MIKE ASHLEY is taking Newcastle United, the club he used to own, to the league regulator in a major, bitter row over football shirts.

Newcastle United recently switched its kit supplier from Castore to Adidas and, as part of the deal, has agreed exclusivity to only sell football shirts through the club’s store and arch-rivals JD Sports.

1

The Sports Direct magnate has now filed a claim with the Competition Appeals Tribunal.

Sports Direct alleges in its claim that: “The club has abused its dominant position in the market for the wholesale supply of Newcastle United replica kits in the United Kingdom [in breach of competition law] by refusing to supply Sports Direct with the Club’s replica kit for the 2024/25 season and by granting JD Sports, another British sports retailer, exclusive rights as a third party seller of the Club’s replica kit’.

A source close to Ashley claimed that “football fans will ultimately suffer from higher prices”.

It is understood Sports Direct still sold 50,000 Newcastle United shirts despite outrage from Magpies fans over its ownership.

Ashley owned Newcastle between 2007 and 2021.

The 59-year-old became an unpopular figure in the Toon and was eventually sold to the Saudi Arabia Public Investment Fund.

The £300m deal saw the Saudi Public Investment Fund take 80 per cent of the shares, while billionaire Reuben brothers and financier Amanda Staveley each got 10 per cent.

Ashley made a profit of £195 million from the sale of the club, his Mash Holdings accounts show.

Ashley previously blew the whistle on price fixing on football shirts in 2004, involving his arch-rivals Dave Whelan and JJB Sports.

Two years after Ashley left, Newcastle qualified for the Champions League for the first time in twenty years.

However, they dropped out of the competition in the group stage.

A CADBURY ‘graveyard’ has been unveiled full of all their famous ax treats – what would you bring back?

The delicious chocolate collection offers fans the chance to step back in time and be reunited with their retro favorites.

Cadbury has been impressing chocolate lovers for two centuries, but not all of their products are still on the shelves.

Many fans have been saddened by the cancellations over the years, but now they can relive all their former joys.

The company displays a wealth of ax sticks at their Bournville headquarters, from Cadbury Pineapple to Flake Snow.

In their classic range, flavors include Ginger, Turkish Delight, Old Jamaican rum and Golden Crisp with honeycomb.

Other throwbacks included Cadbury’s Pineapple, which is actually still available online, Almond Dessert, Marzipan Tray, Astros and Spira bars.

The beloved Spira bar was discontinued in 2005 and fans tried to bring it back in 2020, but were unsuccessful.

More retro choices included Coffee Creme, Royal Mint and Super Mousse.

In the early 2000s, Cadbury released a chocolate collection called Wicked, in sexier packaging, but it didn’t stick around for long.

Fans were shocked to hear that an Easter favorite had been taken off the production line.

The nostalgic Egg ‘n’ Spoons treat consisted of four chocolate eggs filled with vanilla or chocolate mousse and even a special Oreo variety.

Modelez-owned Cadbury broke the sad news last year, but some chocolate lovers only heard about it recently.

Some devastated chocoholics called the abolition a “crime”.

One posted: “Petition to get CadburyUK to bring back eggs and spoons.”

“My villain origin story will be the fact that Cadbury has discontinued their egg n’ spoon,” wrote another.

Moreover, fans were also disappointed after the chocolate giant confirmed once again that their “best” bar will not be returning.

The Cadbury Dairy Milk Toffee Popcorn hit shelves alongside Marvelous Creations in 2012, but people were sad that only the former still exists

People were sad to hear that the limited edition was being discontinued.

One wrote: “Cadbury released all of these in 2012, the only one left to buy is the top one – the worst.

“The best was clearly Toffee Popcorn.”

Another user commented on the post: “Toffee Popcorn was the best, I agree.”

Others were upset to discover that a “great” flavor had been added to the chop.

Shoppers wailed “whaaat why!” after noticing that Dairy Milk Marvelous Mix-ups with Oreo have been pulled from the shelves.

And just a few months ago, the chocolatier confirmed it had axed Peanut Caramel Crisp Bars.

The revelation angered customers, with one furious: “Cadbury’s Peanut Caramel Crisp is the best chocolate bar they’ve made in years.”

But the company continues to deliver the country’s bestsellers.

As Cadbury celebrated its bicentenary, The Sun revealed some of the rather sweet secrets from inside the brand.

