genome Things have gone a bit batshit crazy at Sporting Lisbon since the attack on their training ground.
Bas Dost, William Carvalho, Gelson Martins, and Bruno Fernandes have all terminated their contracts. Rui Patricio and Daniel Podence have already left, and manager Jorge Jesus has upped sticks to Al-Hilal.

Sorry, I missed all that, what’s the story behind it, why would they attack their own clubs training ground? Were the players and management there at the time? Was it a full blown smashing up of the place or just a demo?

Winston Biscuit AC Milan European ban overturned by CAS. They said banning from Europe was too severe. A number of reports saying it was actually a fresh injection of cash into the club and promises to sort themselves out that did it. Makes a mockery of FFP if true.

Winston Biscuit Parma to start next season back in Serie A with a 5 point deduction
Centre forward Emanuele Calaio was deemed to have sent suspicious text messages to old team mates at Spezia just before the clubs played each other in May with Parma needing to win to gain promotion.
Calaio gets a 2 year ban for match fixing. The text messages were 'eliciting a reduced effort' from his old mates

I assume he's been caught bang to rights, but it would be interesting to see these texts. If it's a gentle ''don't have your scoring boots on this weekend lads!', then I think Calaio is a little harsh treated.
The first message read: “Hey Pippein [De Col] you better not give me a hard time on Friday my friend,” before two more messages read: “Tell that to Claudiein [Terzi] too”, and “Especially with the relationship you have with me.”
After getting no response, Calaio sent another message several hours later: “However Pippein be calm I was joking, anyways for me it’s the same after all I’ll retire in a bit.”

Stranded Random fact from 2.Bundesliga
Erzgebirge Aue's kit man is 30 today. Nothing unusual in that but German football has a rule about a club having to have 4 players registered in the first team squad who came through the clubs academy.
As he was briefly in the academy as a child, the club have also registered him as a player. He has never played a minute of football professionally or semi-professionally. As a result, he is actually available as a player on FIFA.

If I've understood correctly - why would the club choose to do that rather than name one of their current academy players in the squad?
