JACKED-UP BILLS THREAT
By KATE FERGUSON
Deputy Political Editor
COUNCIL tax bills could
soar because of PM Boris
Johnson’s manifesto-busting
National Insurance hike to
fund social care, Whitehall
chiefs admitted last night.
Mandarins said government
departments will get a whop-
ping £2billion to cover the cost
of the tax rise for “directly
employed” staff like teachers.
But councils that outsource a lot
of services and staff — such as bin-
men and traffic wardens — could be
left with a massive bill for National
Insurance contributions (NIC).
Cash-strapped authorities are likely
to whack up council tax to cover the
cost, civil servant chiefs warned.
Cat Little, who oversees public
spending at the Treasury, told the
Public Accounts Committee of MPs
she “cannot commit” to compensa-
tion for outsourced workers.
Tory MP Geoffrey Clifton-Brown
warned this was likely to mean
higher council tax bills next year.
He said: “A waste collection com-
pany providing 100 per cent of their
service to the local authority — will
they or will they not have all their
NICs reimbursed?
“If they don’t, the cost goes up for
local authorities and it will then
have to go on to council tax payers.”
Ms Little said the Treasury will
“look at the consequences” of the
tax rise for councils before the
Budget next month.
But angry MPs said it would be
wrong for Brits to be clobbered by a
double whammy of higher council
tax and National Insurance bills.
‘2HRS EXTRA’
COVERS CUTS
DEFIANT benefits boss Therese Coffey last
night told claimants to work extra hours to
make up for next month’s removal of a
£20-a-week Covid boost to Universal Credit.
The Work and Pensions Secretary, left,
said: “I’m conscious that’s about
work
two hours’ extra work.”
Labour called her com-
ments “an insult” to work-
ers, while charities argued
tapered payments meant it
would take nine extra hours
to make the £20 back.
NEIL RESIGNS
AT GB NEWS
ANDREW Neil has stepped down as
chairman of GB News.
The broadcaster, 72, has been absent
since a fortnight after the channel’s June
launch. He will still appear as a
regular guest commentator.
Neil, left,
left said: “I’m sorry to
go but I have concluded it’s

ments on a number of fronts.”

and watch it whenever it’s on so
I think it’s become the sound-

It is a move supported by

“This is extremely unhelpful and we’d

“The question of whether or not to

been thoroughly considered and the
decision on whether or not to accept
this offer is a matter for families.”
Office for National Statistics data

a study has found.
High levels of the four

Experts said troubles in
life could cause the

Each doubling was
linked with a 21 to 31 per

Jabs miracle
THE power of two Covid jabs to save lives
is both staggering and indisputable — and
ought to make even the maddest anti-

We now know that of the 51,281 people
who died from Covid in England in the
first six months of the year only 59 were
double-jabbed and neither old nor sick.

had one jab or none.

The complicated system saw

took place last week
— without his band-
mates present.
Sadly, Sir Mick Jagger,
78, Keith Richards, 77,
and Ronnie Wood, 74,
were not able to attend
the small private cere-
mony in Devon.
Because of Covid restric-
tions, they were forced to
stay in Boston where they
have been rehearsing for the
Stones’ rescheduled US tour.
It starts on September 26
in St. Louis, Missouri.
Respecting the wishes of
his family, Watts’ secret
funeral took place with the
minimum fuss, in keeping
with the 80-year-old drum-
mer’s character.

It was announced on

who joined the rock legends
in 1963, would be absent
from the tour.
Over the past couple of
weeks, the rest of the band
have been rehearsing in the
States with stand-in Steve
Jordan, 64, who received the
blessing of Watts.
In a statement, Watts had
said: “After all the disap-

tour caused by Covid, I
really don’t want the many
Stones fans in the States to
have another postponement
or cancellation.
“I have therefore asked my
great friend Steve Jordan to
stand in for me.”
Watts, who died on August
24, was married to his
beloved wife Shirley for 57
years right up until his
granddaughter, Charlotte, 24.
Tributes poured in from
around the world. Jagger
shared a photograph on

