Really hope that all this hot air and feverish talk about sacking Farke now he’s got us promoted doesn’t derail and make the players and coach less focused on winning the Championship.
To some maybe they don’t care and winning promotion was enough, not for me, it’s as important, gaining promotion without winning this league will take away the glory and not to mention the momentum of the club for when we arrive in the Premiership.
I can only imagine Burnley fans and their club are rubbing their hands together thinking this big story might upset our last two games and hand Burnley the title.
For those out there wishing for Farke to be sacked, be very careful for what you wish for.

I’m not sure I am allowed to post a link, but Paraag has posted a video saying Farke is our manager for the EPL. He talks of not having a proper set of cards in the past to compete; “we are going to rectify that for him”.
25 Apr 2025 07:56:08
100% opti can't believe we're talking about sacking a manager who's just got us promoted never mind before the season is even finished.
{Ed025's Note - it beggars belief FW..

Absolutely OP. got to feel for DF and the boys, how do you prepare for 2 games and try to win a title under this spotlight? It could only happen to Leeds!
25 Apr 2025 08:27:18
That's good news Ani. I'd also read a while ago that Paraag likes DF a lot, and 100% wanted him for the PL. These reports just made me doubt that a little.
25 Apr 2025 09:31:20
when was the video from? timing is everything.
25 Apr 2025 09:41:12
Well the board could put a stop to this immediately with a simple statement, that’s if they wished to?
The continued silence just feeds speculation and does not help the coach or team prepare for the final two games.
And if reports are true in relation to the video of saying Farke will be properly backed this time around, how can it hurt to reiterate that message?
Unless……. either way, supporters are continually treated like mushrooms with regards communication coming out of the club, and I think we have gone backwards in this area under Kinnears tenure, hopefully things will improve under new leadership.
25 Apr 2025 10:35:22
As Alf said timing is everything when was said video done?
Because the video that had Marathe backing Farkey for an EPL campaign was pre season 2023.2 seasons ago! . peoples opinions of others do CHANGE!
25 Apr 2025 10:44:46
Mr Maratje and Co are imo going to need to. make quite quick decisions / actions now though on whether they replace Farkey or not!
They also need to act fairly quickly in finding a
1) replacement permanent CEO ( with Kinnear leaving in May )
2) . a Director of Football ( we don't have one ) .
3 LUFC recruitment team has recently been decimated having firstly lost Steinson to. DF49ers other operations
and now Nicky Hammond has also gone to Everton.
so ( two) new recruitment team members needed
Hmmm.

It’s true Class that fans are always the last to know and that is a constant frustration for us, but most owners have the mentality that the less said in these rumour situations the less that comes back to them.
To be fair to them, if they had to respond to every unscrupulous story put out there for the odd journalist who wants to make a scoop, they would be quite busy, especially if you are a owner of Leeds United.

It's on the Athletic before the Stoke game by the looks of it. That's when the interview took place. The video was posted last night.
25 Apr 2025 14:35:15
very interesting if that's the case Ani.

Winning a Champo. great. another trophy in the cabinet and records
Its better to win it for feelgood momentum too. but thars it
next season in EPL is all about how good our coach is . And how good our recruitment is .

Something you wouldn’t have a clue about Baz.
25 Apr 2025 23:16:07
Oh dear OP your increasingly charateristic flippancy and bitterness.
26 Apr 2025 07:59:26
Totally unflippant and not a drop of bitterness in me Baz, in fact all’s good as far as I see it with our football club.
It’s a shame you feel it necessary to voice your opinion about sacking Farke so vociferously when he’s still got two more games to play to try to win the Championship winners trophy.
It’s all a bit about you and your anti Farke agenda isn’t it.
Now there’s bitterness for you.
