Bond was suspended and then sacked by Newcastle as a result of the allegations. Both of these allegations are illegal under FA rules. Officials from Liverpool and Newcastle United were also implicated in attempts to sign Porritt. That three different Bolton transfer signings involved secret payments from agents to Craig Allardyce, some when he was contractually banned from doing any Bolton deals. Collymore also represents England cricketer Simon Jones.

On 20 September, The Football Association asked the BBC to provide all of the collected evidence and announced that it would investigate these allegations. I have therefore instructed my lawyers to prepare my case against the BBC. Kevin Bond: said that he intended to sue the BBC for libel. In response, Bond issued a statement claiming that Newcastle had sacked him without investigating properly. Kevin Bond filed legal papers against the BBC, but withdrew the libel action, 8 days before the trial was set to commence.

Статьи очень живые, интересные и тематики разнообразные — от высокого искусства до советов о личной жизни. Специально для любителей языков созданы разделы Languages и English and creative writing. Стиль изложения бывает сложным, особенно если речь о колонках, но в обычных информационных статьях — довольно понятный язык, хотя и более сложный, чем в BBC или таблоидах. Есть платная подписка, но даже того объема, который доступен бесплатно, вполне достаточно для того, чтобы быть в курсе событий. Можно установить бесплатное приложение с приятным дополнением в виде еженедельной подборки увлекательных лонгридов. Основной контент — о том, что происходит в Великобритании, но также есть отделы международных новостей. Для доступа к статьям The Telegraph необходимо зарегистрироваться, но можно это сделать через соцсети. The Independent отличает легкий стиль изложения, увлекательный раздел LifeStyle и все материалы доступны бесплатно и без регистрации. Минус — статьи ориентированы на читателей, живущих в Великобритании. Обе газеты предлагают приложения, а The Independent даже два — ежедневное и еженедельное. The Daily Mail Популярные британские таблоиды еще называют чтивом домохозяек. Слоган одного из них — News, sport, celebrities and gossip — точно отражает суть таких газет. Не стоит искать там серьезных новостей, аналитики и статей об искусстве. Что там есть, так это легкий и живой язык с многочисленными фразеологизмами и даже сленгом, подробности скандалов из мира политики и шоу-бизнеса, слухи из жизни британской королевской семьи. Минусы — всплывающие периодически шокирующие снимки жертв преступлений, жутких болячек или людей-мутантов из индийских деревень. Плюсы — понятное изложение и полностью бесплатный контент, включая приложения. Есть даже раздел о России. Все статьи — довольно объемные и перенасыщены фотографиями, видео и виджетами соцсетей, но каждую предваряет анонс из списка коротких и понятных фраз, описывающих суть и самые эффектные факты материала. Euronews О событиях в странах Евросоюза можно почитать на сайте телеканала Euronews. Статьи и видеосюжеты рассортированы по традиционным новостным разделам Europe, World, Business, Sport, Culture. Под видеосюжетами есть расшифровки.

Beckenbauer, 70, captained and coached Germany to the 1974 and 1990 World Cup titles respectively and was head of the organising committee for the 2006 finals. He has repeatedly denied both that any votes were bought and that he is guilty of any wrongdoing.
Yet as soon as they were put together on stage at the ICA, most of the participants fiercely refused to define themselves either culturally or nationally. Whether Chinese or Turkish, Moroccan or Northern Irish, they saw themselves purely as writers, compelled to tell certain stories not because they were representatives of their communities, but because they were compelled to write, full stop. One by one they queued up to challenge the premise of my event — but in doing so they brought out a quite different, and far more interesting problem. When pressed to say where her roots are, she recalled the image in the Koran of a tree that has its roots not in the earth but in the air. With an unprecedentedly mobile world population, writers are everywhere on the frontline of cultural exchange, putting into words the experiences of millions whose own identities are contested and denied. Yet writers themselves hate to be categorised: there is something about being a writer that is all about putting your roots in the air.