their peers, as Sky Sports pundit
Jamie Redknapp tells the
documentary.
In 1998 the Liverpool player
married Louise Nurding, who was
in girl group Eternal and had been
named FHM’s Sexiest Woman in
the World. The couple went on to
have two sons, but they separated
in 2017.
‘Football or showbiz’
Redknapp said: “As the Premier
League started to really transform
the game I was 19, 20 years of age.
I was so wide-eyed and wanted to
be a part of it — I enjoyed the
razzmatazz, if you like.
“Beckham was starting to come
on the scene with a pop star
people judging you wondering,
‘What’s first — football or showbiz?
What do you want to be more?’”
It was a theory shared by
Ferguson, who said of Beckham in
2007: “He was never a problem
until he got married. Getting
married into that entertainment
scene was a difficult thing — from
that moment, his life was never
going to be the same.
“He is such a big celebrity,
football is only a small part.”
The huge wages of top footballers
meant they could live out their
most hedonistic fantasies.
When the Premier League
launched in 1992, the players
earned around £1,700 a week on
average, but by the end of the
Les Ferdinand said: “With the
introduction of the Premier League
footballers became rock stars
overnight.
“What rock stars were, footballers
became — and most of us tried to
live up to that lifestyle.”
But he says there were many
young men who struggled with the
pressures of the game and its
subsequent fame, by turning to
gambling, sex and drugs as a crutch.
Ferdinand added: “Now we talk
about mental health issues but back
in 1995 or 1996, because you’re a
footballer, it is deemed you should
just get on with it.”
Arsenal captain Tony Adams
developed an addiction to alcohol
that saw him sentenced to four
Manchester United and Newcastle
United player Keith Gillespie
developed gambling addictions that
saw them lose tens of thousands of
pounds a day.
But on the pitch, Beckham insists
Gillespie’s skills belied the turmoil
he was dealing with behind the
scenes. He said: “I was nowhere
near as fast as Keith. He was one
of the ones that I knew best out of
most of the lads, really.
“Obviously, him being from
Ireland and me being from London
there was a bond there because we
both missed home and we were
both right wingers.”
Others developed inflated egos,
including Liverpool goalkeeper
David James, whose good looks saw
glossy men’s magazines. He insists
money was at the root of it all.
The sports pundit said: “This isn’t
a gradual thing, you earn nothing
and then all of a sudden you’re just
given loads.
“There are stories that if I lost a
game I’d get a new car, which was
rubbish. I’d get a new watch. Yes, I
did change and I didn’t change into
a particularly nice person with it.”
Despite the rollercoaster ride,
many of the players experienced off
the pitch, they loved the game and
the opportunities it brought.
David said: “I look back at my
time in the Premier League and
know that was the moment it made
me.”

there was nothing SARAH
HARDING wanted more
than to see the group
back on stage before her
tragic death this month.
And in a touching move that
would help cement her legacy
as one of her generation’s
favourite pop stars, I’m told
plans are under way for the
remaining members to reunite
at a concert in her honour.
Discussions for a comeback to
mark the group’s 20th anniversary
stalled when Sarah’s devastating
diagnosis meant she had to
commit fully to treatment.
Now pop insiders say there are
talks behind the scenes for a
part by THE WANTED star TOM
PARKER’s Stand Up To Cancer gig
— which they hope will raise money
for vital causes.
A music source tells me: “It’s
bittersweet, of course. They’ve all
been through the most devastating
news and it’s beyond tragic. But
when the time is right they’d love
to see a concert in Sarah’s memory.
“It would be hugely emotional for
everyone involved, but it feels like
a wonderful thing to do after
everyone had hoped they might be
able to do it together.
“They loved her energy and her
zest for everything, so it would
have to be done in that spirit. And
if it could raise some money for
charity too, then even better.”
Sarah was just 39 when she sadly
died from breast cancer just over a
week ago, prompting an outpouring
of grief from the world of pop and
moving tributes from her band-

Dr Luke Helmer of the
Blue Marine Foundation,
which is working with
Wightlink on the project
in the Lymington River,
Hants, said: “Oyster reefs
enhance fish production
and provide habitats.”
The company has also
introduced a colony of
300 oysters at its ferry
terminal in Lymington.

