How does Marinakis avoid multi-club ownership troubles?
In the governing body's rulebook, a club is required to prove they are not "simultaneously involved in any capacity whatsoever in the management, administration, and/or sporting performance of more than one club participating in a Uefa club competition".
Nottingham Forest owner Evangelos Marinakis, who also controls Greek side Olympiakos, avoided regulations around multi-club ownership by diluting his control of the Premier League side, which was announced in April.
John Textor took similar steps to help Crystal Palace's prospects of playing in the Europa League by agreeing to sell his stake to New York Jets owner Johnson in June.
Ultimately, there were no sanctions to avoid and no case to answer for Forest - they fell short in their Champions League challenge and are therefore not in the same competition as Olympiakos.

Cristiano Ronaldo proposes to his longtime girlfriend with massive engagement ring
Cristiano Ronaldo put a (huge) ring on it. The soccer superstar has gotten engaged to his longtime girlfriend Georgina Rodríguez. Rodríguez shared the engagement news on Instagram Monday, posting a picture of a gigantic diamond ring on her left hand. 'Yes, I do,' Rodríguez wrote in a caption translated from Spanish. 'In this and in all lives.' Ronaldo and Rodríguez met in 2016 at a Gucci store in Madrid, Spain, where Rodríguez worked at the time. They began dating shortly after, going public with their relationship in 2017. The couple welcomed their first child, daughter Alana, in November 2017. They then had twins, daughter Bella and son Ángel, in April 2022, but Ángel tragically died at birth. Rodríguez has also helped raise Ronaldo's three other children — Cristiano Jr., who was born in June 2010, and twins Eva and Mateo, a daughter and son born via surrogate in June 2017. Ronaldo, 40, is entering his fourth season with Saudi Pro League club Al-Nassr. The former Real Madrid, Manchester United and Juventus star is a five-time Ballon d'Or winner who's hoisted five Champions League trophies. He also won a European championship with Portugal in 2016. Ronaldo is soccer's all-time leading goal scorer at both the international level with 138 goals and overall with over 930 combined career goals between club and country.

A New(ish)-to-the-Bay Style of Pizza Drops With the Reopening of This Italian Restaurant
After 16 years, Redwood City's Donato Enoteca has undergone a much-needed renovation, as well as significant changes to the menu that will reshape the neighborhood favorite. Donato Enoteca reopens on Tuesday, August 12. The updated interior was a byproduct of 16 years of wear and tear, explains co-owner Donato Scotti, but as for changes elsewhere, it was a matter of survival. 'The demographic is changing,' Scotti says. 'A lot of younger people live in in Redwood City; we still have a regular customer base from the neighboring city and [our] city as well, but I felt like we needed to act on it, in order to say, 'How do we last another 16 years and be as successful the next 16, as we were before?' It's a question that many restaurateurs and chefs who have managed to stay open for over 10 years have asked themselves. An eternal question, really: How do you stay fresh and continue to attract new customers? 'The hardest part to me is how you keep generating [people] coming into your restaurant and how you sustain it, keep it going in a way so that you don't feel the downturn of the economy or whatever,' Scotti says. 'I know that a lot of the industry generally is suffering because of all the costs and the tariffs and this and that. But at the end of the day, it's a circle, and we'll all going to come out in a better position just like we did in 2009.' As part of the changes, Scotti will no longer be in the kitchen. He's brought on chef Marco Bertoldo, who worked at prestigious European restaurants such as Michelin-starred Ristorante Le Calandre and Osteria Degli Amici Figino before he moved to San Francisco as chef at Poesia. The new menu will offer shareable plates, and the bar menu will center cicchetti (Venetian snacks and small plates). 'If you wanted to keep the prices of our items in line with what our vision is, as far as pricing or check average, why don't we manage portion — offer smaller dishes, and increase the amount of dishes that people eat, so that they could try different things?' Scotti says. Nadia Andreini Nadia Andreini Nadia Andreini Nadia Andreini The homemade salumi is still on the menu, but from there, Bertoldo has new things in store for diners. Particularly, Scotti is excited for the new pastas, like the pasta patate e Provola, a pasta dish with potatoes that Scotti says is a staple of Naples that is lesser-seen in the Bay Area. The colore croccante, with crisp pork belly and Brentwood corn, is 'to die for,' per Scotti, while the baccala mantecato is a Venetian dish of milk-braised salted cod, another upcoming menu item. Another addition is the padellino-style pizza, a type most associated with Northern Italy. Created by Simone Padoan in San Bonifacio, Italy, pizza al padellino is a pizza that rises and is parbaked in a pan before being finished in a wood-burning oven. The result is 'really airy and very fluffy and very light,' Scotti says. 'After you bake it, you put the topping that you want on, or you slice it in half, lengthwise, and you can fill it with meat, tuna, or whatever. And so they became really popular, and nobody's doing this [here].' The bar menu is composed of cicchetti and cocktails, and with the food, Scotti says, 'we try to bring some of the tradition, but let Marco express his creativity and flavors.' Another bacala, or salted cod, appears on the menu as baccala e beitole, served with red beets and toasted bread, while the tonno al rafano is a seared ahi tuna with horseradish mayo. It's a step in a new direction for the restaurant. 'We've been here for 16 years,' Scotti says. 'We try to do something different now, because that's what we did when we first opened. We wanted to improve our bar business in general, because of the younger generation. So we redesigned the whole bar to create a sense of community.' Donato Enoteca (1041 Middlefield Road, Redwood City) reopens on Tuesday, August 11, and is open from 4 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. Tuesday through Thursday, 4 p.m. to 10 p.m. Friday and Saturday, and 4 p.m. to 9 p.m. on Sunday.