Dairy Milk, launched in June 1905, remains Cadbury’s bestseller.

However, it has been revealed that Dairy Milk Oreo, which hit shelves in 2012, is “not far behind” when it comes to variants of the much-loved brand.

There’s even a team of ‘supertasters’ in Reading, Berks, who help Cadbury inventors come up with their wonderful new creations.

The group consists of seven to eight people “with very strong taste buds” who have been carefully selected for the position.

MANCHESTER UNITED are willing to sell Mason Greenwood but Barcelona are not interested in a deal, transfer reports say.

Greenwood has been on loan to Getafe this season and has been in good form with eight goals in 27 games.

2

His performances attracted interest from the likes of Barca, who have been linked with a summer swoop for the ex-England international.

According to Fabrizio Romano for Caught offsideUnited’s directors and Barça chief Deco did meet for talks.

But it is claimed the Spanish giants have no plans for Greenwood at the moment.

However, United are said to be willing to let Greenwood go for good if the right offer is made.

And the club is actively looking for ways to relieve the attacker.

A police investigation into 22-year-old Greenwood was launched in January 2022.

But the charges of attempted rape, assault and controlling and coercive behavior were later dropped.

United still made the decision to send the striker on loan to Spain, although new owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe controversially left the door open for a return.

He said in February: “We will make a decision. I don’t know if he (Greenwood) could have a future.

“All I can do is talk about the principle of how we will approach such decisions.

“Is he the right type of footballer? Are we happy with that? Is he a good person or not?

“He (Greenwood) is a Manchester United footballer and we are responsible for the football.

“So the answer is that it’s pretty clear that we have to make a decision.

“No decision has been made. He is of course on loan, but he is not the only one.

“We have one or two footballers that we have to deal with and make a decision on, so we will do that.

“The process will be: understand the facts, not the hype and then try to come to a fair decision based on values ​​– which basically comes down to whether he is a good guy or not.

“Could he play well for Manchester United and would we feel comfortable with that and the fans would feel comfortable with that?

“I can talk about the principle. This principle is the most important because we will have to deal with other issues in the future.

“You are dealing with young people who have not always been raised in the best circumstances, who have a lot of money and do not always receive the guidance they should receive.

“What we need to do when dealing with these kinds of problems is to understand the real effects, not the hype.

“Then we have to make a fair decision in the light of the club’s values. That’s what we have to do and that’s how we deal with it.”

Andy Cohen swears the last half of Vanderpump Rules season 11 is completely binge-worthy.

“Y’all, I just landed in Los Angeles,” Cohen said via Instagram Story on Friday, March 15. Vanderpump Rules meeting. I just finished watching the last seven episodes of the season. I can’t believe how good it was. And I know you guys might be like, “Oh, he’s just hyping his stuff,” whatever. It’s not my show. I’m not a producer of it. That’s why I didn’t know what was happening, I was just watching it as a viewer. It’s so good.”

He continued: “It’s taking off in a big way. Kudos to the brilliant team, and what a final. And what a reunion it will be. I’m so excited. Again, not my show, this is not a paid advertisement. No one asked me to post this message. It’s really good.”

Originally shared by Cohen via his Instagram Story, the video was reposted X (formerly Twitter) Friday, prompting a response from Tom Schwartz. “The second half is so solid,” he replied in a follow-up tweet, which confirms Cohen’s excitement. “One of my favorite seasons so far. Except I cringed at myself.”

The 2nd half is so solid one of my favorite seasons so far. Except I’m cringing at myself

— tom schwartz (@twschwa) March 15, 2024

Cohen then discussed the remaining episodes of season 11, as well as the reunion, on the Monday, March 18, episode of SiriusXM’s Andy Cohen live.

“I’ve seen seven episodes of Vanderpump Rules within 24 hours. The other seven in the season,” Cohen told co-host Johannes Heuvel. “I think people felt like it wasn’t right. I think people were super interested at first and then they were like, “Oh, I don’t know. I don’t want to talk about this. I don’t know if I want this redemption thing. I don’t know how I feel about it.’ It’s really good.”

Cohen explained both Lala Kent And Scheana Shay‘s husband, Brock Daviesemerge as the “voice[s] of reason” for this season of Vanderpump Rules. “The other one I’m excited to watch and who I think is emerging as a real potential player in this universe is Ally Lewber, James Kennedy’s girlfriend,” Cohen added.

