defeat to burnley consigned crystal palace to the worst start of any top division team since 192a. frank de boer was only appointed injune, but knew he was a man under pressure. the only thing that i can control, you know, is to work very hard with the boys. that's what i'm going to do until the last end. that end came quickly. his appointment was billed as evolution, but in sacking him the club took a more darwinian stance — saying, simply: de boer is not alone, though. his brief tenure evokes memories of brian clough's 44 days at leeds united in the 1970s. another former palace manager, sam allardyce, lasted just one game in charge of england. but perhaps nothing can beat leroy rosenior‘s ten minutes in charge of torquay united in 2007. roy hodgson, last seen guiding england to an early euro 2016 exit, is tipped to succeed de boer. meanwhile, one managerial veteran believes more icebergs lie ahead. i was sacked as a champion, ranieri was sacked as a champion. frank de boer is sacked after four matches. next season, something incredible will happen again. so, nothing surprises me. with few

his achievement is all the greater because he'll become only the third man to win the race and the tour derance in the same year. from madrid, here is andy swiss. ready to race into the record books, although for chris froome, this was more of a victory parade, the last largely ceremonial stage, a chance to savour his astonishing feat. this is spain's equivalent of tour de france. froome said it was "his greatest achievement. " it's moments like this now that make all the sacrifices, all the time away from home, from family, momenting like this that make it all worthwhile. obviously it's emotional. it's such an incredible feeling. froome has had to ride some 4200 miles over 4 days, but as the cyclists rolled towards madrid, a famous double was all but his. the fans lining the streets at the finish know they are about to see something very internal, a feat which will cement chris froome's place among cycling's elite. only the previous two have won the race. the finish line beckons. crystal palace have lost their first four games without losing a goal. they went down 1—0 at burnley. palace's

but they dissolve and reformed and become an institution which is the bank of cuba which becomes the de facto cuban government bank. so the north american trust company is one of these institutions that many historians, especially many cuban historians, have talked about in the cuban context, but they haven't necessarily, i mean, i think before my bookpeople haven't traced their history back to the u.s. west from the west to the west indies. and also extended the work of samuel miller jarvis, the principal of the north american trust company through the bank of cuba and into the dominican republic where he then sets up another bank which also has, is attached with a lot of controversy, attached to it. one of the main things i found with the north american trust company and the history of samuel miller jarvis is that he's an individual, kind of a quite brilliant entrepreneur who's able to really see placese where capital will soon move to. so we understand, he sees the west before becomes west is able to profit from that. he sees cuba before becomes the haven of american businesses and i

he has completed the tour de france and the tour of completed the tour de france and the tourof spainof spain, the vuelta, the double. let's speak to andy swiss. looking at the physical and mental demands, that is 4000 miles across those two races and just under four weeks between the two. it is an astonishing achievement. it is. winning the tour de france and the vuelta in the same summer is something that is virtually unheard of. only two men had previously done it, back in 1963 and 1978. as you say, it is the ultimate test of mental and physical endurance. froome told me yesterday at the finish that he had targeted this double at the start of the season. with that in mind, he didn't do too many warm—up races early in the season. some people thought he might be undercooked going into the tour de france, but he certainly wasn't. winning this double cement his place among cycling's all—time greats. what can he do next? can he hold all three grand tours at the same time, the giro d'italia? that is in may. sangakkara that's right, there is this tantalising prospect that he could, if he
