Beyond that about 15 championship teams have wages comparable to laliga teams! Including Leeds who would be 8th in laliga.

To save you a double click, here is most important parts IMO.

Boca Juniors' first match at the new-look Club World Cup was as entertaining as it gets, with the Argentine club's fans making the most of their time in South Florida on Tuesday for the team's 2-2 draw with Benfica.

Boca Juniors fans are expected to have made up the bulk of the 55,000 that filled Miami Gardens' Hard Rock Stadium on Tuesday, though that was not the only place they were spotted in large numbers. They were spotted on local beaches and at other nearby attractions during the day, while a group of supporters essentially took over an area Walmart and were in full voice.

One fan even told Spanish-language media that he sold his car to join fellow Boca fans in the Miami area, where the team will be based for a few more days. They return to play on Friday at Hard Rock Stadium against Germany's Bayern Munich in one of the more anticipated matches of the second round of group play.

The early days of the Club World Cup have been ones defined by contrasts, not only in the level of play between opponents but also in crowd size. While some matches, like Chelsea's 2-0 win over LAFC on Monday in Atlanta, will be remembered for their low attendance figures, fans of several teams are showing up in large numbers.

Fans of Brazil's Palmeiras and Tunisia's Esperance de Tunis, for example, took over New York's Times Square ahead of their teams' matches on Sunday and Monday, respectively. Supporters of Egypt's Al Ahly, meanwhile, made up the majority of the crowd in the Club World Cup opener on Saturday against Inter Miami despite the match taking place at Hard Rock Stadium.

FSG already own various sports franchises in the USA, including the Boston Red Sox, Pittsburgh Penguins and RFK Racing in Nascar, but will look to purchase another football club soon. Already FSG have looked at investing in Real Valladolid, Elche, Levante, Espanyol and Girondins de Bordeaux in France.

They have already looked to invest in Malaga, which was their original choice to buy a club in Spain. That effort failed though, after Qatar Sports Investment won the race to invest in Malaga. QSI are also the majority shareholders in Paris Saint-Germain.

Now according to Marca, Getafe are the preferred choice for the Liverpool owners. They have already carried out viability studies, and the fact that Getafe are an established club in La Liga, with facilities being renovated in the capital Madrid, and have a record of developing and selling players, are the key reasons for their attraction to Los Azulones.

The 42-year-old was suspended in November 2024 after the clip showed him making derogatory comments about the German and Liverpool.

Coote was sacked a month later by the Premier League referees' body Professional Game Match Officials Limited (PGMOL) following a "thorough investigation" into his conduct.

The FA has now charged Coote in relation to rule E3.1, which alleges he acted in an improper manner and/or used abusive and/or insulting words.

It says reference to Klopp's nationality in the video constituted an "aggravated" breach.

However, Coote has been cleared of any gambling misconduct following claims that the referee had discussed issuing a yellow card to a player prior to a match.

Coote, from Nottinghamshire, had denied the gambling misconduct claims, saying the allegation was "false and defamatory".

Salernitana have requested the second leg of their Serie B relegation play-off against Sampdoria be postponed, after players and staff were admitted to hospital with food poisoning.

The Italian club have formally requested a postponement after 21 of the travelling party became ill as they flew back from Genoa after losing Sunday's first leg 2-0.

Salernitana face relegation to Italy's third tier after dropping out of Serie A 12 months ago, but many of their players are too ill to train before Friday's second leg.
