Leeds United will be “at risk” of breaking the proposed new spending regulations if promoted back to the Premier League, according to i News. The outlet reported on their website on March 12 that, based on modelling by finance expert Kieran Maguire, the Whites may violate the new regulations, which would limit clubs’ ability to spend a percentage of their revenue on wages and transfers, as opposed to the current system, which has a £105 million limit for allowable losses over a three year period. According to Maguire’s projections, using 2022/23 values, Leeds United would be almost £11 million over…
Leeds United is presently second in the Championship table, behind league leaders Leicester City. An emergency proposal for a new Championship play-off final date has been developed, which could affect Leeds United. The Whites are now hoping for automatic promotion, but they face stiff competition from Leicester City, Ipswich Town, and Southampton for a top-two spot. If Leeds finishes the season in third or sixth place, Daniel Farke’s side will qualify for the play-offs. The play-off final is scheduled for May 26, one day after the FA Cup final, which could cause problems for two second-tier teams. Both Leicester and…
Tony McArdle said he and his staff “will get more involved” in the Nottingham Forest lease negotiations to better grasp the issue. The lead commissioner appointed by Nottingham City Council says his team may engage in negotiations with Nottingham Forest following allegations that the club may have to leave the City Ground. It was recently announced that talks to extend the club’s lease have stopped as the city council, the owner of the land on which the historic stadium resides, strives to secure “best value for taxpayers.” The stalling talks have generated doubt about Nottingham Forest’s City Ground reconstruction, and…
The latest Nottingham Forest news as the club awaits the decision of their hearing for suspected Profitability and Sustainability Rules violations. Simon Jordan believes Nottingham Forest is being treated unfairly under the existing Profitability and Sustainability Rules. The Reds are accused of violating current laws, which limit the amount clubs can lose over a three-year period. Forest has been accused of exceeding that limit and is awaiting the conclusion of an independent commission hearing, which was held last week and will determine who would administer any sanctions. However, former Crystal Palace owner Jordan points out that once promoted, Forest were…

Illan Meslier is once again prospering at Leeds United as one of the most promising goalkeepers in English football, according to Sport. The Spanish daily said on page 27 of its print edition on Tuesday (12 March) that it was difficult for the 24-year-old to be a starter in the Premier League at such a young age and be connected with Real Madrid and Barcelona. However, following the Whites’ relegation to the Championship, it looks that the Frenchman has found the confidence to be the keeper that previous manager Marcelo Bielsa fell in love with at Elland Road. Illan Meslier…
The Premier League shareholders met to address financial issues, and the EFL will not be pleased with the outcome. Following their most recent meeting, Premier League clubs opted not to increase their financing for the EFL. England’s biggest and richest league has consistently donated money to the EFL’s three tiers as part of a commitment to growing football across the country, as well as to keep the Premier League from becoming too disconnected from the leagues below. The Premier League currently sends £1.6 billion to lower levels of football over a three-year period, but there was hope that EFL clubs…
Leeds United’s promotion under Marcelo Bielsa saw a number of players excel in the top division, and given the club’s youth, many of them drew interest from Europe’s premier teams. Raphinha did go to Barcelona. Kalvin Phillips has joined Manchester City. Jack Harrison had been associated with several Premier League clubs, and Illan Meslier was a popular name. Meslier was linked with Chelsea last summer as well. More recently, it has been associated vaguely to Bayern Munich. However, interest in Meslier, who was billed as France’s future number one, has waned, coinciding with a downturn in his form. Well, form…
According to Phil Hay of The Athletic, Leeds United are unlikely to offer Junior Firpo a new deal, but summer offers ‘would be highly appreciated’. Leeds United will have high expectations for left-back Firpo upon his arrival. The 27-year-old joined from Barcelona in the summer of 2021, signing a four-year contract at Elland Road. His tenure with the Whites hasn’t gone as planned, though. He’s struggled to recapture his best form, and injuries have limited his involvement, with 72 appearances in nearly three seasons. However, Firpo has recently been given a consistent run in the side and has produced remarkable…
