Wrexham's Championship rivals looking for new manager
The Canaries have confirmed the appointment of Liam Manning as the club's new head coach after meeting the £800,000 release clause in his contract at Ashton Gate. Manning – who was born in Norwich and had a spell in the Norfolk club's academy – takes over at Carrow Road following the departure of Johannes Hoff Thorup towards the end of last season, with Jack Wilshere having later also left following a brief interim spell in charge. Norwich said Manning's appointment came 'following an extensive recruitment process'. The 39-year-old former MK Dons and Oxford boss guided Bristol City into the Championship play-offs last season, where the Robins were beaten in both legs of the semi-final by Sheffield United. 'I'm privileged and honoured to have the opportunity to work for this fantastic football club. It's a wonderful club with a big history and tradition,' Manning said to Michael Carrick has left his post as Middlesbrough head coach. The former Manchester United midfielder leaves the Teesside outfit after missing out on a play-off place in the season just concluded. Carrick, who previously had a spell as United caretaker manager, had been in charge at Boro since October 2022. Ryan Mason has left Tottenham to take over as West Brom head coach on a three-year deal. Mason quickly emerged as a leading candidate for the Championship club after they dismissed Tony Mowbray on April 21. Spurs' roller-coaster 2024-25 campaign – in which they secured Europa League success – only ended on May 25 and forced West Brom to bide their time but Mason, after a short holiday, decided to accept their offer and take his first step into management. Millwall head coach Alex Neil has signed a new deal with the Lions, who say the contract is 'for the foreseeable future.' Sheffield Wednesday, meanwhile, have been charged by the EFL for 'multiple breaches' relating to the club's payment obligations. In March, the Championship club failed to pay the players their salaries on time due to what were described as 'cashflow' issues. It has since been reported there were also problems with payments for May – which are also said to have included non-playing club staff and other employees. The EFL described the situation as 'clearly concerning', with the governing body 'considering all the options available' and confirmed formal action had now been initiated. 'Sheffield Wednesday Football Club has been charged with multiple breaches of EFL Regulations relating to payment obligations,' a statement from the EFL read. 'The owner of Sheffield Wednesday, Dejphon Chansiri, has also been charged with causing the club to be in breach of EFL Regulations despite his commitment to fund the cash requirements of the club.'

EFL charges Sheffield Wednesday over payment delays
Sheffield Wednesday have been charged by the English Football League with multiple breaches of its regulations relating to payment obligations. Owner Dejphon Chansiri has also been charged with "causing the club to be in breach of EFL Regulations despite his commitment to fund their cash requirements". The charges relate to the club failing to pay players' wages on time and in full in both March and May this year. The club and Chansiri have 14 days to respond to the charges. Wednesday said in a statement on the club website: "The club continue to seek a resolution regarding outstanding salaries due for the month of May at the earliest possible opportunity. "Mr Chansiri sincerely apologises to all players, coaches and staff affected and everyone connected with the club." Sheff Wed wage payments delayed again March's wages were eventually paid in full on 7 April, with the club saying it was a "temporary issue" due to debts owed to Chansiri, whose family control the Thai Union Group, the world's largest producer of canned tuna. The Thai businessman has been in charge of the Hillsborough side for 10 years and his tenure has been littered with financial issues. Wednesday were placed under a registration embargo in both 2023-24 and 24-25 seasons and were deducted six points in 20-21, a season where they were relegated from the second tier, for breaching spending rules. They finished 12th in the Championship last season in their second season back after winning promotion from League One.

Leicester charged over alleged financial breaches
Relegated Premier League club Leicester have been charged with alleged financial breaches during their Championship campaign in 2023-24. The Foxes are accused of breaking Football League financial rules, with the case referred to an independent commission by the Premier League. Leicester, who will be back in the Championship next term following their relegation from the top-flight this season, could be handed a points deduction if they are found guilty. A Premier League spokesman said: "Following an Arbitration Tribunal's decision concerning jurisdiction, Leicester City FC has now been referred to an independent Commission for alleged breaches of the EFL Championship Profit and Sustainability Rules for Season 2023/24, and the club's obligation to provide full, complete and prompt assistance to the Premier League in response to the League's enquiries." The Football League added in a statement: "The EFL commenced an investigation into this reporting period following the March 2024 submissions and as is permitted in accordance with EFL Regulations, jurisdiction for that passed to the Premier League at the conclusion of the 2023/24 season on the Club's promotion. "We will now await the outcome of the Premier League proceedings." In their own statement, Leicester responded: "The club intends to engage co-operatively in this matter now that the Premier League's jurisdiction has been established for the period ending FY24 (financial year 2024)." Earlier this season, Leicester won an appeal that prevented the Premier League from charging them for breaching profit and sustainability rules during their top-flight campaign in 2022-23. Leicester claimed the Premier League did not have jurisdiction to charge them because they were competing in the Championship at the time of the case. The Premier League challenged Leicester's successful appeal, but a tribunal ruled in the club's favour. "The club is pleased that it successfully defended the Premier League's challenge to the Appeal Board decision in relation to the PSR assessment period ending FY23, which was the main focus of these proceedings," Leicester said. The latest financial accusations are another blow for third-bottom Leicester in a dismal season. Foxes boss Ruud van Nistelrooy is waiting to discover if he will remain in charge next term or be sacked for failing to save them from relegation. Leicester have won just six of their 37 league games and finish the season at Bournemouth on Sunday. smg/pi
