Fraser unlikely to have any future at Newcastle, confirms Howe

Newcastle head coach Eddie Howe has hinted Ryan Fraser is unlikely to have a future at the club.

"I think that's a difficult one for me to answer (if he has a future). I'd never put a firm decision on that because life and football can change quickly. But I'd say at the moment, no he doesn't.

Chelsea might have to SELL to avoid breaching FFP rules

Premier League chief executive Richard Masters has revealed Chelsea might have to sell players to balance their books after spending £600million on new signings this season.

"I am not here to defend them. The new owners have owned the club for less than a year, they’ve had two transfer windows. You need to judge the football club after three or four years. They might have bought, they would argue probably they have a different transfer policy to the previous regime - younger players, longer contracts and lower wages.

"Obviously within our rules, it is a test over a 12-month period so the question is whether they are going to sell some of their existing players in the next window. I don’t have the answer to that question, I’m certainly not here to defend them but you have to judge these things over a period of time," he stated at the Financial Times Business of Football Summit.
