CRAIG HOPE: The journey that brought Mark Clattenburg on board with the Daily Mail began in the foyer of a social club in Seaham in 2017. He was - not for the first time and, as this week shows, not for the last - at the centre of a media storm. The best referee in the world, he was quitting the Premier League for Saudi Arabia halfway through the season. It was back-page news. Clattenburg, however, had a commitment to give a talk to raise money for a junior football club close to his County Durham home. I bought a ticket and sat at the back of the room. Moments before the scheduled start, he was made aware of my presence and left the stage. He wanted a chat in the foyer. Was I about to get a red card?

Steve Stone, a White Sox color analyst, has apologised after denying Lance Lynn's weight. Lynn has off to a rocky start in his five starts this season, pitching a 7.52 ERA en route to a 0-3 record. This week, Stone took aim at the 270-pound Lynn.

Kyle Farmer, the Minnesota Twins' shortstop, made a 92-mph pitch to the side on Wednesday before stepping off the field under his own authority. Lucas Giolito, a 32-year-old journeyman infielder, was struck below his helmet's pitching, and the immediate reaction was covered up in fear. 'Goodness gracious,' said White Sox announcer Steve Stone. 'Oh no.' Rocco Baldelli, the Twins' manager, and members of Minnesota's training staff were rushed out to Farmer right away.

Sean Dyche has settled quickly into life as a Premier League manager, and he would not have preferred a more familiar territory than the City Ground. Dyche and his support staff, Steve Stone and Ian Woan, were on the books at Forest, although Dyche never made a first-team appearance, although Dyche has a home in Nottingham and was a regular attender of Forest home games between Burnley and joining Everton. There's no doubt about split loyalties here, but especially because Woan is a lifelong Everton fan and played in the club's youth team as a player.

DOMINIC KING: After accepting the 'honor' of being Everton's new manager, Sean Dyche has promised to get Everton's players sweating on their shirts.

Ian Woan, Steve Stone, and Mark Howard will all be supported by the former Burnley manager's coaching staff from Turf Moor.

Everton's new boss, Sean Dyche, will fight to prevent them from relegation with immediate effect. In the next 24 hours, the club will announce his appointment.
