Clubs that finished outside the Premier League top four could be drafted into the Champions League, if Manchester City are banned, the UK Mirror reports. City are facing a Champions League ban,  if they are found guilty of financial irregularities. The Premier League champions have been under investigation by a regulatory committee, over a series of leaks into their financial conduct. Officials from UEFA’s financial control board are set to submit their findings and will reportedly push for at least a one-year ban from Europe’s premier competition. It remains to be seen quite how hard UEFA come down on City, but a potential suspension would likely open the door for another Premier League club. As things stand, City will be joined in next season’s Champions League by Liverpool, Tottenham and Chelsea . Arsenal and Manchester United missed out, but the former could still qualify through the Europa League. Unai Emery’s men ended the season in fifth spot, but play Che...

If we have a deep thought, we ought to have a day of weeping every month. “If we don’t work harder to improve our fortunes, we would continue to be poor. In 2017, Brazil had a population of approximately 200 million people almost about what Nigeria had. “That year, Brazil had a revenue of about $600 billion and a budget of $700 billion. Nigeria in that same year made $13 billion and a budget of $23 billion.

May 19, 2019 A former Minister of Aviation, Femi Fani-Kayode, is clearly not on good terms with Governor Rochas Okorocha of Imo State. During an interactive session with journalists in Abuja recently, Okorocha stated that the evil he feared in the Peoples Democratic Party had befallen him 10 times over in the ruling All Progressives Congress, and HIGH SOCIETY learnt that Fani-Kayode was excited about the confession.

The Champions secured back-to-back league titles with Sunday’s emphatic triumph at Brighton for the first time, tallying an astonishing 198 points spanning two record-breaking campaigns in the process.

We did a great job because our contender was incredible. “We are working on [reaching the levels of United and Liverpool’s top-flight success] but you can’t fight history. It would be unfair. “We have enjoyed an incredible two seasons but to be the best, we have to do it for a longer time. “We are part of ‘the best teams’ and that is enough. We are flattered a lot. “I accept that we want to be there and deserve to be there but to be the best ever? Maybe in another five years… ...
