Stuart Pearce hoped to make a cheap deal, but it never happened. Nottingham Forest has made several budget acquisitions in recent transfer windows. The success of some of Evangelos Marinakis’ key acquisitions, such as Nikola Milenkovic’s move from Fiorentina, has been crucial to Forest’s push in Europe this season. Milenkovic, who cost Forest £13 million, has established himself as a mainstay in Nuno Espirito Santo’s defense, starting 23 Premier League games with Murillo, another cheap acquisition. In just his second Premier League game since joining from Corinthians, Jamie Redknapp called Murillo a steal. Because of their efforts to Forest being…

There are several injury concerns for Newcastle United before their Premier League matchup against Manchester City. When Newcastle United travels to play Premier League winners Manchester City on Saturday, they will be back in action. It has all the makings of a big game, with both teams vying for a top four position. The Magpies enter the match having just defeated Birmingham City in a brutal FA Cup match on Saturday. After a fierce battle, United prevailed 3-2 and advanced to the FA Cup’s fifth round. Players colliding with advertising hoardings, tackles flying in, and plenty of yellow cards were…
Rangers CEO Patrick Stewart has already erred in judgment since taking over at Ibrox. The former Manchester United board member was recruited to Govan by interim chairman John Gilligan in December to replace James Bisgrove, who left the position in the summer to relocate to Saudi Arabia. The Aberdeen-born official has since conducted a review of operations in G51 but has decided not to remove Philippe Clement from his position in the dugout. One of his major adjustments at Ibrox has already backfired, and it looks that the CEO made a mistake so early in his tenure. Rangers kids training…
Nikola Katic, who is on loan from Plymouth Argyle, is never afraid to show his Rangers pride. Even after the Bosnian international, 28, had a Man of the Match performance against Liverpool, the centre-back acknowledged his affection for the Ibrox club. Nikola Katic went viral for a funny post-match interview after Plymouth shocked the Premier League leaders in the FA Cup. Katic’s expletive-laden post-match interview, in which he pressed ex-Celtic player Conor Hazard about his Rangers allegiances, earned the defender instant cult hero status among the Pilgrims. However, in an interview with the Championship club’s social media team, Nikola Katic…
Leeds United can begin to dream about playing in the Premier League next season after victories like Wednesday night. On Wednesday, Leeds United hammered Watford 4-0 away from home. Goals came from Dan James who scored twice, Manor Solomon and then Joel Piroe in the second half, as Daniel Farke’s side open up a five point lead at the top of the Championship table. It’s now 14 games unbeaten for the Whites. There’s also been six clean sheets in a row for Illan Meslier who’s had a handful of stops to make in that time, with Leeds simply too good…
This time last year, Newcastle United were dealing with a never-ending injury issue, with a long list of players on the sidelines. This season has been substantially different, and it is felt that James Bunce’s entrance has had a favorable impact, as the amount of muscle injuries has decreased significantly from last year. However, we left Birmingham with a number of concerns as Dan Burn (groin) hobbled off on a night in which Sven Botman (knee) and Anthony Gordon (quad) were also sidelined due to injury. Major update on four injury issues. Craig Hope of The Mail has provided a…
Nottingham Forest have made significant progress on the pitch this season, sitting third in the Premier League rankings. The Reds advanced to the fifth round of the FA Cup Wednesday night. Forest beat Exeter at St James’ Park, but it took a penalty shootout to defeat the League One opponents. Still, a win is a win. Forest will now try to recuperate swiftly ahead of a crucial encounter against Fulham at Craven Cottage on Saturday, with three more vital points at stake. Evangelos Marinakis was anxious for a striker in January. Forest’s failure to obtain one, combined with Taiwo Awoniyi’s…
Newcastle United are intending to sign a centre-back in the summer of 2025, having failed to do so during the previous two transfer windows. The summer of 2024 ended with Newcastle United missing out on Marc Guehi. The Magpies committed so much time to their pursuit of Guehi, but were unable to strike a deal with Crystal Palace. There was no new approach for him in January, as Newcastle attempted to sign Abdukodir Khusanov instead. Paul Mitchell came close, but the 20-year-old defender moved to Manchester City instead. Newcastle also coveted Juma Bah and Vitor Reis, but missed out to…
Rangers’ historic Scottish Cup defeat to Queen’s Park has sparked widespread criticism from fans, analysts, and club legends alike. The Gers’ 1-0 setback at Ibrox, their first home defeat to lower-league opponents in club history, proved to be a watershed moment for Philippe Clement, who is now on the verge of being fired by Rangers. Clement stays in charge for the time being, despite the fact that his team is effectively out of contention for every domestic competition this season, with a 13-point deficit to Celtic in the Scottish Premiership. Losing on penalties to their Old Firm rivals in the…
Kevin Muscat has seemingly once again surfaced as a likely contender to become the next Rangers manager with the rising pressure mounting on Philippe Clement. Despite Rangers’ humbling Scottish Cup loss at home to Queen’s Park over the weekend, Clement remains the club’s manager. The 1-0 setback at Ibrox makes Clement the first manager in the competition’s 150-year history to oversee a home loss to lower-league opponents. While the Belgian is still in charge for the time being, speculation about who will be the next to walk through the Ibrox doors continues. Clement defeated Muscat to become Gers manager in…
