Leeds United, Southampton, West Bromwich Albion, and Norwich City compete in the Championship play-offs, with promotion to the Premier League at stake.

Even if Nottingham Forest stay up this season, sources tell Football Insider that they may have to compete with other clubs to keep defender Murillo. On the latest episode of Football Insider’s Inside Track podcast, senior journalist Pete O’Rourke stated that there is always a need for left-footed centre-backs because there aren’t many decent ones available. The Brazilian has impressed since joining the City Ground for £15 million from Corinthians last summer, and his deal is due to continue until 2028. Last month, Football Insider alleged that the Reds were hoping for a “huge” price to permit Murillo’s exit this…
Jurgen Klopp is certain that it is the right option for him to move away from Liverpool this summer after nine years in charge at Anfield. Jurgen Klopp believes Liverpool’s troubles over the last six weeks would have continued next season if he hadn’t decided to stand down as manager this summer. From being in a position where they were battling on four fronts heading into the FA Cup quarter-final against Manchester United in mid-March, the Carabao Cup winners find themselves out of contention for the FA Cup and Europa League and highly likely to finish the Premier League season…

If Leeds United do not regain promotion to the Premier League this season, they will face a number of financial challenges. On the latest episode of Football Insider’s Inside Track podcast, senior journalist Pete O’Rourke stated that the Whites face “worrying times ahead” if they have to play a second season in the second division. Daniel Farke’s side had “banked” on returning to the top division at the first attempt, but a 4-0 defeat to QPR last week (April 26) has put that at risk. The Whites supposedly owe £190 million for Andrea Radrizzani-era moves, and last month’s financial accounts…

The newspaper stated on its website [5 May] that the Hollywood movie actor has purchased a share in the football club as the Whites prepare for the Championship play-offs, adding that he is likely to be a “major investor” at Elland Road and “pumped a large stake” into 49ers Enterprises.

Southampton head coach Russell Martin says his team won against Leeds United using a different game plan than their typical complex, high-possession style. The Saints took the lead twice at Elland Road on Saturday afternoon and maintained their position to return all three points to the south coast. While the points scored on the day had no bearing on Southampton’s, or Leeds’, final Championship table position, Martin and his players’ approach could cause problems for the Whites by the end of the month, if the two teams meet again in the play-off final at Wembley Stadium. Leeds face Daniel Farke’s…