PARALYSED AS ‘JOKE’
A DRIVER paralysed a pal by running
him over in a “joke” that went wrong.
Taha Biston drove at the man to give
him a scare as he crossed the road.
But he lost control of his BMW and
smashed into the friend, catapulting
him into the air. The victim, 27, has
been left a quadriplegic, with no move-
ment in the lower half of his body.
He told Peterborough crown court: “He
said he drove at me for a joke, but it’s
no joke. I am the one who is here with
no future. I have zero hope.”
In April, Biston, 44, admitted causing
serious injury by dangerous driving
and has now been jailed for 22 months.

Three weeks later a
reporter and photogra-
pher covering the
migrant crisis for The
Times snapped a dinghy-
full of migrants apparently
lost mid-English Channel.
The boat, with around 20 on
board including two children, was
zigzagging through the waves as
hulking tankers and ferries passed
dangerously close.
The migrants, who were from Syria
and Iran, shouted to the journalists,
asking the way to Britain.
Beneath the men sitting on the
sides of the distinctive grey dinghy
was the boat company name stamp:
MaRe Boote.
After contacting company boss
Marvin Reuter again, he agreed to
talk and answer queries by email.
German police have told him that
in the last two years at least 24 of

smugglers.

KA spokesperson Nina Jürgens
The Sun: “In principle, the pur-
se of boats is not a punishable
nce in Germany.
Under German law, smuggling out-
side the EU is not punishable. Since
the UK has left the EU, this now also
applies to the UK.”
Germany is not only a source of
Channel dinghies but also a way
station for migrants themselves.
One law enforcement official told
The Sun that 60 per cent of migrants
only step foot on French soil shortly
before attempting the Channel
crossing.
Decoys to lure cops
After crossing the EU’s eastern bor-
der, often via Turkey, the migrant
trail for many leads through Germany
then Belgium or the Netherlands to
the shores of the English Channel.
They then fan out across the 125-
mile stretch of rugged French coast
of sand dunes, marshland and thick
scrub between Dieppe and Dunkirk.
Organised crime gangs then co-
ordinate simultaneous launches up
and down the coast.
They also use decoy groups of
migrants to visit beaches to lure in
French police and then launch
dinghies elsewhere.
Smugglers have recently begun
sending out boats spread throughout
the day to bamboozle cops’ shift
patterns, The Sun can reveal.
Boats were once launched after
midnight in a five-hour window. Now
the launches continue until 11am —
covering three different police shifts
rather than the previous one shift.
The National Crime Agency (NCA)
— Britain’s equivalent of the BKA —
says it is working closely with its
European counterparts to take out the
smuggling gangs.
In June the NCA — through its
Project Invigor organised immigration
crime task force — helped jail three

leaders of a people-smuggling gang in
Belgium. Police there stopped a stolen
German vehicle near the French
border and found it to contain a
dinghy, an outboard engine, 11 life
jackets and three jerry cans of petrol.
NCA deputy director Andrea Wilson
says her officers have made more
than 98 arrests relating to the orga-
nised immigration threat in the first
six months of this year.
The crime fighter said: “We work
very closely with our German coun-
terparts to tackle the threat.
“We look at investigations where we
may have an opportunity to disrupt
that boat supply.
“But we shouldn’t forget buying a
boat isn’t a criminal offence so there
are some challenges in terms of what
we can and can’t do.”

director said that no one group has
cornered the cross-Channel smuggling
market. The investigator added: “There
is no nationality that is dominant.
“We see a whole variety of nation-
alities arriving on the boats — Eritre-
ans, Vietnamese, Albanians, Iranians,
Iraqi Kurds. And that applies to
organised crime groups behind it.”
Back in Dover the dinghy graveyard
is overflowing.
More than 14,000 migrants have
crossed the Channel since January,
compared with 8,420 for the whole of
last year.
Officials appear to have opened a
second storage area to cope with the
influx of discarded craft at the Home
Office complex.
A stark testament to the sinister
efficiency of the people smugglers.

