What to read next:
Leeds reject offer from Gray but are still likely to lose himThe proposed deal to sell Archie Gray to Brentford has collapsed at the eleventh hour, but with Leeds needing to make sales to comply with FFP, it’s likely that we will sell him to one of the other clubs who are on his case. Chelsea, Tottenham Hotspur and Aston Villa have all been mentioned.
Leeds start 2024/5 on a Saturday lunchtimeThe fixture list for the new season was announced this morning, and Sky TV have got their talons into it already. Our opening game is at 12.30 at home to Portsmouth, as inconvenient as that is for the away fans travelling up from the south coast.
Should they stay or should they go?Leeds United have issued the retained list for the 2024/5 season, and while much of it confirms what we already know, on the face of it there are a couple of surprises.
Can Red Bull help Leeds to fly back to the top?Today Leeds announced that Red Bull have bought a minority stake in the club, and will take over as the main shirt sponsor, but thankfully there will be no change in the name of the club or the colour of the shirt.
Marathe admits that PSR is likely to force player salesThe 49ers have plenty of cash available to invest in Leeds United, but defeat in the 49th game of the League season means that some key players will be leaving to keep the club with the Profitability and Sustainability (PSR) regulations.
Wembley AwaydazeAs you probably know already, our play-off final against with Southampton kicks off at 3pm on Sunday. And if you didn’t manage to get your hands on a ticket, it’s live on Sky Sports.
