Will Marco Silva stay at Craven Cottage? Transfer window Q&A
BBC Sport chief football news reporter Simon Stone has been answering your questions on the summer transfer window.Phil asked: Will Marco Silva still be manager of Fulham come next season?Simon answered: In fairness, there has been noise around Silva and he is experienced in terms of the Premier League and the challenges it presents so will have a more realistic view of what can be achieved at Fulham. They have just had their third mid-table finish but I got the strong feeling around March-time that Silva felt Europe, either through the league or FA Cup, was a possibility. He will want improvement. If he doesn't think he will get it, Silva is bound to start looking at his options.Follow the Q&A and the rest of the day's football news here

Transfer news LIVE: Liverpool make £113m Wirtz offer, Inter inquire about Hojlund, Spurs target Frank as new manager
Tottenham released a lengthy statement explaining their decision to dismiss manager Ange Postecoglou: FOLLOWING a review of performances and after significant reflection, the Club can announce that Ange Postecoglou has been relieved of his duties. Ange joined us from Celtic in the summer of 2023 and oversaw a period of change on the pitch, returning us to the attacking brand of football that has traditionally been associated with the Club, while writing a new chapter in our history by leading us to UEFA Europa League glory in Bilbao last month - an achievement that will live with us all forever. We are extremely grateful to Ange for his commitment and contribution during his two years at the Club. Ange will always be remembered as only the third manager in our history to deliver a European trophy, alongside legendary figures Bill Nicholson and Keith Burkinshaw. However, the Board has unanimously concluded that it is in the best interests of the Club for a change to take place. Following a positive start in the 2023/24 Premier League (PL) season, we recorded 78 points from the last 66 PL games. This culminated in our worst-ever PL finish last season. At times there were extenuating circumstances - injuries and then a decision to prioritise our European campaign. Whilst winning the Europa League this season ranks as one of the Club's greatest moments, we cannot base our decision on emotions aligned to this triumph. It is crucial that we are able to compete on multiple fronts and believe a change of approach will give us the strongest chance for the coming season and beyond. This has been one of the toughest decisions we have had to make and is not a decision that we have taken lightly, nor one we have rushed to conclude. We have made what we believe is the right decision to give us the best chance of success going forward, not the easy decision. We have a talented, young squad and Ange has given us a great platform to build upon. We should like to express our gratitude to him. We wish him well for the future - he will always be welcome back at our home. News on the appointment of a new Head Coach will be announced in due course.

Arsenal transfer news LIVE: Gunners ‘make contact' with Rogers, Rodrygo wage demands revealed, Martinelli exit possible
Isak tipped for Arsenal Jamie O'Hara has claimed that Arsenal should sign Newcastle star Aleksander Isak over Viktor Gyokeres or Benjamin Sesko. He told Grosvenor Sport: 'The obvious position to strengthen for Arsenal is a striker – they need to get one in. 'They need someone big and strong who can get them 20 goals a season. For me, Kai Havertz just isn't the man for the job. 'Alexander Isak, Viktor Gyokeres or Benjamin Sesko are the obvious choices in the striker department for them. However, the trouble with strikers who come over from other leagues is that they fail to hit the ground running – particularly players from the Bundesliga and Liga Portugal. There's a massive difference between playing there and in the Premier League. 'I think clubs should be buying Premier League proven players who have been doing it week in, week out already. That's why I think Manchester United have been quite clever by signing Bryan Mbuemo and Matheus Cunha – we all know they're going to work for them. 'With that in mind, if I were Arsenal, I'd go and get Isak. I know it will be hard because Newcastle are in the Champions League, but Arsenal are a bigger club than Newcastle and could definitely tempt him.'

We have been suffering all sort of hassle because of the rubbish. "I have friends who live in Sandwell and their rubbish collections are working really well, and here we are in the middle of chaos." Ms Warley has previously been unable to get her mobility scooter along the street because of bin bags blocking the are Birmingham bin workers on strike?Bin strike exposes divide between rich and poorOn-and-off strike action began on 6 January with 12 walkouts planned across four months. The union began an indefinite all-out strike on 11 have been held under the chairmanship of concilliatory firm Acas, but the dispute has remained in Message, who lives on Brookfield Road, said: "It's been pretty depressing to be honest because we never know if we are going to get a collection and the rubbish has piled up, it was really horrific. "I was really surprised to get the leaflet from Sandwell, it turns out it was wrongly delivered. "There is no communication, that is my bug bear, we don't know what is going on. " Mr Message added. The strike started when the union claimed about 170 workers faced losing up to £8,000 a year - but the council disputed the has since escalated into a dispute about a decision to remove a Waste Recycling and Collection Officer (WRCO) The Union said on Wednesday that 97% of those who voted backed continued strike action, on a 75% turnout."The decision makers at Birmingham council need to get in the room and put forward an acceptable offer," said Unite general secretary Sharon Graham, warning strikes would continue for "as long as it takes".A council spokesperson said it had made a "fair and reasonable offer" and that it remained committed to resolving the added that it had urged the union to put that offer to its Council said it used "the most cost-effective approach to reach the vast majority of Sandwell households, although this means some leaflets have unfortunately been delivered to addresses just outside Sandwell."To help avoid confusion, we have clearly stated on the front of the leaflet that the changes relate to Sandwell's bin collections."