FOXTROT . . Anton on Strictly
ANTON’S
BOTOX IS
OVERDU
NOW he’s a fully-fledged TV
talent show judge, ANTON DU
BEKE is starting to act like
one off screen.
The Strictly star, who is
filling in once again for
BRUNO TONIOLI for the
upcoming series, has
revealed he’s planning a visit
to a cosmetic surgeon to
reduce his wrinkles.
And he’s also considering
work on his locks – but not the
colour, as he’s finally
embracing being a silver fox.
Speaking to Radio Times,
Anton said: “I had a hair
transplant four years ago
when I was going thin on top.
“I might have another next
year, and a bit of Botox in my
forehead.
“It was a massive deal to let
my hair go grey last year.
“I had dyed it since I was 18.
Last year, I realised I looked
like a Lego man, as if
someone had just popped
something on my head.”

Amanda, a Met police
officer, explained how she felt
during the first episode, which
airs next Tuesday at 8pm on
Channel 4, saying: “Walking
into the tent
for the first
time was very
surreal. It was
just like one of
my dreams. I

Among those joining
Amanda will be 19-year-old

born engineer Giuseppe, who
refuses to buy his kids mass-
made sweets, preferring to
make them himself, a German
IT expert called Jurgen and
retired nurse Maggie.

What this drama did was
unpick the shambles that the
Stephen Lawrence case had
become and heighten our
understanding of his family’s
plight. But at the same time,
you’re left bewildered as to why
DCI Driscoll wasn’t allowed to
track down the rest of
Stephen’s killers.
This is an important and
well-made drama which
deserves a sequel where we
finally see the rest of Stephen’s

SPICE GIRLS: HOW GIRL POWER
CHANGED BRITAIN, C4, 9pm: Can you
possibly imagine a world without the
Spice Girls?
Incredibly, it’s 25 years since Posh,
Ginger, Baby, Sporty and Scary first
crashed into our lives, and the pop charts,
with their debut single Wannabe.
Within the space of just a few month
s, the girls were the biggest thing since
sliced bread.
Within three years, they were the best-
selling girl group of all time.
Using interviews, archive footage and
loads of their songs, this three-part series
explains how the Spice Girls took over the
world.
Tonight’s episode looks at the group’s
formation in 1994 and gradual rise to
superstardom.

DON’T HELP
Dear Deidre
I HAVE to sneak bad food into the house
or my mum will have a go at me.
I’m 22, 5ft 4in and I weigh 15st. I am in
the obese category and couldn’t stop
eating in lockdown. I meant to exercise at
home but failed miserably.
I tried running the other day and put on
some shorts but they were too small. I
asked Mum whether she’d recommend a
different brand, as she’s 45 and “the
cycling queen”. She said: “Keep running
as you’re doing and you’ll soon fit into
them.” I know I’m overweight but her
comments get me down.
She has been known to take my plate
away from me before I’ve finished during
family meals, and held a plate of sausage
rolls above my head at parties, saying:
“Not for you!”
How can I tell her I’m an adult and can
make my own choices – and how much
she hurts my feelings?
0 DEIDRE SAYS: Starting any
conversation with “I” rather than
“You” – such as, “I feel upset that” or,
“I feel disappointed that” – shows you
are owning those emotions rather than
blaming your mum.
Explain that you know she is worried
about you but suggest that she
supports you by exercising with you. Or
perhaps she will encourage you to
cycle with her? Actions speak louder
than words, after all.
My support pack on losing weight will
help you when you are ready to make
some lifestyle changes.
Dear Deidre
I HAVE been having amaz-
ing sex with a woman I used
to work with but all hell
broke loose when her boy-
friend found out.
I am 47 and my ex-colleague is 45.
We hadn’t seen each other for more
than 15 years but a friend liked a
post of hers on Facebook and it
reminded me how well we used to
get on.
So I got in touch and invited her
out for a coffee. We hit it off just
like the old days. We always had a
very flirtatious relationship, though I
was married then. I got divorced six
years ago.
I fancied her like mad then and it
was just the same this time too.
We met again the following week,
at my flat, and ended up having sex.
She said she had always fancied
me all those years ago and wished
we had got together then.
We saw each other a few more
times. The sex was always brilliant.
I was falling for her but she made
it clear that we were just having a
bit of fun. Everything was fine until
her partner returned to the UK. He

