Leeds United could turn to the free agent market this summer as they look to strengthen their squad without breaking the bank. While Daniel Farke prepares for a big spending window, with a £100 million budget at his disposal, the rising costs of top players mean bargains will be crucial.

Dan Neil has hailed Chris Mepham as Sunderland’s unsung hero, praising the Bournemouth loanee for his immense contributions both on and off the pitch.

Still, Neil was quick to highlight Mepham’s professionalism and influence behind the scenes, calling him “an unbelievable character” who played a major role in uniting the squad. Whether it was offering advice, backing his teammates, or lifting spirits during away trips, Mepham’s impact extended well beyond the starting eleven.

Former captain Craig Moore voiced his frustration on the Go Radio Football Show, demanding answers about the club’s direction and financial clarity.

May 15, 2025 RAYMOND 0

With James Beadle unlikely to return to Hillsborough for a third loan spell, Sheffield Wednesday appear ready to put their faith in homegrown goalkeeper Pierce Charles. The 20-year-old impressed during the final stretch of the 2024/25 season, earning praise not just for his shot-stopping, but also for his calm distribution—a trait refined during his early days at Manchester City. Having already made his senior debut for Northern Ireland, Charles is emerging as a bright prospect, and many within the club see him as a potential long-term solution between the posts. However, fan pundit Patrick McKenna urges caution: “He’s a real asset, but we need to develop him properly. He will make mistakes—we have to support him through those moments if we want him to thrive.”

Speculation continues to build around Davide Ancelotti as the leading candidate to become the next Rangers manager. While he has yet to take the reins of a club on his own, his coaching pedigree and tactical acumen—sharpened alongside his father at some of Europe’s top clubs—make him a compelling option. Ancelotti’s emphasis on adaptability and situational awareness, both in and out of possession, could bring a much-needed shift in mindset at Ibrox. His ability to prepare teams to press high, manage transitions, and adjust systems based on opposition or available personnel suggests he might offer the kind of tactical flexibility Rangers have sorely lacked in recent years.
