File PictureSINGAPORE, 27 JANUARY 2012 – The Football Association of Singapore (FAS) has completed its investigation into the allegations against S.League Deputy Chief Executive Officer Johan Gouttefangeas (pictured above).

While German giants Bayern Munich are busy calming down fans who are angered that the club's commitment to unveil a major new signing today was simply a promotion for a new app, Liverpool managing director Ian Ayre is making sure that the Kop's transfer expectations remain low, to begin with.

English media has heavily linked Liverpool with the likes of Real Madrid's Esteban Granero, Groningen's David Texeira, Rangers' Nikica Jelavic, and Udinese's Mauricio Isla.

It's been less than 24 hours since the team arrived in Panama City, and already there's been a lot of activity.

Senegal striker Papiss Demba Cisse will team up with international team-mate Demba Ba at Newcastle United after signing from Freiburg for a fee thought to be around £10m.
Cisse has signed a five-and-a-half-year at the club and will wear the much-coveted number nine shirt. The 26-year-old will have to wait for his Newcastle debut due to his involvement in the Africa Cup of Nations.

Liverpool say they expect to earn a staggering £300m through their new six-year deal with the US sportswear company Warrior Sports, and have denied accusations that underachievement on the pitch led to the collapse of their current kit deal with Adidas.
Warrior, owned by New Balance, will become the club's kit supplier from June having agreed a £25m-a-year deal to enter the football industry for the first time.

Liverpool managing director Ian Ayre insists any perception that Liverpool's handling of the Luis Suarez affair means they take a soft stance on racism is "totally and utterly rubbish".
The Reds have come in for criticism in recent weeks for the way they have behaved during Luis Suarez's unsuccessful defence against allegations he racially abused Manchester United's Patrice Evra.

Liverpool has received the full support of their multi-million pound shirt sponsor, Standard Chartered, in the aftermath of the recent race-row controversies which engulfed the club.
Anti-racism organisations, especially Football Against Racism in Europe's executive director, Piara Power, claimed Liverpool's reputation and ‘brand' has been severely damaged in the light of the Luis Suárez affair.

The Evening Chronicle is reporting today that Newcastle officials are currently in France discussing some transfer moves.

As I reported yesterday on these pages, Newcastle United's managing Director, Derek Llambias, has responded to Joey Barton's allegations about himself and owner, Mike Ashley, with a threat of legal action. This is almost certainly an empty threat by the perfidious M.D. as he knows what happened, and what would probably happen if he attempted [.

A few days after Newcastle United's already despised Managing Director, Derek Llambias, announced the club's corporate renaming of the club's traditional home as "The Sports Direct Arena", it would be hard to imagine his or Mike Ashley's reputation sinking any lower. However all that has changed now after one simple drunken rant in a bar [.

Liverpool managing director Ian Ayre has reassured fans the club will not...

Newcastle's managing director Derek Llambias has allegedly launched a stunning rant against former managers Kevin Keegan and Alan Shearer and said that Andy Carroll was not worth the £35 million that Liverpool paid for him.
A report in the Sunday Mirror claims that Llambias was caught on tape slamming the Newcastle legends to Toon fans in a bar and former Magpies striker Carroll bore the brunt of the foul-mouthed abuse.

Newcastle United Managing Director Derek Llambias serves up an expletive-ridden speech against Keegan, Shearer, Hughton and Carroll. Amidst all the furore of stadium renaming, you'd think one of the things our Managing Director would try to do is talk around the fans and sweeten them up to the whole fiasco.

Newcastle Managing Director has issued a foul mouthed tirade against Newcastle legends Alan Shearer and Kevin Keegan, and he's thrown in some criticism of Chris Hughton too. Foul mouthed attack on Alan Shearer and Kevin Keegan Derek hardly ever gives interviews, so it's just a little sad that when he does he use foul mouthed language and criticizes [.

Shocking move by the Colorado Rockies who fired coach Gary Smith. What makes this decision such a head scratcher is that Smith led the Rapids to their first MLS Cup less than a year ago.

Managing director Jeff Plush said Monday that he decided not to renew Smith's contract, which ended after the season.

Newcastle United have renamed St James' Park the Sports Direct Arena with immediate effect.

What started as a typical Twitter rumour early on Wednesday evening has now been confirmed, with the news originally embargoed until midnight on Thursday morning.

Firstly though, he [.

You could see the writing on the wall with this for several weeks. Gary Smith was not happy and neither were the folks above him with the Colorado Rapids.

Well there seems to be some good things happening at Newcastle these days, and one of them, is that Managing Director Derek Llambias now seems fully behind the players.
