Unai Emery knows Champions League top-eight spot is possible for Aston Villa

OLD TRAFFORD chiefs are locked in a blame game over who was responsible for their summer shambles. Manchester United have become a laughing stock over their treatment of former boss Erik ten Hag . The club’s recruitment strategy has also faced scrutiny following another summer splurge of nearly £180million. Red Devils co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe and Co were set to get rid of Ten Hag after the FA Cup final. They ended up extending his contract and employing a new coaching team around him following their Wembley win over City. But the Dutchman was axed after just nine Prem games this season with United languishing down in 14th in the table. READ MORE FOOTBALL NEWS The former Ajax chief’s staff were also dismissed — all with sizeable pay-offs. It cost around £15m to sack Ten Hag alone, while they had to shell out another £10m to bring Portuguese Ruben Amorim in from Sporting Lisbon , including an extra fee so that he could cut short his notice period. It has been a bumpy start for Ratcliffe, who bought a 27.7 per cent stake in United in February and was charged with running the football side of the club.

NFL Week 17 picks: Odds and predictions for every matchupSabrina Ionescu is joining Unrivaled as the new 3-on-3 league’s final player for this season. The Liberty star guard who helped New York win the first championship in franchise history earlier this year signed a historic agreement on Monday. She’ll join the Phantom BC that made a trade Saturday night to acquire Natasha Cloud. Ionescu will also be playing with Brittney Griner, Marina Mabrey, Katie Lou Samuelson and Satou Sabally. Ionescu was teammates with Sabally at Oregon. The 27-year-old Ionescu is recovering from a procedure she had earlier this month on her right thumb to stabilize the ulnar collateral ligament. She posted about the procedure on social media saying: “Getting my thumb fixed was quite the bday present.” Ionescu sustained the injury during the WNBA Finals and it wasn’t known she was hurt until after the Liberty won the title. She went 1 for 19 in the deciding Game 5 against Minnesota but found other ways to help the team win, with eight assists and seven rebounds. It has been a busy year for the former Oregon great, who also got married — to former Oregon Ducks football player Hroniss Grasu — and earned an Olympic gold medal. -- Doug Feinberg | AP Basketball Writer

Wall Street analysts rerated Salesforce, Inc CRM after it announced that a second generation of its Agentforce technology, capable of tackling questions in Salesforce’s Slack communications app, will be available in February 2025. The company also announced plans to hire 2,000 artificial intelligence-focused salespeople. Needham analyst Scott Berg maintained Salesforce with a Buy and a $375 price target. BofA Securities analyst Brad Sills reiterated a Buy on Salesforce with a price target of $440. Goldman Sachs analyst Kash Rangan maintained a Buy rating on Salesforce with a price target of $400. Truist analyst Terry Tillman reiterated a Buy rating on Salesforce with a price target of $400. Wedbush analyst Daniel Ives maintained Salesforce with an Outperform and a $425 price target. Also Read: McCormick Eyes $1 Billion Deal To Acquire Duke’s Mayonnaise Maker Needham: Berg virtually attended Salesforce’s Agentforce 2.0 release, coming away optimistic regarding updated Agentforce deal metrics (1000+ deals closed versus 200+ as of third-quarter) along with the expanded capabilities of the new platform. Compared to version 1.0, which focuses on Sales and Service-oriented support, 2.0 looks to help internal processes and enterprise information gathering by leveraging Slack as the central Agent “hub” to pull information together across enterprise platforms. Agentforce 2.0 highlights the Halo effect with Mulesoft and Data Cloud even more than Gen 1. Enhancements to the Atlas Reasoning Engine will further expand usage into more complex use cases. With an estimated TAM expansion of over $740 billion through AI spending, Agentforce seems poised to drive incremental top-line growth, which Berg noted as more tilted toward fiscal 2027. Berg projected fourth-quarter