For now, we have to deal with the reality. And there is a cold truth to what has just happened. In 2026, Swindon were the architects of their own downfall, yet they spent far too much time trying to attribute blame to others.

Wycombe Wanderers ended their season with a 3-2 win over Rotherham United, with three players netting their first league goals for the club.

Leicester City's relegation has been a collective lack of effort on and off the pitch, but one area that has come under specific scrutiny is set-pieces.

For decades the England manager’s seat has been framed as the ‘impossible job’, based on the scrutiny and expectation that comes with it. But as Thomas Tuchel prepares for his first World Cup, CHRIS ELDERGILL explores how the landscape has shifted, and why club football now places greater demands on managers.
