outside england until 31st august. here's our sports news correspondent, richard conway. all 20 premier league clubs have one ambition and that is to get their hands on this trophy on the end of the season but this decision to amend the transfer window says something else about their confidence. this is a bold decision to amend the summer transfer window. it shows that financially they can resist other offers from other clu bs, resist other offers from other clubs, they can act unilaterally to bring the day forward from the end of august to the middle of the month, two at thursday before the start of the season. the other european leagues will have to sit up and take notice and decide perhaps in talks with uefa and fever ultimately about whether they follow suit, so too will the efl, the lower league clubs must make a decision about what they do, do they fall in line with the premier league and have a similar decision whereby they stop their trading, their purchasing certainly before the start of the season? premier league clubs made their decision very clear. they are going to

by the former england coach roy hodgson, as our correspondent richard conway explains. defeat to burnley consigned crystal palace to the worst start of any top division team since 192a. frank de boer was only appointed injune, but knew he was a man under pressure. the only thing that i can control, you know, is to work very hard with the boys. that's what i'm going to do until the last end. that end came quickly. his appointment was billed as evolution, but in sacking him the club took a more darwinian stance — saying, simply: de boer is not alone, though. his brief tenure evokes memories of brian clough's 44 days at leeds united in the 1970s. another former palace manager, sam allardyce, lasted just one game in charge of england. but perhaps nothing can beat leroy rosenior‘s ten minutes in charge of torquay united in 2007. roy hodgson, last seen guiding england to an early euro 2016 exit, is tipped to succeed de boer. meanwhile, one managerial veteran believes more icebergs lie ahead. i was sacked as a champion, ranieri was sacked as a champion. frank de boer is sacked after

sportsday, with me, hugh ferris. england's cricketers have ended their longest summer by making short work of the west indies in theirfinal one day international. an unbeaten century from jonny bairstow helped them to a comprehensive nine wicket victory in southampton and a 4—0 series win. west indies batted first and scored 288—6 in their 50 overs, with liam plunkett taking two wickets. but it was quickly clear that wasn't enough runs, as an opening stand of 156, including 96 from jason roy, and jonny bairstow‘s second ton of the series. he eventually finished on mi not out and helped england reach their target with 12 overs to spare. joe root rounding off the series and summer with a six. this group of players have now been together for a period of this group of players have now been togetherfor a period of time. it ta kes a togetherfor a period of time. it takes a period of time for people to bet into an environment and team and roll and learn a role, to take a step up from county cricket to international cricket, whether that we at twenty20 level or test cricket it does take
