Tommy Doyle has opted for a move to Birmingham City despite interest from Sheffield United and Sunderland.

Speaking about the switch, Doyle praised Birmingham’s ambition and clear vision, saying the club’s intent made the decision an easy one.

Even Pricier Than Hamer? Sunderland Unearth ‘Sensational’ Talent in Stunning Twist

Régis Le Bris stands on the brink of history. With Sunderland poised for a long-awaited return to the Premier League, the Frenchman could become the manager who ends an eight-year exile from the top flight. But between him and glory looms a dangerous Sheffield United side, freshly rejuvenated under Chris Wilder. The stage is set at Wembley, where two ambitious clubs—and two sensational midfielders—will clash in a battle that could define their futures.

All eyes will be on Jobe Bellingham, the 19-year-old prodigy whose stock has soared to £22 million. His rise mirrors Sunderland’s own resurgence, and while Gustavo Hamer brings proven pedigree and a Player of the Season award to the table, it’s Bellingham who could be the difference-maker. If Sunderland fall short, they may lose their brightest spark to the European elite. But if they triumph, it may mark the beginning of a new era—one led by youth, vision, and the bold leadership of Le Bris.

Blades Tear Through History: Ruthless Sheffield United Crush Bristol City 3-0 (6-0 Agg) – Baldock Emerges as Key Figure in Play-Off Storm with Bigger Glory Beckoning

May 13, 2025 RAYMOND 0

Sheffield United’s march to Wembley was more than just a dominant display—it was a night steeped in history and emotion. Their 3-0 victory over Bristol City, sealing a 6-0 aggregate win, didn’t just book a place in the final; it matched the biggest winning margin in a two-legged English play-off tie, a record untouched since 1993. But as the final whistle blew at Bramall Lane, it wasn’t the scoreline or Wembley chants that filled the air—it was the name of George Baldock. The late wing-back’s memory overshadowed the moment of triumph, with supporters singing his name and players holding aloft a Greek flag in tribute. In a performance defined by composure and heart, the Blades not only made history—they honored it.

“We’re definitely not down and out; that has to be the mindset of everybody,” Liam Manning declared ahead of Bristol City’s uphill second-leg clash against Sheffield United. Reflecting on famous football comebacks—from Liverpool’s unforgettable Champions League triumph in 2005 to Sheffield Wednesday’s play-off heroics—Manning has used these moments to fuel belief within his squad. Despite trailing 3-0 from the first leg and facing the challenge of overturning that deficit away from home, the City head coach remains defiant. “It’s only half-time,” he insisted. “They scored three in one leg—why can’t we?”

Third Time Lucky? Leeds United on Brink of £20m Coup for ‘Very Good’ Star After Two-Year Pursuit

April 30, 2025 RAYMOND 0

Could this finally be the summer Leeds United lands Gustavo Hamer?

After a failed attempt last year, Leeds United may be poised to make their move for Sheffield United’s star midfielder, Gustavo Hamer. With a £20 million bid now more feasible thanks to their Premier League return and Hamer’s standout season, the timing could be right. The Brazilian-born playmaker, named Championship Player of the Year, has been a key figure for the Blades, and his creativity and goal-scoring ability would fill the void in Leeds’ midfield.

Former Sheffield United player Lee Hendrie believes Hamer could make the switch this summer, particularly if the Blades fall short of promotion again. After seeing a £13 million offer rejected in 2023, Leeds may finally land the midfielder if Sheffield United’s promotion hopes fail once more.

‘No Brainer’ Move Looms: Don Goodman Tips Piroe’s Fierce Rival to Seize Stunning Leeds United Opportunity

April 28, 2025 RAYMOND 0

The EFL Awards ceremony in London on Sunday night saw the Championship’s top performers recognized, as Leeds United’s Dan James and manager Daniel Farke were nominated for Player and Manager of the Year. Despite their impressive nominations, neither won, with Burnley’s Scott Parker and Sheffield United’s Gustavo Hamer taking home the honors. Leeds did secure a spot in the Team of the Season, with James, Jayden Bogle, and Ao Tanaka earning recognition, although players like Ethan Ampadu, Joe Rodon, and Joel Piroe were notably absent.

Looking ahead to the summer transfer window, Leeds are reportedly keeping an eye on Norwich’s Borja Sainz and Josh Sargent. After a thrilling season, Sainz has been in close competition with Joel Piroe for the Championship’s golden boot. Don Goodman believes that, given his stellar form, Sainz would be eager to make the jump to Leeds for Premier League football, calling it a “no-brainer.” However, with Leeds needing proven, battle-ready players next season, questions remain about whether Sainz’s Championship form is enough for the Premier League’s demands.

Farke Faces Tough Choice: Drop £45k-a-Week Leeds Flop to Unleash Dan James’ Explosive Potential?

Today could be the day Leeds United secures their promotion back to the Premier League, as they face Stoke City at Elland Road. With a win and a Sheffield United loss, the Whites will seal their return to the top flight. After their 1-0 victory over Oxford, manager Daniel Farke may look to freshen up his lineup, particularly after a short recovery period. One key change should be the inclusion of Dan James, who has been a standout performer this season.

James, named a finalist for Championship Player of the Season, has been crucial in the final third with 12 goals, 16 ‘big chances’ created, and 9 assists in 30 starts. To give Leeds the best chance of success in such a critical match, Farke must bring James back into the starting lineup. This means dropping Brenden Aaronson, who has struggled with form, having contributed just two goals and no assists in his last 19 appearances. With James in the starting XI, Leeds’ attack would feature a dynamic trio of James, Gnonto, and Manor Solomon, giving them the edge they need to secure promotion.

Manor Solomon Drops Unexpected Injury Bombshell After Leeds United’s Victory Over Oxford United!

April 19, 2025 RAYMOND 0

Leeds United’s 2-0 victory over Oxford United on Friday evening brought them a step closer to securing automatic promotion, maintaining their five-point lead over Sheffield United. Despite Oxford’s chances, Leeds had the better opportunities and could have won by a larger margin. Manor Solomon’s goal proved pivotal in ensuring the win, which was crucial after Burnley and Sheffield United had both won earlier in the day.

Looking ahead, Leeds’ next challenge is against Stoke City at Elland Road, with just three games remaining. Solomon, who was substituted late on, reassured fans that his early exit was due to cramp, not injury, and he would be fit for the Stoke match. To secure promotion, Leeds need at least four points from their remaining fixtures, with Sheffield United’s results playing a key role in determining how many points will be needed.

As the season draws to a close, Oxford United and Stoke City are among the teams looking to escape the looming threat of relegation. Oxford, currently 17th with 48 points, has gained crucial momentum with three wins in their last five matches, putting them six points clear of the bottom three. Their upcoming Easter fixtures give them a chance to secure survival, with a pivotal clash against Cardiff City on Easter Monday. A win in that match could put them nine points ahead of Cardiff, virtually guaranteeing their safety.

Stoke City, sitting just one place below Oxford in 18th with 47 points, breathed a sigh of relief after a late win over Cardiff. With a five-point gap above the relegation zone, they now face a challenging set of fixtures, including tough away games against Leeds United and Sheffield United. The team will need to pick up points from their upcoming matches, with their best-case scenario being that teams currently in the bottom three fail to make up ground, allowing Stoke to breathe easier as they head into their final stretch.
