News about Paul Barber

Despite scathing critiques from critics, Disney+ is reportedly reviving a second season of one of its hit shows.

As he appeared in a new film 20 years after the sitcom ended, only Fools and Horses actor Paul Barber looked worlds away from his BBC days. In the program, Paul, 72, appeared as Denzil Tulser, with audiences raving as he was expected to become embroiled in Del Boy's madcap schemes to make money. But he appears in Love Without Walls, a new film that is set to be released later this year, and he's almost unrecognizable.

Brighton chief executive Paul Barber said the Seagulls were shocked that Moises Caicedo turned down a transfer to Liverpool instead, before completing a British record £115 million transfer to Chelsea. With Liverpool and Chelsea battling it out for the Ecuadorian's signature for a few weeks, the Caicedo saga has been one of the summer's best news, with Caicedo vs. Chelsea and Chelsea also battling it out for the Ecuadorian's signature for a number of weeks. Both clubs are in need of a holding midfielder as they conduct their own squad rewrites, but the Blues dove the case, confirming the transfer on Monday.

SIMON JONES: Moises Caicedo was out of training today as he attempts to compel through his transfer to Chelsea. Paul Barber, the club's chief executive, had earlier hinted that he would be available for the club's Premier League opener against Luton Town on Saturday. Caicedo, a footballer who came from Beerschot in 2022 for £4.5 million, was not involved in their friendly against Rayo Vallecano on Sunday.

On June 14th, the latest eight-part sequel will premiere on Disney+, and with the support of the original cast, the series will explore the same working class brothers 25 years ago. According to the synopsis, the highly awaited comeback is planned in the same post-industrial city and will explore'society's dying healthcare, education, and jobs sectors.'

Hugo Speer, who was little less than a year ago, was enjoying a full life. He had a blissfully happy wife Vivienne, two wonderful daughters, Nico, now ten, and six-year-old Elki, and a wonderful family home in leafy North London, where children would leap over fences to play in each other's gardens. Hugo, a retired steel worker from Sheffield, was filming The Full Monty television drama for a hefty sum, with his Monty companions Robert Carlyle, Mark Addy, Paul Barber, Steve Huison, Lesley Sharp and Tom Wilkinson, 25 years after they made the wonderful original film about six unemployed steel workers from Sheffield, who formed a striptease group. However, this blessed life was marred last year when Hugo was barred from 'inappropriate behaviour' during filming in Manchester. His crime? He is struggling to understand it. Hugo was suspended for being caught undressed in the privacy of his own trailer while changing after a day of filming.

Six unemployed Sheffield blokes stripped off to applause in The Full Monty for a quarter of a century. The BAFTA-winning film highlighting the value of families was a worldwide hit, grossing £208 million on a £2.8 million budget. The ragtag band of brothers is back for an eight-part television series for Disney+ that catches up with the guys 25 years later.

Do you think a woman could manage a Premier League team in the near future? In our poll, vote for the first time.

IAN HERBERT: The Premier League's first female boss will need a lot of support from the club's first female manager, to shield against inevitable misogyny and abuse, according to pundit and former England international Karen Carney. Carney outlined how she was warned against "a barrage of abuse" before starting broadcasting, and that a manager bursting through the glass ceiling to govern at the top level of the men's game would progress exponentially. 'We have so much we have to do to help the first woman succeed,' Carney told a debate in London. It's likely that it would happen; it's just a matter of when.' However, if it does happen, I swear to God that they have the right manager. If the manager wanted to break through the glass ceiling, they would need a lot of help.' The appearance, which was the latest in a series of debates centered on the theme of 'Resilience,' took place in the football world, and Brighton and Hove Albion chief executive Paul Barber said that it was just a matter of time before a woman was in the top-flight.

MONEY: Daniel Levy, the current 20 clubs' highest-paid director, has reclaimed the position as the Premier League's highest-paid director. The most recent confirmed figures are from 2021-22 club accounts, and Levy's CEO, Paul Barber, was paid £3,265,000, or £400,000, a year more than second-placed Paul Barber, a year earlier. Spurs fans, who booed the team off last week after losing their last home match to Brentford in what has been a dismal season, will do nothing to lift the tone.

RIATH AL-SAMARRAI: We'll soon be talking about Trebles and the best we've ever seen, and we'll also discuss Financial Fair Play's caveats as we have increased frequency in recent weeks. We know that an asterisk is only ever written in pencil, but 115 of them are impossible to ignore, which is why I like to write about Brighton when I reflect on the season's team. It's nicer. Cleaner. It's also relative. In fact, if the music stops, they will be sixth, so five clubs are better than Brighton, if we are to be fiddly about it. However, this is why it's helpful to see their tale in the context of food franchises and who is supposed to eat who is in the richest of leagues. Brighton, who are currently in last place for wages and have invested less than they have invested on transfers in the last two seasons, has a natural knack for playing silly buggers with our bankable formulas.

