How much Angus Kinnear earns at Leeds United as Everton move nears — Football League World 3/3/25

-

By Khai Smith

Leeds United's 49ers owners have been excellent for the club, and after the team missed out on promotion to the Premier League last season, they look set to make their return to the top flight for the 2025/26 campaign.

There is a great desire to maintain the positive momentum that the Whites have going into the final weeks and months of the season, but off the field, unwanted disruption has occurred with Everton set to announce Angus Kinnear is set to join as the new CEO, according to The Daily Mail.

The 47-year-old has been the Chief Executive at Elland Road since 2017, coming in after Andrea Radrizzani completed his takeover. He helped oversee the club's rise back to the Premier League in 2020 following more play-off heartbreak the year prior, before their eventual relegation back to the second tier in 2023.

Football League World has taken a look at how much Kinnear is reported to be earning at Leeds, as the Toffees close in on a deal to bring him in.

Kinnear is reported to be earning an incredibly high six-figure wage

The Whites know that anything other than promotion would be a failure this season, and therefore they have required maximum effort from every single person at the club.

On the pitch, Daniel Farke and his team have been excellent and they stand a superb chance of not only finishing in the top two, but in fact winning the Championship league title for the second time in five years.

It is this efficiency at the very top that Everton's new owners, The Freidkin Group (TFG), are targeting as the Premier League side are currently operating without a permanent CEO following Denise Barrett-Baxendale's resignation in the summer of 2023.

Colin Chong has been in an interim role at the Toffees since, but Kinnear is set to take over in the summer as the Merseyside outfit make the switch from Goodison Park to the new Bramley-Moore Stadium.

Leeds' Chief Executive is currently on an open-ended contract in LS11 with Football Insider reporting in 2023 that he is earning £569,000-a-year. However, this may have changed slightly due to the club's relegation from the Premier League.

Everton are entering a crucial time in their history

The last decade has been a roller coaster for Everton and supporters will be hoping that the calm that David Moyes has instilled on the pitch continues into the new season with their top flight status looking all but secured.

Moving to the new, 55,000-capacity stadium also brings the club a new level of prestige with the Toffees modernising with the belief that they can return to their former glories, or at least to the top half of the table for now.

Kinnear has helped Leeds hugely in their transition from the previous ownership to the current one and the West Yorkshire side are in an extremely secure position right now as they look to return to the Premier League.

Nevertheless, his departure will be a huge loss for the Whites and a massive gain for Everton, with it looking likely that the two teams will meet at least twice next season.

Leeds United transfer double development with striker so far unavailable and defender 'bafflement' — YEP 30/1/25

-
By Graham Smyth A striker viewed by Leeds United as a possible reinforcement for Daniel Farke’s attacking options has so far been declared unavailable by his club. The Whites have long admired Cameron Archer of Southampton and made enquiries in previous windows but as reports emerge that an approach has been rejected by the Saints, the YEP understands that Leeds will continue to monitor his situation. Southampton are not currently willing to sanction an exit for a player who has started 10 games in the Premier League and made 25 appearances in all competitions so far this season. Archer, 23, has scored five goals for the Saints, only two of which came in league action. He has previously proven prolific at Championship level in loan spells for both Preston North End and Middlesbrough. Southampton have already shipped on one striker in the January transfer window, with the loan move of Ben Brereton Diaz to Leeds’ title rivals Sheffield United. The Chilean international struggled fo...

The huge initial fee Leeds are set to receive for Crysencio Summerville’s move to West Ham — Leeds United News 31/7/24

-
Will Butcher West Ham United are closing in on a deal to sign Crysencio Summerville from Leeds United, and Ben Jacobs has shared how much Leeds will receive for the Dutchman. The 22-year-old has been strongly linked with the Elland Road exit door all summer and was targeted as the one big sale Leeds needed to make before the Profit & Sustainability Rules deadline this month. But instead, Leeds sold Archie Gray for £40m to Tottenham. Leeds have since sold five more players in the form of Diego Llorente, Marc Roca, Kris Klaesson and Charlie Cresswell – raking in around £60m in total. But more exits were always likely and Fabrizio Romano reported on Wednesday afternoon that West Ham had agreed personal terms with Summerville, and talks for a fee were ongoing with the Yorkshire side. Now, the story has moved on with multiple sources claiming a deal is done between Leeds and Angus Kinnear’s old club. The Dutchman is expected to sign a five-year at the London Stadium, until Jun...
