themanchestereveningnews--2020-09-29--Telles interest is proof Solskjaer is aware of Man Utd's tactical weakness

It says a lot about Ole Gunnar Solskjaer 's record in the transfer market at Manchester United that the demands for a director of football have eased since the start of last summer .
Considering his signings in his previous job in the Premier League , at Cardiff City , were widely criticised , Solskjaer has been almost note-perfect at United .
If anything he 's shown he can do the job of director of football himself .
His identification of the holes in his squad and the players who can move United forward has been impressive .
That has @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
While the move for Donny van de Beek may have been more opportunistic than a long-term plan , the desire to sign a right-winger and a left-back is two areas of the squad that are clearly in need of reinforcements .
United have n't signed a right-winger since Wilfired Zaha in 2013 and they have n't signed a left-back since Luke Shaw and Marcos Rojo arrived in 2014 .
Every other area of the squad has had reinforcements since then .
While Jadon Sancho might be the obvious right-wing target Solskjaer has @ @ @ @ @ @ @ at left-back .
Shaw remains at the club and has impressed in the last couple of seasons , but he 's not a naturally attacking full-back .
By pursuing Alex Telles , who has 23 goals and 45 assists in 160 games for Porto , Solskjaer is showing he knows what United need to be able to go to the next level .
There has been a feeling in recent weeks that the opposition are happy to let United 's full-backs have the ball , defending narrowly against the front three and Bruno @ @ @ @ @ @ @ where the impact from Shaw and Aaron Wan-Bissaka is still a work in progress .
If Telles was in the side against teams where United were dominant with the ball it offers another attacking weapon , freeing up more space for United 's dangerous forwards .
It could also allow Brandon Williams to move over to right-back and offer more attacking cover to Wan-Bissaka .
Solskjaer 's recruitment drive at United so far has been sensible .
He might want deals done quicker , but he 's slowly piecing together a squad from @ @ @ @ @ @ @ dealings .
The squad he inherited was bloated , unbalanced and lacking quality in key areas .
In the space of three transfer windows that is beginning to change .
The deals for Wan-Bissaka and Harry Maguire solved two problems last summer , even if both players will want to kick on this season , while Daniel James added valuable depth .
In January Solskjaer solved United 's desperation for an injection of creativity with a move for Fernandes , a £47million deal that was so inspired that the Portuguese playmaker won the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ despite being around for just 14 Premier League games .
The pattern is continuing this summer .
United will need another striker to complete their squad rebuild and , once two or three defenders have been sold , they may well need another top-level central defender , but it ca n't all be fixed in one window .
United have made that mistake at times in the previous seven years .
The result was the squad Solskjaer inherited .
Now , brick by brick , he is trimming and rebuilding it , and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is required .
That should earn the trust of United 's dealmakers to make sure the Norwegian is given what he needs in the final week of the window .

In a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the charity wrote : “ Sorry , the name ’ s taken ... by something that ’ s actually by working class people for working class people.

themanchestereveningnews--2020-09-29--Concerns for safety of pupils at boarding school after 'inadequate' Ofsted rank