LEWIS STEELE: They tuned in on Brighton goal scorer Deniz Undav embracing with one fan in the away game as Sky Sports' cameras moved away from Mikel Arteta and his Arsenal team's anguish and agony. It wasn't just any fan. It was Paul Samrah. You may not know his name. But as Brighton's landmark story comes to an end, he is just as important to the Seagulls' recent history as Tony Bloom, Paul Barber, Roberto De Zerbi, and many others who occupied the hot seat before the Italians were occupied. In a variety of countries, you can begin Brighton's prosperity tale. Perhaps it's the day at Edgar Street in Hereford, 1997, when a loss would have relegated them to non-League and perhaps financial oblivion.

JAMES SHARPE: Roberto De Zerbi slept by his bedside a few years ago when he first learned of pen and paper. It was his first season as the head of Sassuolo's Italian side, and he had no idea when lightning would strike. Inspiration would often appear in the middle of the night. 'I was up and writing down my thoughts,' he says. 'The best ideas come exactly then!' These days, the Brighton manager does not need a notepad on the nightstand, with the Premier League's burgeoning football, but it does take little to make you understand why football ruled De Zerbi's dreams.

Mitoma has been a key player for the Seagulls this season, scoring nine goals in all competitions, including dramatic late winners against Liverpool and Bournemouth. Barber's main thing was to remain focused on the remainder of the season,' he told The Beautiful Game podcast: "Obviously he's [Mitoma] another player who will be in the spotlight in the upcoming transfer window.' We're set for it, and we know it. We just hope he has a stellar second half of the season.' Brighton would not be compelled to sell the winger, according to the singer, who continued, 'We're very fortunate from a financial standpoint because we are not a club that must sell players in order to survive.' The CEO hoped that playing against Mitoma would be enjoyable, and that even 'top-level' players such as Trent Alexander-Arnold had a rough time' against him.

KATHRYN BATTE: With a game in hand, the Seagulls are on target to qualify for Europe and are just one win away from advancing to the FA Cup semi-finals. Brighton is a well-run club on and off the field, and it would be a popular neutrals' pick to finish in Europe destinations. It's impossible not to admire what Tony Bloom and Paul Barber have created here. Brighton has a knack for recruiting talented players that go on to land large transfer fees, but the club is still able to cope and deal with their departures by replacing them with even better signings.

On Thursday, Chelsea chairman Todd Boehly and Newcastle chief Amanda Staveley were seen rocking up at London's Churchill Hotel, as representatives from every top flight club met to discuss the Premier League's charge against Manchester City. On Monday, the Premier League champions were charged with over 100 suspected financial laws infractions over a nine-year cycle, and if the allegations are true, the champions could face points deductions or even expulsion from the team. The financial fair play laws at the quarterly shareholder meeting later this week will most likely be on the agenda, with the Premier League predicting a long-running confrontation with the Manchester club over the next few years.

On Boxing Day, Paul Nicholls will launch a challenge for King George VI Chase at Kempton. He has won the Christmas racing show for the 12th time. But if the 13-time champion trainer wins it again with any of his three runners, Hitman, Frodon, and Bravemansgame, there will be even more joy, given that it comes on the 30th anniversary of his first Grade One win. There have been 138 top-level matches since, but it was the triumph of Graham Bradley-ridden See More Indians in the Feltham Novices' Chase that had the colours of Paul Barber, the man who ordered him to train from his base in Ditcheat, Somerset, that had the ball rolling.

Potter, 47, joined Chelsea last week after Thomas Tuchel's dismissal following the club's 1-0 loss to Dynamo Zagreb. Todd Boehly and Chelsea's attempt to get the Brighton manager to leave the club quickly, leaving no way to get a replacement in a hurry.

Despite Billy Gilmour's departure from Chelsea being far from 'ideal' for the young midfielder, the boss has been back to take Graham Potter's departure to Chelsea' in his stride, says Brighton CEO Paul Barber. On deadline day, Chelsea's 21-year-old midfielder left Chelsea to move to Amex Stadium for £9 million. He was reluctant to leave his boyhood club early, but after speaking to Potter, he eventually joined the Seagulls, with Thomas Tuchel allowing him to leave Stamford Bridge.

Graham Potter has begged Brighton fans to excuse him for leaving the club to become Chelsea's new manager. Potter wrote an open letter on Thursday and published on Brighton's official website on Sunday that he would adore his 'three wonderful years' at Brighton, but acknowledged that some fans would not be able to forgive him.

Just £40 fined a Just Stop Oil zealot who engulfed the pitch during the Lionesses' Euros clash against Spain and glued himself to the goalposts in an apparent effort to disrupt the game. When wearing a 'Just Stop Oil' T-shirt, eco-producer Jack Cooper, who works part-time as a football coach and still lives with his parents, thrashed the pitch early in England's quarter-final 2-1 triumph at Brighton's Amex Stadium last month. The huge crowd booed the attention-seeking 21-year-old as he approached the goal, poured a substance on his hands, and pretended to glue his hands to the posts. He was then assaulted by stewards who took his hands off the goal and jailed him by police.

Following the film's original release 25 years ago, Robert Carlyle was seen filming in Halifax on Friday for the Disney+ revival of The Full Monty. Before shooting further scenes with the rest of his cast members, the film's leading man, 61, who appeared in the 1997 hit, could be seen taking a break on set. After actress Hugo Speer was booted from the Disney+ reboot last month, the cast was compelled to film reshoots.
