Farke won't be going anywhere next season and rightly so . He needs another season regardless .
However couple things that have annoyed me with him
He talks about the amount of games and player welfare - however he threw Rutter straight back in team after hernia surgery, he hasn't looked the same player since.
After the international break we really should have used the squad, to me
The Welsh lads needed a break, we have players they are not getting any minutes at all. He is also saying about how young the team is and the average age yet he was willing to let Ayling go and continue with gray week in week out . I definitely think he's made a few errors and the last few weeks Farke has panicked and was not willing to change.

Its easy to claim things would have been different had we done this, that or the other but then if it doesn't work everyone moans that it should have been left the same. look at archie, many moaned he wasn't in midfield, then he was moved to midfield and hasn't done so well. People moan about Bamford then he doesn't play vs QPR and we are all wishing he did.
Damned if you do, damned if you don't.
Fact is we don't know for sure what is a 'mistake' and what isn't, and that's what makes it so easy to be an armchair manager, so why not let the expert make the decisions?

My thoughts entirely Alf. Some may say Farke is paid a lot of money and should not make errors.
The onslaught of the relentless demanding pressure on coaches/ managers by fans and media is way beyond anything reasonable these days.
It’s instant success or the sack, there’s very rarely anything in between.
Then of course there is Jesse Marsch!

SF49ers will give DF another season.
Will he learn from his numerous mistakes this season. Doubt it.

They mainly get paid out right opti?
They want to succeed mainly to increase their pay demands. Few exceptions which I won’t get into.
Biesla has class and tried his best.
Jesse was a wNker with no class and no talent.
But both got paid out.
Put failure mode into managers contract like success mode. I’ve said this before. Which is diff to I told you so.
Anyway. Won’t get into it now.
Eve of Armageddon.

DF has reached a record points tally for third, the highest in 20 years, which begs the question, what mistakes? Just putting it out there! I mean any other season and we are promoted! ????.

Farke has been a great success for this season in my opinion, he may of made some errors in his selections but all managers do, name me a manager who’s never made an error?
As Woody said, you don’t make many errors if you are breaking Leeds United records like points tally’s and most league wins in succession since 1931.
The inexperience of some of his very young players has denied Farke of getting this team over the line.
It does my head in that players don’t cop much flak when results don’t go the teams way, managers are always the scapegoat.
Of course Baz knows better though, but I don’t hear many Leeds fans calling for his appointment ?.

Plenty Woody.

Woody
On these pages and Leeds match day live thread you yourself have said DF has made mistakes in quite a few matches.
03 May 2024 16:12:48
On the contrary OP . Mes and co are definitely culpable too.
03 May 2024 16:40:04
I have Baz you are correct, and please excuse me if it seems I’ve been guilty of double standards, but I’ve never said he has been a failure or indeed should be sacked. I like him as a manager, he has a connection with us the supporters, he has been amazing, but he has made a mistake or two and he even admits to that. It has been a soul destroying month after such an amazing start to the year. He seems to of been guilty of overplaying the team when maybe it just needed to be brought back and simplified after the first defeat back after the international break. ??.
03 May 2024 16:43:07
I also was referring to major mistakes when I said I was just putting it out there. To be honest after the start we had I did wonder if he would be ok but he has proved that we need to trust him Baz. ??.

OK Woody cheers for clarification ?.
