Stefan Borson has stated that Leeds United will violate the Premier League’s profit and sustainability guidelines if they are promoted from the Championship this season. The finance expert said that, due to a £20 million reduction to promotion incentives, if they increase as revenue decreases, they will break the regulations and be punished. This is despite Kieran Maguire and Phil Hay’s assurance that Leeds has kept within the PSR restrictions due to player sales, despite a revenue fall. Borson revealed live on talkSPORT [16 April, 11:15]: “If Leeds are promoted this season, they will fail PSR due to a £20…

There was a time, not so long ago, when Leeds United was often associated with a man who is now chasing Daniel Farke’s team in the Championship promotion battle. Leeds lost 1-0 at home to relegation-threatened Blackburn Rovers – honestly, who wants to play Premier League football in 2023/24? – The club’s long-term transfer aim moved the squad into fourth place, three points behind the Yorkshire giants, in what is shaping up to be a frantic and tight finish to a usually exciting second-tier season. Adam Armstrong may have dominated the headlines at Southampton this season. But Che Adams, the…
Nottingham Forest have been docked four points this season for violating financial fair play standards, and Simon Jordan has had his say. The Reds have had a rather rocky season. Much like last season, the team enters the final five games of the season with their Premier League future still uncertain. Forest’s situation should have been very different this semester. Although decent players were signed in the summer, the club has often struggled. Set pieces have proven disastrous. Despite Matz Sels’ claim that they are working hard on them in training, 22 goals have been surrendered in those scenarios. With…
Andoni Iraola, AFC Bournemouth’s manager, has stated he regrets starting former Leeds United winger Luis Sinisterra in the club’s recent draw with Manchester United. The 24-year-old has missed Bournemouth’s previous three league games due to injury, but was assessed fit to face the Red Devils. He only lasted 39 minutes on the field before succumbing to a hamstring injury and being replaced by Lloyd Kelly. Speaking to the Daily Echo, Iraola admitted he regretted starting the Colombia international. He admitted, “I regret beginning him. However, he was training exceptionally well this week. The decision was properly thought out. “Probably not…
Leeds United have already begun looking into prospective new additions in case they are promoted to the Premier League this season. The Whites are still in contention for automatic promotion from the Championship, but their recent play has deteriorated, implying that they no longer have a chance. Daniel Farke’s side is third in the rankings, a point behind second-place Leicester City, who have a game in hand. Meanwhile, Ipswich Town are a further point and place ahead. With the Premier League still a possibility, there have already been reports of prospective new arrivals, including the return of former midfield hero…
Che Adams is “almost certain” to leave Southampton on a free transfer this summer, but Leeds United must gain promotion to bring him to Elland Road, according to Carlton Palmer. The former Leeds player insisted Adams has both international and Premier League experience, making him a desirable asset to interested clubs. Adams is thought to be frustrated that he was unable to leave Southampton in January, which has caused problems for the striker, who is not the first-choice option at St Mary’s. Palmaer said Football League World [16 April]: “It’s pretty clear that Che Adams will leave Southampton this summer.…
Watford manager Tom Cleverley believes ‘elite referees’ should be in charge of critical Championship games at this stage of the season, after criticising a decision that could cost Leeds United. On Saturday, the Hornets were defeated 3-2 by Southampton, who scored in the 99th minute despite only seven minutes of extra time. The victory means the Saints may potentially overtake Leeds in third place if they secure maximum points from their two games in hand, putting them within touching distance of Leicester City and Ipswich Town. While Cleverley admits the outcome will have little bearing on Watford’s season – the…
Leeds United released centre-back Conor Shaughnessy in 2021, but the defender is now working his way back up the EFL with Portsmouth, who are on the verge of winning League One and were selected to the Team of the Season. With three games remaining in Leeds’ season, the EFL has announced their Team of the Season, and the Whites are strongly involved. Leeds had three players named to the Team of the Season, including both the Young Player of the Season and the Overall Player of the Season. The EFL Team of the Season has been announced, and each roster…
The Academy Award-winning actor has acquired an interest in Leeds United. Russell Crowe, a film icon, has backed the new Leeds United ownership to make his beloved football team successful again. Crowe, a well-known Leeds fan, recently purchased a modest part in the club following 49ers Enterprises’ majority purchase from Andrea Radrizzani last summer. The Academy Award winner is one of many well-known figures who have invested in Leeds, including American Olympic gold medalist Michael Phelps and Major League Golf champion Jordan Speith. Crowe only just revealed his minor ownership share, which he had previously kept confidential, despite the fact…
Nuno Espirito Santo, Nottingham Forest’s head coach, is ready to offer the Reds permission to sign an international goalkeeper this summer. This season, the Reds and goalkeepers have developed a love-hate relationship. Forest have used three goalkeepers, with varied degrees of success. Matt Turner started the season as the number one and appeared to be the number one when Espirito Santo joined the team. However, a spate of high-profile errors prompted the head coach to make the change, with Odysseas Vlachodimos doing little to impress either. The Greek international joined from Benfica on transfer deadline day in the summer, but…
