🚨 Leicester part ways with Brendan Rodgers by "mutual agreement" after four years.

Rodgers won the 2021 FA Cup, and had two seasons challenging for top four. But he leaves #LCFC in the relegation zone.

Adam Sadler and Mike Stowell will take interim charge.
🗣️ Leicester City chairman Aiyawatt Srivaddhanaprabha: "The achievements of the team under Brendan’s management speak for themselves – we’ve experienced some of our finest footballing moments under his guidance and will always be grateful to him and his staff...
"Brendan embraced the culture of the Club and helped cultivate an outstanding developmental environment, particularly during the transition to Seagrave, and provided strong leadership during the unprecedented challenge of the pandemic. His place in #LCFC history is assured...

Dominant win for Newcastle at Leicester (who lacked bite). #NUFC move up to second and make it six-straight Premier League victories. Miguel Almiron has nine goals in 16 Premier League games. He needed 110 matches to score nine before this season. But everyone is contributing... Image
Chris Wood scored in the absence of the ill Callum Wilson, Kieran Trippier got the assist for Joelinton's header. Bruno got an assist and bossed the midfield. And Sven Botman was outstanding (his default state since joining).
Away at #LCFC post break, and after beating #CFC at home, was key to continuing momentum. Newcastle killed off game early and looked like a top-four side. #NUFC have Leeds left this year and are unbeaten in three months. And #AFC on January 3 is a chance to make a real statement.

Manchester United’s 2021/22 accounts cover a season when they finished 6th in the Premier League and were eliminated in the last 16 of the Champions League. Manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was replaced by Ralf Rangnick, since succeeded by Erik ten Hag. Some thoughts follow #MUFC
#MUFC pre-tax loss shot up from £24m to £150m, despite revenue rising £89m (18%) from £494m to £583m, thanks to recovery from COVID and return of fans to the stadium, plus profit on player sales increasing £15m to £22m, as expenses rose £154m (29%) after investment in the squad.
#MUFC operational decline was exacerbated by the impact of the weakening of Sterling on non-cash finance costs, as unrealised forex losses on unhedged USD borrowings meant that net interest experienced an adverse swing of £75m from £13m recoverable prior year to £62m payable.

The Premier League has published details of the TV payments to clubs for the 2021/22 season. These amounted to £2.5 bln, ranging from £153m for champions #MCFC to £101m for 20th placed #NCFC (the first time the bottom club got more than £100m).
The largest increases compared to the previous season came at #BHAFC, up £16m, and #AFC, up £11m. In contrast, three clubs received over £10m less than 2020/21: #LUFC £17m, #EFC £13m and #LCFC £11m.
Each of the 20 Premier League clubs received £87.5m as an equal share, coming from domestic rights £31.8m, overseas rights £48.9m and commercial revenue £6.8m.

In advance of football clubs starting to publish their accounts for the 2021/22 season, I thought it might be helpful to share some 2-page financial overviews for each of the Premier League clubs for 2020/21, including a comparison against prior year and a 5-year graphical trend.
These overviews also include Premier League rankings for each of the main financial categories, e.g. which club had the highest profit, loss, revenue, wages, debt, transfer spend, etc in 2020/21.
One caveat with these figures is that revenue was significantly impacted by COVID in 2020/21 with match day reduced to almost zero, as games were played behind closed doors, while some broadcasting income was deferred from 2019/20 for matches played after the accounting close.

Leicester are now prepared to sell Wesley Fofana. The club stance has softened after a series of meetings between Brendan Rodgers and Fofana. Chelsea’s third offer not expected to be £85m. There’s a real feeling a bid shy of £80m with a preferable structure could be accepted.
Leicester are tough negotiators but they want time, should they sell, to reinforce. That’s why the structure is important. #LCFC will also want a big chunk upfront.
Leicester sources have always said it will take a world-record fee for a defender, but still told #CFC trying for under £80m first. Chelsea also want a verbal agreement from direct talks rather than making ‘blind’ formal offers. This speeds up negotiation.

🗣️ Rodgers on whether Fofana asked to be left out or it was his decision. "It was both of us. It was off the back of an open conversion."

#CFC see Fofana as their top priority before the window shuts.
There has been lots of back and forth over both the number and structure. #CFC want to get as close to a 'final' offer as they can with imminent bid to put pressure on #LCFC, who still say valuation hasn't come close. But that stance is based on the two rejected bids.
Chelsea hope a deal is done before they host Leicester on August 27, not so much because they want Fofana for the fixture. Game itself doesn't really alter anything even though it's a nice subplot. It's to give them time to look elsewhere in the market if they don't succeed.