Students at a school in Bolton are deemed to be 'at risk ' after it was rated 'inadequate ' by inspectors .
Concerns around the safeguarding of pupils at the independent Al Jamiatul Islamiyah school in Deane were raised by regulator Ofsted in a report published in June 2020 , following an inspection in February .
The all-boys Muslim faith school has 207 pupils of an age range of 11 to 25-years-old .
The school also failed to meet a host of health and safety standards set to protect both pupils and staff , said the authorities .
In particular @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for students boarding .
The report reads : `` There is no specific safeguarding policy in place relating to boarding .
The safeguarding policy for the school makes no reference to the boarding aspect of this setting .
This means that the school ’ s policy relating to safeguarding in the boarding provision is unclear .
`` This means that expectations relating to safeguarding of boarders are not clear to boarding staff .
As a result , leaders and managers failed to manage some specific risks linked to individuals , despite their assurances @ @ @ @ @ @ @ other children in boarding at serious risk of harm . ''
Fire safety was also highlighted as an issue at the school , said the report : `` There are slip and trip hazards in a small number of fire escape routes which could cause delay in the event of a fire .
`` Leaders were unaware that one fire extinguisher had been tampered with and that it was possibly partially discharged .
Although leaders acted immediately to replace the extinguisher , the issue regarding leaders ’ lack of awareness of the status @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the last inspection , still persists .
`` Several shortfalls were found with fire safety provision which places pupils at risk of harm .
These include missing signage to aid evacuation , missing intumescent strips on designated fire doors and physical hazards associated with escape routes adjacent to the lower boiler room . ''
Staff were also unaware of how to deal with boarders who become unwell .
`` There is no policy for the care of boarders who are unwell , '' said Ofsted .
`` This means that should children fall @ @ @ @ @ @ @ no clear procedure to guide staff or senior advocates on the actions that they need to take . ''
The school has taken some steps to improve since a prior inspection in June 2019 , when Ofsted inspectors first rated the institution as inadequate .
The school has repaired broken infrastructure and rectified problems with record-keeping .
The school 's chair of trustees has said that the institution underwent a 'sudden change in leadership ' before the 2019 inspection .
Yakub Nanji told the Manchester Evening News : `` Just over a year @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the leadership Al Jamiatul Islamiyah , Boys ’ Islamic School in Bolton '' The handover was not one that was smooth with policies and procedures missing and a gap in the leadership and management team. ''
A senior leadership team ( SLT ) was immediately formed who for the last 12 months have gone from strength to strength , with full the support of staff , parents and pupils .
We have a team of education consultants who is providing ongoing training to ensure the SLT is equipped with the best resources and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ year , we have nominated experienced individuals from within the community to join the Trust board who have the necessary skills and ability to move this institute forward .
`` All areas highlighted as requiring improvement in the last inspection is now in place as we look to continue in improving standards and the quality of the education provided to the pupils .
`` At the time of the Ofsted inspection , the Senior leadership team was in its infancy and had a difficult task ahead , but I am pleased to see @ @ @ @ @ @ @ inspection where most parts of the ISS were met .
An action plan has being prepared to be shared with Ofsted in October . ''
But the school 's leadership has remained a concern amid the departure of two headteachers , according to the June 2020 report .
`` Leadership of the school remains fragile , '' added the report .
`` Since the inspection , two headteachers have left their posts .
Currently , the deputy headteacher is overseeing the day-to-day management of the school .
`` Supervisors , who have significant @ @ @ @ @ @ @ welfare of boarders , have not completed the induction to boarding school training .
Additionally , leaders have not ensured that boarding staff receive effective formal reviews of their work . ''
The full report can be found on the Ofsted website .

The report reads: "There is no specific safeguarding policy in place relating to boarding. The safeguarding policy for the school makes no reference to the boarding aspect of this setting. This means that the school’s policy relating to safeguarding in the boarding provision is unclear.
"This means that expectations relating to safeguarding of boarders are not clear to boarding staff. As a result, leaders and managers failed to manage some specific risks linked to individuals, despite their assurances to other agencies. This potentially places other children in boarding at serious risk of harm."
Fire safety was also highlighted as an issue at the school, said the report: "There are slip and trip hazards in a small number of fire escape routes which could cause delay in the event of a fire.
"Leaders were unaware that one fire extinguisher had been tampered with and that it was possibly partially discharged. Although leaders acted immediately to replace the extinguisher, the issue regarding leaders’ lack of awareness of the status of extinguishers, which was identified at the last inspection, still persists.
"Several shortfalls were found with fire safety provision which places pupils at risk of harm. These include missing signage to aid evacuation, missing intumescent strips on designated fire doors and physical hazards associated with escape routes adjacent to the lower boiler room."
Staff were also unaware of how to deal with boarders who become unwell.
"There is no policy for the care of boarders who are unwell," said Ofsted. "This means that should children fall ill out of hours, there is no clear procedure to guide staff or senior advocates on the actions that they need to take."
The school has taken some steps to improve since a prior inspection in June 2019, when Ofsted inspectors first rated the institution as inadequate.
The school has repaired broken infrastructure and rectified problems with record-keeping.
The school's chair of trustees has said that the institution underwent a 'sudden change in leadership' before the 2019 inspection.
Yakub Nanji told the Manchester Evening News : " Just over a year ago there was a sudden change in the leadership Al Jamiatul Islamiyah, Boys’ Islamic School in Bolton
"The handover was not one that was smooth with policies and procedures missing and a gap in the leadership and management team.
" A senior leadership team (SLT) was immediately formed who for the last 12 months have gone from strength to strength, with full the support of staff, parents and pupils. We have a team of education consultants who is providing ongoing training to ensure the SLT is equipped with the best resources and training possible.
"Since August this year, we have nominated experienced individuals from within the community to join the Trust board who have the necessary skills and ability to move this institute forward.
"All areas highlighted as requiring improvement in the last inspection is now in place as we look to continue in improving standards and the quality of the education provided to the pupils.
"At the time of the Ofsted inspection, the Senior leadership team was in its infancy and had a difficult task ahead, but I am pleased to see progress is being made in the follow-up inspection where most parts of the ISS were met. An action plan has being prepared to be shared with Ofsted in October."
But the school's leadership has remained a concern amid the departure of two headteachers, according to the June 2020 report.
"Leadership of the school remains fragile," added the report.
"Since the inspection, two headteachers have left their posts. Currently, the deputy headteacher is overseeing the day-to-day management of the school.
"Supervisors, who have significant responsibilities for the care, safety and welfare of boarders, have not completed the induction to boarding school training. Additionally, leaders have not ensured that boarding staff receive effective formal reviews of their work."
The full report can be found on the Ofsted website.


