Leeds United will make a “big” profit after selling several of its key players in big-money transactions over the summer. That is according to finance expert Stefan Borson, who told Football Insider exclusively that the Championship club should be good in terms of profit and sustainability (PSR) despite being close to their permissible deficits last season. Leeds have already sold Archie Gray to Tottenham and Crysencio Summerville to West Ham this summer, earning the club approximately £55 million. Georginio Rutter appears to be on his way to Brighton, according to Football Insider, which announced on August 15 that the forward…

Liverpool began their Premier League campaign with a 2-0 victory over Ipswich Town on Saturday afternoon. On paper, travelling to a recently promoted side seemed to be an ideal first game, but it was a possible stumbling block for Arne Slot. Anything less than a win in the Dutchman’s first game would have brought unwanted attention to his team. Fortunately for Slot, the Reds’ second-half performance secured a crucial three points. It was Liverpool fans’ first genuine chance to see ‘Slot-ball’, and while the first half was nerve-racking, they will have been pleased with what they witnessed after the interval.…
Nottingham Forest began their Premier League campaign with a 1-1 draw at home to Bournemouth, on a day when the Reds lost Danilo to serious injury. Forest had the better of the first half, but Bournemouth dominated the second 45 minutes, and their equaliser was definitely merited. The Reds will now move on to Southampton next week, hoping to win all three points for the first time this season. There were some positives to the performance, and despite what some Forest fans may believe, it’s not all bad news. Nuno Espirito Santo’s job is to establish more consistency in his…
Keith Wyness, former Everton manager, has stated that it is “vital” for Nottingham Forest to remain in the city centre while negotiations over a stadium deal continue. Speaking on the latest episode of Football Insider’s Inside Track podcast, the 66-year-old, who was CEO at Goodison Park from 2004 to 2009 and now runs a football consultancy advising elite clubs, said cities should be “frightened” of an American-style “franchise model” taking hold in the English game. The BBC reported last month (8 July) that Nottingham City Council has agreed in principle to sell the area around the City Ground to Nottingham…
Tony Dorigo says he has spoken with Gretar Steinsson regarding the possibilities of fresh arrivals at Leeds United, where the Icelandic transfer guru is part of the Elland Road recruitment squad. Steinsson will be hard at work with Leeds’ new-look transfer staff, which is under pressure to make some new additions at Elland Road. The era of a one-man tyranny dictating every play is over. Following Victor Orta’s departure to Sevilla, Leeds took a new approach, initially bringing in Nick Hammond on a temporary basis. However, Hammond has remained, while Steinsson and Jordan Miles have been added. A team, rather…
Leeds United fans have already endured one summer with Willy Gnonto attempting to force his way out of Elland Road. And they may have to cope with it again in the last two weeks of the summer transfer season. Gnonto, 20, has started Leeds’ first two Championship games this season, scoring against Portsmouth in a 3-3 draw at Elland Road last week before playing a goalless 90 minutes against West Brom on Saturday (18 August). The Italy international has been reintegrated into Daniel Farke’s plans after requesting a move away from West Yorkshire last year when Everton attempted to sign…
Ipswich Town manager Kieran McKenna acknowledged Liverpool just “showed their quality” in the second half at Portman Road, where Arne Slot began his Premier League career with a 2-0 victory. Diogo Jota and Mohamed Salah scored on Saturday afternoon, giving the Reds three points on their first visit to Ipswich since February 2002. After a generally level first half, the visitors stepped up their game in the second half, missing a slew of chances before goals from Jota and Salah at 60 and 65 minutes. After the game, McKenna admitted that his team had little control over Liverpool’s superiority, saying:…
Alex Moreno appears to be open for a move this summer, with Unai Emery fully equipped at left-back following the £37.5 million signing of Ian Maatsen from Chelsea. Nottingham Forest are considering a loan transfer for Aston Villa full-back Alex Moreno. Forest have been aiming to reinforce their left-back position this summer, and Moreno is the latest candidate to emerge. The Athletic reports that Villa are aware of Forest’s interest in the Spaniard, and that the player is considering his alternatives. Villa manager Unai Emery said Moreno was likely to depart the club following his team’s 2-1 victory over West…
Nottingham Forest started their season with a draw against Bournemouth. Nuno Espirito Santo’s side got off to a great start at the City Ground after facing the worst conceivable start to the season. Forest lost Danilo to what could be a season-ending injury in the first few minutes; everyone will wish him well. Despite the extended delay as medics treated to the midfielder, Forest scored after 23 minutes when Chris Wood tapped home from inside the box. However, the second half had a lot to be desired, with the Reds surrendering their lead before the visitors scored a late equaliser.…
Leeds United has had a difficult start to the 2024-25 season, but consider Daniel Farke, who has been required to win games without four key players from the previous season. Leeds have been without Crysencio Summerville, Archie Gray, and Glen Kamara for at least two matches this season, with Georginio Rutter missing on Saturday ahead of his £40 million move to Brighton. Farke has his critics. His stubborn, slow-paced attacking tactics, as well as his hesitation in making substitutions. Even if he chose to score five minutes beyond the hour mark in Wednesday’s Carabao Cup defeat to Middlesbrough. However, Farke’s…
