Well I will go to the foot of me stairs, and I live in a bungalow. Is this just the Daily Fail doing what they do or is there substance to the DF sack story. I hope its the former. Now IF that is what the 49ers are considering then that is their right as owners BUT there is a time and place, to let it come out 2 games before the end of a season with the title still to play for is a disgrace. It is totally disrespectful to DF, the players and the fans and cheapens everything. In my opinion of course!
23 Apr 2025 18:07:41
A cheap news rag as the Daily mail is, you can most certainly count on it being a speculative wind up.
Fake news.
23 Apr 2025 18:12:27
Hopefully the Dail Fail doing what it does best.
23 Apr 2025 18:23:22
I agree. If it's true, they should be ashamed.
23 Apr 2025 18:32:50
Agree re not great timing but this more likely Daily Fail guessing/ speculation.
As for Farkey he has made serious mistakes this season and last. It can be a cutthroat business replacing coaches.
Bournemouth owners made a great decision in sacking Gary ONeill replacing him very successfully with Ireola!
So can our owners attract a better coach than Farke?
. or are they gonner take the ( more likely) " safe" easy option and just continue with Farkey!
23 Apr 2025 20:12:58
I think Red Bull and 49ers are having talks with J Klopp or another big name to manage Leeds! They see $$$$$$$$$$$ and will unfortunately not hesitate to sack DF. They are just feeling the fans out right now but something BIG is going to happen before end of May.
23 Apr 2025 20:55:52
Agree Berm. If they (RB, 49ers) spend big next season, they need someone who will ensure their investment won't be blown with a return to the champo.
What Farke has done is incredible and worthy of respect. He will go down in the books as one of the greatest Leeds managers we've had.
Like I said in the rumours side, they're doing Farke a favour. He can name his price on getting teams promoted from the champo and maybe have a stab at the premier league with another club.
By the sounds of it, what comes next for Leeds isn't a fiddle about in the Prem, it's a complete overhaul of the team, club and stadium. It sounds like they want Leeds pushing for the champions league, not just focusing on staying up.
With that in mind, nothing short of a Klopp level manager will do.
23 Apr 2025 21:18:13
Does Klopp not already work for Red Bull?
{Ed025's Note - i thought he worked for Trivago.. :)
23 Apr 2025 21:55:30
This story has been all over the news. I really hope it’s not true, because if it is, then it would be an utter disgrace. I personally don’t see Farke being given long anyhow, which I also feel would be a disgrace; you can tell how heavy managing Leeds has played on him. He deserves a decent chance. In my opinion, there is room for sentiment in football. I hope our owners build a sustainable competitive team, but I don’t want them to try and create a Man City, where everything has been bought at any price.
Please no…don’t do it.

Interstinv posts and thoughts Hooksie and MOTagain.
Corky had a point when he said we all agree we need to upgrade players in EPL so why not upgrade the coach too.
23 Apr 2025 23:25:09
Daily Fail is the conduit of choice for the 9ers and has been since the takeover. If anyone is likely to get a 'scoop' like this it would be them.
23 Apr 2025 23:28:21
Yes Klopp is currently employed by Red Bull. Won't manage Leeds though - more likely Real Madrid.
24 Apr 2025 05:38:24
I find it quite incredible that some posters put one and one together and come up with zero.
Klopp is one hundred percent not coming to Leeds and we are not going to spend two hundred million on new players.
Where has all the common sense and logic gone?
Let me know when some of you blokes wake up from dreamland.
24 Apr 2025 07:21:36
Doesn't have to be Klopp himself, but someone with that pedigree.
We have £100 million to spend on players right now. We only need to sell ten players at an average of £10 million to raise another £100 million.
A stadium expansion, with more to come, and 49+red bull putting big money and effort into ER and Leeds, there's no reason to believe they will be happy bouncing between the leagues. They want Leeds to be a top club, and they mean it.
To think otherwise is la la land.
24 Apr 2025 09:13:11
It’s the boards responsibility to make sure that they have the most suitable leadership for the job ahead! Simple as that! It may be Farke, but their job to decide that and take action if it’s not. Lots of the people saying it’s a disgrace to change him now will probably want rid of him if we lose 10 games on the trot in the prem. It’s the boards job to try and make sure we’re not in that situation! I think it’s healthy, if he stays it’s should be because the boards wants him and backs him!
24 Apr 2025 09:43:52
I can’t even believe this conversation is even being discussed by Leeds fans, we’ve still got two games to go to try and win the Championship and here we are talking about booting out Daniel Farke. What must be going through his head that some of the club fans want him out.
Why not sack him right now, what difference does it make, unbelievably disrespectful, I won’t be giving any so called Leeds fan the time of day if he wants to discuss this subject with me personally.
You’ve got turd burgers like Gaby Abongalhor on Talk Sport a well known Leeds hater who loves to stoke up a fire with our club initiating this pile of crap and Leeds fans agreeing with him, really?!
24 Apr 2025 10:59:43
To be fair op every part of Leeds from management to infrastructure will be under the micro scope at the moment.
49ers will going over everything and saying is this part good enough. Do we need to improve or spend money on this part. So players and managers. coaches facilities everything.
So the rumours will abound till next season. 49ers will want to get the prem done in a one no mistakes.
If the feel that df is not best fit then they will make the call.
No sentiment.
{Ed025's Note - you are probably right Ben, but i cant help thinking that DF deserves a shot mate, even if its only temporary..
24 Apr 2025 12:37:42
Some good points well made except from OP.
24 Apr 2025 20:06:01
All points on this and other subjects made by you Baz are never taken seriously by me.
How could they be? ?.
24 Apr 2025 20:34:06
Time will tell soon enough OP.
