ALEX JENNINGS: Talk to people in football about Davide‚ son of Carlo‚ and their responses might as well be about his dad. Amiable. Unflappable. Intelligent. Tactically flexible. Good man-manager. Tale padre‚ tale figlio‚ as they say in Milan. Like father‚ like son. Where Davide diverges from Carlo is a lack of experience - more specifically the absence of a trophy cabinet full to the point of bursting. While Carlo has won the European Cup seven times as a player and manager‚ the younger Ancelotti will be managing in just his second game in the competition at Arsenal's Emirates Stadium on Tuesday night. Work to do‚ too‚ after his Champions League debut saw his Lille side twice blow a lead at home to Real Betis.

The official verdict was released on Tuesday afternoon‚ which showed City had cooked the books to the tune of nearly £900million through money artificially pumped into the club by their Abu Dhabi owners over a nine-year period. City have denied any wrongdoing‚ and have confirmed they have appealed. But that hasn't stopped fans having a pop at the Manchester club‚ and Potter‚ who was manager of Chelsea between 2022 and 2023‚ has done the same.

Mikel Merino has compared 'unbelievable talent' Max Dowman to Lamine Yamal and claimed his Arsenal team-mates have challenged the youngster to get even better. Yamal‚ who is in the running for the Ballon d'Or‚ has taken the football world by storm ever since breaking into Barcelona's first team as a regular aged just 16 - the same age as Dowman. Merino won the World Cup with Spain this summer‚ with Yamal‚ now 19‚ a key part of the team. Yet‚ Merino views Dowman‚ who struck an impressive brace against Ipswich on Tuesday night in the Carabao Cup third round‚ in a similar light to his international team-mate.

When a young player wants to leave a football club‚ it is a default mechanism in the culture of English football to blame the kid for being a prima donna with ideas above his station or‚ more often‚ point the finger at a pushy parent or an unscrupulous agent for putting dollar signs ahead of development. And so it has been with JJ Gabriel. When the news broke on Tuesday afternoon that Gabriel‚ who is 15-years-old and perhaps the most feted young player at Manchester United since Ryan Giggs‚ had asked to leave the club ahead of his 16th birthday next month‚ it was greeted with a mixture of dismay and horror at Old Trafford. But instead of blaming the kid or his parents or an intermediary‚ or all three‚ the breakdown in relations between Gabriel and the club feels more like yet the latest symbol of the decline of a club that is learning the hard way that more than a decade of mismanagement at the top of the organisation comes with consequences.
