Chris Wilder out as Sheffield United's US owners make managerial change
SHEFFIELD, England (AP) — Sheffield United parted ways with manager Chris Wilder on Wednesday after failing to secure a return to the Premier League.

Sheffield United lost to Sunderland in the Championship playoff final at Wembley Stadium last month to miss out on promotion.
Wilder was in his second spell at the Yorkshire club after leading it to promotion in his first stint from 2016-21.
'A Blade through and through, the legacy Chris and his staff have created here will never be forgotten,' Sheffield United said in a statement.
U.S.-based COH Sports completed the purchase of Sheffield United in late December. The group is led by Steven Rosen and Helmy Eltoukhy, who became the club's co-chairmen.

GoNetZero and Anvil Analytical Collaborate to Strengthen Carbon Tracking Across Global Supply Chains
SINGAPORE and LONDON, June 23, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- GoNetZero, a global decarbonisation enabler in clean energy procurement and carbon management, is pleased to announce a collaboration with Anvil Analytical, a UK-based SaaS provider of procurement and carbon analytics. Together, they aim to help organisations gain clearer, more actionable insights across Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions. The alliance will bring together GoNetZero's strength in operational emissions data with Anvil's expertise in supplier-level and spend-based carbon analysis, which offers businesses a fuller view of their emissions profile across the value chain. "Many of our clients are looking for a single, seamless view of their emissions – across Scope 1, 2 and 3. This partnership delivers exactly that," said Soon Sze Meng, CEO at GoNetZero. "By combining GoNetZero's deep capabilities in measuring operational emissions data with Anvil's supplier-level insights, we can offer businesses the clarity and confidence they need to meet rising sustainability expectations, at scale." While Scope 3 emissions remain a complex and evolving challenge, this partnership helps address it from both ends – bringing together operational data and procurement-linked estimates and supporting more robust sustainability reporting and supply chain action. The collaboration will support organisations at various stages of their carbon journey, from establishing baselines to enhancing supplier-level visibility. "Scope 3 is often the most difficult piece of the puzzle, but it doesn't have to stay that way," said Steve Harrison, CEO at Anvil Analytical. "This partnership with GoNetZero helps turn unknowns into baselines and estimates into strategy. We're excited to work with a partner whose mission so closely aligns with ours: making data-driven sustainability accessible, practical, and scalable." With regulatory demands tightening and stakeholder scrutiny increasing, the ability to align emissions insights, even without full interoperability, offers a meaningful step forward. This collaboration will allow GoNetZero and Anvil to help companies move from fragmented data to better-informed climate decisions. As the carbon management business of Singapore-listed Sembcorp Industries, GoNetZero empowers organisations worldwide to achieve their decarbonisation goals through its digital solutions and verified environmental attributes.

Queen's champion Alcaraz in the groove ahead of Wimbledon
Carlos Alcaraz warned his Wimbledon rivals that he "feels great" on grass after the world number two defied his own expectations by winning the Queen's Club title for a second time. Alcaraz battled to a bruising 7-5, 6-7 (5/7), 6-2 victory over Czech world number 30 Jiri Lehecka in the final of the Wimbledon warm-up event on Sunday. Advertisement The 22-year-old has extended his career-best winning streak to 18 matches, putting him in the perfect position to defend his Wimbledon title. Alcaraz has won the French Open, the Rome Masters and Queen's during his blistering run. But the five-time Grand Slam champion had arrived in west London concerned about his ability to make the tricky transition from the clay-court season to the unique demands of the brief grass campaign. Underling the difficulty of the task, Alcaraz is the first player to win Roland Garros and Queen's back to back since Rafael Nadal in 2008. "I'm going to say it's really complicated, the switch from clay to grass in just few days, because that's the time I had before the tournament began, just two days of practising," Alcaraz said. Advertisement "So I came here with no expectations at all. I came here with a goal to play two or three matches, try to feel great on grass, and give myself the feedback of what I have to improve. "But I got used to the grass really quick, and I'm really proud about it. My goal was complete, and I'm not talking about lifting the trophy or making the final. "It was just to feel great, to feel really comfortable on grass once again." For a player raised on the clay courts of Spain, Alcaraz has become a formidable force on the lawns of Queen's and Wimbledon. He is only the third Spanish man to win four grass-court tournaments after Nadal and Feliciano Lopez. Advertisement "It's great to be with Rafa and Feli, such great players from our country," he said. "Hopefully now I will not stop here. Hopefully keep going." - 'I had so much hate' - A key part of Alcaraz's winning formula is his ability to switch off from tennis after tournaments to ensure he is refreshed when he returns to the court. The former world number one partied in Ibiza after his epic five-set French Open final triumph against Jannik Sinner earlier this month. He won't have time for a similar holiday before Wimbledon starts on June 30, but he plans to relax as much as possible in London before focusing on his bid for a third successive All England Club crown. Advertisement "A lot of people ask me the same question: Are you going to go back to Ibiza? I wish! As I said, I'm a player who needs days off to enjoy, days for myself to spend with my friends, with my family, just to turn off my mind," he said. "I can't go back home. I'm going to stay here in London, hopefully enjoy it a little bit, then be back and preparing Wimbledon the best way possible." While Sinner crashed out in the Halle second round against Alexander Bublik this week, Alcaraz's success at Queen's moved his record since losing to David Goffin at the Miami Masters in March to a formidable 27-1. Alcaraz believes that defeat was a transformative moment in his season. Advertisement "I had so much hate when I lost in Miami. A lot of people started to say 'What's going on with this guy. He just lost in the first round, and he didn't practice, he didn't go to the court'," Alcaraz said. "I think that was the key, just to have five, six days off, not grabbing a racquet, not stepping on the court. Just go to vacation with my family, to turn off my mind, to think what should I have done better? "I just got the joy back. I started to enjoy playing tennis again, realising what is the most important thing for me." smg/ea
