BBC Radio Merseyside also discussed the situation with Liverpool fan, Joel Richards, who called Mac Allister’s comments a “clever tactic”. “Mac Allister’s at an age now, 27, where his next contract is going to be the biggest one of his career,” Richards said.”He is someone who will be looking to be remunerated properly after seeing his team-mates getting bumper pay rises so, of course he’s going to put it out there that he came very close to leaving in the summer.”I’d say it’s a clever tactic but how many times have we been here with footballers when they get a…

“Horrendous” is not a word anyone wants to hear in their appraisal.It was, however, the word chosen by Conor O’Shea, the man responsible for overseeing England’s international success, to describe the men’s team’s 2026 Six Nations campaign.And many fans will find it entirely apt.England won only one match, their worst return since the tournament’s expansion a quarter of a century ago. They lacked cohesion, discipline and tactical variety. It prompted profound, widespread questions about the future of head coach Steve Borthwick.But, O’Shea revealed to Rugby Union Weekly, it has also preceded a contract extension for Borthwick.Borthwick’s terms now extend beyond…