works in Dubai. We carried on see-
ing each other when she could slip
away but one day he followed her to
our rendezvous in the park.
He went ballistic. My lover told
him their relationship was over but
he wouldn’t listen. Everyone in the
park was staring — I’ve never been
so embarrassed.
I told them I would leave them to
discuss things privately, and left.
After that, our meetings stopped
but she carried on texting me until
about a week ago.
Her last message explained she
was staying with her partner and
trying to save their relationship. She
said she couldn’t see me or text any
more.
My head is telling me to forget her
but my heart tells me to wait, just in
case she changes her mind.
0 DEIDRE SAYS: You may find yourself
waiting a very long time.
There’s an outside chance she will
come looking for you if she doesn’t
succeed in saving her relationship.
However, the fact she has made this
choice speaks volumes about how she
sees your relationship.
It is best that, for now, you go cold
turkey. My support pack Moving On
can help you pick up the pieces.
Look for ways to widen your social life
and make new friends.
Get involved with activities that
interest you and you will be far more
likely to meet someone special you can
bond with, rather than through social
media.

Dear Deidre
IF my boyfriend thinks he can
blow half his salary on weed
when our baby arrives, he’s
got another thing coming.
I’m sick of him breaking
promises to stop. We have
been together for four years
and I never realised how
much he smokes until he
moved in with me.
I didn’t mean to get
pregnant but the Pill didn’t
work after I had a tummy bug.
Our baby boy is due next
month. I’m panicking as there
are still things we will need.
We are both 27. How can I
get my boyfriend to give up?
0 DEIDRE SAYS: You can’t
make him do anything he
doesn’t want to do.
But you can encourage
him to get support.
And perhaps if he sees
you also get your own
support for coping with his
issues, he will realise he

HANDS FULL . . . Bronte and Phil

with Amelia, Fenella and Theodore.
Inset, on their wedding day

By ANNA ROBERTS
WAKING up at 6am,
Bronte Rawlingson rushes
to the kitchen to whip up
her husband’s favourite
breakfast before a day of
cleaning and looking after
their children.
While the rest of the nation
returns to their workplaces in
droves, Bronte isn’t going anywhere.
Dropping out of private school for
love and then choosing to become a
teen mum at 19, she is a self-
confessed “traditional wife” and has
no interest in having a career.
The 29-year-old is married to Phil,
35, a plumbing business owner, and
says staying home and being “femi-
nine” helps their marriage flourish.
She adds: “I believe one of the reasons
there are so many failed marriages is that
women don’t behave in the way men want.
“I know my husband likes to be looked
after and for me to be feminine so he can be
masculine. We balance each other out.”
After preparing Phil’s breakfast in their
home in Frinton, Essex, Bronte makes
sure their children, Amelia, nine, Fenella,
six, and Theodore, 18 months, are fed.
‘It caused ructions’
“Sometimes it’s scrambled eggs, some-
times it’s an omelette for Phil,” she says. “I
like to feed him properly and make sure
he’s full until at least lunchtime. He can’t
be powered just by toast.
“The older two children are fussy
eaters so it’s never just something easy
like cereal.
“It can mean sorting out a variety
of different meals, like brioche and
Marmite toast, pancakes and
smoothies, to make sure they are
all happy — but I’m willing to do Three out of four Brit
mums work...but

they’re making a mistake
Her decision to become a teen
mother stunned many of her
school friends, who now hold down
big careers as lawyers and doctors.
Bronte says: “It certainly caused
ructions. No one expected me to be a teen
mum. It wasn’t the done thing, but it was
my choice. I always wanted to be a mother