“Nothing was as heated as last year, but many of the topics were incredibly intense and exciting,” he said. “They were all discussed calmly, which I really appreciated. Obviously it wasn’t like there were flare-ups and shouting, but it wasn’t in that space, especially considering last year.”

It may be hard to beat season 10’s record-breaking ratings in the wake of Tom Sandoval And Rachel ‘Raquel’ Leviss‘ cheating scandal, which rocked the Bravo landscape the moment the news broke. We weekly confirmed in March 2023 that Sandoval and Ariana Madix had ended their nearly decade-long relationship due to his infidelity.

Thanks to the viewership generated by “Scandoval,” Season 10 broke viewership records for Bravo and Peacock, averaging 11.4 million viewers in June 2023. Variety reported at the time. The first reunion episode alone reached 4.6 million viewers, making it not only the most watched episode Vanderpomp episode of all time, but the most watched episode of any Bravo series in the past decade.

By comparison, the season 11 premiere episode, “Notes on a Scandal,” drew a large audience of 3.2 million viewers per year. The Hollywood Reporter.

The overall success of season 10 led to significant paydays for several cast members, with some even negotiating with Bravo for higher salaries. Madix, for her part, reportedly made more than $1 million in sponsorship deals after Scandoval. She also joined season 32 of Dancing with the stars and currently stars as Roxie Hart on Broadway’s Chicago.

Sandoval previously accused some of his colleagues of profiting from the scandal. “Fellow cast members ask me all these questions, but you don’t want to know because you care about Ariana,” Sandoval said on an April 2023 episode of the “Howie Mandel Does Stuff” podcast. “You want to know so you have more content for your podcast. It’s f-king disgusting to me. It’s so dirty. You’re not someone who cares about Ariana. You are doing this for your own personal gain.”

Bravo recently confirmed the seating charts for the Season 11 reunion, which will feature Cohen, Shay, Davies, Madix, Sandoval and Schwartz, as well as Lisa Vanderpump, Katie MaloneyAnd James Kennedy. Newcomers Jo Wenberg And Ally Lewber will also appear.

The Princess of Wales was reportedly spotted looking ‘happy, healthy and relaxed’ on a visit to a local farm shop over the weekend, marking the first time she has been seen out and about since undergoing planned abdominal surgery.

Kate and William were reportedly seen at one of their favourite spots, around a mile from their Adelaide Cottage, in Windsor on Saturday after having watched their three children – George, 10, Charlotte, eight, and Louis, five – take part in sports.

The sighting at The Windsor Farm Shop will provide a much needed boost to the British public who have been growing more concerned about the Princess’ health in the midst of a tsunami of speculation over her unknown condition.

A witness who saw the couple told The Sun last night: ‘After all the rumours that had been going round I was stunned to see them there. Kate was out shopping with William and she looked happy and she looked well.

‘The kids weren’t with them but it’s such a good sign she was healthy enough to pop down to the shops.’

While no pictures were taken of the couple – adhering to their request for privacy as Kate recovers – their alleged appearance is an encouraging sign that she is taking her first steps towards a return to official royal engagements. 

The Princess, who made her last public engagement at Sandringham on Christmas Day, is expected to return to public duty after April 17, when her children start back at Lambrook School, near Ascot, following the Easter Holidays.

Yet there is suggestion that Kate could now make an earlier return and may even be seen walking into the annual Easter Matins service at St George’s Chapel on the Windsor estate. 

According to the Telegraph the Princess has not ruled out making a return to the public eye on Easter Sunday and could join her family for the traditional walk about, which would be photographed. 

A palace source told the paper there had been ‘no confirmation either way’ adding that anything else was speculation.

The reports of an early return and her Windsor sighting come just a few days after the Princess was pictured in the back of a car alongside Prince William as they left Windsor Castle last Monday. 

The Prince of Wales was on his way to Westminster Abbey for the annual Commonwealth Day service while MailOnline understands Kate was headed to a ‘private appointment’.  

In recent weeks wild rumours – fuelled by social media and the foreign press – have speculated over the reason why Kate has not been seen, despite the Kensington Palace’s laying out her recovery timeline.

‘Katespiracies’ online have ranged from claims she was recovering from a ‘Brazilian bum lift’ or in a coma, a theory sparked by a journalist on Spanish television. 

Some joked she was a contestant on The Masked Singer television show – or may have even been bumped from the Royal Family.

