Grounded: Rayo Vallecano’s paper planes bring club’s crisis into the open

Long-awaited return to Vallecas lasted just 13 minutes, as supporters made their displeasure with their chair, Raúl Martín Presa, impossible to ignoreIt took 147 days for Rayo Vallecano to walk out for a competitive game on the Avenida de Albufera and 24 minutes and 56 seconds for them to walk off again. Half of those had been spent watching thousands of paper planes touch down on the turf, play suspended while a message was delivered, over and over, until it was impossible to avoid. Forced from their home, the team from the barrio had been away for five months. On the bright Saturday afternoon that they came back, there were just 13 minutes of football, a fans’ protest instead forcing the abandonment of their match with Athletic Club, the latest episode in a never-ending story.The last time there had been a league game here was a victory over Villarreal in May. A lot has happened since: little Rayo, Rayo Vallecano, had played a European final, 11,000 fans heading to Leipzig where, as the banner perfectly put it, they knew no greater victory than being with you in defeat. Iñigo Pérez, the manager who took them there, had departed. And Óscar Trejo, the man who gave up the armband over treatment of staff – the best thing he could do as captain was to stop being captain – had retired and been immortalised the way the barrio does best: in graffiti four storeys high. Then, in late July, the Madrid government suspended the agreement that allows them to use the ground in return for €81,784 a year. Continue reading...

Champions Day – and Balding v O’Brien – can give Flat season a fitting finale

The Ascot head-to-head battle for the trainers’ title adds spice to a fascinating day of racing on SaturdayWith five Group Ones, a £250,000 juvenile race and a decent racing surface (if the weather forecast is correct), the schedule for Champions Day at Ascot on Saturday looks like the fitting finale to the British Flat season that its architects envisaged 15 years ago. Add in the bonus of a live contest for the UK Flat trainers’ championship and this is a card that promises twists and turns from the first race to the last.Less than a month ago, Andrew Balding was a double-figure price to win the title for the first time, while Aidan O’Brien was effectively “no offers” to win for the third year running, and ninth time in all. He starts the week as a 6-4 shot with Paddy Power, while O’Brien is 1-2 – and it is a measure of the extent to which the two trainers have dominated the campaign that even before Champions Day, both have already surpassed John Gosden’s record prize-money total of £8.52m in 2017.

Football Daily | Manchester City, Liverpool and the multibillion-pound mirage

Sign up now! Sign up now! Sign up now? Sign up now!While it was hardly Boca Juniors v River Plate at La Bombonera, Sunday’s eagerly anticipated match between Liverpool and Manchester City rated about 8.5 on the official Football Daily feist-o-meter by the Premier League’s comparatively tame standards. The visitors walked out to a loud chorus of pantomime booing and some mildly amusing banners reminding them of their serial cheating, there was some defiant “doing” of the Poznan in the away end and … er, that was about it. For all the faux media concern, one of the most hyped Premier League matches of all time passed off without anything much in the way of flashpoints. We’ve seen more rancorous, heated physical exchanges at the judging of the best Victoria sponge at the local church fete.Fair play to Xavi Simons for taking a business course (Friday’s Football Daily, full email edition), but if he’s serious about ‘using his time in the best way possible’ he should read What they Teach you at Harvard Business School by Philip Delves Broughton and What they Don’t Teach you at Harvard Business School by Mark H McCormack. As the joke goes, these two books contain the sum of all human knowledge” – Pål Jørgen Bakke.As José Mourinho has already, in the space of just two months, done his infamous ‘por qué’, printing out a piece of paper to ‘prove’ he’s right to the media and refusing to show up at the press conference after Vinícius Júnior rightly, and hilariously, had a great goal chalked off and was sent off in the same move for hair-pulling, it’s good to see that, like all great artists of the past, he’s just ended up as a bad tribute act to his former self, doing a farewell tour and churning out all the hits” – Noble Francis.Is there a word count for submissions to Football Da
