Very chuffed to get my hands on a copy of my book World Cup Fever - a story of the tournament told through my own nine World Cups. It's out in English and Dutch in early October, but you can already preorder it, e.g. here waterstones.com/book/world-c…
What if Manchester United's problem isn't whichever poor sod is the manager of the moment, but rather something to do with the structure of the org?

Hi Simon, may I put in a word for @AnnieChave ‘s excellent ‘Cricket Changed My Life’- Eleven Personal Journeys. 🙏🏻
1/ Here's a thread about some exciting new or newish sports books. First Duncan Hamilton's The Man Who Walked Out of the Sun: A Lifetime of Summers with Garry Sobers, who died this year. Hamilton is 3x winner of William Hill sports book award waterstones.com/book/the-man…
7/ Nick Fishwick spent a career in the Foreign Office and then wrote Moving the Goalposts: The Transformation of English Football. He studied the records of clubs big and small to show how a community game was turned into a globalised business. Kudos! wiley.com/en-fr/shop/general…

My @FT interview with a onetime Trotskyist born in French Algeria who has spent 30 years fighting climate change and still sees reasons to be hopeful
Laurence Tubiana: the climate struggle is entering its ‘post-Trump era’ ft.trib.al/OSaWJVz

Laurence Tubiana thinks we’re now entering the “post-Trump” era. The oil shock caused by his war in Iran is encouraging many countries to shift to renewables @KuperSimon #ClimateAction #COP31 #Renewables

El-Sayed may not be an exceptional electoral performer, but he is unusually intelligent for a senator
I've been in politics for a quarter century. It's hard to express how staggering it is to see a conversation like this on corporate US media. The Morning Joe panel gobsmacked by the directness of @AbdulElSayed's points.

Very well-informed French sports newspaper @lequipe says Wenger is seriously considering standing for FIFA president against Infantino in March, isn't sure, expected to decide next week
On saura en milieu de semaine prochaine si Arsène Wenger (77 ans), courtisé de toutes parts, se présente pour être le nouveau président de la FIFA, dont l'élection est prévue le 18 mars. La tentation est réelle.
