「古橋亨梧が退団へ！「舞台裏でいくつか動きがあり、それは今後48時間で明らかに…」」　　EFLチャンピオンシップ（イングランド2部）のバーミンガム・シティは、現地7月15日に行われたプレシーズンの親善試合でFW古橋亨梧とDFカイ・ワグナーをメンバーから外した。同クラブのクリス・デイビス監督は試合後、両選手の去就について言及しており、その動向に注目が集まっている。　UKメディア『Football League World』は「カイ・ワグナーと古橋の去就がバーミンガムに突きつける大きな移籍問題」と題し、両選手の状況を伝えた。　同メディアによると、古橋は加入後12ヶ月で手応えを欠いたままクラブを去る可能性が高いという。デイビス監督は両選手が親善試合を欠場した理由について「カイとキョウゴについては、今後数日でよりはっきりするだろう」と説明した。さらに「舞台裏でいくつか動きがあり、それは今後48時間で明らかになる。ただ、今夜は彼らを起用する夜ではなかった」と述べ、退団が近いことを示唆した。　ワグナーに関しては、メジャーリーグサッカーのフィラデルフィア・ユニオンへの復帰が近づいているという。ワグナーは今年1月の移籍市場で、200万ポンド（約4億3,400万円）と報じられる移籍金でバーミンガムへ加入したが、加入からわずか半年での退団となる見込みだ。　29歳のワグナーは、昨2025/26シーズン後半に左サイドバックのレギュラーとして定着し、昨シーズンのチャンピオンシップで16試合に出場し3アシストを記録したと同メディアは伝えている。　バーミンガムは現地8月15日、シェフィールド・ユナイテッドとの試合で今2026/27シーズンの開幕を迎えるが、今後の古橋の動向が注目されている。

What has changed around the ground?But there's far more happening than most of us ever see.This year I sat down with Sutton United COO Tim Allison for our annual walkaround of Gander Green Lane to talk about the projects supporters don't always notice. From the Pavilion Project and stadium improvements to planning for a return to the Football League, Tim explains why the club has to think years ahead, not just about the next Saturday.Then I'm joined by Retail & Events Manager Vicky Garner, whose own Sutton United story started as a supporter before ending up running the club shop and helping make the stadium a seven-day-a-week destination.

How to Lead a Premier League Football Club: Paul Barber OBE on Leadership, Governance, and Growing the Women's Game This week's guest is Paul Barber OBE, Chief Executive and Deputy Chairman of Brighton & Hove Albion and non-executive director at Women in Football. Paul has spent over 30 years in the game, working across the FA, EFL, Premier League clubs, and MLS with Vancouver Whitecaps. In this conversation, he opens up about what it actually takes to lead a modern football club – from managing pressure and making hundreds of decisions a month, to building culture across two sites and being visible to every member of staff. This is a grounded, honest masterclass on leadership, governance, allyship, and long-term thinking in football. What You'll Discover:   Why football clubs are small businesses with huge impact Behind the Premier League spotlight, most clubs run with relatively small off-field teams, working seven days a week across stadium and training ground.  How corporate skills transfer to elite sport Paul's years at Barclays gave him rigorous training in planning, budgeting, management, and people development. Composure, pressure and the 'acting skills' of a Football CEO Results swing, league tables change, pressure intensifies. Paul explains how he's learned to stay calm externally even when he feels exactly like the fans internally — and why consistency, perspective, and responsibility to his staff shape how he shows up on matchday and in crisis. Building Europe's first purpose-built women's stadium Paul unpacks Brighton's bold plan to invest £75–80 million in a purpose-built stadium for their women's team — designed through a female performance lens and a different audience profile. He explains why this is both the right thing for athletes and a long-term business play, and how it can set a standard for other clubs. Humour as a strategic leadership tool (with Jeff Mostyn) Through stories of former AFC Bournemouth chairman Jeff Mostyn — including hiding under a boardroom table and cutting tension in Premier League meetings — Paul shows how humour can defuse conflict, build relationships, and keep people going through intense periods like COVID.  Paul shares three practical tips for building a career in football Paul closes with three simple, powerful principles for anyone who wants to work in football and much more!

Many behavior analysts have experienced the frustration of teaching a skill successfully in one setting only to discover that it doesn't transfer to the situations where it actually matters. In this episode, I sit down with Kristina Montgomery and Emily Beal Wilkinson of Victory Academy to discuss how Essential for Living (EFL) and event-based teaching can help bridge that gap. Kristina and Emily share their professional journeys into behavior analysis and describe how discovering Dr. Patrick McGreevy's Essential for Living framework reshaped their approach to supporting learners with limited skill repertoires. Rather than focusing on isolated skill acquisition, EFL prioritizes the development of functional, meaningful skills that improve quality of life and increase independence. A major focus of our conversation is event-based teaching, an instructional approach that embeds learning opportunities within naturally occurring and highly meaningful activities. From gardening and cooking to operating school cafés and participating in role-playing activities, Kristina and Emily explain how these experiences allow practitioners to teach multiple skills simultaneously while creating natural sources of reinforcement. We also discuss: How Kristina and Emily first discovered Essential for Living and why it resonated with their clinical experiences. Why traditional skill-building approaches sometimes fail to produce meaningful generalization. The concept of "stacking" activities to address multiple goals through a single event. Examples of event-based teaching activities including gardening, cooking, cafés, and community-based experiences. A detailed case study illustrating the transition from VB-MAPP-style programming to contextual, event-based instruction. How literacy, communication, social, and adaptive skills can be embedded within meaningful activities. The role of natural reinforcement in improving learner engagement. Their innovative health and wellness program designed to teach tolerance for medical and dental procedures. How desensitization training can reduce the need for sedation, restraint, and other restrictive practices. The collateral benefits these programs create for families and healthcare providers. Research questions related to contextual instruction, assessment, staff satisfaction, and BCBA training. Advice for newly certified behavior analysts on professional development and values-based practice. This episode will be especially valuable for behavior analysts, special educators, and anyone supporting individuals with significant support needs who are looking for practical ways to make instruction more meaningful, functional, and socially significant.

It's the final Total Saints Podcast of the season, and unfortunately, there is still only one place to start: the fallout from Southampton's failed Spygate appeal.Martin is joined by Steve Grant, Glen de la Cour and George Rees-Julian to look back on another extraordinary few days at Saints, following the dismissal of the club's appeal against the EFL sanctions and the publication of the Independent Disciplinary Commission's written reasons. The panel discuss the seriousness of the findings, the pressure placed on junior members of staff, the club's handling of the situation, the ongoing FA investigation and the deafening silence from those in positions of leadership.There is also a lengthy discussion about Tonda Eckert's future, whether there is any realistic way back for him, and what Southampton now need to do to begin repairing the damage done to supporters, players, staff, commercial partners and the wider reputation of the club.Attention then turns to the summer ahead. With Saints now preparing for another season in the Championship, the panel look at which players are likely to stay or go, the uncertainty around Daniel Peretz, Aaron Ramsdale and the goalkeeper position, the sellable assets in midfield, and the decisions facing the club over players such as James Bree and Ross Stewart.The team also reflect briefly on Hull City's play-off final win over Middlesbrough, the likely needle when Saints and Boro meet again next season, and what the result said about the play-offs Saints were removed from.There is also time for the final TSP admin of the season, including the Prediction League winners, the signed Atlanta Primus shirt giveaway, Patreon-exclusive merch updates, thanks to our sponsors Steam Town Brewery and Paul Castle Associates, and a farewell to George Rees-Julian as he makes his final TSP appearance before leaving The Echo.
