April 27, 2025 RAYMOND 0

Barry Ferguson addressed his Rangers players after their 2-2 draw with St Mirren, urging them to be mindful of their futures at the club. Despite taking the lead twice, Rangers couldn’t secure the win, and with the Scottish Premiership title now out of reach, Ferguson highlighted that significant changes were imminent. He stressed that even those with contracts were “playing for their future” and noted that the club was heading in the right direction with the ongoing takeover discussions and the appointment of Kevin Thelwell as sporting director. With a short off-season and European qualifiers looming, Ferguson made it clear that a big job lay ahead.

Leeds United on High Alert as ‘Fantastic’ Premier League Star Emerges as Dream £10m Signing for The 49ers

April 27, 2025 RAYMOND 0

Leeds United are set to prioritize replacing Illan Meslier this summer, with the French goalkeeper expected to depart after six years at Elland Road. Despite making 214 appearances since joining on loan from Lorient in 2019, Meslier has struggled for form, leading to his recent drop from the starting XI under Daniel Farke. As his contract runs until June 2026, it’s widely believed that a fresh start is needed for both Meslier and the club.

With Leeds linked to several potential replacements, four English international goalkeepers have emerged as targets, including Nick Pope, Aaron Ramsdale, and Sam Johnstone. Johnstone, currently at Wolves, is being touted as a strong contender, with his Premier League experience and international caps making him a solid choice to take over as Leeds’ new number one. However, questions remain about whether he would be a significant improvement over Meslier, whose form could bounce back. If Leeds are to stay competitive in the Premier League, they may need to invest heavily in a proven goalkeeper or turn their attention to Europe for a more reliable option.

April 27, 2025 RAYMOND 0

In 2015, Dejphon Chansiri took the reins at Sheffield Wednesday with bold ambitions and a £30 million investment. Inspired by his son and the club’s rich history, he promised to work tirelessly to return the Owls to the Premier League. Early signs were promising, with back-to-back play-off campaigns under manager Carlos Carvalhal. Yet, despite glimpses of success, promotion proved elusive. Over the next decade, the dream faded, culminating in relegation, financial struggles, and renewed uncertainty about the club’s future.

Nazariy Rusyn Breaks Silence on Sunderland Struggles and Hints at Shock Transfer Decision

April 27, 2025 RAYMOND 0

Nazariy Rusyn has reflected on his struggles at Sunderland, revealing he always felt like he was “playing catch-up” after joining the club without the benefit of a full pre-season. The Ukrainian forward admitted that injury setbacks and the language barrier made it hard to adapt, while a lack of trust from new manager Regis Le Bris signalled the beginning of the end for his time on Wearside. “At one point, I was even playing right-back in training,” Rusyn said, acknowledging that despite his efforts, the club had already moved on. Now on loan at Hajduk Split, Rusyn is embracing a fresh start, though he concedes a return to Sunderland is unlikely after the club insisted on a purchase option in his loan deal.

Lee Hendrie believes that now is the ideal time for Dejphon Chansiri to sell his stake in Sheffield Wednesday, as the club’s potential is being held back by financial struggles and strained fan relations.

Speaking exclusively to *Football League World*, Hendrie highlighted the club’s rich history and the positive work done by manager Danny Rohl, suggesting that a change in ownership could propel Sheffield Wednesday to the next level. Despite Chansiri’s desire for a high price, Hendrie feels that the right owner with the proper drive could unlock the club’s true potential and help secure a brighter future.

Shock Rangers XI Revealed for St Mirren Clash: Bailey Rice Gets the Nod in Bold Attacking Overhaul

April 26, 2025 RAYMOND 0

With only five matches left and a manager set to depart, Rangers face a difficult end to the season. Motivation has been a struggle for the squad, and while pride is on the line, stringing together victories may only highlight the painful gap to Celtic, who remain comfortably ahead.

First up is a challenging trip to St Mirren, who have already beaten Rangers twice this season. Despite little left to play for in terms of European qualification, Stephen Robinson’s side is never an easy opponent, and a bruising encounter is expected.

Changes to the starting XI are anticipated. Jack Butland should return to goal to rebuild his confidence, while the 3-5-2 formation might be scrapped due to limited options in the full-back positions. In midfield, Bailey Rice deserves a run of games, alongside Nicolas Raskin and Mohamed Diomande. Up front, Vaclav Cerny should retain his spot, with Oscar Cortes given a chance to rediscover his form on the left. The decision between Hamza Igamane and Danilo for the central striker role is crucial, with Igamane showing promise as the season’s standout forward.

Southampton’s Aaron Ramsdale is reportedly above Gunn on their shortlist, as the club looks to make ambitious moves to strengthen their squad. Meanwhile, a potential emotional return for Kalvin Phillips is gathering momentum, though financial hurdles remain.

While Sunderland’s current squad remains largely stable—with only four loan players expected to depart—the same cannot be said for some familiar faces elsewhere.