revenue of $10.04 billion and adjusted EPS of $2.60. BofA Securities: Sills attended Salesforce’s Agentforce 2.0 launch virtually on Tuesday. The analyst is encouraged by the platform’s progress, which is now embedded into sales, marketing, Slack, and others. Also, the company is expanding the scope of Agentforce to integrate data for workflow across key third-party applications. Finally, Agentforce 2.0 bolsters the AI platform with enhanced reasoning via the Atlas engine. Sills remains bullish on the agent opportunity for Salesforce in fiscal 2026 and the longer term. The analyst estimates Agentforce could provide incremental 1%-2% points of revenue growth in fiscal 2026 and 2027 each. The stock remains his top pick. Goldman Sachs: Rangan rerated on the back of Salesforce’s Agentforce 2.0 event, which continues to amplify the company’s technical leadership. The analyst returned incrementally positive on Salesforce’s execution of its Gen-AI product roadmap with the development of enhanced capabilities within months of Agentforce’s release in September and delivery of quick-to-value productivity benefits. With Agentforce 2.0 seamlessly connecting workflows with a knowledge graph across the entire product suite, Rangan noted Salesforce further solidifying its value proposition beyond a traditional tool. With over 1,000 Agentforce deals closed and thousands more in the pipeline, Rangan highlighted early proof points supporting Salesforce’s product-market fit and long-term growth durability. These deals indicate that Salesforce is well-positioned to capture a share in the growing digital labor market as the proliferation of Gen-AI augments human capacity. While this might take time to drive meaningful revenue contribution, Rangan noted near-term tailwinds stemming from macro improvement, IT budget unlock as AI spending moves into the application layer, Data Cloud’s added contribution as it approaches ~$1 billion, and cyclical improvements in Marketing and Commerce Cloud. Truist: Tillman virtually attended Salesforce’s Agentforce 2.0 unveiling event. Along with several product roadmap updates, the company has disclosed closing 1,000 paid Agentforce deals. Recall that Salesforce signed 200 Agentforce deals in the third quarter of 2025, which Tillman noted was approximately quadruple the company’s initial expectations. Other highlights included notable internal efficiency stats with Agentforce, currently available Agent skills updates, and a fulsome roadmap, including several critical upcoming updates to Salesforce’s Atlas Reasoning Engine. Tillman noted that the company maintains an improved pace of innovation with Agentforce capabilities and anticipates major releases through the calendar of 2025, including Agentforce 3.0 in May. Tillman noted that the premium on revenue versus peers is well justified given that the company offers an attractive balance of growth at scale and expanding profitability and cash flow, all with multiple capital allocation avenues setting the stage for consistent long-term shareholder returns. Also, the potential for growth acceleration while continuing to expand margins bodes well for potential upside and higher valuation implications Wedbush: The company’s agents are built to handle routine use cases so humans can focus on handling difficult situations with significantly higher resolution on sales and services issues, with ~5k conversations being passed to humans out of ~32k conversations per week. With the AI Revolution entering the software phase heading into 2025, Salesforce is well positioned to capture its fair share of market expansion as the AI monetization phase will catalyze Salesforce’s development over the next 12 to 18 months with a $7 trillion digital labor market opportunity on the horizon for Salesforce. Ives noted Salesforce is a clear second derivative beneficiary of the AI Revolution that could add ~$80 per share to the Salesforce story as this monetization story takes shape over the next 12 to 18 months with CEO Marc Benioff leading the charge and this new era of AI growth. Ives projected fourth-quarter revenue of $10.01 billion and adjusted EPS of $2.60. Price Action: CRM stock traded higher by 0.23% to $351.77 at the last check on Wednesday.

