Liverpool fans know Jurgen Klopp will leave at the end of the season, but will Mohamed Salah follow suit? The 31-year-old’s current contract expires in 2025, therefore he must make a decision about his future this summer: sign a new agreement or go. Given Saudi Arabia’s presence in the background, it casts a pall over Liverpool and the possibility of their star player leaving. Despite a drop in form in recent months, Mohamed Salah has scored 18 Premier League goals and provided ten assists. That just shows how crucial he is to the club’s cause, so you’d have to be…
Latest Nottingham Forest news: Nuno Espirito Santo responds to the Reds’ rejected appeal for player spending breaches. Nottingham Forest’s head coach, Nuno Espirito Santo, argues that the club must learn from its points deduction for violating financial rules. Without the four-point deduction for violating Profitability and Sustainability Rules, the Reds would be safe from relegation by now. However, their unsuccessful appeal against their sentence puts them three points above the drop zone with two games remaining. Forest was found to have exceeded their maximum allowable losses of £61 million over a rolling three-year period by £34.5 million. Nuno hopes that…
Daniel Farke could make two changes to Leeds United’s starting eleven for their Championship playoff semi-final against Norwich. The Whites had lost four of their past six games and enter the match after a 2-1 setback to Southampton at Elland Road on the penultimate day of the season, while Norwich secured their playoff spot despite a 1-0 loss to Birmingham.

Championship teams have reached an agreement that might assist Leeds United financially, in a move that has perplexed the Premier League. The Daily Mail claimed [8 May] that second-tier clubs can now lose an additional £2.5 million per year. This means Championship clubs can incur a £41.5 million loss over three years. According to Mike Keegan, this was done to replace a “Covid add back” because of the cost of living crisis. Premier League teams have expressed surprise that the EFL is still demanding a settlement in a “financial redistribution war”. How might the safety net affect Leeds United? According…
