Big business mulls approach to Trump bid after opposing 2020 election lies

Image
Top CEOs value stable democracy but risk backlash for advocacy amid Trump presidential bid, analysts say. Three days after Election Night 2020, dozens of CEOs from the nation's largest companies logged into a Zoom call aiming to prevent the collapse of American democracy, according to several attendees who spoke to ABC News. The night before, then-President Donald Trump had falsely declared victory in an address at the White House, pointing to a count of what he called "legal votes." "The CEOs were horrified," Yale University Professor of Management Jeffrey Sonnenfeld, who convened the meeting, told ABC News. Hastily assembled, some of the chief executives showed up to the early-morning call in pajamas and most expressed grave concerns, he added. Sonnenfeld and other meeting attendees declined to identify the CEOs who participated in the call, since they did so on condition of anonymity. "There was recognition that if Trump pulled this off, it could turn th

Man Utd in talks with Chelsea over Marc Cucurella loan

United have lost usual starter Luke Shaw to injury for the next few months and so have drawn up a shortlist of potential replacements, with Barcelona's Marcos Alonso and Tottenham Hotspur's Sergio Reguilon also among the options. Sources have confirmed to 90min that United have now advanced their interest in Cucurella and have opened talks with Chelsea over a possible deal for the Spaniard.

Jurgen Klopp reveals why he's excited about Dominik Szoboszlai

Jurgen Klopp is excited about what's to come from Dominik Szoboszlai after a fast start to his career at Liverpool. The Hungarian has been the standout player in a new-look Liverpool midfield, playing in a more withdrawn role than the one he often took up at RB Leipzig. Liverpool have picked up four points from their first two games, drawing at Chelsea before taking Bournemouth down 3-1 at Anfield, and Szoboszlai impressed in both outings, covering the most distance of any player in the latter fixture. Newcastle provide Liverpool's third test of the season, away at St James' Park, and Klopp spoke about the impact of Szoboszlai ahead of the Game to Sky Sports , revealing what he likes about the midfielder's Game and what supporters can look forward to seeing in the future. "His energy, combined with technique, desire...pretty much all attributes you want to see," Klopp remarked about the things he likes about Szoboszlai. "The last thing you would think

The 21-year-old spent last season on loan at Osasuna, helping the club to an impressive seventh-place La Liga finish and a surprise appearance in the Copa del Rey final - a Game they would narrowly lose to Real Madrid.

Revealed: How Moises Caicedo responded to series of Jurgen Klopp text messages

Moises Caicedo rejected a move to Liverpool this summer with a text message sent to manager Jurgen Klopp. Despite being Chelsea's top midfield target, it was Liverpool who first agreed a £111m fee to sign the Ecuador international from Brighton & Hove Albion, with Klopp himself admitting a deal had been struck during a press conference. Caicedo, however, had other ideas and ultimately rejected a move to Liverpool as he only had eyes for Chelsea, who had not yet agreed a fee with Brighton but eventually shook hands on a deal worth £115m. According to The Athletic , that rejection actually came over text to manager Klopp, who had been messaging the midfielder to try and convince him to make the move. It is said that Klopp sent a series of messages to Caicedo to try and convince the 21-year-old of his desire to work together, but Caicedo reply made it clear he did not want to move to Liverpool.

Gary Neville criticises Man Utd's handling of Mason Greenwood investigation

The Red Devils confirmed on Monday that the 21-year-old will be leaving the club by mutual agreement, having been the subject of an internal six-month investigation.

"It was clear from day one that he wouldn't play for Manchester United again," Neville, who spent 19 years at Old Trafford as a first-team player, told Sky Sports ' Monday Night Football . "The process in getting there has been pretty horrible. When you have significant situations, and difficult situations like this, it requires strong authoritative leadership.
