Question being asked should DF be sacked?
Imo no because I believe he will get us promoted this season.
However, and this will sound tough, I would still move on from him after promotion.
I may be wrong but i don't think he's good enough for the EPL.
I can't think of a worse scenario than Leeds getting promoted and then sacking him at Christmas because we're in the bottom 3 after spending millions.
Football is a tough business and there's no room for sentiment.
So let's get promoted and get in a top coach who can move us forward.

i agree cork, i still think we will get promoted this season ( need a couple in jan) , but i’d be tempted to look at other coaches after this season.
01 Dec 2024 22:02:41
I believe we may have klop waiting in the wings, no doubt if that’s the case we should pull the trigger
However on what grounds is farke not good enough for prem? He gave it a decent go twice with poor team and budget of pennies
Again just for clarification Belisa spent more the year leeds got promoted (45 million) than farke spent both season in prem put together
I don’t understand the farke hate or lack of trust. He is a very good manager however klop is one of the best if not the best in the world.

Great post Corky and I completely agree with you, Melbourne and Bermo regarding Farke.
As cruel as it sounds for me Farke will get us promoted but I really don’t think he would be strong enough in the Premiership, so as you say let’s get a more savvy leader. Farke is proven in the Championship but definitely not in the Premiership ?.
02 Dec 2024 00:42:40
Hmmm exactly what I said earlier in posts below Woodster. give Farke the season. but upgrade if promoted.
02 Dec 2024 01:04:59
This is where I differ. He deserves a crack at the EPL if he achieves promotion notwithstanding the likely outcome that we spend much of the time in the relegation zone.
All I ask is we build a squad which is capable of an immediate return and commence the stadium ?️ expansion.
Imo you always should do what's right and that is to give him a chance assuming we get there.
02 Dec 2024 05:34:31
No he dosent Porgie. If we go up. If. Get rid of him as we will most likely come straight back down. All conjecture really as the first bit isn’t guaranteed and currently, likely either.
02 Dec 2024 06:04:32
We don’t know farke ain’t good enough for the prem he has never been given a chance in the prem
Again for comparison compare what farke spent to Belisa… this is not a Belisa is useless rant (although he was) this is saying most of you rate Belisa but look at his spend, most of you doubt farke at prem level… look at his spend
It’s an illogical arguement.

Daniel Farke has been relegated from the PL twice with Norwich but as Berm pointed out, with limited funding, not like some teams like Ipswich and Southampton who spent over 100Mil on new players and are still rooted to the bottom of the league table.
If we get back to the PL this season Farke will be funded well as we have ourselves within the PSR rules unlike cheating Leicester.
If promoted 100% he deserves the opportunity to prove himself and I for one believe he’s got a good chance of initially keeping his head above water and then building a sustainable future for our club in the Premiership.
As far as I know infrastructure building to stadiums are not accountable with the current PSR rules and I would expect building contractors entering Elland rd for redevelopment in the very near future.
On a side note I just don’t get all the negativity right now, we’re three points from top spot and it’s not even half way through the season, blowing away the league like cheating Leicester did this time last season is not the norm, it was because they broke the rules that they had a much stronger team than any other in the league. In my estimation there will be 3 to 4 teams fighting for those automatic promotion places come the end of this season as the Championship always proves to be unpredictable and a highly competitive league, every season.

Another topic that I see both sides of. I agree with Berm and George that he ain’t had a fair crack o the whip at the EPL. But my gut feel is that a fresh pair of eyes, with previous success in that division, would be a breath of fresh air for the club, the fans, the squad, and the city.
It’s also very pertinent that this squad would not keep us up, and would require massive investment in the spine of the team.

If Leeds were to go up . Ampadu, Tanaka good enough in EPL . anyone else?
02 Dec 2024 11:29:58
Baz Rodon, Struick, Wober, DJ and possibly Gnonto. However, all of those would be regarded as bottom 6 class in the EPL. We'd need to buy 8 EPL standard players to avert relegation imo.
02 Dec 2024 11:40:00
Rodon, Struick, DJ yes Geurgey. not sure about Wober nor Gnonto
.
02 Dec 2024 12:49:42
Rodon struck wober gnonto Mez. Roble. Roy. Mats. Pirie
James largie gman on bench.
Big big rebuilt.
More excuses for why he failed and failed again bermo.
Like Leeds are the only team that have to rebuild.
02 Dec 2024 14:17:25
I like Dan James but if promoted he has to prove himself worthy of the Premiership because as of yet he hasn’t with 3 clubs.
Let’s hope that changes.
02 Dec 2024 19:41:53
I like Pascal but let’s not forget how poor he was the last season and a half in the top flight. In fact he was atrocious. I must admit he’s been sublime these last eighteen months though.
Gnonto can play at that level as he showed before. Rodon capable. Tanaka looks a player. Amps capable. Ramazani has the potential. After these I’m struggling to name more?

Fair comment Cork.
