Wael Al-Qadi, who watched his Rovers team dramatically promoted to the third tier of the English league last weekend, said Leicester’s exploits this season should give hope to everyone outside the traditional big clubs. “What happened with Leicester, it just gives extreme motivation not only to clubs but for fans, for players,” the Jordanian said. “It’s fantastic for us in the lower leagues, you FIFA President Gianni Infantino think any of your players can become the next Jamie Vardy.” Vardy, famously, was playing non- league football just four years ago but his rapid FIFA unveils timetable for rise will likely see him named as a member of England’s European Championship squad to 2026 WCup bidding process play in France next month.

A defense official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the US Navy would expand its presence in the Mediterranean to four destroyers from three. Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel, en route to Asia, said Obama had asked the Pentagon for options on Syria, where an apparent chemical weapons attack that killed as many as 1,000 civilians has upped pressure on Washington to respond. “The Defense Department has responsibility to provide the president with options for all contingencies,” Hagel said. “And that requires posi- tioning our forces, positioning our assets, to be able to carry out different options - whatever options the presi- dent might choose.” He did not elaborate. The defense official, who was not authorized to speak publicly, said the USS Mahan, a destroyer armed with cruise missiles, had finished its deployment and was due to head back to its home base in Norfolk, Virginia.

The results demonstrate that, on average, a managerial sacking results in a post-announcement day market-adjusted share price rise of 0.3%, whilst a resignation leads to a drop in share price of 1% that continues for a trading month thereafter, cumulating in a negative abnormal return of over 8% from a trading day before the event.