Raskin affected by 'uncertainty' over Rangers future
Rangers midfielder Nico Raskin has been impacted by "uncertainty" over his future at the club, according to head coach Russell Martin. The Belgium international has been linked with big money moves away from Ibrox and Martin concedes that contact from external parties has had an effect. "There's been a bit of uncertainty about him this summer, for sure," Martin said before Tuesday's second leg of the Champions League third qualifying round tie at Viktoria Plzen. "Not from people ringing us, but I think from people ringing him, definitely. "I think that's affected his approach, not in terms of professionalism and stuff, but he's a young man, of course it's going to have an impact at some point." Rangers 'can't ease off' despite three-goal lead - Martin 'No quick fix' as Martin faces familiar Rangers problems Martin 'won't lose sleep' over Rangers team leak Raskin started the first three games of Rangers' season, but was left out of the starting XI for the first leg of the tie against Viktoria Plzen, which Martin's side won 3-0 at Ibrox. The 24-year-old was again benched for Saturday's Premiership match against Dundee, but impressed as a substitute in the 1-1 draw. Martin expressed his delight at how Raskin has responded to being dropped. "He came out of the team for reasons that me and him spoke about, and his reaction has been top, like really, really brilliant," he said. "He's a really fantastic player, and he's a young man that I'm getting to know all the time, and actually I really like his character and personality. "It's my job to make sure, playing for this football club, whoever you are, the demands are really clear, in whatever position you play." 'Hopefully we can get to end of window' When asked if he expects Raskin to stay at Rangers beyond this summer, Martin said it would take a "mind-blowing" offer for the Ibrox club to consider selling one of last season's standout performers. "I don't think we're in a position where we have to sell anyone," Martin said. "I don't think we're in a position where we want to lose some of the best performers last season, that we think can become really top performers for us moving forward. "Unless someone comes in and blows our minds and everyone decides, the player, the club, that it's the best for everyone - and then we can make sure we're in a position to replace them with someone else. "It's the same for any club in world football now. I don't think there is a club that's immune to that really. "Hopefully, we can get to the end of the window. He's played brilliantly. The window shuts, he's still here, and then we can keep improving and keep kicking on."