themanchestereveningnews--2020-09-29--Manchester bar bans MPs as Cancel the Curfew campaign picks up speed

Leaders from the hospitality industry have banded together to launch a nationwide campaign this week , calling for an end to the 10pm curfew .
An open letter to the Prime Minister warns that the curfew could be the 'final nail in the coffin ' for an industry that is 'dying ' , with some reporting a drop in trade of 60 per cent since the measure was introduced .
The # CanceltheCurfew campaign hopes to put pressure on the government to U-turn on its decision to impose a curfew on pubs , bars and restaurants .
Some of the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ hours say they are losing as many as 40 hours of trade every single week .
The campaign comes less than a week after the curfew came into action , and follows a weekend where impromptu street parties and packed public transport networks were seen across England .
Industry leaders say they have been 'vilified as breeding grounds for the virus ' despite recent figures from PHE show that only three per cent of Covid-19 transmissions outside the home have been traced back to hospitality .
As well as a huge outcry across @ @ @ @ @ @ @ planning to hold a silent protest on Saturday evening , with operators and hospitality workers standing outside their venues at 10pm .
Mojo , which has a bar in Manchester city centre , has also barred MPs from its venues until either the curfew is called off or financial support is offered , saying 'You wo n't serve us , so we wo n't serve you ! '
.
It 's all intended to raise awareness amongst consumers and apply pressure for the 'ruinous ' curfew to be called off .
Michael Greenhow @ @ @ @ @ @ @ no evidence to support the 'assumption ' that hospitality is driving infection , and 'as of yet no sign of the threatened dramatic upturn in deaths ' .
`` The move to curtail the operational hours of our already crippled industry seems unjust and punitive , not to mention illogical and irrational , '' he said .
`` Are people more infectious after 10pm ?
Hospitality has slaved to work responsibly within the constraints laid out for us and now we are being thrown aside with scant concern for the impact these measures @ @ @ @ @ @ @ wider economy . ''
The curfew is expected to cost the industry £5.5m per day , in central London alone .
Tom Lord , founder of Hospitality Gin and hospitality consultant , says : `` The industry that we love is in grave danger of being suffocated by this curfew .
`` Some venues were starting to see a light at the end of the tunnel before it was announced as customers returned and we all settled into 'the new normal ' .
Now we ’ ve been plunged back into uncertainty .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ know the impact that the curfew is going to have , not just on our businesses , but on our friends and colleagues .
`` We have borne the brunt of the measures announced over the past fortnight .

`` In fact , the latest figures show that we have one of the lowest infection rates outside of the home .
`` Hundreds of thousands of people will lose @ @ @ @ @ @ @ this disastrous policy , thousands of businesses will close their doors forever , and the hospitality industry will never be the same again .

The #CanceltheCurfew campaign hopes to put pressure on the government to U-turn on its decision to impose a curfew on pubs, bars and restaurants.

Boris Johnson has continued to stand by the 10pm hospitality curfew as questions around it 's scientific backing continue .

On Tuesday when asked whether he stood by the 10pm hospitality curfew, Mr Johnson said: "What I would say about hospitality – no one wants to impose a curfew or a limit of any kind but you've got to look at the spread of this disease and that it is spread by human contact.
"I'm afraid the hospitality sector is an obvious place of transmission of coronavirus.
"We have to get it down and that's what we’re doing, that’s what the country is again doing together."
He added: "I would draw a distinction between what is happening now and what happened in March – in no way is this the same as the lockdown in March.

During his time in Exeter, where the Prime Minister was making a speech about new government plans to improve the training and skills system, he also suggested that some jobs in traditional shops, pubs or restaurants may be gone for good.

Coronavirus "has compressed that revolution", he said.

