PREMIER LEAGUE SURVIVAL SPECIALIST GARY O'NEIL LINED UP BY LEEDS
Leeds United is considering former Bournemouth and Wolves boss Gary O'Neil to replace Daniel Farke, valuing his Premier League survival track record.
Reports say Gary O'Neil might be heading back into management soon.
StadiumNest understands that the 42-year-old is being considered to take Daniel Farke's spot at Leeds United, should the German be dismissed.
After being promoted last season, Leeds is currently 18th in the Premier League.
Farke's team has been struggling, losing their last four games and not winning in their last eight league matches.
This poor performance has increased the pressure on the Leeds coach lately.
One angry fan even confronted him at Elland Road during last month's loss to Aston Villa.
There are whispers that Ange Postecoglou and Brendan Rodgers are also being considered if Leeds decides to make a change.
Leeds is facing a tough series of games, having recently played against Villa and Manchester City.
They're set to play Chelsea on Wednesday and then host Liverpool on Saturday night.
Even with their struggles, Leeds is only in the bottom three because of goals scored. They could jump up to 16th if they beat Chelsea.
O'Neil's name has come up as a possible candidate for Leeds, given his experience with Premier League relegation battles.
He has a track record of keeping both Bournemouth and Wolves in the top league.
He took over from Scott Parker at Bournemouth in the 2022/23 season.
When he joined in August, Bournemouth had just three points from four games and had just suffered a 9-0 defeat to Liverpool.
O'Neil went on to win 10 of his 34 Premier League games, securing a 15th-place finish and staying out of relegation by five points.
After leaving Bournemouth at the end of that season, he became the manager of Wolves just two months later.
Again, O'Neil ensured survival, with his team finishing 14th.
He stayed in charge until December 2024 and has been out of the dugout since then.
O'Neil has been mentioned for a few jobs recently, including a possible return to Southampton.
He also turned down the chance to go back to Wolves after his replacement, Vitor Pereira, was fired.
Sheffield United also showed interest in O'Neil last summer after their play-off final loss at Wembley Stadium.
£35M LOSS: ANALYZING THE COLLAPSE OF HARVEY ELLIOTT'S MANDATORY VILLA TRANSFER
Harvey Elliott's loan to Aston Villa is ending early after just six months. The mandatory £35M purchase clause is now unlikely to be activated.
Harvey Elliott's time at Aston Villa might be cut short. Just six months after joining the club, he might be leaving in January.
The attacking midfielder came from Liverpool on a season-long loan on deadline day in September.
The deal with Villa included a requirement to buy him, plus clauses about selling him later or buying him back.
But, Elliott hasn't played much since joining Villa, even though they won against other teams in the Premier League and Europe to get him.
Unai Emery said that the club is looking at what to do with the 22-year-old before the next transfer window opens next month.
This comes after Elliott didn't travel with the team for their Europa League game against Basel on Thursday.
Emery talked about Elliott's future at Villa in a press conference before a game.
He said, We're talking with him about his situation.
He's not with us. We hope we can find the best solution for him and for us.
I respect him as a player and as a person. He's training well, but there's a situation with him.
Hopefully, we can find a solution for him to play often and continue his career, either with us or somewhere else.
Elliott has played in only five games for Villa since joining, scoring once.
His last game was a short four-minute appearance against Feyenoord in the Europa League in October.
He hasn't been in the squad for any of Villa's last seven Premier League games.
Emery added, I've spoken with him two or three times about the situation.
First, my decision and also the situation. He's on loan with us, but he's not really contributing to us with a permanent contract.
This is a setback for Liverpool.
Liverpool was supposed to get £35 million when Elliott's loan to Villa became a permanent deal.
But the requirement to buy him kicks in only if he plays in 10 games for the club.
So, the Reds will likely miss out on that money this summer since he's only played about half that many games.
If Elliott leaves Villa, he'll likely have to return to Anfield in January.
The former England under-21 player played twice for Liverpool this season before being loaned out.
FIFA rules say players can only play for two clubs in one season.
Elliott could get around this rule by joining a club in a league that runs from summer to winter, like those in the MLS.
BUNDESLIGA STAR: ANALYZING NATHANIEL BROWN'S FIT FOR TOTTENHAM'S DEFENSE
An analytical look at Nathaniel Brown's Bundesliga performance shows why he is a top target for Spurs. Can they beat out three major rivals for the defender?
According to a recent report from journalist Dean Jones, Tottenham Hotspur will have a tough time signing Eintracht Frankfurt left-back Nathaniel Brown. Spurs will have to compete with Manchester City, West Ham United, Manchester United, and Arsenal to get the German defender next year.
Brown has played well on Frankfurt’s left side this season. The 22-year-old has one goal and four assists in 20 games for the German club in all competitions.
The German player has shown he can defend well, with 30 tackles, 15 blocks, ten interceptions, and 16 clearances in the Bundesliga. He also passes the ball well from the left, with an 81.3% pass success rate in the German top league (stats via fbref.com).
His contract with the German club ends in the summer of 2030, so it won’t be easy for Tottenham to sign him next year.
Should Tottenham Hotspur Manager Thomas Frank Sign Brown?
Brown is a good tackler and times his challenges well to win the ball back. He clears the ball when the other team is attacking and is also a good passer.
The German player can score and assist goals from the left. Brown is mainly a left-back but can also play as a left-sided midfielder if needed. We’ll see if he can handle the Premier League’s physicality and intensity if Spurs sign him next year.
Brown would make Tottenham manager Thomas Frank’s defence better and deeper. He could earn a regular spot in the first team at the North London club in the years ahead.
At 22, Brown could become a star in English soccer if he keeps improving each season. Overall, Frank should sign him in 2026.
