Paul Robinson believes Leeds United can afford a deal for Manchester City midfielder Kalvin Phillips by unloading players already on loan. Phillips has been linked with a return to Elland Road during the summer transfer window, should the Whites be promoted to the Premier League. Even if Leeds do return to the top division, they may have to smash their transfer record to get Phillips from Manchester City. While raising the necessary finances appears to be a challenge, former Leeds goalie Robinson believes it is possible. “We understand all about PSR and FFP. “That’s something Leeds will have to be…

According to Football Insider, Nottingham Forest will receive a decision on their points deduction appeal by May 25. Speaking on the current episode of Football Insider’s Inside Track podcast, transfer correspondent Pete O’Rourke said that the Reds will find out the decision of their appeal late next month, after the Premier League season ended. Nuno Espirito Santo’s side received a four-point deduction last month for violating the Premier League’s profit and sustainability regulations over the three years preceding and including the 2022-23 season. They surpassed their permissible losses by £34.5 million and were set to get a six-point reduction, however…
Latest Nottingham Forest news: Point deductions for Reds and Toffees impact Premier League relegation race. The top executive of one of Nottingham Forest’s relegation rivals has condemned the points penalty imposed on the Reds and Everton for breaking financial standards.

The club has filed an appeal against the suspension, and the verdict is likely later this month. The Toffees received a 10-point deduction in November, which was reduced to six on appeal. A second PSR…
Leeds United has had some truly memorable players over the last few years. The Marcelo Bielsa era delivered some of the best times for a Leeds supporter in modern times, and as a result, there have been many players who have written themselves into Leeds mythology. Unfortunately, it is almost ended as some of the team’s final remaining players prepare to say their goodbyes in the coming weeks. Stuart Dallas announced his retirement on Wednesday after failing to recover from a two-year injury, and Luke Ayling and Liam Cooper are expected to follow suit this summer. Perhaps not the most…
Leeds United are nearing the limit of financial constraints and will be forced to sell senior players this summer after incurring a “devastating” £34 million deficit in 2022-23, according to Football Insider. The Yorkshire club filed its full 22-23 accounts with Companies House on Tuesday (9 April), reporting a club record turnover of £189 million. They made £74 million in player sales but lost £34 million as a result of their relegation to the Championship. It follows losses of £36.7 million and £11.1 million in their last two financial statements. Leeds have comfortably met PSR this season, but large losses…
The signing of Jean-Kevin Augustin was one of the worst decisions in Leeds United’s history, due to the financial strain and poor on-field contributions that followed. Kieran Maguire, a football financial expert, disclosed on Twitter that the Whites spent £13,715 per second for the French striker. Based on this calculation, the 26-year-old is the most expensive player in football history in terms of cost per appearance. As Leeds withdrew their appeal against £24.5 million in compensation, Maguire wrote: “Augustin is the most expensive player in football history in terms of cost per appearance.” It cost Leeds £13,715 per second. Bielsa…
Kieran Maguire has stated that Leeds United’s financial condition will be determined by 49ers Enterprises’ readiness to supply finance if the club does not gain promotion. The football finance specialist stated that there will be obstacles if Leeds is not promoted, but the 49ers can continue as usual and deal with any concerns as they arise. It was also stated that there should be no concern about profit and sustainability regulations as a result of player sales, although it would be impossible to maintain the amount of sales that Leeds experienced. Speaking to the Yorkshire Evening Post [11 April], Maguire…
David Prutton believes Leeds United will back to winning ways in the Championship when they play Blackburn Rovers this weekend. In their last two league games, the Whites lost 2-1 away at Coventry City and drew 0-0 at home against Sunderland. However, the visit of a Blackburn side beaten 5-0 away to Bristol City provides an excellent opportunity to record their first win in three games. Prutton gave his forecast for Sky Sports [11 April, 6m 35s]: “We’ve seen Leeds draw and lose their past two games, so it brings things into sharp perspective. “They face a crazily erratic Blackburn…
The Leicester City boss is not at all thrilled with the Championship organizers after Sky Sports shifted his side’s long trip to Plymouth to Friday evening. Enzo Maresca has criticised Championship organisers for Leicester City’s match calendar and what he sees as a lack of concern for players’ health. Maresca is irritated that City is making their longest trip of the season to Plymouth on a Friday night, with kickoff at Home Park barely 72 hours after another away day against Millwall. Sky Sports has moved the match up from Saturday afternoon to be televised live. City did not return…
Keith Hackett, a former FIFA official, believes “the referee failed” by not awarding Leeds United a penalty in Tuesday’s 0-0 draw with Sunderland at Elland Road. Referee Tim Robinson denied the Whites a clear second-half penalty kick following Luke O’Nien’s handball, and Daniel Farke admitted he expected an apology from the league for the decision. And, in response to the referee’s error on his personal Twitter account (11 April), Hackett believes the assistant should have intervened in that situation, but both officials failed on this occasion. “Leeds United have every right to be disappointed not to have been awarded a…
