Leeds United may face “short-term pain” after announcing plans to extend Elland Road’s capacity, according to Kieran Maguire. The University of Liverpool’s football finance instructor stated on The Price of Football podcast on September 26 that the Whites need to reach at least 50,000 capacity to compete at the top of English football, therefore the goal is to raise match-day revenue. While he projected that the club would have no trouble selling full the larger stadium, he also noted that it would need closing off portions of the pitch along the way, which would inevitably keep spectators out while the…
Football Insider has learned that Nottingham Forest are interested in acquiring Burnley winger Luca Koleosho. On the latest episode of Football Insider’s Inside Track podcast, senior writer Pete O’Rourke reported that Koleosho’s future will be determined by Burnley’s position in the Championship. The Clarets value the 20-year-old at £40 million after rapidly signing him to a new five-year contract. The winger is also unlikely to depart during the forthcoming January transfer window, with the summer being a more likely period for a move. Wolves attempted to sign Koleosho on deadline day but were turned down due to Burnley’s asking price.…
Nottingham Forest will try to maintain their unblemished start to the season when they face Fulham this weekend. Nuno Espirito Santo’s team will face Fulham, who are coming off a stunning victory against Newcastle United last weekend. However, Forest have been one of the Premier League’s biggest surprises this season, collecting nine points from their first five games. Three of those points came away from Liverpool, which was followed by a solid point on the road last weekend against Brighton & Hove Albion. Forest will be without its best player, Morgan Gibbs-White, this weekend after he received a red card…
Nottingham Forest will be without Morgan Gibbs-White against Fulham after his red card in the draw with Brighton No sooner had he confronted Joao Pedro with 83 minutes of Nottingham Forest’s encounter with Brighton & Hove Albion gone, Morgan Gibbs-White instantly jumped up and threw a defiant poke of the finger. The Reds ace certainly felt he had done his bit for the squad at a key stage of the game at the Amex Stadium. At that point, the visitors had evened the score and were on track to extend their season-long unbeaten streak to five games. Gibbs-White has donned…
According to Graham Smyth, Manor Solomon’s escalating injury issues are already raising concerns at Leeds United. The Yorkshire Evening Post journalist replied on the Inside Elland Road podcast on September 26th, after Daniel Farke ruled the Tottenham loanee out of the weekend’s game against Coventry City, to suggest that concerns about his injury record upon arriving have already been addressed. The Israeli has made two appearances for the Whites after missing almost the entire season at Spurs due to a knee injury, which he also suffered the previous year at Fulham. Smyth stated (30m 35s): “Manor Solomon, whose back issue…
Except for an unexpected slip-up against Nottingham Forest, Liverpool has a perfect record in all competitions under Arne Slot. The choice to appoint the Dutchman as Jurgen Klopp’s successor has proven to be a masterstroke, with the Reds winning four of their five Premier League games, as well as one each in the UEFA Champions League and the EFL Cup. The approaching weeks, however, may prove to be the most difficult for Slot, as Liverpool plays every three days in all competitions. As the Reds prepare to travel to the West Midlands to face Wolverhampton Wanderers, Paul Merson believes Slot…
Nottingham Forest worked tirelessly in the transfer market to sell almost 20 players, both permanently and on loan. The Reds have had a bloated roster since returning to the Premier League, but that is changing. Only Emmanuel Dennis remains a senior player who is not actively training with Nuno Espirito Santo’s team, indicating development. Forest has welcomed 11 new players to its ranks, and things appear to be much more streamlined these days, with an emphasis on an established squad. The majority of the players who went were expected, and the loan players who left will be closely observed by…

Leeds United have unveiled initial plans to expand Elland Road in the near future, as the club look to increase the capacity to around 53,000. The Whites are intending to be back in the Premier League sooner rather than later, and in the process, will be hoping to consolidate themselves as one of the biggest clubs in the country once more. Should they get to the top flight, there are already plans for Leeds to realise their potential under the 49ers.