Other trolls and conspiracy theorists have used her absence and the lawlessness of social media to spread deeply sinister and highly libellous claims. Even Kim Kardashian has wade in posting selfies captured: ‘On my way to go find Kate.’

The absurd claims only intensified when the Princess took the blame for the family photograph released by Kensington Palace on Mother’s Day, which was ‘killed’ by six of the world’s top picture agencies over concern that it had been ‘manipulated’.

It came after it was pointed out that part of Princess Charlotte‘s sleeve and the misaligned edge of her skirt were missing, with other speculation including the positioning of Kate’s zip. 

In addition to the numerous imperfections in the image, viewers also spotted that Kate appeared to not be wearing her wedding ring, which sparked multiple unfounded theories online about the state of her marriage. 

The furor on social media led the Princess to make a personal apology on X, writing ‘Like many amateur photographers, I do occasionally experiment with editing.’ 

It is understood that Kate had only intended to ‘bring a bit of joy’ and release a reassuring image to thank the public for their ongoing support, and that she and William are both ‘shaken and devastated’ at the speculation about their marriage. 

William is said to have taken the picture in a 40-minute window on a £2,900 Canon camera on Friday before the Princess edited it twice in Photoshop to ‘make it the best it can be’. 

Despite calls for the original image to be published, Kensington Palace insisted it would not be reissuing the unedited photograph of Kate and her children. 

One insider said: ‘I worry about all this attention on Catherine. She did not look happy at all in the car on Monday.’

Over the weekend, a source close to the Wales’ said that the couple will disclose more information about Kate’s illness and recovery in due course. 

‘In Kate’s case, there is almost nobody else in the world whose face, body, clothes are more judged than hers,’ the insider told The Sunday Times. 

‘What is happening is exactly what they said would happen — she would spend two weeks in hospital and be back after Easter. So what if they haven’t pushed her out there to wave from the back of a car? She is not a show pony.’  

A friend said the Waleses are fully aware about the circulating rumours but claimed: ‘They’re not like [Prince] Harry, obsessing and scrolling through Twitter, but they know it has broken through. 

‘They follow the news and see the BBC breaking news alerts.’

The insider added that the speculation around the couple’s marriage is ‘just cruel’, especially while William, Kate and their children are ‘going through the hardest time they’ve had to go through as a family’.

Kate was admitted to the London Clinic – the private hospital where the King underwent treatment for an enlarged prostate – for planned abdominal surgery.

She left the hospital on January 29 – almost two weeks later – and returned to Adelaide Cottage in Windsor.

Speculation grew online as she recuperated in Windsor which was only stoked further when William pulled out of a memorial service for his late godfather, King Constantine of Greece, for an unexplained ‘personal matter’. 

The Ministry of Defence also came under fire after it suggested that Kate would be attending the Trooping the Colour event in June before her appearance was quickly stripped from the Army’s official website.  

Details of her condition have not been revealed but Kensington Palace previously said it was not cancer-related and that the Princess wished her personal medical information to remain private.

Another friend said: ‘She and William are at their most open when out interacting with the public. I can see a world in which the Princess might discuss her recovery out on engagements.

‘If she was going to do it, that’s how she would do it. They appreciate the public’s love and affection for their children and know there is a public appetite to see them on their birthdays.’

Kensington Palace has maintained that Kate is ‘doing well’ and will only provide significant updates.

The couple are refusing to publish any details until they feel ready, with a friend adding: ‘They will want to be clear and more open, but they’ll do it when they feel ready. 

‘I would expect that to be her instinct and it will be her call. They are not going to be rushed.’ 

Sources told the Mail that that there is no pressure or hurry on her to do so and her focus remains on ‘what is important’ – her recovery and her three children. 

Despite this tumultuous few weeks for the Royal Family, it is expected that William and Kate will still uphold the tradition of releasing a new photograph to mark their children’s birthdays, the next being Prince Louis on April 23.

‘They appreciate the public’s love and affection for their children and know there is a public appetite to see them on their birthdays,’ an aide told the Times.

While there has been no official confirmation that Kate will be well enough to attend Trooping the Colour in June, the King, who is suffering from cancer, is determined to attend his official birthday celebrations.

The Mail revealed last night that aides are already exploring ways that Charles will be able to part within the constraints of his ongoing cancer treatment. 