BACK-TO-WORK STRESS
TWO-THIRDS of workers are anxious
about returning to the office, the
Chartered Management Institute
reports. NIKKI WATKINS looks at
common worries and seeks advice.
SEPARATE HOME AND WORK LIFE
TRY to view the last 18 months of being
around your kids as bonus family time,
rather than focus on what you’ve
lost. Parenting expert Liat Hughes
Joshi says: “Looking at the big picture
will make you feel less guilty. Plus, you
are being the strong role model of a
working parent.”
It is also important to switch off from
work when you get home. Liat says:
“Find ways to give your children extra
attention in the evenings, such as a
longer bedtime story, and properly
catching up on how your days went.”
DO SHORT, INSTENSE BURSTS
OF EXERCISE
WORKING from home meant time for
lengthy workouts like long runs. But
short bursts of exercise can be just as
effective, reckons Jenny Francis, who is
a personal trainer for ResultsWellness-
Lifestyle.com. She says: “If you are
used to long jogs, instead find a nearby
hill and sprint up it as fast as you can,
then jog back down. Just 15 of these
high-intensity sprints will burn as many,
if not more, calories as a long, steady
run. If you used to do 45-minute cardio
workouts online, swap these for 20-min-
ute HIIT workouts. If you enjoyed a long
yoga class in the morning, do 15 min-
utes before work, hit pause, then do
another 20 minutes in the evening.”
40-MINUTE WIND-DOWN
BEFORE BED
COMMUTING, bright office lighting
and the sensory overload of face-to-
face small-talk can be tiring. But sleep
expert Sammy Margo says: “There are
steps you can take to make it feel more
manageable, like investing in blue-light
glasses that will take away the glare
from computer screens.
“If you find small-talk draining, focus
only on people you have to engage with
or who make you happy.
“The sleep you get at night will be
improved with a 40-minute wind-down
before bed. Ban screens in this time.”
SCHEDULE MEALS AND CHORES
BEING unable to sneak in chores like
laundry during breaks may be a shock.
So get organised. Liat says: “Do meal-
planning, and schedule set days for
chores. Get the household involved.
Think about potential time-saving
solutions – are all chores essential?”
AVOID CHECKING EMAILS
OUTSIDE WORK TIME
COMMUTING again means earlier
DREAM COME
TRUE . . . Bronte
says being a mum
was all she ever
thought about
starts. But there are ways to cut stress.
Sammy says: “Set a daily caffeine cut-
off time. Caffeine raises your cortisol,
leaving you anxious, and caffeine after
4.30pm will interfere with sleep.
“Travelling to work, instead of read-
ing work emails listen to a mindfulness
podcast, favourite song or audiobook.
Keep a notepad by your bed and, if you
wake, write thoughts down. This may
help to get them out of your head and
you can deal with them the next day.”
ASK ABOUT HYBRID WORKING
HALF of managers expect staff back in
the office two or three days a week, the
Chartered Management Institute says.
Yet many feel pressure to return full-
time. If worried, talk to colleagues.
Sammy says: “A problem shared really
does feel like a problem halved.”
If you need to ask your boss about
hybrid or flexible working, consumer
expert Emmanuel Asuquo says: “First,,
review your contract and talk to HR or
check the most up-to-date company
handbook.
“Request a meeting with your boss
and say how you like your job, col-
leagues and the company. Say hybrid
working will help you perform, help with
your mental health and childcare, and
save the company money. List your
skills and experience. Be confident.”

MOST of us are now back at work after summer breaks. And to ease
you in, I have got two delicious, prep-ahead packed lunches for you.
It is so easy to end up eating the same lunch day after day, or to
spend loads on shop-bought sandwiches. But my houmous with
couscous, and cheesy chicken-and-leek turnovers, are filling, cheap to
make and easy to transport. Batch-make them in advance and freeze
for when you need an easy lunch on the go. Enjoy!

