Falkirk lacking 'a bit of magic'

BBC News2 days ago
Former Celtic striker Cillian Sheridan worries Falkirk are lacking "a bit of magic" in their squad.The Bairns get their top flight season under way next weekend when they host Dundee United but Sheridan has concerns over John McGlynn's squad. "I don't think they've really added enough to the squad," he told the BBC's Scottish Football Podcast. "I know McGlynn hasn't changed much of his squad from even from the League One days. "They're brilliant, really well coached and every player knows exactly where the other player is going to be. I would just worry about the overall strength in the squad in terms of having individual game changers rather than the collective being really good. "I know that they have quality like Scott Arfield in the midfield and very good attacking players but I just feel like in that moment where they just need one player to produce something, a bit of magic, out with the setup of the team, that might be where they could struggle."

Leon Marchand adds another world record to his tally

French swimmer Leon Marchand has set a new world record in the men's 200m individual medley. Marchand clocked 1:52.69 at the World Championships in Singapore, surpassing Ryan Lochte 's 14-year-old record of 1:54.00. The Olympic champion achieved the feat in his semi-final, with the final scheduled for Thursday. Marchand, who also holds the world record for the 400m individual medley, earned $30,000 for breaking the record. He had taken an extended break after his Olympic triumph and faced injuries before making his return to competition in May.

Man United hire F1 guru who has never worked in football to lead data department

Manchester United have appointed a serial winner from Formula One as their new data guru in a bid to use AI to transform their fortunes. Mike Sansoni, who contributed to eight world championship-winning seasons in an 11-year spell at the Mercedes F1 team, has joined United as director of data. Sansoni, who has never worked in football before and was Mercedes' senior performance engineer, replaces Dominic Jordan, who left United last year. But Sansoni, who will report to chief executive Omar Berrada at Old Trafford, is known to United co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe as Ineos have a minority stake in Mercedes. United want Sansoni to use his knowledge of data and artificial intelligence to make a huge difference and, after making 450 people redundant, will appoint further people to his team. They said: 'He has been tasked with establishing Manchester United as a data-led organisation, embedding predictive and AI-driven decision-making across football and the wider club.' United have also appointed former Channel 4 director Kirstin Furber as their new people director. Furber, who has also worked for other broadcasters in BBC Worldwide and 20th Century Fox, has been on the board at British Wheelchair Basketball and the London Football Association.
