Phil Hay has alleged that Daniel Farke may have been “bluffing” regarding Patrick Bamford’s injury before of Leeds United’s playoff game against Norwich. Farke declared the Whites striker out of both legs of the semi-final due to a patella tendon issue, despite the fact that the first injury was regarded as a bruise and was not considered serious. However, during an appearance on the Square Ball podcast (16 May), Hay was questioned if Farke was bluffing to surprise Norwich ahead of the second leg, and the Athletic journalist admitted that the scenario was “weird”. “He [Farke] didn’t sound like he…

TNT Sports commentator Darren Fletcher has expressed his concerns regarding Nottingham Forest. The Reds have limped to the finish line this season and should now remain in the Premier League. Only a 12-goal difference between Forest and Luton on the last day could see the Reds relegated from here. Forest will make judgments on a number of players this summer, and the issue will be to ensure they are ready to go next season. Fletcher has openly stated that he is quite displeased with one aspect of this season and has challenged Forest to improve. Darren Fletcher discusses his concerns…
Henry Winter has explained why he admires Nottingham Forest’s head coach Nuno Espirito Santo. The Reds hired the 50-year-old in December, after electing to end Steve Cooper’s tenure at the City Ground. It’s been a difficult few months for Espirito Santo, but Forest has at least hobbled towards Premier League survival. Forests are not completely safe yet, but they will be unless a mathematical miracle occurs on the final day of the campaign. Winter has now stated why he likes Espirito Santo and believes Forest is in good hands. Henry Winter reveals what he likes about Nuno Espirito Santo. The…
Leeds United have set a £14.5 million price tag on one of their out-on-loan players following a successful season in Europe away from Elland Road. Victor Orta’s relegation loan provision enabled a number of Leeds players to go without the club being able to prevent it. Eight senior players took advantage, departing Leeds for higher-level clubs. Rasmus Kristensen and Diego Llorente relocated to Roma, while Max Wober, Brenden Aaronson, and Robin Koch moved to Germany. Marc Roca returned to Spain, while Jack Harrison and Luis Sinisterra joined the Premier League. Leeds are optimistic that Wober, Harrison, Roca, and Llorente have…
If the Whites are promoted, the 49ers may sell Leeds United striker Joel Piroe in the summer, with Southampton’s Che Adams being considered as a replacement. Leeds need a win over Norwich City tomorrow night to secure a place at Wembley Stadium, where they are one game away from promotion to the Premier League. Jordan Miles will undoubtedly have a busy summer as head of recruitment, regardless of level, but plans for the top flight may already be in the works. Leeds reportedly intend to trade Joel Piroe if promoted. According to TEAMtalk, Leeds are planning to bolster their striker…
Leeds United will welcome Norwich City at Elland Road on Thursday in the second leg of their Championship play-off semi-final, with an interesting problem for the managers only four days after the first match. In Sunday’s draw, Daniel Farke praised the fluidity of Leeds United’s attacking play, led by Georginio Rutter, against Norwich City’s tall and powerful defenders. The German will be aware that David Wagner can read his post-match comments, but unless Thursday’s visitors pump agility serum into their centre-backs, they will have little control over the movement. That is, of course, unless the Canaries commit to a low…
Liverpool are expected to be busy during the summer transfer window as the Reds’ administration and FSG want to herald in a new era at Anfield. With Jurgen Klopp departing Liverpool in the summer and Arne Slot taking over, there is a lot of work to be done to ensure continuity at Anfield. Many elite players have been linked with a summer move to Anfield, including one whom Slot knows well from their time in Dutch football. Teun Koopmeiners, an Atalanta midfielder, is the subject of a fresh story from Italy, which comes as Liverpool is interested in him. Tuttosport’s…
Nottingham Forest are at a critical point, with the future of the club at the City Ground hanging in the balance. Nottingham Forest have been told that any decision to leave the City Ground could result in the same punishment as Everton for violating the Premier League’s Profit and Sustainability Rules (PSR). Talk of expanding the present site began in 2019, but owner Evangelos Marinakis now looks to be set on moving to ‘a bigger facility’. It’s a heated discussion, and Forest may easily end themselves on the wrong side of it if they get it wrong, cautions football financial…
Dermot Gallagher, a former Premier League referee, has given his thoughts on the decision not to award Wilfried Gnonto a penalty in Leeds United’s draw with Norwich City. The two sides battled it out in a tense first leg of the play-off semi-finals at Carrow Road, with neither team managing to break through to advance to Thursday’s showdown. Daniel Farke pulled off a tactical surprise by moving Archie Gray into a midfield three, an obvious attempt to stabilize Leeds and ensure they did not return to Elland Road trailing. However, this adjustment resulted in very little goalmouth action for either…
Leeds United’s summer transfer window is only a month away from starting again. However, between now and then, Leeds still has a lot of work to do to choose which division they’ll play in next season. The Whites meet Norwich City in the second leg of their Championship semi-final on Thursday, and a win would put them within 90 minutes of returning to the Premier League. If Leeds were to get promoted, they would face a far more intriguing summer as they seek to create a squad capable of retaining the club’s top-flight status. A loss against the Canaries, or…
