By Total Football News

After winning 12 of his 17 games in charge last season to guide United back into the Champions League after a two-year absence, Carrick was given a two-year contract.

However, as happened with Solskjaer five years ago, the new campaign has unravelled spectacularly and they are 13th in the Premier League, three points clear of bottom club Sunderland.

Although they recovered from their shock opening-day defeat to newly promoted Hull

Aaron McLean’s EFL takeaways: West Ham lose to Charlton and who are Championship’s team to beat?

By Total Football News

West Ham have made a disappointing start to the Championship season following relegation from the Premier League. After squandering a two-goal lead in their opening draw against Burnley, the Hammers lost 2-1 at home to Charlton on Saturday.

McLean: “I look at West Ham and think last season they were relegated because they weren’t good enough. They have come into the Championship, they almost need to hit rock bottom. I

Leicester City: Championship club lose appeal against six-point deduction

By Total Football News

Leicester were “disappointed” when it was announced they were docked six points on 5 February and described the punishment as “disproportionate”.

Under PSR, Premier League clubs cannot lose more than £105m over three years but the figure is reduced by £22m for every season a club spends outside the top flight.

Despite being charged by the Premier League, the EFL took on the case following their relegation last year and

By Total Football News

This wasn’t a game for the neutral to sit down with a cup of tea and enjoy two Championship teams going head to head.

It felt very much like a game that both teams were desperate not to lose.

With six minutes of normal time to play, it looked highly likely that both head coaches could have shaken hands and taken a point each. The sign of a goal coming

Coventry took the game to the hosts from the off as Jack Rudoni – one of four changes made by Lampard after Monday’s loss at Norwich City – headed the recalled Tatsuhiro Sakamoto’s second-minute cross over from six yards.

But Rangers created moments of their own early on as Karamoko Dembele, Harvey Vale and Kone all created chances.

Sunderland maintain fine home form as Wolves lose again

By Total Football News

Wolves were unfortunate not to take maximum points in their two previous matches against Tottenham and Brighton after conceding late equalisers.

Yet there are few positives they can extract from this trip to the North East.

Vitor Pereira’s side were second best for long periods, remain the only winless team in the English top flight and now appear in danger of being cut adrift at the bottom of the table.

Forest complained on X about three penalty decisions that went against them during a 2-0 Premier League defeat at Everton on 21 April 2024.

Elsewhere, the club’s turnover fell by more than £3m and increased investment into the playing squad.

With the player wage bill up by 40% to £19.9m, it resulted in an operating loss of just under £10m – down by £1.1m compared to the previous year – with the club again detailing reliance on the ongoing support of majority shareholder Tan.

By Total Football News

Leon Bailey scored a late winner as Aston Villa condemned Leicester to a fifth straight Premier League defeat.

The Jamaica forward made a late run into the box to tap home substitute Ian Maatsen’s low cross in the 78th minute for his first goal of the season.

It had looked like Ruud van Nistelrooy’s visitors would end their losing run after Stephy Mavididi equalised Villa’s opener in the 64th minute,
