London: Wolverhampton Wanderers chairman Steve Morgan apologised to the fans on Saturday after the club was relegated to the third tier of English soccer for the first time since 1989.
Wolves lost 2-0 at Brighton and Hove Albion to finish second from bottom of the Championship, twelve months after they dropped out of the Premier League. They became the only club in the English game to have twice suffered relegations from the top division to the third tier in successive seasons.
"Today is a sad day at the end of what has been an horrendous season," Morgan told the Wolves website. "As chairman of the club I take my responsibilities very seriously; we have failed our supporters, and the city, and for that I am truly sorry. Clearly a lot of mistakes have been made over the past two seasons.
"Although every decision has been with the club's best interests at heart, we have clearly got some of those decisions wrong. I understand the fans' pain, anger and resentment towards me, the board and the players, especially within the context of successive relegations."...

Bolton: Liverpool were surprised by the team with the worst home record in the English Premier League when they lost to Bolton Wanderers 3-1 on Saturday.

Almost four years ago, I sat in amazement at the Sinhalese Cricket Ground in Colombo watching Ajantha Mendis bamboozle the greatest Indian batting quarter ever. Watching Mendis flummox Rahul Dravid, Sachin Tendulkar, Sourav Ganguly and VVS Laxman was riveting, and arguably the most engaging performance by a spinner since Shane Warne. There he was, slipping in his wicked, middle-finger-flicked googlies silently between top-spinners and various cutters to a top six...
