and their first World Series championship since 1995. It was assumed that Atlanta would try to lock up Freeman, who had never played for another club. But a deal didn’t get done before the labor lockout began in early December and then the Braves traded for All-Star first baseman Matt Olson from Oakland and signed him to a $168 million, eight-year deal this week, signaling the end of Freeman’s long tenure in Atlanta. Now the 32-year-old five-time All-Star will be playing not far fr

Klopp: My strongest Liverpool squad

He might have thought the title race was over but Jurgen Klopp knows now that it is on again. He should never have doubted it. “When I go back through my career I cannot remember very often when it did not go to the last match,” he says. “Unfortunately, not always winning it, sometimes staying in the league or whatever. I don’t know exactly what it is about me but it happens quite frequently.” Please use Chrome browser for a more accessible video player Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp says the team are focused solely on their own results Klopp is speaking to Sky Sports before his press conference on Tuesday. In a small room, with the camera lights on him and a mug of coffee in his hand, he is reflecting on the events of the night before. Events that have raised the excitement levels among supporters. He watched Manchester City draw away to Crystal Palace on Monday. “Around 65 minutes, for analysis reasons. What are they doing in these situations? Who is playing?” As a resu

Flames’ Treliving does his part to address major hole with Jarnkrok trade

The coach and players have done what they can to position the Calgary Flames high atop a division when no one thought they could win. On Wednesday the GM did his part. Again. For the second time in a month, Brad Treliving stepped up with a significant acquisition that addressed the glaring hole in the middle of the Calgary Flames’ third line. Seattle utilityman Calle Jarnkrok will replace rookie Adam Ruzicka between Andrew Mangiapane and Tyler Toffoli , giving the team the sort of depth, versatility and added experience needed if the surging Flames are to prove they are indeed Cup contenders. There’s momentum on the ice, there’s a buzz in the rink and the city has designs on a much-needed morale boost that will undoubtedly see the resurrection of the Red Mile. Riding a high that saw them win their 19th game in their last 24 outings Wednesday night, the Flames sure have given the locals plenty of reasons to believe this team is capable of the sort of magic that resurrected this
