Graham: "Nunca dudé en seguir, le diría a todo el mundo que venga a jugar al Barça"

No hay dinero, ni ofertas, ni propuestas ni cantos de sirena que hayan sido capaces de hacer dudar a Caroline Graham (31 años) sobre si seguir o no en el FC Barcelona. La delantera noruega, uno de los pesos pesados del vestuario y de las más queridas por la afición, vivió este jueves su acto de renovación en la oficina comercial del Spotify Camp Nou. Tras firmar junto a Joan Laporta y Xavi Puig en el despacho del presidente, y ante la presencia también del directivo Àngel Riudalbas, del director deportivo Marc Vivés y de su adjunto Jordi Arasa, Caroline, sonriente, elegante y radiante, contó a los medios presentes que nunca dudó en seguir como azulgrana.

There are more signs the UFL could be leaving Birmingham

Yes, the Stallions may be checking out of Birmingham.

Beyond the conspicuous absence of Birmingham from the list of UFL teams looking for a head of business operations, UFL co-owner Mike Repole has made it clear that a relocation is possible if not likely.

"Sitting in a senior leadership meeting planning the [the UFL] 2027 season, one thing is becoming very clear," Repole said Tuesday on Twitter. "The right market. The right sized venue. A passionate fan base. That’s the WINNING formula. I have a hard time seeing us back at Protective Stadium next year. It goes against one of the biggest principles we’re building this league around [. . .] smaller stadiums, packed houses, real energy and a true home field atmosphere. Birmingham, I am looking and need options and ideas."

It's hardly a coincidence that the UFL posted notices for the head of business operations jobs at all teams except Birmingham that same day. A move out of Birmingham looks to be firmly in play.

Will there be a Birmingham alternative to Protective Stadium? With a capacity of 47,100, that's way too big for the UFL. Repole wants venues that more easily reflect the presence of human beings in the building.

So when Repole says, "Birmingham, I am looking and need options and ideas," the message could be not specifically for Birmingham but to another city that may be interested in pilfering the Stallions.

MotoGP Tyre Costs Under Scrutiny

The arrival of a new American owner to MotoGP is expected to bring transparency to financial matters in the championship, including how much MotoGP tyres cost and who pays for them. In a sport with significant secrecy around rider earnings, manufacturer payments, and championship distributions, this shift could reveal details about various expenses.

Tyres represent one of the significant operational costs in motorsport, yet information about their costs and payment structures has remained confidential. The new ownership's approach, more open about financial matters in American culture, may finally provide answers to these long-standing questions about MotoGP's financial arrangements.
