Football, in recent years, has hardly been the sanest of sports but even by recent standards Manchester City’s £100m bid for Kaka has seen the sport reach new levels of absurdity, even if the player himself eventually rejected the offer. But this isn’t just about paying a man half a million a week to kick…

And for some managers and chairmen, those older days are their…
Darren Anderton: The end of an era
The scoreline popped up upon the Sky Sports goal ticker, much like any other goal that day. Except “Bournemouth 1 Chester 0 D Anderton 88″ wasn’t just any goal.

Chester hope for the Wright stuff
Mark Wright clearly doesn’t pay attention to the old football adage that you should never return to a club where you’ve previously enjoyed success.
