Paraag on player spending this window: Whatever they will let us spend, we’ll spend. I can comfortably say that we are going to spend the very last penny that we can.

Apparently (I haven’t heard it personally) , Paraag has ended speculation re Farke…”he is my man…”
BBC radio Leeds.

No doubts in my mind, ridiculous suggestion in the first place and something for the anti Leeds WUM’s.
04 May 2025 17:16:18
Thanks ani good to know.
04 May 2025 17:18:19
Great news on both fronts!

In the Athletic as well so it seems our alternatives weren't available for one reason or another. Could be worse and certainly no point changing for the sake of change.

Spot on Cuppa self evidently.

If that’s what paraag has came out and said, well that’s good. Daniel Farke has done a great job and deserves his chance in the premiership. And I’m sure the players will certainly want him as their manager in the premiership too. There’s been a great team spirit throughout the season, and the players clearly have a lot of respect for the man. While we will speculate on the players who we want to bring in for next season, when it was asked what positions posters wanted strengthened next season, most posters, including me picked a goalkeeper as top priority. I still think we definitely need a proven goalkeeper, but given Darlow’s performances, under huge pressure, for the last half a dozen games, does he also deserve a chance in the premiership? I know it’s a huge step up in opposition, but Rodon and ampadu will likely be happy to have him in goal. They’re a tight bunch the Welsh lads.

We have been excellent in signing quality players that have been well under budget. We have balanced the books and have a great recruitment team. With Kinnear gone, I feel we will unlock the next level of signings.
We don't need to play the game of "flavour of the year player sold for £50 million to the highest bidder", that doesn't work. Look at chelsea and Man u.
We have Red Bull to lean on, who will assist with names in Europe. I believe we can build a £500 million squad for £150 million. (Look at Tanaka! )

That's our aim certainly with the data based recruitment model. As with Rothwell some names may be underwhelming at first but they should fit our system and tam perfectly and will surprise a few people when they get to play.

Totally agree Alf on that. Trust the people, and the system!
And C&J, I'm sad to say no on Darlow. Likeable fella, but #3 at best for a PL squad. Salary would be the decisive factor for me there.

When can you let the cat out of the bag Alf? Think you said Wednesday?
It’s ok you can tell us all now, nobody is going to believe its real, when it came from our banter site.
Please be Manor!

I’d like to know what alternatives were not available? If they were even considered at all!

Class . zalf said a young un defensive midfielder
2 new gk (With Darlow as 3rd choice) CD, 2 LB, CAM, 2 CFs all vitally needed.
