The football season is just around the corner and it’s a fascinating prospect already.

Managers up and down the country and starting to put their own heavy stamp on their new-look squads.

Pep Guardiola now has his squad on a strict diet at Manchester City.

It looks like the Yaya Toure pizza deliveries are going to have to stop and if the players don’t hit their weight, then they don’t train with the first team.

How on earth, when people are being paid six figures a week, that isn’t a standard expectation I have no idea.

Too many squads have players who are just given the soft treatment with managers just wanting to be their mates.

If I was a manger and paying someone six figures a week, they wouldn’t be allowed to drink alcohol through the season and, nutritionally, I would want to be in control of everything they ate.

These are athletes getting paid fortunes, so why not?

When you look at the intensity of Chris Froome and the Sky team winning the Tour de France, and the (Sir Chris) Brailsford theory of marginal gains, football is no different.

I was delighted to see Jurgen Klopp send home Mamadou Sakho from the tour of the States for a lack of respect.

He is injured, yet he couldn’t even be bothered to turn up on time for some flights. If ever there was complete arrogance which needed nipping in the bud this was it, and Klopp has done the necessary.

With a week to go to the Skybet Championship season and two to the Premier League, it’s looking like it’s going to be one of the most exciting seasons ever.

An array of top managers, a whole host of new players in new-look squads – it’s absolutely fascinating.

The final golf major of the season is under way – the US PGA Championship.

All eyes will be on the likes of Rory McIlroy and Phil Mickelson at Baltusrol, in addition of course to Henryk Stenson after his incredible win at The Open.

That 63 in the final round at Royal Troon was nothing short of incredible.

However, the man still grabbing the major headlines is ‘Beef’.

Andrew Johnston had more people at his press conference than anyone else, and he is a bit of a breath of fresh air to the golfing world.

But the most important thing for him as a player is to make sure he doesn’t become a freak.

He needs a good tournament in the US to cement his credentials as one of the top players in the world after his eighth-place finish in The Open.

You can do all the fun things, have a good laugh and mess with the fans – that’s all great.

But as he says, there is a job to do, and ‘Beef’ has to get back to doing that.