This Stock Is a Game Changer! Unlock Massive Gains NowJustin Herbert threw three touchdowns as the Los Angeles Chargers booked their place in the NFL playoffs with a blowout 40-7 win at the New England Patriots on Saturday. The Patriots, who suffered a sixth straight loss, were booed off the field by the remaining fans at Gillette Stadium as they fell to 3-13 on the season. But for the Chargers it was a job well done as the confident Herbert ensured a second post-season place in three seasons with another accomplished quarterback display. Herbert completed 28 of 38 passes and threw for 281 yards against a Patriots defense that caused few issues against the passing game. The Chargers took the lead late in the first quarter thanks to a beautiful 23-yard Herbert pass, superbly caught by the diving Derius Davis. After a Cameron Dicker field goal early in the second, Herbert found rookie receiver Ladd McConkey at the back of the end-zone with a pinpoint pass to make it 17-0. Patriots rookie quarterback Drake Maye had been forced out of the game in the first quarter after suffering a hit to the head by Cam Hart when running down the sideline. But Maye, who had been cleared to return for the second quarter, showed he was in good shape with a fine 36-yard touchdown pass to DeMario Douglas to give the Patriots some hope. But the Chargers ran away with the game with Herbert again connecting with McConkey, this time with a 40-yard pass down the middle and a two-yard rush from J.K Dobbins in the fourth completed the rout. Herbert's performance meant he set a new record for the most passing yards in the first five years of an NFL career -- passing Peyton Manning's tally of 20,618 yards. But the quarterback, who has yet to win a playoff game, was quick to give credit for his achievement to his team-mates. "It says so much about the guys we had catching those passes and a great offensive line giving me the time to get the ball off and (the defense) getting me the ball back," he said. "I couldn't have done it without them," he added. The Denver Broncos can clinch a place in the playoffs when they face the Bengals in Cincinnati later on Saturday. sev/nf

Photo: The Canadian Press People are silhouetted at the Cypress Mountain Lookout in West Vancouver, B.C., while viewing fog blanketing the Metro Vancouver area, on Nov. 26, 2023. THE CANADIAN PRESS/Darryl Dyck The Business Council of British Columbia has launched an awareness campaign to counter the province's rising outward migration to Alberta. The business advocacy group says its "Stay with B.C." campaign is placing advertisements on billboards and transit stops, as well as online, in cities such as Vancouver, Victoria, Kelowna and Prince George, urging residents to think twice before moving to Alberta for economic or other reasons. Council president Laura Jones says the campaign is inspired by the "Alberta is Calling" campaign launched in 2022, targeting skilled workers in other provinces with financial incentives and promises of better affordability at a comparable lifestyle. Data released by Statistics Canada in April, say B.C. lost more people than it gained in interprovincial migration in 2023 for the first time in more than a decade, with a net loss of 8,624 people to other Canadian jurisdictions. Alberta reported a gain of 55,000 — the biggest interprovincial increase recorded since tracking began in 1972 — and it was the most popular Canadian destination for those leaving B.C. Jones says that while the "Stay with B.C." campaign "doesn't have all the answers" on stemming the population flow, it has the potential to spur conversations among people who are considering a move. The advertisements are designed to look like an incoming cellphone call or an online dating profile from Alberta, with messages prompting readers to reconsider answering or "swiping right" — a term for accepting someone on a dating app. "We've all heard those Alberta's Calling ads, and also Invest Alberta is being pretty assertive right now and they've opened an office in British Columbia," Jones says. "So, we thought this would be a way to put the focus on a strong economy while having a little fun. "It's a very serious topic," she says. "We want young people to see a future in the province. But that doesn't mean we can't have a little bit of fun to get people's attention on the importance of a strong economy." Alberta's third-quarter population report released this week says the province recorded Canada's highest interprovincial migration gains for the ninth straight quarter, adding 3,170 more people from B.C. than it lost in the other direction. Only Ontario had a higher net-loss of residents with 4,369 for the three-month period. Premier David Eby had said B.C. is tackling the issue of affordability and economic opportunities for skilled labour "head on," but also noted that the province did see an overall population increase of more than 178,000 in 2023 that was fuelled by international migration. Morgan Westcott, associate dean of marketing programs at the B.C. Institute of Technology, says it will be up to government and stakeholders to address affordability in the province, but there is more the province can do with branding to attract and keep talent from moving to Alberta. Westcott says B.C. has been very effective in marketing itself as a tourism destination, and the province's natural beauty should be leveraged more, not only for getting visitors, but as a selling point for skilled labour. "I think sometimes what we're missing in B.C. is this singularity of brand, and of voice, and of purpose in our campaigns," she says. "Because if it's an attractive place to visit for a weekend, it should be an attractive place to settle and to invest and to build your future. And sometimes I think we really miss an opportunity when we treat them as two separate things." Westcott notes that the "Alberta is Calling" campaign places lifestyle as one of its three pillars for attracting skilled labour, alongside career opportunities and affordability, with all three factors forming the foundation of the Alberta brand. "I'm a Vancouver born-and-raised person, so I'm very biased, but it is fairly spectacular what we have available to us, and it is on a different level," she says of B.C.'s access to nature and quality of life. "(Alberta) is leveraging some very similar things, and yet at the same time, I think we do have different cities that are vibrant in different ways," she says. "I don't know how you tackle the affordability piece — and I say that as a life-long Vancouverite — and maybe it's not about that. Maybe it's about that — something that's this exceptional — does come at a cost." Jones says the business council will be tracking future population numbers and economic indicators to see if its advertisements have moved the needle in keeping talent in B.C., and her team is already thinking about the next phase of the campaign. "We've got lots and lots of opportunity to create those high-paying jobs, and we just need to lean into making sure that all of our sectors can be thriving," she says.

