AUSTRALIAN TENNIS PLAYER Nick Kyrgios has been banned for eight tournament weeks and fined an additional US$25,000 by the ATP following his antics in the Shanghai Masters last week.
The 21-year-old’s suspension was imposed after he was deemed by governing body the ATP to have committed a ‘major offence which was conduct contrary to the integrity of the game’ during a defeat to qualifier Mischa Zverev.
World number 14 Kyrgios was at the centre of another tanking controversy, seemingly throwing in the towel as he bowed out to the German qualifier.
The ATP revealed the Canberra native, who had already been fined US$16,500 for his behaviour, which also saw him exchange words with a spectator, could have his suspension reduced to three tournament weeks if he enters a plan of care under a sports psychologist or an equivalent ATP-approved plan.
If not, he will not be banned until 15 January next year, the day before the Australian Open gets underway in Melbourne.
Dyche would be crazy to leave Burnley for Everton at the moment. It’s going to be very hard to succeed at a side with no goal scorers and once a young English manager fails at a “bigger” club it can spell the end of the road for their career.
@Hank Scorpio: I agree with you man. But Everton is the biggest club Dyche could ever hope to get. Who knows when it comes around again?
Then again – He was relegated with Burnley and a serious reputation. If he didn’t walk then, why walk now when sun shines?
@Hank Scorpio: currently heavy favorite at 6/4, don’t know where the42 got 8s.
Coleman failed to qualify for world cup not euro 2016
Ancelotti is clearly angling for a return to the Premier League, but I think he’s hoping that either the Liverpool or Chelsea job becomes available.
Brendan Rodgers ?
@Scott Walker: step down not a hope
@ryan o sullivan: lol.. hardly
@ryan o sullivan: I hope not, just surprised he’s not among the favorites.
Thomas tuchel… we’re Everton f.f.s.

Sean dyche is the most likely to land the job and probably the best fit for everton out of who is available. But I’d love to see brendan Rodgers get the job and right a few wrongs from his last stint in the Premier league.
@d: Rodgers speaks to much waffle @d
@d: he’s a complete spoofer. Can’t organise a defence to save his life. He owes any bit of credibility he has to Luis Suarez
Surely it will be Moyes
Ancellotti would be a great signing of intent
Dyche has to be a contender. Mind ya he probably waiting on the call from the Theatre Of Queens.
@Mrs. Nugent: think you’ll find he’s going to Anfield
Martin o Neill 16/1 ?
@Noel: Hardly, especially if we qualify for the world cup
@COYBIG: like that’s going happen
Wales did qualify for Euro 2016 under Coleman…
It has to be either Garry Neville or Harry Redknapp…..Ha Ha Ha Ha
@Giroud Doherty: A
@Giroud Doherty: Are you still laughing?
@An Observer: ha ha
Sean Dyche would look a right tool if he took this job after his interview in the Times On Sunday claiming he’s happy at Burnley and wouldn’t leave
Long shot here but Alan Curbishley is free I think
