I am not completely on top of this but the Finance guys at Leeds and Leicester probably needed talking out of throwing themselves off a window ledge this morning. The rebuilding which is possible will be tiny compared with the knocking down needed first. Leicester's wages are 260% of their 2023/4 income including their parachute payment. Leicester do apparently have a 50% relegation salary cut in their contracts unlike... Good luck to Leeds getting rid of these: Players Base Salary Weekly Wages Position Contracts Illan Meslier £3.1m £65k GK 2026 Kristoffer Klaesson £1.2m £25k GK 2025 Joel Robles (new signing) £1m £21k GK 2023 Pascal Struijk £2.8m £60k DEF 2027 Robin Koch £3.6m £75k DEF 2024 Diego Llorente £3.1m £65k DEF 2026 Maximilian Wöber (new signing) £2.8m £60k DEF 2027 Liam Cooper £2.2m £45k DEF 2024 Junior Firpo £2.8m £60k DEF 2025 Leo Fuhr Hjelde £480k £10k DEF 2025 Rasmus Kristensen (new signing) £2.2m £45k DEF 2027 Cody Drameh £750k £16k DEF 2024 Luke Ayling £1m £21k DEF 2023 Stuart Dallas £816k £17k DEF 2024 Marc Roca (new signing) £2.8m £60k MID 2026 Tyler Adams (new signing) £4m £85k MID 2027 Mateusz Klich £2.64m £55k MID 2024 Adam Forshaw £800k £16.6k MID 2023 Brenden Aaronson (new signing) £4.8m £100k MID 2027 Sam Greenwood £1m £21k MID 2026 Jack Harrison £5.76m £120k MID 2024 Luis Sinisterra (new signing) £4.8m £100k MID 2027 Crysencio Summerville £1.2m £25k MID 2026 Wilfried Gnonto (new signing) £2.1m £44k SS 2027 Rodrigo £3.6m £75k FW 2024 Patrick Bamford £4m £85k FW 2026 Joe Gelhardt £1.1m £24k FW 2027

Wednesday or Barnsley to complete next season fixture list? Wednesday if there is any justice after that Posh come back and their regular season points haul. That said, Wednesday as currently set up look a lot more beatable as a Championship side. Barnsley look like being awkward opposition.

Yes the Premier League is over for both of those clubs. JDT has been a builder throughout his career. Don't think maximising revenue from a fire sale is the kind of project he would relish. I would be far more concerned if the likes of Brighton, Brentford, Fulham or West Ham were to have a vacancy.

Amari Bell always looked like he'd mixed up his energy gell and sleeping tablets playing for us.

First time in history the top division in England has averaged over 40,000 attendance over all league games all season. Obviously cannot be repeated next season.

Fabulous in Brussels.

And two posts above this there is a post saying he thought it insane at the time.

Except Bournemouth always thrash them...

My recollection is we had an option to make Bercovic permanent and the player himself really wanted it. There are enough posts to have made my point that the Tugay signing divided the fans. Here's hoping mention of Tugay and Bercovic on Niall's thread rubs magic onto his performances this year!

Eyal Berkovic (who was slightly younger) was released to make space for Tugay.

You don't have to go that far back. Seven games in our relegation season were, shall we say, iffy. And a Rovers player was on his own in all five top leagues in Europe that season for highest number of own goals scored- not Shane Duffy forcing a transfer by his performance at Cardiff...

You don't have to be that old to remember Luton being in what was the First Division and winning silverware. In fact Luton voted for the formation of the Premier League so it isn't that long ago. Prior to that the previous time they got relegated from the First Division was a few days after I was born...

Tugay signing wasn't popular when it happened.

I fell off my seat at how cheap those menu prices are. Anyway, if Mrs JDT is opening an establishment in Whalley, I would guess it will be more Noma than Holly Tree Chippy.

Luton have the plot of land but haven't started work on it yet. This promotion will buy them the new stadium. Quite something to go from the top division, out of the league and back to the top again. Glad that handball at Ewood hasn't catapulted Coventry into the Premier League. Just explained to my Everton supporting stepson that Luton will be using their superior financial strength to take their pick of Everton players after relegation tomorrow... He didn't quite see it that way.

The BBC coverage of football is a complete and utter joke. Beyond the Premier League, there is close to zero interest shown by the BBC. The listing of games tomorrow is below. The richest single game in all world football is at Wembley tomorrow but is less important to the BBC than Brighton Women v Leicester Women.

The video got me smiling. Welcome to Ewood Niall!

But we'd prefer Wigan's owners...

Not a calorie on a Maltese burger pie... JDT sticks to roll mops...

Norwich have a set piece coach. Earlier this season they scored from a Harlem Globetrotters type free kick move and all rushed over to the set piece coach to celebrate on the touch line. They still lost at home...

Window opens officially on 14 June. Until then its all behind curtains...

Leicester down this year, Spurs down next?

Rovers will have a price at which an offer for Adam will get referred to Pune. Below that, the answer is no and every poster on here should know that. Gregg Broughton has indicated that whatever that number is for Adam, it is already something astronomical. We know what happened to offers for BBD which were under 15 million and he went for free, and Adam is on a 5 year contract. My concern currently is Newcastle have a transfer budget of at least 100m but for some reason are wage restricted. That's a recipe for a big cash offer for a 19 year old.

Echoing Slot not slotted at Tot. https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/breaking-arne-slot-tottenham-feyenoord-30071663?utm_source=mirror_newsletter&utm_campaign=football_newsletter2&utm_medium=email After doing the tabloid headline writers job for them, looking more likely that Ratcliffe will be announced as preferred manU bidder tomorrow in which case Potter is more likely to be sorted. The way PSV ditched Van Nistelrooy would suggest that is not a good place to be. Incidentally, before. we get carried away with Dutch giants https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_professional_sports_leagues_by_revenue The revenue of the Eredivisie is about 8% of the Premier League and a fraction over half that of the Championship.

Broughton has pretty well answered that one Jim without disclosing names obviously. For what it's worth, I don't think it is an automatic given that JDT would leave even though it would seem at least one if not both Feyernoord and PSV are interested. It depends on JDT life plans and how he sees the best route to fulfil his ambitions and equally his view on managing downside risk. If he is still here, I will be incredibly happy. JDT is a class act as a coach and a person but it would also mean something has made him doubly believe in the Rovers project.
