Marcus Rashford faces Barcelona registration dilemma as Hansi Flick hits back
Barcelona boss Hansi Flick has voiced his anger as the club's ongoing financial woes have prevented them from registering Marcus Rashford for the new campaign. The England forward arrived on loan from Manchester United during the summer, but the Catalan giants must meet La Liga's stringent wage cap regulations before he can take to the pitch in the competition. Rashford isn't alone in this predicament, with the situation stemming from rigid financial regulations that all La Liga sides must follow. New shot-stopper Joan Garcia requires registration, whilst the same issue affects fellow keeper Wojciech Szczesny following the Polish star's fresh contract with the club. Barcelona can offset some of the necessary budget through skipper Marc-Andre ter Stegen's medical absence arrangement, which releases 80 per cent of the German's salary for fresh registrations whilst he remains sidelined through injury. The club employed a comparable strategy last summer to register Dani Olmo when Andreas Christensen was ruled out for an extended spell, and revealed intentions to officially register Garcia in light of Ter Stegen's circumstances. Even so, Flick has been left in a less than ideal situation ahead of Saturday's opener against Mallorca. "For me, the situation, you can imagine I'm not happy about that. But I know the situation and I believe in the club," the boss told reporters on Friday. "We have to wait till tomorrow. It was the same situation last season. We will focus on what we can change and what is in our hands. The other things, I believe in the club." Ter Stegen's decision came after an initial refusal from the Germany international, which saw him briefly stripped of the captaincy but things now appear to be more rosier between player and club. "I think the most important thing is that everyone speaks together. Marc and the club, they spoke," Flick added, "The most important thing for me, for Marc and the club is that he comes back. He's shown for many years here that he's a fantastic goalkeeper and the important thing is that he comes back and is ready to play. We'll all help him, we're all on his side." Rashford and Garcia have both played in pre-season despite the uncertainty over the league opener. Both started the Joan Gamper Trophy, Barca's final warm-up game ahead of the new season, with Rashford setting up a goal for Raphinha in a 5-0 victory over Como. The England international has been learning Spanish to help converse with his new team-mates, some of whom also speak Catalan, while those with a good command of English have also helped him settle in quickly. "There are good people who are like a bridge. Frenkie [de Jong] speaks really good English, Jules [Kounde] speaks very good English, but they also have good Spanish because they've been here a few years," Rashford said on The Rest is Football podcast. "But on the pitch, honestly it's easier than what I thought it would be. Also football overall, I know a lot of people say it, but it's a language in itself and it's easy to communicate through the general vibe on the pitch."

Sinéad O'Connor's former Bray seafront home sells for €1.295m
Sinéad O'Connor 's former Wicklow home has been sold for €1.295m, according to figures from the Residential Property Price Register. The seafront Victorian style home at Bray was put on the market by estate agents, HJ Byrne last December with a guide price of €1.295m. A 'sale agreed' sign was erected at the property in March and now an official entry on the Property Price Register has confirmed that the sale closed on July 16th, meeting the guide price. At 3,713 sq ft, 'Montebello', as it is named, is well over three times the size of an average family home and includes six bedrooms and three bathrooms. READ MORE The €1.295m sale is one of nine €1m+ residential property sales to take place in the in-demand seaside town of Bray to date this year. The move to put the property on the market came five months after An Coimisiún Pleanála refused planning permission to then owner, Rachel Carthy, to convert the property into five apartments. A number of local residents opposed the planned apartment scheme and An Coimisiún Pleanála found that the proposal would result in an incongruous structure in terms of design. The commission, is dismissing its own inspector's recommendation to grant planning permission, found that the scheme would adversely affect the architectural character of the seafront area. The property has become a site of pilgrimage for fans of the late singer, who lived in the property for 15 years. Ana Bento, Maria Correia and Lina Gouveia from Portugal place flowers at Sinead O'Connor's former home in Bray on the first anniversary of her death. Photograph: Colin Keegan, Collins Dublin Ms O'Connor died at the age of 56 on July 26th 2023 of natural causes at her London home, and in August 2023, mourners left flowers outside the home as thousands of people gathered on the seafront to see her funeral cortege make its way past. Fans returned last year from as far away as New Zealand to pay homage to the 'Nothing Compares to U' singer. The seafront building has been in the public eye ever since Ms O'Connor bought it at the height of the property boom in 2007, for €1.7m, only to slash the asking price to €950,000 when she put it back on the market in 2021. The 1860s double-fronted six bed house facing the promenade later sold for €1.04m in November 2021. One objection lodged on behalf of next door neighbours on Strand Road claimed that the scheme 'is an excessive and far too commercial development that fails to have due regard to the protection of the residential amenities of adjoining houses'. The objection, by Ceceline and Frank Power - drafted by Peter P. Gillett & Associates - contended that 'the quest to maximise the amount of development on site undermines the existing quality of the living environment that our clients enjoy and that would be reasonable to protect'.