This could include watching the military spectacular from a podium, instead on horseback as usual, and being driven to Buckingham Palace, like his late mother did.

A firm decision will be made at the time and will be dependent on medical advice. The event will take place on June 15 and the Mail understands the planning is a source for optimism. 

‘There are a number of key events His Majesty would love to attend coming up in the diary and this is at the top of the list,’ a source said. 

Coronation Street has cast Absolutely Fabulous actress Helen Lederer in a guest role as the love interest of the show’s oldest character, Ken Barlow.

Known as once the greatest lothario (Bill Roache) and desperate to prove he can still conquer the ladies at the age of 91, Ken takes up speed dating.

After being single for almost a decade following the death of his beloved wife Deirdre in 2015, he catches the eye of fellow dater Elspeth (played by comedian Helen, 69).

Ken attends the speed dating event with ex-son-in-law Steve McDonald (Simon Gregson) and leaves the taxi company owner devastated when, despite his advanced age, he manages to outdo him in the romance department.

Speaking about the role, Helen, who will be released on Wednesday, March 27, described her character as ‘progressive and sassy’.

She also admitted that one of the biggest benefits of playing the role was the opportunity to act opposite Bill, who has appeared on the soap since the first episode in 1960.

Saying: ‘I had met him once before when I was sitting next to him at an event and I thought what a lovely man he was and so handsome. So it was a joy for me to be offered this short role.”

And despite only appearing briefly, Helen teased that Ken had taken Elspeth’s number during their scenes and that she could very well return to the soap if he called.

As well as playing Catriona in Ab Fab, the actress has also appeared in Hollyoaks, Celebrity Big Brother and Agatha Christie’s Marple.

It comes after the actor was given a three-month deadline to pay off his huge tax debt, making ‘property sales’ possible on Monday.

William reportedly earns £250,000 a year playing Ken Barlow in the long-running soap, but has racked up half a million in debt to the tax authorities.

He struck a deal to settle the £588,015.18 bill in 2018, but according to reports last month he has only paid £41,666.65 so far.

Bill wants to sell some property to pay off debts The sun reported in February that a potential buyer had pulled out of a deal.

The High Court has now granted him a twelve-week extension to ‘enable the sale of property’.

Bill failed to appear at a specialist hearing, where HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) lawyers said the amount the actor owes – which was not disclosed in court – has been reduced as a result of payments made.

Jacquille Jarrett, for HMRC, said Bill had requested a twelve-week adjournment, which was unopposed, to ‘allow the sale of property’.

Retired Insolvency and Companies Court judge Stephen Baister approved the adjournment and said Bill’s case will return in June.

“Wonderful,” Dr Baister said at the end of the hearing, which lasted less than a minute, at the High Court in London.

Bill is best known for his portrayal of Ken Barlow in the ITV soap for more than 60 years after making his debut in the first episode in 1960.

He has been married three times during his sex decades on the show, with Deirdre (Anne Kirbride) being the most memorable.

They first married in 1981 and their relationship was rocky, to say the least.

Shortly after first tying the knot, Deirdre had an affair with Mike Baldwin (played by Johnny Briggs) after finding Ken boring.

And although the relationship miraculously survived, it soon came to a devastating end when Ken had an affair with his secretary Wendy Cozier (Roberta Kerr) in 1989.

They divorced in the 1980s but remarried in 2005, which ended tragically after her off-screen death in 2015, in the wake of actress Anne Kirkbride’s death.

Before Deirdre, Ken was briefly married to Janet (Judith Barker) in 1973.

After the death of his first wife, Ken married Janet shortly thereafter so that his twins would have a loving mother.

But the pair were often at odds, with Janet not keen on having the children at home and also disappointed by Ken’s lack of ambition.

In 1977, Janet showed up on Ken’s doorstep and asked him to take her back, but he refused, leading to her committing suicide.

Valerie (Anne Reid) was Ken’s first wife and mother of Peter (Chris Gascoyne) and Susan (Joanna Foster).

They married in 1962 and were in love until her devastating accidental death in 1971.

Ken then agreed to teach in Jamaica and the family prepared to emigrate.

While getting ready for her own going away party, Valerie was electrified by a faulty hairdryer.

Bill, who holds the Guinness World Record for the world’s longest-serving TV soap star, was inducted into the Queen’s New Year Honors list in December 2021 for his services to drama and charity.
