Phil: Similar to the Iraola question, will Marco Silva still be manager of FFC come next season?

Simon Stone: Hiya Phil. Similar to the Iraola answer...ha. In fairness, there has been more noise around Silva and he is more experienced in terms of the Premier League and the challenges it presents so will have a more realistic view of what can be achieved at Fulham. They have just had their third mid-table finish but I got the strong feeling around March-time that Silva felt Europe, either through the league or FA Cup, was a possibility. He will want improvement. If he doesn't think he will get it, Silva is bound to start looking at his options.

Andy, Leeds: Given the size of our fan base and stadium, being a London club, and having recently won a European trophy, why do West Ham struggle to attract and afford bigger-name players? Is our board to blame for the way it runs things?

Simon Stone: Hiya Andy. I am not sure what you mean by 'big names'. West Ham spent a lot of money on Mohammed Kudus, Jarrod Bowen, Lucas Paqueta etc. What they can't do is spend lots of money on players who are going to sit on the bench (they have spent a lot on players who ended up sitting on the bench but that is different).

West Ham did win a European trophy and under David Moyes qualified for Europe for three seasons in a row. But that was something they had never done before in their entire history - and in two of their last three seasons, they have finished 14th, which is around where they have tended to finish.

I have always felt there was potential for growth at West Ham - but competition in the Premier League is harder than its ever been. Newcastle and Aston Villa are similar sized clubs but have qualified for the Champions League under relatively new and hugely ambitious owners. West Ham have lost the momentum they had under David Moyes. They can get it back under Graham Potter but it takes time.

Crystal Palace

Crystal Palace supporters are hoping this will be a start of a new chapter for the club after they lifted their first major trophy with victory over Manchester City in the FA Cup final at Wembley. The financial windfall, coming also with a place in European football next season, should enable them to spend significantly in the market this summer.

Who are they linked with?

Palace will look for more numbers with the prospect of Europa League football during the upcoming campaign while their manager Oliver Glasner will also be of high demand. So keeping the top performers at the club should take precedence for the FA Cup winners.

How much can they spend?

Palace have been consistent financially in recent seasons and posted a loss of only £27m in 2023-24 with their turnover increasing by £10m and matchday revenue rising 10% to £14m. They will be further boosted by their FA Cup triumph and qualification for the Europa League, meaning a big summer is on the horizon for the Eagles.

What about departures?

Marc Guehi, Eberechi Eze, Adam Wharton, Jean-Philippe Mateta and Tyrick Mitchell will be among the Palace stars who will interest other clubs. Defender Joel Ward will leave Palace in the summer after 13 years with the club while Jeffrey Schlupp will also join him through the exit doors after eight-and-a-half years in south London.

Position: Left-back

Nationality: Algerian

Age: 23

Transfer status: Manchester City are keen to sign the Wolves defender, although there has been no club-to-contact yet.

Why do Man City want him?: Pep Guardiola has been without an orthodox left-back since Benjamin Mendy in August 2021.

The City boss has made it a priority to recruit a left-back and Ait-Nouri would be a sensible option, having made 135 Premier League appearances since joining Wolves from Angers in October 2020.

Ait-Nouri has been a mainstay at left-wing back for Wolves and brings bags of energy and ability on the ball, which includes an 87% passing accuracy last season.

How was his 2024-25 campaign?: Ait-Nouri made seven assists last term - the joint-highest at Wolves alongside Jean‐Ricner Bellegarde. He also had a 64% tackle success rate.

Burnley

Burnley earned a return to the Premier League after finishing second in the Championship but they will have an uphill task next season to maintain their top-flight status. With the gap between the two divisions getting bigger and bigger, getting the recruitment right during the summer could make or break their season.

Who are they linked with?

Burnley have already confirmed that the loan quartet of Jaidon Anthony, Marcus Edwards, Bashir Humphreys and Zian Flemming will all join the club permanently. Anthony scored eight goals for the club on loan from Bournemouth while Flemming netted 14 goals to help Scott Parker's side secure automatic promotion. The club have also said they are in discussions with out-of-contract trio Josh Brownhill, CJ Egan-Riley and Ashley Barnes.

How much can they spend?

Having been in the Championship for two years out of the past three, Burnley may need to be conservative with their PSR loss limited to £61m. Aside from Sunderland, the Clarets are the only Premier League side yet to go above the £20m mark in a single player purchase. Burnley chairman Alan Pace recently said that he does not anticipate it will be as busy as last summer at the club.

What about departures?

The Clarets released Nathan Redmond and Jonjo Shelvey following promotion to the Premier League while Jeremy Sarmiento will return to Brighton after his loan spell.

Sean: Of the three promoted teams, which will survive if any and why? If so, who do you consider is in danger of dropping into the bottom three?

Nick Mashiter: The gulf between the Premier League and the Championship is only growing, as we have seen in the last two seasons.

The quality in the Championship has dropped over the last few years too, owing to a number of factors like Brexit limiting the pool of players. Although the introduction of the Elite Significant Contribution (ESC) system in 2023 helps. That allows clubs to sign foreign players who can make a significant contribution, even if they don't meet Governing Body Endorsement requirements.

There are others like the financial issues Covid caused - though they have ended this season - and Premier League clubs hoarding more players as the amount of games increases.

That's a small tangent...

