Al-Mashaal said: "Gerrard waived half of his contract with Al-Ettifaq, and the other part has been scheduled.

Coleen Rooney revives Wagatha Christie skills as a detective investigating Man City charges in hilarious Paddy Power ad
In 2019 Coleen accused Rebekah Vardy of leaking stories about her. In 2019 Coleen accused Rebekah Vardy of leaking stories about her. COLEEN ROONEY revived her epic super sleuth skills to investigate Man City's Financial Fair Play case in a hilarious new Paddy Power sketch. The 39-year-old aka 'Wagatha Christie' has teamed up with the Irish betting company to announce its record-breaking 'Justice Refund'. 2 Coleen Rooney has teamed up with Paddy Power to announce its record-breaking 'Justice Refund' Credit: Paddy Power 2 Coleen Rooney stars in the latest Paddy Power advert Credit: Paddy Power Advertisement In the clip, no-nonsense Coleen, who is married to Wayne Rooney, is the boss of a parody 'Investigation Department' tackling a number mock cases. In a mock office she examines joke complaints including whether "nothing beats a Jet2 holiday" and the "latest refereeing conspiracy theories" by Arsenal fans. She then uncovers a suspicious phone call from a 'Mr Howard Wobb' heaping praise on VAR and hailing referees. But the sketch reaches its crescendo when she has to crack the case of the ongoing FFP saga. Advertisement City were slapped with a whopping 115 charges over alleged breaches of Financial Fair Play rules back in February which then went up to 130. She gives her verdict saying that Paddy Power will sort it out once and for all if the game's bigwigs won't. The Paddy Power 'Justice Refund' is a payback scheme giving money back to all punters who backed a team that finished second to Manchester City in the Premier League since 2011. BEST FREE BETS AND BETTING SIGN UP OFFERS Advertisement It covers eight seasons, meaning Manchester United, Arsenal and Liverpool fans who placed title bets in those years will have their stakes returned. More than 100,000 punters are set to benefit - including those who backed United in 2011/12, 2017/18 and 2020/21, Liverpool in 2013/14, 2018/19 and 2021/22, and Arsenal in 2022/23 and 2023/24. Rebekah Vardy LOSES bid to have Coleen Rooney's Wagatha Christie court costs slashed & faces £1.6m bill An official verdict on City's alleged 115 financial charges are still pending after the hearing concluded last December. City have vehemently denied the charges and have been fighting their corner at London's International Dispute Resolution Centre since mid-September. City have been accused of failing to accurately report their finances over a nine-year period from 2009-10 and 2017-18. Advertisement It's also alleged they failed to provide all the details about former manager Roberto Mancini's pay packets between 2009-10 and 2012-13. The charges also relate to their alleged failure to disclose full player salaries between 2010-11 and 2015-16. In addition to their alleged financial wrongdoings, City have been accused of failing to co-operate with the Prem's investigation. If found guilty, City could be hit with huge financial penalties and a points deducation. They could also be RELEGATED if they're found to have committed the most serious charges. Advertisement The club will likely appeal any verdict which doesn't go their way, meaning the final decision may not be made until the end of NEXT SEASON. The Wagatha Christie saga involved two former friends - Coleen Rooney and Rebekah Vardy - and resulted in a High Court libel battle. Coleen shared a lengthy Instagram post accusing her pal of leaking stories about her. In 2022, three years after Coleen's initial accusation, Rebekah launched a libel case against her, which she lost.

Boss Enzo Maresca has a squad that would be the envy of most teams. The difficulty is overtaking the three other outstanding sides, Liverpool, Arsenal and Manchester City. Maresca played down talk of the title when his side closed to within a few points of the Reds last year. But he will find it harder to shake off the expectations of fans and owners in his second season. Chelsea's array of attacking talent is incredible. And, in Moises Caicedo and Enzo Fernandez, they have two world-class midfielders. Defeating PSG in the CWC final was a positive sign.

Man Utd ‘pushing for Carlos Baleba transfer as they come up with pay structure and swap deal proposal'
BAL AND CHAIN Man Utd 'pushing for Carlos Baleba transfer as they come up with pay structure and swap deal proposal' MANCHESTER UNITED are planning to continue pushing for Carlos Baleba's signature. Brighton are understood to want around £120m for the 21-year-old, with owner Tony Bloom known for sticking to his guns. 3 Manchester United are trying to do a deal for Carlos Baleba Credit: Getty Play Dream Team now!

But the Old Trafford hierarchy remain unfazed by Brighton's refusal and are currently figuring out how to construct a payment package. Advertisement According to The Independent, United are considering an initial £80million fee with the rest made up of add-ons. There would be a will to send a player such as Roma-linked Jadon Sancho the other way, but it's unlikely that Brighton will go for that. But it's also understood that Baleba is priced above what United would be prepared to pay this summer. READ MORE ON MAN UTD Roo what? Wayne Rooney makes Premier League 2025/26 predictions with shock Man Utd tip He is the midfielder that United's Ineos hierarchy would wish to sign were they not operating within tight PSR rules. Advertisement Fans questioned how the club could afford to splash £200million on three new signings Matheus Cunha, Bryan Mbeumo and Benjamin Sesko. But it's become clear that the PSR scare stories were perhaps a overblown, with United operating within the guidelines after spreading out contracts instalments. However, splashing another 100-odd million on a player might be too big an ask. BEST ONLINE CASINOS - TOP SITES IN THE UK Advertisement United are on the hunt for a dynamic midfielder to go in Ruben Amorim's 3-4-3 pivot after unconvincing displays by Manuel Ugarte and Casemiro in pre-season. Academy hero and breakout England midfielder Kobbie Mainoo is also struggling to find a consistent place and position in Amorim's squad. Behind the scenes of Benjamin Sesko's first day at Man Utd, from meeting team-mates to interview 3 Baleba joined Brighton in 2023 but has already secured his position as a key figure for the Seagulls, making 34 appearances in a season where Brighton finished eighth. He is another example of Brighton's impressive scouting system, signed as a replacement for British record transfer Moises Caicedo - who, in turn, took the place of Yves Bissouma after a big money move to Tottenham. Advertisement This is a tried-and-tested formula for Brighton as they've lost key players in the past, such as Alexis Mac Allister, only for others to step up and fill in. Baleba previously told The Sun that praise from players like Declan Rice, Cunha and Joelinton, as well as watching Man City star Rodri lift the Ballon D'or, has encouraged him to set his sights on the most prestigious individual award in football. Baleba missed Brighton's last three pre-season games, having not played since mid-July with a reported knee injury.
