Iconic club who Pep Guardiola played for booted out of the league after 114 years
Roberto Baggio, Andrea Pirlo, Luca Toni, Marek Hamsik and Mario Balotelli also played for that club GAME OVER Iconic club who Pep Guardiola played for booted out of the league after 114 years Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) FAMOUS Italian club Brescia have been booted out of the country's professional leagues for the first time in their 114-year history. The former Serie A side is now facing EXTINCTION due to financial problems and is close to declaring bankruptcy. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 3 Pep Guardiola's former club Brescia have been booted out of Italy's professional leagues 3 Roberto Baggio and Andrea Pirlo also played for Brescia, who now face extinction 3 Mario Balotelli is part of Brescia's impressive alumni page The Italian Football Federation - also knows as the FIGC - announced on Thursday that they withdrew the club's professional status and license. The FIGC released the following statement: "The FIGC Federal Council takes note of the refusal to grant Brescia Calcio a national license for the 2025-2026 season and therefore to accept it to play the 2025-2026 Serie C season." Brescia started this season in Serie B but failed to pay debts of more than £2.5million. The Lombardy giants were promoted to Serie A in 2019 but were relegated the very next season. Things went from bad to worse last term as they were deducted four points amid their financial woes, which saw them drop to Serie C. Rolando Maran's side initially managed to secure their place in Serie B as they finished 15th. However, Brescia were hit with an eight-point penalty - four for this past season and another four for the next one - due to administrative offences. That saw them drop to 18th place, which ultimately led to relegation to the third division. CASINO SPECIAL - BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITS Brescia are owned by Massimo Cellino, who was in charge of Leeds between 2014 and 2017 before buying the Italian side eight years ago. Cellino had a troubled tenure in Yorkshire and left amid fan protests and much discontent. Sean Dyche reveals what Pep Guardiola said to Steve Bruce about Lionel Messi that left him in tears Now Brescia are facing a very uncertain future that could see them disappear altogether. This is a famous Italian club that has seen a raft of legendary players wear the jersey. That includes current Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola, who is part of a rich alumni page that includes Roberto Baggio, Andrea Pirlo, Luca Toni, Marek Hamsik and Mario Balotelli.

Homeowners will be able to build WIND FARMS in their back garden under new green energy government plans
YOUR neighbour could soon have a turbine in their garden in a green energy shake-up GOING GREEN Homeowners will be able to build WIND FARMS in their back garden under new green energy government plans Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) HOMEOWNERS may be able to build wind farms in their back garden under new green energy government plans. Energy secretary Ed Miliband has revealed plans to launch a consultation on shaking up rules for building wind farms on personal property. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 Government plans could see it easier to build wind farms in gardens Credit: Getty 2 Wind farms can help to reduce your energy bills but have been slammed as being an eyesore Credit: Reuters It could mean wind turbines on rooftops and in people's gardens could be easier to build. Wind farms can help to reduce energy bills, because it can be a cheaper way of generating electricity. A consultation will be launched at the end of the year. The shake-up was set out as part of the government's big push on doubling onshore wind farms across England by 2030. Other plans include building up a skilled workforce to build farms and creating 45,000 jobs by the end of the decade and repowering old turbines. The government said local communities who agree to have wind farms built in the area could get extra money for new facilities like football pitches and libraries. Households could even get cheaper energy bills through discount schemes. The government estimated that £70 million of community funding will be unlocked under its plans. Mr Miliband said: "The reality is that every turbine we build helps protect families, businesses and the public finances from future fossil fuel shocks.' However, the Conservatives pushed back against the strategy, accusing the energy secretary of making the country's energy 'unreliable and expensive' through his 'obsession with climate targets'. This is the latest push from the government to boost wind power so that the UK does not rely on other countries - especially Russia - for gas supply. Families were told that they could save £45 on their energy bills every year under plans to build wind and solar farms near energy-guzzling towns and cities. However, the push on wind farms have been slammed by local residents with turbines planned near them. Locals said they were considering moving out of the area because of plans for a wind farm project at Cabrach. What else can you do to lower bills If you live near a wind farm, you could benefit from cheaper energy bills. But there are other ways to save money if you don't live near one. If you are struggling with your energy bills, get in touch with your local council to enquire about the Household Support Fund. The programme is designed to help struggling families with rising food and energy costs. The amount you can get varies from council to council. No matter how happy you are with your current energy supplier, they may not be providing you with the best deals, especially if you've let a fixed-rate contract expire without arranging a new one. If you haven't browsed any alternative tariffs lately, then you may not be aware that there are better options out there. Little tricks like defrosting your freezer to help it run more efficiently and cutting your shower time can also add up to big savings over the year.

Every eight figure Celtic transfer profit as Nicolas Kuhn gets set to add to £133m bonanza
There are few better at buying low and selling high than Celtic – and here are eight reasons why There's no denying Celtic 's ability to buy low and sell high is a central part of what's made them the dominant force in Scottish football. Nicolas Kuhn looks set to become the latest player signed for a modest fee and sold on for big bucks with Como zeroing in on a £17.2million deal for the German. Signing those uncut gems and refining them before making serious cash has been the platform for success at Parkhead both on and off the pitch and Kuhn, signed for just £3m from Rapid Vienna in 2024, will become the latest to bank them an incredible eight-figure profit. There have been eight others over the years who have come and gone, leaving Celtic £10m (or more) in the green along the way. So as Kuhn gets set for an Italian adventure, Record Sport have taken a look at the others in detail. Disclaimer: We've only included the initial fees paid here, so some of the final figures may be inflated after add-ons and sell-on percentages. OK, let's get into it! Victor Wanyama (Celtic to Southampton, 2013) Virgil van Dijk (Celtic to Southampton, 2015) Moussa Dembele (Celtic to Lyon, 2018) Kieran Tierney (Celtic to Arsenal, 2019)