Out of the promoted clubs, Leeds seem the strongest to survive. Daniel Farke knows how unforgiving the Premier League is after his struggles at Norwich and that experience alone - maybe he will adapt more - will help Leeds in any battle to stay up.

In terms of anyone dropping into the bottom three it's so hard, Wolves and Everton looked in real danger last season before managerial changes but survived by 17 and 23 points respectively. Promoted sides not only have to rely on themselves but also an established club suffering a huge drop off.

News emerged last week that Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes is giving serious consideration to quitting the club to take up a lucrative offer at Saudi Pro-League club Al-Hilal.

The Portugal international's representatives are said to have met Al-Hilal officials for further discussions about a move that would allow the 30-year-old to take part in the forthcoming Fifa Club World Cup.

The issue has been the topic of conversation on United's current tour of Asia, with boss Ruben Amorim saying on Friday he thinks the player "wants to stay".

While Fernandes has remained focused and continues to take his responsibilities as captain seriously, he has offered no guarantees about his future, which has led to some thinking he is ready to leave.

Manchester United are said to be relaxed about the situation.

Hi, Suffering Man Utd fan! Do you think they should sell Bruno Fernandes and reinvest in a couple of players? I can’t make my mind up if he is part of the problem through no fault of his own as we are so reliant on him!

Simon Stone: Oh my goodness, where do you start with this? By some considerable distance, Fernandes is Manchester United's most effective attacking player. He is the one they rely on to create, score goals, galvanise the team and lead. Aside from that, he is a pivotal figure off the field, tries to guide young players around what it means to be a young player and the behaviours and scrutiny that entails.

If he left, it would be absolutely huge. On the negative side, I accept his approach does not help when it comes to a 'system' because if he has a flaw, it is his positional discipline, which can create massive problems for his team-mates. I actually thought Erik ten Hag found the answer when he played him as a false nine in the FA Cup final against Manchester City but Ruben Amorim is not heading down that route, so if he stays it will either be as one of two number 10s or as a holding midfielder.

Given his age and where United are, I would be inclined to sell. But, and it is a very big but, they have to buy well and so many alarm bells go off in my head when I think of that because of United's overall recent record.

Jamie: Wolves fan here - just looking ahead to next season and some noise about it (potentially) being a busy window for us. Just wondering what Simon's take on our current position is and what sort of business we could realistically be expecting this summer? Additionally do you think someone will try to poach Vitor Pereira away from us?

Simon Stone: Hiya Jamie. I think it has the potential to be a busy summer. As usual, Jeff Shi will be trying to balance the books while putting a competitive team on the field.

The news around Ait-Nouri and Manchester City is to be expected and coming off the back of Matheus Cunha's exit, does weaken Vitor Pereira's squad. Clearly, Wolves have been here before in the last few seasons and have always managed to find a solution. They will believe they have have the answers again this summer. But it always feels a delicate balance. Vitor Pereira will know this and be prepared for it. He seems very committed to the club and its fans so I don't expect him to be looking elsewhere just yet.

Adding a bit more meat on the bones to any possible move to Manchester City for Wolves' Rayan Ait-Nouri...

There has yet to be any direct club-to-club contact for the left back but all parties are away of City's interest.

Wolves are unlikely to stand in the 23-year-old's way, despite wanting to keep him, after almost five years at Molineux.

They will, of course, look to get the best deal they can and have the option to buy out Angers' 50 per cent sell on from the permanent deal with brought Ait-Nouri to Wolves in 2021. That is expected to be a formality.

If Wolves were able to bring in around £100m from the sales of Matheus Cunha to Manchester United - the forward completed a £62.5m move over the weekend - and Ait-Nouri so early it would give the club and boss Vitor Pereira more time and money to plan effectively and shape the squad over the summer.

Alex: With clubs circling, release clauses, and contracts running down, what are the chances of Crystal Palace keeping the squad together for our first European adventure?

Alex Howell: The ideal for everyone at Palace and particularly supporters is that they keep hold of all of the key components of their team.

However, as Palace supporters know, that is not how football works.

According to sources, Eze’s release clause kicks back in this summer and Marc Guehi enters his final year.

Those scenarios take a level of control away from Palace but having European football definitely helps when looking to persuade a player to stay.

Brighton & Hove Albion

After finishing eighth in the Premier League with 61 points, Brighton's biggest challenge during the summer transfer window will likely be keeping hold of the likes of Joao Pedro, Carlos Baleba and Kaoru Mitoma, who are all attracting admiring glances from clubs with bigger budgets.

Who are they linked with?

Winger Tommy Watson has joined the club after scoring a 95th-minute winner for Sunderland in the Championship play-off final while South Korean attacker Yoon Do-young is also joining them this summer. The Seagulls will also be interested in signing a full-back, with Kyle Walker-Peters an option after the right-back left relegated Southampton.

How much can they spend?

Brighton have earned £200m in profit over the previous two seasons and could repeat last summer's heavy spend of more than £200m if necessary. But chief executive Paul Barber has already indicated they will more likely return to their tried and tested model of bringing in relatively unheard of players from unfamiliar markets.

What about departures?

According to Talksport, external, Brighton have reportedly put £100m price tags on 23-year-old Brazil forward Joao Pedro and 21-year-old Cameroon midfielder Carlos Baleba to fend off interest from Liverpool, Newcastle and Chelsea. Winger Kaoru Mitoma has also been heavily linked with a move to Bayern Munich in the summer.
