Exclusive: Chris Waddle Sounds Alarm Over Mysterious Scouting Issue at Sheffield Wednesday
Sheffield Wednesday have taken the first steps toward their 2025/26 rebuild by releasing their retained list, with seven senior players departing and key figures like Barry Bannan and Josh Windass staying on. However, uncertainty over ownership and the managerial future casts a shadow over the club’s plans. Former player Chris Waddle highlights a critical issue: the lack of a strong scouting system means Wednesday will likely rely heavily on free transfers, but swift action is needed before quality players slip away. Waddle also questions whether the current ownership situation will allow the club to invest and progress, stressing the need for decisive moves to shape the team’s future.

The Secret Weapon Rangers Have Been Waiting For? Davide Ancelotti’s High-Press Philosophy Could Change Everything
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.
Shock Twist in Playoff Race: Sunderland Pushed to Appoint Ex-Everton Boss in Bold Last-Minute Move
Sunderland’s playoff hopes are hanging by a thread after a six-game winless run, and pressure is mounting on manager Regis Le Bris. With fans growing increasingly restless, calls are intensifying for the club to sack Le Bris and appoint former Everton boss Sean Dyche. Despite his rocky exit from Goodison Park, Dyche is seen by many as the experienced, no-nonsense leader who could steady Sunderland’s ship at the most crucial time of their season. As Coventry City awaits in the playoffs, the push for a last-minute managerial shake-up is gaining momentum.
Mark Robins Breaks Silence on Coates and Walters Alliance Ahead of High-Stakes Transfer Window
Mark Robins has praised the unwavering support he’s received from Stoke City’s leadership, particularly owner John Coates and sporting director Jon Walters, during what he described as a challenging four-month battle to keep the club in the Championship. Since taking charge on New Year’s Day, Robins has been solely focused on survival—a mission accomplished with a final-day draw at Derby County. Now, with safety secured, he’s turning his attention to building a more stable future, confident in the groundwork being laid behind the scenes. “Everything we’re doing will take time,” he said, “but when it all comes together, Stoke City will be in a really strong place for years to come.”

You Won’t Believe How Jesse Marsch’s Former Right-Hand Man Reacted as Leeds United Sealed Dramatic Promotion at Elland Road
Leeds United’s two-year exile from the Premier League is widely seen as a consequence of Jesse Marsch’s troubled tenure. Appointed by Victor Orta after Marcelo Bielsa’s departure, Marsch struggled with tactics, recruitment, and consistency, leading the club into a downward spiral. While relegation was eventually inevitable, Leeds have now completed their resurgence. A dominant 6-0 win over Stoke and a key loss for Sheffield United sealed their return to the top flight. Former assistant Rene Maric, now at Bayern Munich, marked the moment with a respectful nod to the club and its fans—while subtly reflecting on the limitations he faced under Marsch’s leadership.
Exclusive: Ex-Sunderland and Leeds United Boss Makes Stunning South Asia Switch — New Role Sparks Fresh Ambitions
Simon Grayson’s latest managerial chapter has taken him far from the familiar stadiums of England to the foothills of the Himalayas, where he’s now leading Nepal Super League champions Lalitpur City. At 55, and with over four decades of football experience under his belt, the former Sunderland, Leeds United, and Bradford City boss continues to chase fresh challenges—this time in a country where football is still carving out its identity.
“This wasn’t something I ever imagined,” Grayson admits. “But the idea of stepping out of my comfort zone, even if just for a couple of months, really appealed to me.” His team, made up largely of local players with a few international reinforcements, has shown real promise—remaining unbeaten and level on points at the top of the table. But for Grayson, it’s not just about results. “If I can help even one player or staff member improve by ten percent, then it’s worth it. And if I come out of this thirty or forty percent better, even more so.”
From nightly games across the road from his hotel to conversations with Reading fans in Kathmandu, Grayson’s time in Nepal has been anything but ordinary. Yet, it’s this very unpredictability that has reignited his love for the game.