A Kanye West Deposition From 2021 Surfaced and It’s a Wild RideWhere to Invest Your $7,000 TFSA Contribution in 2025Port Vale and Crewe Alexandra will be looking to claim derby bragging rights when they face off at Vale Park on Monday. The hosts are currently leading the way in League Two , while the visitors are sitting five points adrift in fifth position. Port Vale are making a real effort to secure an immediate return to League One after winning 10, drawing three and losing three of their 16 league games this season. The Valiants put together a run of five consecutive league victories before their winning run was brought to an end with a 1-0 away defeat to Gillingham earlier this month. After seeing his side fall to a narrow loss, Darren Moore would have been pleased with his team's response in their recent outing against Morecambe, with Ethan Chislett netting an 83rd-minute to seal a 1-0 away victory. Having competed in back-to-back away league games, Port Vale will return to the home comforts of Vale Park, where they have avoided defeat in their previous five league matches (W4, D1). The Valiants will be looking to continue their impressive record against Crewe after winning all of their last four league meetings by a 1-0 scoreline. Like their hosts, Crewe are firmly in the promotion picture after winning eight, drawing four and losing three of their 15 league matches this season. Lee Bell 's side have embarked on an impressive run of form since suffering their most recent defeat in the fourth tier in September, with their last seven league matches yielding four wins and three draws. Last time out, The Railwaymen recorded a 2-0 home victory over Notts County, courtesy of a Shillow Tracey effort and a Ryan Cooney penalty. After extending their unbeaten home run to seven league games, Crewe will know head on their travels for Monday's derby clash, knowing that a win would be enough to move them into second place and just two points behind Port Vale. However, that may be easier said than done due to the fact they have not beaten the Valiants since they recorded a 1-0 away victory in August 2017. Port Vale remain without the services of captain Ben Garrity , who has missed the last four matches through injury. George Byers , Mitch Clark and Kyle John have all returned to training, but it remains to be seen whether any of the trio will be ready for Monday's fixture. Defender Jesse Debrah is back in contention after he was forced to sit out the victory over Morecambe due to a knock. As for the visitors, they are unable to call upon Connor Thomas , Kane Hemmings and Nathan Robinson due to injury. Forward Chris Long will also miss the derby clash after being sent off in the closing stages of the win over Notts County. Adrien Thibaut is set to feature on the Crewe bench after returning from international duty with the Republic of Ireland Under-21 side. Port Vale possible starting lineup: Ripley; Debrah, Heneghan, Hall; Cover, Sang, Croasdale, Grant; Chislett, Curtis; Stockley Crewe Alexandra possible starting lineup: Marschall; Connolly, Demetriou, Williams; Cooney, Holicek, Sanders, Tabiner, Conway; Tracey, Bogle Port Vale will be looking to make full use of home advantage after winning four of their previous five league matches at Vale Park. However, we think they will have to settle for a draw when they face a Crewe side that have avoided defeat in seven consecutive league games.
