executive. Short Circuit’s work for Sheffield United was controversial and played a role in the departure of Chris Wilder at the end of last season due to his reservations about the use of AI in their transfer model, although he has since returned to Bramall Lane in place of Selles. \n\nSheffield United are attempting to offload many of the players signed by Selles, with the loan agreements for Ben Godfrey and Louie Barry set to be terminated and Swedish defender Nils Zatterstrom to be sent out on loan.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNews Updates\nStay ahead with our three daily briefings delivering all the key

central role when the Independent Football Regulator finally opens formal negotiations between the Premier League and the EFL over a much-delayed new financial settlement. Premier League clubs would like the Carabao Cup to move to a single semi-final to ease fixture congestion, which has been magnified by the expansion of the Champions League to encompass two extra midweek dates in January. While the EFL is willing to negotiate, it will not cut its flagship knockout competition without a significant increase in funding from the top flight. \n\nUnder the terms of its current TV contracts the EFL is committed to retaining two-legged semis until 2029, and that three-year buffer could suit the league. The IFR’s first responsibility after being formed last year is to complete a State of the Game review, meaning formal talks over a new deal, which has been on the agenda for six years, are unlikely to begin until 2027, at which point the EFL will be preparing to go to market with a new TV tender. With the clock then ticking on its media rights auction, the EFL will be able to present the Premier League with a deadline for making an increased offer in return for dropping one semi-final from 2029 onwards, particularly as the IFR has been given backstop powers to impose a financial settlement if the two leagues are unable to agree. While it will not say so publicly, the EFL also finds scheduling Carabao Cup ties a logistical challenge, as was shown earlier this week when it announced that next season’s first round will take place before the league has kicked off over the weekend of 7 to 9 August due to the scarcity of midweek dates during the season.","kind":"highlight","is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":false,"is_publish_live":false,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"0","news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":0,"need_auth":false,"code":"91000000","status":"200"},"commentList":[],"isCommentEnd":true,"newsSizeData":{"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"favoriteSize":0,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false},"APP":{"userAgent":"Mozilla/5.0 AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko; compatible; ClaudeBot/1.0; +claudebot@anthropic.com)","isDev":false,"isTTM":true,"tenantId":"TBGLOBAL","deviceId":"web-server-community-laohu8-v3","version":"4.36.0","shortVersion":"4.36.0","platform":"web","vendor":"web","appName":"ttm","isIOS":false,"isAndroid":false,"isTiger":false,"isTHS":false,"isWeiXin":false,"isWeiXinMini":false,"isWeiBo":false,"isQQ":false,"isBaiduSwan":false,"isBaiduBox":false,"isDingTalk":false,"isToutiao":false,"isOnePlus":false,"isHuaWei":false,"isXiaomi":false,"isXiaomiWebView":false,"isOppo":false,"isVivo":false,"isSamsung":false,"isMobile":false},"href":"/m/news/2603149669","isCrawlerRequest":true}