He downloaded a number of issues of Rumiyah, an online propaganda magazine used by Islamic State, and other extremist documents.
These included advice on how to carry out acts of terror such as knife attacks, manufacturing bombs, how to create a suicide vest and how to avoid detection.
Fenn also uploaded an eight minute long video entitled 'EXPOSED, The True Path of ISIS', which featured scenes of executions, beheadings and other graphic violence.
The judge was shown the video in court during the hearing, with the court sitting in chambers without members of the public present.
Police became aware of Fenn when he was referred to the Prevent programme when he was 17.
Prosecutors said the referral was made due to 'comments' by Fenn, while his lawyer said the defendant was referred because he was 'vulnerable' and 'susceptible to being groomed'.
Officers went to his home in March 2017 and warned him about the dangers of downloading and looking at such material.

"I am satisfied that you have shown poor judgement and that you were drawn into this behaviour by your obsessional behaviour," the judge said.
"These are, in my judgement, direct consequences of your autism."
But the judge said Fenn knew what he was doing was wrong and that it represented 'dangerous risk taking'.
As well as the prison sentence, Fenn will be subject to an additional year of monitoring on licence when he is released, after the judge ruled he is an offender 'of particular concern'.
After the hearing, Detective Superintendent Will Chatterton, Head of Investigations at Counter Terrorism Police North West, said: "Though Fenn refused to comment throughout all of his interviews with us, the evidence we found was overwhelming and has led to him being jailed.

themanchestereveningnews--2020-09-29--Exclusive: What to expect from new Man City EDS coach Enzo Maresca

Enzo Maresca was forced to delay his start as Manchester City 's new EDS head coach this season due to quarantine restrictions but has wasted no time making his mark on the academy .
The former player and assistant is an interesting choice to replace Paul Harsley and probably the most high profile appointment since Patrick Vieira seven years ago .
Like Vieira , this job also represents Maresca 's first time working in youth football in what he hopes will be the first of many spells as a manager .
And while his biggest achievements on the pitch with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ title and two UEFA Cups - came before most of the youngsters he is now in charge of started school , the 40-year-old has shown enough in the rondo drills in training to leave an impression on the squad .
Both his willingness to get involved with exercises and standing out as the best player while doing that have cut through with the academy players keen to impress , and so has a no-nonsense talk delivered on his first day at the training complex .
`` The first day I met the team @ @ @ @ @ @ @ want any excuse about their age , '' Maresca told MEN Sport .
`` They are 17 , 18 but they are good players and we can challenge teams with a higher average age .
I think this is n't a problem .
We know at this age two years difference is enough but I do n't want any excuses .
We can compete against everyone .
`` If we want to try to improve them and prepare them for a professional level we must treat them as adults as much as we @ @ @ @ @ @ @ moments where you ca n't but as much as we can we have to try to help them for the next step that is professional .
`` The main target is to try to help them understand what they need for the next step .
The next step is professional football - hopefully with the first team , maybe Championship , maybe a different team from the Premier League .
We need to help them to reach the next step .
We have to work every day , and doing that we can @ @ @ @ @ @ @ may be new to youth football but he has already picked up some valuable experiences as an assistant .
After six months at Ascoli , he served as assistant at Sevilla during the 2017/18 season that included a run to the Champions League quarter-finals after knocking out United with victory at Old Trafford .
He then spent a year at West Ham with Manuel Pellegrini , who he had played under at Malaga .
During a difficult season for the Hammers , he is credited with masterminding a win over Chelsea and left @ @ @ @ @ @ @ lengthy recruitment process , head of City 's academy Jason Wilcox is happy to have landed the coach to lead the second team at the club while new Under-23s assistant Danny Walker was instantly convinced after the two spoke ahead of the first game of the season .
`` For me in the last four or five years as a player I was already thinking to become a coach in the future , '' said Maresca .
`` Coaching is all about the game , tactical , technical , preparation , analysing the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to beat them , how to find a way to improve our players and team .
`` All of my coaching experiences have been very good because I do n't think playing football gives you everything you need to know about coaching .
You need experience , you need to study , you need to analyse , you need many , many things .
`` I just try to pick all the best things , to put together with my personal ideas and try to do the right things .
`` My idea @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , not an assistant coach .
For my personal experience it was important to make a step before as assistant coach .
This one I start for myself .
This is completely different to what I 've done before .

It will likely be a very youthful team that lines up in Tuesday 's EFL Trophy game at Scunthorpe , with Pep Guardiola keen to rest some of his first team stars in the Carabao Cup at Burnley on Wednesday .
As much as it will make his job harder , Maresca will be happier if he is without his best players for longer stretches for that reason .
He said @ @ @ @ @ @ @ very important to be very close to the first team as they know that they need a lot of work to reach a professional level but I think all of them can reach a good level .
