And just when things looked on the up for 2016, the Eels were struck down by allegations of salary-cap rorting that eventually led to the stripping of 12 points and a complete restructure of their administration.

Amazon's Prime Early Access Sale might just be days away but if you can't resist a bargain or worried you won't get what you want on the day then the mega-site has you covered with huge discounts already on the site.

Vodafone could be attractive to a US buyer, the source added. 'Darktrace has been battered since it went public, so it would make sense, and Vodafone could happen at some point. Though Vodafone is very big and very political - it would be a US buyer coming in, if anybody did.' 

The Quest 2 used to be $299, but a surprise to $400 (or $500 for the version with more storage) has made Meta's nearly two-year-old self-contained VR headset even more expensive. But even with the increased price, the Quest 2 remains the best and most versatile VR headset of the moment. It's also, considering it requires no gaming console, phone or PC, the most affordable.

Cole Palmer has followed Foden's lead and is now fully integrated into Guardiola's squad. At least one Premier League club asked to take the tricky forward on loan this term but were met with a firm no. 
Certainly the idea of having up to seven academy graduates on a pitch during a Premier League game seemed far-fetched at best. Yet on Saturday, Southampton arrive at the Etihad Stadium having spent more than £40million on four of City's kids in one summer.
While the sale is exclusively for Prime members (), there are already plenty of items on sale now with savings of up to 70 per cent off on Alexa-enabled smart devices, home, tech and more - and you don't need a Prime membership.

Blue chip firms including gambling group Entain, packaging company DS Smith and telecoms behemoths BT and Vodafone are all now vulnerable to foreign corporate raiders, according to experts at broker Canaccord Genuity. 

He added: 'Private equity may struggle to raise finance. This is why we believe we will also see a potential wave of corporate mergers and acquisitions. UK valuations were very attractive even before the dramatic fall in sterling.'

If your idea of the best VR headset is to have the best image quality in consumer VR, wins. For serious gamers (or ), it's probably your best choice.

Built-in camera-based room-tracking is easier to set up than the Valve Index's external base stations, but is more prone to tracking errors. The included controllers, based on Microsoft's VR controller design, feel clunkier than either the Quest 2 controllers or Valve Index controllers. Also, the over-ear speakers are your only audio choice: there's no headphone jack.
