New Jersey Hockey Now: As soon as Bruce Cassidy was let go on Sunday, a few people immediately messaged me asking if I thought he would be a good fit for the New Jersey bench. Well, here’s why I’m not so sure about it, as well as why Sheldon Keefe may not be going anywhere.

And there is a man who is going to take this decision. Or…is there? At this point, I’m not expecting Tom Fitzgerald to be fired as Devils GM. However, could he be stripped of his presidency?

A wild new report details the messy situation inside the Las Vegas Raiders that has alienated top star Max Crosby, including a teammate of Tom Brady who has few fans in the organization.

One of the biggest stories in the NFL as we approach the start of the new league year is the future of Raiders star pass rusher Max Crosby. During a rough stretch in franchise history, the seven-year veteran has been one of the few bright spots as he has earned Pro Bowl honors each of the last five seasons.

Unfortunately for the 28-year-old, his efforts have mostly gone in vain as the Raiders have reached the playoffs only once during his tenure. Additionally, he has had five different head coaches, and it could be six if he remains with the organization in 2026. It’s understandable why Crosby would be frustrated and want out.

Raiders aren’t consulting Crosby during trade talks

However, Crosby has remained loyal to Raiders fans despite consecutive losses. But the team threw him into the deep end when he requested that he miss the final two games of the season as they vie for the No. 1 pick in the NFL Draft. Which he did. Nevertheless, this caused a rift between the team and Crosby and it was expected that he would soon be traded. Or maybe not.

According to a new report from Michael Silver of The Athletic, the Raiders have made the process of moving the fan-favorite more “messy” than necessary despite overwhelming interest.

“The Raiders are not assuring him that he will accept the best offer he gets or asking him for input on where he would like to play,” writes Silver. “Theoretically, this saga could extend to the draft – or even the season.

“If that happens, it would continue a pattern of dysfunction that has plagued the Silver and Black throughout Crosby’s tenure, and which no sane superstar would ever welcome.”

Tom Brady’s servant is causing trouble at the Raiders facility

However, an interesting piece of information in Silver’s report reveals another reason why Crosby has soured on the organization: minority owner Tom Brady’s top in-house minion, Alex Guerrero. The man with the title of “Wellness Coordinator” has surprising influence in the Raiders offices and has reportedly used his unusual power to rub many people in the organization the wrong way.

“Guerrero, who regularly attends practices and meetings, is claimed to have significant organizational power, informing players of impending transactions and even signaling to staff members who do not follow his instructions that their jobs may be in jeopardy,” Silver’s report said.

“Guerrero is believed to have direct access to Brady, who lives in Florida and serves as Fox’s lead NFL analyst, limiting his in-person appearances. Suffice it to say, trust issues are rampant at the Raiders’ training facility in Henderson, Nev.”

Nottingham Forest owner Evangelos Marinakis now faces a formal arbitration challenge after admitting he rejected significantly higher bids for Andre Luiz before completing an internal transfer worth €6.5m (£5.6m). report comes from renaissance In portugal.

10% segment takes legal steps

Estrela da Amadora have 10% of the future transfer fee for Andre Luiz. Therefore, the difference between €20m and €6.5m has major financial consequences.

In a statement, Estrella raised “Serious and legitimate concerns” About the transaction. The club said that if higher offers had indeed existed, selling at a lower amount would have directly reduced the revenue to which they were entitled.

The statement also questioned whether the economic interests of Rio Avenue and its contractual partners are fully protected.

Estrella further argued that multi-club ownership “Under no circumstances can transparency, economic fairness, the protection of third parties involved in the contract or the credibility of national competitions be compromised.”

The club has now confirmed it will seek arbitration. It will also request full access to documents related to the operation. Furthermore, the right to report public facts to the relevant authorities is reserved if further investigation proves necessary.

Multi-club model in the spotlight

Marinakis controls Nottingham Forest, Rio Ave and Olympiacos. In this case, they rejected a Premier League-level bid and instead strengthened the Greek side internally.

The move could make sense for Olympiacos. However, it now places its ownership structure in Portugal under legal scrutiny.

It is unclear whether the arbitration process will have financial consequences. It is confirmed that the €20m Premier League rejected bid has now triggered a formal legal battle.
