Good Morning. It's Wednesday 20th March, and here are the latest headlines from Elland Road

Phillips linked with ER return

Kalvin Phillips could make a sensational return back to Elland Road this Summer if the back pages of the tabloids are to be believed.

The 28yo is currently out on loan with West Ham, but after a disastrous start to 2024, he sits bottom (24th) of their 'Whoscored' roster with a woeful 5.89 rating.
Initially, the Hammers were interested in making the move permanent, but after 21 months out in the Citeh wilderness, the lad from Wortley has lost his way.

Manchester City are expecting to recoup much of the £42m they paid for him two Summers ago, though the truth of the matter (however harsh it sounds) is that for much of Leeds previous campaign, Phillips inclusion in the squad was as much to do with reputation as it was his performances on the pitch.

No doubt Leeds sold him at the right time, but thats not to say he couldn't do a job at Leeds, if the price was right (£10m - £15m).

Foxes still favourites to lift Championship title

Foxes Manager Enzo Maresca must now be regretting his choice words prior to the top of the table clash with Leeds almost four weeks ago.

With three defeats, two wins and a draw, his side have slipped down to 15th place in the form guide (six games), and are in serious trouble of missing out on automatic promotion.

Whites fans were outraged with Maresca showing a complete lack of respect towards his opponents, just minutes before kick off, stating "it's a huge game for Leeds. For us, it's just another game"

Karma has a way to bite you where it hurts Their once 17 point advantage over Leeds has disappeared. Leicester City are still favourites to lift the title 8/13, with Leeds second 15/8, Ipswich 10/1 and Southampton fourth at 20/1.

Leicester (1/9) and Leeds 2/7) are a long way ahead of both the Tractor boys (5/2) and the Saints (7/1) to finish top two, though Southampton have two games in hand, and have to play both Leeds and Ipswich Town.

There's no way we're paying what City would want, infact can't see anyone, if he fetches £15m , that would be about it, the way his forms panned out. Probably end up at Forest or Everton if either stay up.
I would say Leicester have the easier run in of the 4 teams and can still see them winning it, but if they **** up at Bristol then doubt sets in and who knows. Can't believe how their fans have turned on the manager so quickly, he does seem a bit of a prick though.

Morning all :emoticon-0148-yes:

For those of you that have met him, it is Ben's 21st Birthday today :emoticon-0167-beer::emoticon-0167-beer:

I still remember Wakey and Whitejock taking care of him when he was a young teenager and I couldn't go to Elland Road because I was unwell, how time flies!! Whitejock also holds the "accolade" of buying him his first ever beer in a pub (The Peacock) and it genuinely was a school night <laugh>

He was a good drinking apprentice, but rubbish at the Scottish accent. LOL. Give the wee lad (towers over me) a big, big hug from me. And go on, a kiss too, but not one of your usual tongue-y ones! :D Happy Birthday, Ben - time to ask Da when he's going to retire now that you're old enough to run the family business. :D

It’ll be a four point slap on wrist max. They’ve lowered the bar considerably in preparation for a two point city deduction

The Man City charges are completely different and if proven will see them relegated. The teams that overspent was easy to see via their accounts. City haven’t been charged with overspending but by artificially inflating their income through companies connected to the owners, for example huge shirt sponsorship. Following and unravelling the money trail is what is causing the delay.
