Ireland international Cyrus Christie looks set to leave Derby County in the coming days. The right-back looks surplus to requirements at Pride Park following the £4.5m acquisition of Liverpool’s Andre Wisdom at the weekend, and as such has been attracting interest from Middlesbrough and Sheffield Wednesday.

Leeds United defender Charlie Taylor may not be at Elland Road for much longer, but the club will still hit him in the pocket on the way out for his ill-discipline.

Leeds United were a Premier League club the last time Arsenal and Arsene Wenger lifted the Premier League trophy, thirteen years ago.

You would think a manager’s job is safe when he has only been in the role for two months; however, news that Garry Monk is fighting to save his job as manager of Leeds United, having only been appointed in June, comes as little surprise given the history of their club’s owner, Massimo Cellino. Former Swansea City manager Monk was installed as …

The Premier League has seen its fair share of sacked managers this season, and when you take a look at the shocking statistics behind those dismissals it’s obvious why they were shown the door. English league football is a cut-throat affair when you take a look at the managerial merry-go-round that sees on average 40 managers losing their job each season …

Despite coming through the Euro 2016 qualifying group with a 100% win rate, the future of England manager Roy Hodgson will not be resolved until after the tournament this summer.

Pep Guardiola once described him as “the best manager in the world” but if Swansea do, as has been heavily speculated this week, appoint Marcelo Bielsa as their new manager, they will be taking a massive risk.
