The man. The myth. The legend.
On what would have been his 65th birthday, we remember James Gandolfini, who will always be a defining figure in New Jersey culture.
Those who want respect, give respect. And he’ll always have ours.

An offshore company controlled by Roman Abramovich paid £6m to Eden Hazard's agent, and the Club paid £1m that was undisclosed.
According to both the Premier League and the FA, there was no sporting advantage to a career at Chelsea for Hazard (who did not benefit financially from these payments).
Purchase price £32m
Sale price £130m
Appearances 352
Goals 110
Assists 92
During that time
2 x Premier League titles
1 x FA Cup
1 x League Cup
2 x Europa League

A Toffee at No.10. 💙

Wishing you nothing but the best in your new role, @andyburnham. 👏

So Chelsea secretly pay out £47.5m in brown envelopes to players & agents for 7 years helping them sign players like Hazard and gain sporting advantage while winning multiple trophies..
PUNISHMENT: £10m fine
——
Everton meanwhile, slightly breach PSR, overspending by £19.5m over the allowable £105m limit in one period, largely linked to stadium investment & COVID impacts.
PUNISHMENT: 10 point deduction followed by a another 2 point deduction both which directly affected their league position and prize money whilst risking being relegated from the Premier League.. AND now have to pay Burnley £40m for alleged lost earnings due to Everton’s “unfair advantage!?”
——
One club hid tens of millions in shady payments for years and got a slap on the wrist. The other got hammered with points lost, risked being relegated, costing millions in prize money for league placement and now have to pay compensation to clubs as well!?
The disparity in severity, sporting impact and deterrence makes the rules look ridiculous and unfair.
“Big” clubs get no consequences for their actions, while Everton are the league’s whipping boy suffering multiple existential hits.
Why are Everton treated so differently to every other club in the league!?

It was an honor to share the octagon not once not twice but three times with this man. Thank you Dustin for being a warrior in the cage and even a greater person out of it. The sport is gonna miss you. Enjoy your retirement! Paid in full! Diamonds are forever. 🤙🏻 @DustinPoirier

Only luck stopped Premier League causing huge harm to Everton and Forest. Martin Samuel on a major City victory and a blow to those who dared argue that first tribunal award was not a win for the English champions.
