kieran: yes, absolutely. it has obviously been an interesting period since the boj finally gave up on that. the market peaked two days later and now we are in this period where basically the bank of japan has very little control over where the yen will go given that the rate differential versus the u.s. is going to persist. so, the intervention, while it has been pretty effective in drawing a line in the sand at 160, most likely we will see that get tested again. and the period for the yen to stop weakening will be when u.s. trades start to get cut in the differential changes. the market peaked a couple of days after the end of --. we are in a period right now of full-year results, next year's guidance and heading into the ag m season. it has become a stock pickers market in japan. and we are looking forward to seeing additional push on the corporate governance and restructuring and et cetera through the agm season. so we are ready to add on weakness in japan at the moment. haidi: haidi: i wanted to get your

they were playing in the third tier only last season, but under young manager kieran mckenna — on a budgettheir nearest rivals — back—to—back promotions beckoned. time to finish with a flourish. hutchinson able to skip away... ..and score! now the party could spring into life. after two decades away, including relegation, administration, years and years of frustration... ipswich town are promoted. ..emotions overflowed at portman road. ipswich join championship winners, leicester, standing shoulder to shoulder with some of the giants of the english game next season. it's elation. it's relief as well, to be honest, because we know we put ourselves in an incredible position, and for everyone else really, you just want them to taste this and you want to get it over the line. so it's relief, it's pride, it's so many emotions, but all positive. and in this sliver of suffolk, the view from the top tier will be one to savour. ben croucher, bbc news. celebrations are probably still ongoing in ipswich — we heard from the manager in ben's report, now let's get some more reaction. it is what dreams a

after achieving success of promotions and secruing top—flight football, kieran mckenna is in talks withnt. he could still be staying put. well, having triumphed in what is often described as "the richest game in football" southampton�*s return to the premier league has been celebrated at their home ground. just to warn you, there are some flashing images. the club held a promotion party at the stadium, head coach russell martin and the team showing off the play—off trophy. fans were treated to live music and appearances from former southampton players — and they clearly enjoyed every minute. the best day of our lives up. unbelievable from start to finish. we've come in since before children. _ so it'sjust everything for us. we've been here. unbelievable. never experience everything like that it would i— probably never will. i be interesting to watch. bring it on, basically. absolutely, bring it on! manchester united defender maya le tissier has been called into the england squad for the upcoming european championship qualifiers. she moves up from the standby list to replace nieve charle

very exciting, they have european football to look forward to so i would think that somebody such as kieranswich town, a young progressive manager will be on their raider and not necessarily convinced that di serbi would be. i know he recently left brighton and hove and people may be trying to put two and two together. but whoever does go in at stamford bridge is going to obviously have to try and better what pochettino has achieved this time. well under pochettino�*s time at chelsea, the club spent more than £400 million on players — and in his 51 games in charge, he managed to win 27 of those — with 14 losses, and 10 draws. the west london side spent the majority of the season in the bottom half of the table, but as ian said just now — they massively improved towards the end, finishing the season sixth — but still a huge 28 points behind eventual champions manchester city. they could still find themselves in the europa league next season. whilst there has been speculation over pochettino�*s future, the news still comes as a shock to many fans. i am surprised and a bit disappointed as well

pochettino left chelsea by mutual consent on tuesday and ipswich town's kieran mckenna is among the favouritesr. pochettino�*s departure took many by surprise, not least former chelsea midfielder cesc fabregas, who spent some time with pochettino before their last game against bournemouth. i didn't have the feeling that this was going to happen. just looking around and the feeling that you have around the place, ifelt that it was nice and easy. yeah, i was surprised about the decision, to be fair. i felt that there was no real connection between players getting there, the patterns were more clear, they were not changing so much like the beginning in terms of tactics. there was quite a good stability, i would say, in terms of style and game plan, etc. good results, good dynamics, the fans seemed to be getting on with the players, with maurizio. so, yeah, we'll have to now wait and see what happens next. a call up for liverpool's teenage forward ben doak is the big headline from the announcement of scotland's squad for euro 202a. he's uncapped and hasn't played since december, but the 18—year—ol

let's talk about this with kieran pe typically stands for value creation what does this look like intball >> i think what the pe model is doing is looking for growth opportunities. i think there is a belief, especially from u.s. pe investors, that the soccer market is hugely under valued when you compare its popularity to that of other sports. they have the skill sets to de-risk football clubs and competitions and to improve revenue streams and ticketing and broadcasting deals and the sponsorships and commercial partners you have organizations such as the premier league who broadcast to 197 countries around the world. that is a huge amount of eyeballs >> what kind of target returns can lps expect in football teams? is there a certain track record here that is representative of pe investment in football? what can you tell us is it value creating or value destructing? >> i think it is an element of both with the recent investments, new owners are coming in and taking t a look at the cost base of clubs. i feel if they spend smart, the track record is bad with the spending big there's th
