How David Moyes will relight a fire in Jack Grealish: Everton boss' persuasive tricks, why England star snubbed Napoli and Atletico Madrid and the 'big dream'

The best stories involve late night private jets and this one illustrates the lengths to which David Moyes will go to gather a jewel. Jack Grealish will appreciate today how Marouane Fellaini once felt, back in the summer of 2008, and it makes sense here to underline a manager's ambition for a club and the powerful way he can speak to convince a player to work with him, when other destinations may seem more likely.

Bemused commuter slapped with 15 train tickets after taking bike on train

A BEMUSED rail user was issued with 15 tickets to take his bicycle on a day return trip. The man, who usually gets a digital day return, had to buy the physical version because of his cycle. He watched amazed as a machine spat out four split-fare singles, eight bike vouchers, two seat reservations and a collection receipt. And his tickets, which cost £43.60 through Trainline, were not checked once on the Bristol to Exeter return. He posted a picture of the stack online, captioned: 'What a perfectly streamlined system. 'Turns out if you bring a bike then you travel like it's 1985.' The man, who did not want to be named, added: 'I found it ridiculous but not surprising. 'This is quintessential British Rail network inefficiency. 'We are miles behind the rest of Europe and even Australia with this sort of thing.' Others replied with snaps of their own ticket collections. Some called for more contactless systems across the UK. Great Western Railway said booking tickets through third parties automatically generated separate tickets and reservations for each part of a journey. A spokesman said: 'Each one serves an important purpose in ensuring a customer has a valid ticket for each part of the trip. 'Purchasing tickets directly through our channels, or on our app, would result in fewer individual documents.' Watch the shocking moment cow puts Irish Rail services to a HALT during morning rush 1

Edinburgh Airport vows to spruce up arrivals hall after complaints

Edinburgh Airport has pledged to look at sprucing up its arrivals hall after travellers moaned that it looked like 'corrugated iron and wire'. The transport hub, one of Scotland's main gateways for international tourists, has this summer been peppered with complaints about its supposedly drab interior and 'unacceptable' delays at immigration controls. Its managers stress they are handling more passengers than ever before — a record of 62,458 people was hit on July 11 — and investing heavily. The airport expects to spend about £90 million this year on various capital projects, up from £52 million in 2024, with the sum forecast to rise to £120 million next year. Some of that money will be put towards plans to continue to overhaul the terminal as passenger numbers rise.