From No1 to No10 . . Heathrow
AIRPORT’S
PLEA FOR
TAKE-OFF
HEATHROW Airport has
blasted the Government’s
traffic light travel regime
for weakening both passen-
ger numbers and the UK’s
economic competitiveness
in Europe.
Despite hailing a 48 per
cent rise in passenger
numbers in August, com-
pared with the previous
month, it said that the
total was still down by 71
per cent compared to
the same month before
the pandemic.
From being the busiest
airport in Europe in 2019
it is now tenth on the
list behind Schiphol, Paris
and Frankfurt.
It blamed “ever-changing
restrictions and unneces-
sary testing requirements”
for delaying the Global
Britain ambitions.
It called on the Govern-
ment to move quickly to
simplify the traffic light
travel system by removing
amber and keeping just a
green and red list.
Heathrow chief executive
John Holland-Kaye said:
“The Government has
the tools to protect
the UK’s international
competitiveness.
“If Ministers fail then the
UK will fall further behind,
as trade and tourists
increasingly bypass us.”
A ROLLS

ROLLS-ROYCE and defence

business AIRTANKER

Their shares in the firm,
which helps provide avia-
tion services for the Royal
Air Force’s Voyager fleet,
will be sold to EQUITIX
INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT.
Rolls-Royce will net
£189million for its 23.1
per cent share in the joint
venture, with Babcock set
to secure £126million for
its 15 per cent stake.
Both firms are trying to
raise cash to offset the
heavy impact of the pan-
demic on air travel.

He said: “We have seen
a huge uplift in smart
wear, not just for work but
also weddings.”
Norman added that M&S,
which is considering exiting
some of its French stores,
was changing its style:
“We are on a journey to
transform a company that
has been in drift for two-
and-a-half decades. We are
looking to bring back our
entrepreneurial past.”

PREMIER LGE
BENI JETS
By MARK
IRWIN
RAFA BENITEZ is ready to smash
the Premier League cartel as
unbeaten Everton moved level
with Manchester United, Chelsea
and Liverpool at the top.
Three goals in six minutes sparked a
sensational second-half comeback after
the Blues were in danger of being bul-
lied into submission by Burnley.
Do not forget that it was this time
last year that the Toffees briefly went
top before limping home in tenth.
And it was Burnley’s 2-1 win at
Goodison in March which proved the
beginning of the end of Everton’s love
affair with Carlo Ancelotti.
So new boss Benitez is not going to
get too carried away by this bright
start to his mission to win over the
fans upset by the appointment of a
former Liverpool chief.
But he has certainly done all that
could be asked of him so far — and
the spirit his team showed to come
through this war of attrition suggests
he is on the right road.
No Premier League boss spent less
in the transfer window than Benitez —
but two of his bargain-basement buys
once again provided the inspiration.
Free transfer Andros Townsend led
the fightback with a stunning goal and
an assist before £1.5million Demarai
Gray secured the points.
Yet for the best part of an hour it
looked as though Everton would fall
back into the familiar routine which
saw them lose nine at home last term.
Ben Mee had marked the occasion
of becoming the first Burnley man to
make 200 Prem appearances by head-
ing his team into a 53rd-minute lead.
But Townsend picked out Michael
Keane for a 60th-minute equaliser
against his former club and suddenly
there was only one team in it.
In 2018, Townsend scored one of the
goals of the decade against Manchester
City and his 30-yard curler last night
was not far behind that worldie.
And before the Clarets had time to
catch their breath, Gray had put the
game to bed when he raced on to
Abdoulaye Doucoure’s delicious
through ball to calmly slot home.

Burnley’s visit to Merseyside last month
prompted complaints from Jurgen
Klopp about their physical approach.
And it was clear right from the off
that they were not about to change
their ways when Richarlison was
clattered by Josh Brownhill the very
first time he touched the ball.
Everton were fortunate not to
concede an early goal when Chris
Wood inexplicably failed to apply a
head to Dwight McNeil’s inviting cross.
And the visitors might even have
had a penalty when James Tarkowski
was hauled down by Doucoure, which
VAR ruled was not a clear and
obvious error by ref Martin Atkinson.

