    THE BIGGER PICTURE

    McElhenney and Reynolds will now attempt to forge a way out of the Championship and into the promised land of the Premier League. The club have already been linked with multiple big names and both Jamie Vardy and Kevin De Bruyne have been touted as potential targets. Signing either would be a remarkable show of strength for the club, although a deal for the Belgian may well be a fantastical concept.

  • WHAT MCELHENNEY SAID

    McElhenney wrote on X: "I have the greatest job in sports. All I have to do is sit back, watch the game and be eternally grateful. I’ve been blessed to meet the greatest people in the world."
