Neil Warnock managed 19 different clubs over his amazing career, including a 14-month stay at Leeds United from 2012 to 2013. Prior to Massimo Cellino’s arrival at Elland Road, Warnock managed Leeds for 63 games, during which time Luciano Becchio, Luke Varney, Rodolph Austin, and Tom Leeds played in defence. For Leeds fans, this is the type of Championship era that has faded into obscurity. Finishes in the bottom half of the table remain consistent. Warnock led Leeds to 13th in the Championship before leaving in 2013. Ross McCormack was also a member of Warnock’s League Cup squad that advanced…
Unlike his former Manchester United teammate Gary Neville, Paul Scholes believes Liverpool will be a major contender in this season’s Premier League title fight. Paul Scholes believes Liverpool will compete for the Premier League title this season, saying he sees only one weakness in the Reds’ roster. Arne Slot’s squad has had a promising start to the season, winning four of their five league games, with their only defeat coming against Nottingham Forest. After defeating Bournemouth 3-0 on Saturday, they are now trapped between Manchester City and Arsenal in the table, with both teams drawing at the Etihad a day…
According to reports from Brazil, Nottingham Forest defender Murillo is being considered for his first-ever call-up to Dorival Junior’s national team. Murillo’s qualities have been noticed by elite European teams, and his national team is now turning their attention to the Nottingham Forest central defender. Last season, the 22-year-old’s performances under Steve Cooper and Nuno Espirito Santo helped the team secure Premier League safety. Now, the £11 million signing has returned to form, and he, along with new partner Nikola Milenkovic, has helped the team preserve its unbeaten start. Displaying his ability to play at an advanced level may only…
Nottingham Forest were active in the transfer market this summer, but they took a more cautious approach to the transactions that were completed. A total of 11 new players were recruited to the squad, with two of them – Marko Stamenic and David Carmo – joining Olympiacos on a season-long loan. The average age of the roster has been reduced, with a focus on players who appear to be younger and have a high resale value. The major component in this summer’s recruitment effort was that everyone seemed to be on the same page. Forest was able to shed almost…
Leeds United’s transfer window activity ensures that Daniel Farke has two or more players for most positions in his 4-2-3-1 system, but it also prevents any U21 gems from being promoted. Eight summer arrivals, including Joe Rodon, Largie Ramazani, and Ao Tanaka, have given Farke a Leeds squad that not only has Premier League talent, but also plenty of depth in most positions. Another centre-back, possibly a no.10, could have neatly topped off a solid window in which Farke and the Leeds transfer team were compelled to rebuild the squad. However, in some situations, more than two players compete for…
Leeds United endured a tough summer transfer window following numerous high-profile exits at Elland Road. Daniel Farke lost key players Crysencio Summerville, Georginio Rutter, Archie Gray, and Glen Kamara, and while more than £100 million in fees were raised, the quantity of new signings left the manager wanting more. The Whites finally signed Largie Ramazani, Manor Solomon, Ao Tanaka, and Isaac Schmidt in the final week of the transfer window, but some of the missed opportunities frustrated fans. Jonathan Rowe was clearly one of those players, having raised some eyebrows at Norwich City before joining Ligue 1 club Marseille. It…
Nottingham Forest loanee Omar Richards has received acclaim from the Portuguese media for his performance for Rio Ave over the weekend. During the summer transfer window, the 26-year-old joined the Liga Portugal club on a season-long loan, with Evangelos Marinakis’ ownership in Rio Ave assisting the deal. O Jogo covered the game between Rio Ave and Estoril over the weekend, and the Nottingham Forest-owned defender was one of the standouts. Richards made his third start for the Portuguese club in the 2-2 draw, and he assisted his team to a point. The Portuguese media outlet also praised Marios Vrousai, who…
Gary Neville has accused the Premier League of acting as ‘bullies’ and claims the organization is ‘entitled’ and ‘selfish’ amid the ongoing debate over the prospective establishment of an independent football regulator. Gary Neville has accused the Premier League of acting as ‘bullies’ in the face of the Football Governance Bill, which would establish an independent football regulator under the new Labour government. Following the European Super League fiasco in 2021, support for the establishment of an independent regulator began to grow. The recently-deposed Conservative government proposed ideas, and since taking office, Labour has pressed forward with the notion, claiming…
Birmingham City hired Wayne Rooney and wound up in League One. Leeds United have recovered nicely from a difficult summer, picking up 11 points out of a possible 18. Saturday’s 2-0 victory over bottom club Cardiff City propelled them back into the Championship top six. However, unrest persists, with some United fans dissatisfied with Daniel Farke’s playing style. The German is under pressure to deliver promotion at the second attempt after failing in the play-offs the first time around. Former Everton manager Keith Wyness has urged the Whites against dismissing Farke, citing Birmingham City’s decision to fire John Eustace last…