Man faces possible sale of €1.2m property if €350,000 debt to brothers not paid in six months
A man is facing the possible sale of his €1.2 million family property in Co Meath if he and his wife do not repay a €350,000 debt to his two brothers. The Court of Appeal had in 2023 found Alan and Derek Gaffney were entitled to judgment for US$372,043 (€350,000) against their brother Philip Gaffney, an Irish souvenir manufacturer, and his wife Teresa, of The Naul, Co Meath. The judgment sum arose from payments advanced by the plaintiff brothers so Philip Gaffney could fulfil a lucrative US €1.3 million 2015 order for Irish souvenirs with US-based Quality Value Choice Corporation (QVC), which runs a TV shopping channel and also has an online presence. Mr Gaffney's ceramic Irish products, such as leprechauns, cottages, fairy doors and mushrooms, were to feature as the firm's 'Today's Special Value' item on a date around St Patrick's Day in 2016, but the contract was pulled in February 2016. READ MORE The High Court previously held, on the balance of probabilities, that Philip Gaffney had lost the order or had to relinquish it due to not passing all the required tests and/or not being able to fulfil the order for 67,000 items by mid-March 2016. His brothers claimed they made various payments to Philip Gaffney and his wife between October 2015 and February 2016, as a loan to expand their workshop and obtain raw materials to be able to meet the QVC order. Alan Gaffney said the $372,043 comprised $272,043 from him and $100,000 from Derek Gaffey. In 2022, the High Court determined that $372.043 was owed by Philip Gaffney to his brothers but rejected their claim against Teresa Gaffney. It dismissed Philip Gaffney's proceedings against Alan Gaffney and his wife, alleging they had breached an agreement to invest €400,000 in his business. In May 2023, the Court of Appeal allowed an appeal by Alan and Derek Gaffney against the finding that Teresa Gaffney was not a party to the 2015 contract. It held that she had been an active participant in the business and entered total judgments for $372,043 against both. The judgments of the High Court and Court of Appeal were later registered as a judgment mortgage against the defendants' interests in their 0.75 hectares (1.4 acre) property in Naul, including a substantial family home and a 557sq m workshop. When no monies were paid towards the judgment debt, Alan and Derek Gaffney obtained an order from the Circuit Court in July 2024 declaring the judgment was registered as a burden on the Co Meath property. The Circuit Court orders were stayed pending appeal to the High Court. In opposing the appeal by Philip and Teresa Gaffney, Derek Gaffney said the defendants' products had featured on the Late Late Toy Show in late 2023 and this 'high profile TV placement' was 'galling' as the defendants were clearly still in business and selling their products. Mr Gaffney said, while refusing to pay them anything, the defendants were continuing to trade in the last eight years since they took the loan monies and continued to ignore the 'legal and moral obligation' to repay. Both plaintiffs said the failure to repay had cost them and their families considerable stress and difficulties. In his judgment published this week, Mr Justice Bradly said he proposed to make orders that the judgments totalling $372,043 were well charged against the defendants' interest in their Co Meath property. There has been 'a continuous refusal' by the defendants to repay the debt, he said. He also proposed to order the plaintiffs were entitled to details of any other encumbrances affecting the Co Meath property, and to an order for sale of the property if the judgment sums, plus interest, were not repaid within six months of the date of judgment. Final orders will be made in October when the judge said he will discuss whether there should be any stay on his orders.
