Only the news you need – bringing you five mainstream and five off-the-wall news stories each day

1. Jose Mourinho has been given the vote of confidence by the Chelsea board after a club statement released earlier today said that the Portuguese manager had the club’s full support.

3. Following Brendan Rodgers’ sacking last night, Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher has urged the club’s board to go all out to bring former Borussia Dortmund manager Jurgen Klopp in to manager the club going forward.

4. After parting company with Sunderland, Dutchman Dick Advocaat has admitted that his Sunderland squad were simply not good enough to avoid another scrap for survival in the Premier League this time around.

5. Having thrashed Borussia Dortmund in Der Klassiker over the weekend, Bayern Munich striker Thomas Muller is adamant that he and his teammates are on the way to making history by securing a record-breaking fourth straight Bundesliga title.

10. When football and charity can combine, it’s a great thing. We all love it. Piers Morgan and Gary Neville have upped their game this weekend though by betting each other £5,000 to their chosen charities, that Manchester United will finish above Arsenal, and vice-versa. Whoever wins that one, it’s a great gesture for the charities either way! (Joe.co.uk)
