As well as the headline appearances, Soccerex plays host to some interesting discussion forums.

Like the 'Stadia of Tomorrow' debate.

Borja Gonzalez the stadium business manager for Athletic Bilbao said the club's new San Mames stadium has nine Michelin chefs.

More controversially Ruben Reddy owner of Architects, who helped with the design for the Sochi Olympics, explained why he thinks clubs, even in the Premier League, should groundshare.

"It makes sense economically and from a sustainability standpoint."

He didn't say anything about emotionally.

To be sacked once from a job is unfortunate. For it to happen again, well, that's just cruel. 

That's the fate of Bruno Labbadia (above) who has been dismissed by Hamburg after a poor start to the Bundesliga season.

He was previously sacked by the club in 2010 and reappointed in April 2015.

Labbadia joins a select group to be sacked by the same club twice and we've picked out a few of the most notable:  

Jose Mourinho: Sacked by Chelsea in 2007 and 2015

John Toshack: Sacked by Real Madrid in 1990 and 1999

Fabio Capello: Sacked by Real Madrid in 1997 (after winning La Liga) and 2007 (after winning La Liga)

Udo Lattek: Sacked by Bayern Munich in 1975 (when they were European champions) and 1987 (when they'd reached the European Cup final)

Zdenek Zeman: Sacked by Roma in 1999 and 2013

Billy Davies: Sacked by Nottingham Forest in 2011 and 2014

They say never go back. Maybe this proves it.

BBC Sport pundits and commentators debate whether Jurgen Klopp's "electrifying" Liverpool side are genuine title contenders following a third straight Premier League win - an emphatic victory over Hull City on Saturday.

Boxing pundit Steve Bunce says he would be ‘stunned’ if IBF world heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua doesn’t meet either fellow title holder Tyson Fury or former world champion Wladimir Klitschko by the end of 2017.

Fury, 28, holds the WBA and WBO belts after beating Klitschko on points in November 2015, with their scheduled rematch postponed twice.

As you'd expect Claudio Ranieri was cool, calm and collected when fielding questions from every corner of the globe. 

He said these home games in the Champions League are special and an opportunity for the fans to remember last season's success and enjoy the experience. He warned that Porto will look to play possession football.  

Marc Albrighton said the experienced players in the squad are vital for huge games like this and the team draw on their experience. 

There's always colour with Claudio; as the Portuguese interpreter repeated one of the answers for the reporters in the room from English he got the name of the team wrong in the original answer; multi-lingual Ranieri corrected him, cue much laughter. Classy Claudio shines once again. 

Midfielder Moussa Sissoko was subbed off after 70 minutes of Saturday's 2-1 win at Middlesbrough.

West Ham owners David Gold and David Sullivan have written a message to the club's fans after they lost their fourth successive league match on Sunday.

The Hammers lost 3-0 to Southampton and are 18th in the Premier League after six games.

The owners said that the team has been hampered by injuries and "key decisions going against them".

They said in a statement:, external "The facts are there for everyone to see. We know we are letting in too many goals and not scoring enough, but be assured we will sort the problems out.

"But we are not going to make excuses and know that Slaven Bilic and his team will be working even harder on the training ground this week to get things right.

"We will turn our season around."

Fifa has defended its decision to scrap an anti-racism taskforce, saying it had completed the work it set out to do.

The Fifa Taskforce Against Racism and Discrimination was set up in 2013 to develop recommendations for tackling the issue.

Critics have questioned the dismantling of the group, saying racism is ongoing.

But Fifa general secretary Fatma Samoura said: "The taskforce had a specific mandate, which it has fully fulfilled."

So what team news has Claudio got for us?

Well, Kasper Schmeichel may be back to face Porto as he recovers from a groin injury.

"Schmeichel trained normally today (pictured above). Let me think tonight. You know I decide the night before to see if he's available tomorrow," says Ranieri.

“Slimani good to play tomorrow. He's a goalscorer against Porto. I'm sure it would be a very good threat to them."

Before facing Porto, Claudio Ranieri says he has been tapping into the experience and knowledge of Leicester's record signing Islam Slimani, who joined this summer from Portuguese side Sporting Lisbon.

"I spoke with Slimani about Porto. We have a lot of respect for Porto. They're more experienced in Europe. They play so many matches," the Italian says.

"They are used to staying at the top of their league. They won six titles. We respect a lot but we try to win. Also Porto try to win."

Marc Albrighton says Leicester are loving their Champions League experience and want more of it.

"In Brugge it was a surreal feeling to hear the theme tune. It's special and adds more spice to the game," he says.

"It makes you want to go further and want more.”  

Claudio Ranieri seconds that, adding: "To play in the Champions League is special. We fight. Our fans be sure we'll fight until the end."

More from Marc Albrighton, as he looks ahead to Tuesday's visit of Porto:

"Three points is the aim. We got off to a great start but the bread and butter is at home and you have to win your home games to progress.

"I wouldn't say Brugge was an easy game. You don't play an easy game in this competition. Credit to us how we played out there.

"Porto will be as tough. We've got to be organised and compact. Going into this game we've done our work and what we need to know."

Marc Albrighton scored Leicester's opener in the 3-0 win over Club Brugge two weeks ago and is relishing the Champions League experience.

Well, you would, wouldn't you?  

"It's such a fantastic achievement to be playing in this competition. It's surreal but it'll live with me forever,” the midfielder says.  

"Our focus hasn't been on this until after the United game finished. These are the sort of games every footballer wants to play in.”
