In addition to Nottingham Forest, Everton may face more penalties from the Premier League, having already been fined and docked six points.
Along with Leeds, Leicester City was also demoted, and if they are promoted, they may even begin the following season with less points
As previously stated, all three of those teams battled for survival with Leeds last season, so it is obvious that the Whites have every right to feel vindictive, especially since they complied with the law. In fact, the Athletic reports that those in the background are furious with their opponents because they failed to offload important players in the same manner that Leeds did, namely Raphinha and Kalvin Phillips.
Leeds annoyed at rivals after Phillips and Raphinha sales
Selling Leeds’ two top players was always going to be tough because the team had barely avoided relegation on the last day of the previous campaign.
According to The Athletic, Leeds brought in about £90 million from the two players, of which £42 million was earned by City from academy graduate Phillips.
Marc Roca shares whether he actually wants Leeds United to be promoted this season
The departure of Leeds’ main players funded the entire transfer window that summer, although multiple players were brought in as replacements because reinforcements were needed all over the pitch.
Billy Gnonto is the only player remained at Elland Road after the other players were either sold or sent on loan. In the end, the players that were brought in were not good enough, and Leeds was relegated.

Marc Roca says, “I can,” about his upcoming season. Leeds United’s new contract reveals that Marc Roca was among numerous players who left the team after the Whites were relegated on loan.
Marc Roca has stated that he hopes to play for Leeds United next season and has updated us on another contract clause.
After Leeds was relegated to the Championship last summer, a number of senior players, including Spanish midfielder Roca, left the club on loan to avoid relegation.
Roca, who is 27 years old, went on loan to Real Betis in La Liga for the 2023–24 season. During this time, Roca has started 24 games in the league and has also played in the Europa League and Europa Conference League.
According to Spanish reports, Betis supporters are extremely concerned about Roca’s future due to his significant impact on the team. The midfield player allegedly recently purchased a home in Seville.
Leeds, his parent club, has nine games remaining and is aiming for an instant return to the Premier League. With them, the fate of automatic promotion is in their hands.
Roca disclosed that his contract has a second loan exit release provision that allows him to go again.
Roca acknowledges that he is content at Betis, but he expresses his honest desire that Daniel Farke’s team will secure promotion and that he has given his agents the authority to decide his future.
Roca stated: “This year is covered by a clause. I can return to being on loan if Leeds is not in the Premier League. Check it out. Whether or not they rise is what matters.
“I have no control over these things. Sincerely, I hope they rise because I want the best for all the teams I’ve been a part of. It has been my home, and I am thankful to them and wish them the best. After that, we shall see.”
“The truth is that I am,” Roca continued.