“They clearly felt they

The Norwegian added: “I can’t
look at the squad and say, ‘We
have played a game in midweek
and are tired’.
“Players are fitter now and
we’ve been very robust over the
years and improved a lot in the
way we’ve dealt with the pandemic
situation and games coming thick
and fast.
“With the players we’ve signed,
it’s easier to rotate, definitely, and

Villa permanent.
The 23-year-old is currently
enjoying his third loan spell with
the Villans, where he has played
four times already this season. An
insider revealed: “Axel is playing
with a smile on his face and
loves the reception Aston Villa
fans gave him when he returned
to the club.
“He’s very happy in the West
Midlands and would welcome a
permanent move to the club, if
that were to arise.
“In Dean Smith, Axel believes
he has a boss who can get the
best out of him and understands
his game.
“He is getting plenty of minutes
on the pitch and the experience
will only improve his game.”

OLE’S HIT
SQUAD
Utd have depth for Euro assault
SIR ALEX FERGUSON always
made a point of just how
much a Champions League
away game can take out of
a team.
Particularly when they then
have to face a fierce rival in
the Premier League that follow-
ing weekend.
He felt the tribal nature of the
domestic league demanded that he
played a full-strength team no
matter what had gone on midweek
in Madrid or Milan.
So to win the league in 2008, 2009
and 2011 whilst getting to the Cham-
pions League final in each of those
years was something special.
But he had a special squad of
players to do that and now Ole Gun-
nar Solskjaer thinks he has the same.
Enough to fight it out on two
fronts in the Premier League and in
Europe.
Not the Europa League which they
have dipped into too often over the
last ten years.
Two quarter-finals in a decade is
just not good enough for a club of
Manchester United’s size and Sols-
kjaer knows it. Now as United open

up their campaign with a Group F
game away to Young Boys this
evening in Bern, Solskjaer believes
he has what he needs to put things
right.
Players of real quality in this com-
petition like Cristiano Ronaldo, who
won it once with United in 2008 and
four times with Real Madrid.
If he plays, Ronaldo will equal Iker
Casillas’ all-time record of 177
Champions League appearances.
Raphael Varane, who won the
same four finals as a team-mate of
Ronaldo in Madrid as well as the
World Cup with Paul Pogba.
And Pogba himself has been a
runner-up in the Champions League
in his time at Juventus where he
won four Scudettos.
Then there is Jadon Sancho, one of
the most sought-after young wingers
in Europe.
It really is looking and sounding
like a big team again.

Grant told talkSPORT: “Everyone
was sat down on our table for pre-
match and straight away one of the
lads said to me, ‘What’s Cristiano got
on his plate?’. Obviously, it was the
cleanest plate you could imagine.
“I’ll tell you one of his plates — he
had several. One of them was quinoa,
avocado and a couple of boiled eggs.
This guy is in incredible shape.”
competition just as he did as a
player when he plundered an injury-
time winner in that memorable 1999
final against Bayern Munich.
Solskjaer said: “We’ve had enough
disappointments, that’s for sure.
“But this team has grown and
matured over the last few seasons.
“That was always the plan, back
when I came in, to have a squad with
experience and quality to challenge.
“We’re getting the spine of the
team, you can see experience and
quality, Raphael and Cristiano add
that something extra we have to buy.
“We’ve definitely learnt, the group
is special, as a unit. They look after
each other.
“The atmosphere is really good and
that’s going to stand us in good
stead, definitely.”
There are plenty of leaders where
there used to be none with Pogba
emerging from the pack once again.
He provided his seventh assist of
the season in the Premier League in
Saturday’s 4-1 win over Newcastle.
The Frenchman provided only
three in each of the previous two
Premier League seasons. He looks
like he has the bit between his teeth.
