The culture secretary has apologised for breaking rules by failing to declare she had received donations from the man she picked to run England's new football regulator. On Thursday, the commissioner for public appointments published a report which found that David Kogan had made two separate donations of 1,450 to Lisa Nandy, when she was running to be Labour leader in 2020.

English football authorities have agreed they will no longer hold minute's silences or other forms of commemoration for events that do not directly relate to the game. The decision was made jointly by the EFL, FA and Premier League following the creation of a new committee, the World Events Working Group (WEWG), to assess the sport's response to global events such as natural disasters and terror incidents. The news comes after a number of occasions in which authorities were questioned over their commemoration policies and deciding which events should merit tributes before matches.

FIFPRO has accused FIFA of systematically ignoring and silencing player concerns, undermining the game through an autocratic governance system and producing an overloaded match calendar.

We promised in our manifesto that we would end years of inaction and make the changes that fans have fought for for so long and are so overdue.

It breaks my heart to see the club I have followed all my life being held hostage by an owner who clearly has no interest or care for us.

"The Fifa congress is one of the most important meetings in world football, where all the 211 nations in the world's game gather to discuss issues that affect the sport."

The club is obviously very disappointed at the outcome of the appeal to the SFA tribunal, where the decision of the SPFL tribunal was upheld with the result that the 15-point deduction stands.
