The pressure that is now delivered before Daniel Farke is now undeniably huge and it very much looks like our game against Villa at home is a must not lose to keep for the time being his position in tact as our coach.
The more emotional fans are already calling for him to be sacked, but you have to consider Farke has been in this position before at Norwich, so for him maybe he is not crumbling under the immense pressure and might be able to adapt and figure a way to survive another day.
Let’s face it, any other new manager will only be living to survive another day with us anyhow, it’s just a question of do they have the nerve to dig our team out of the relegation hole come the end of this season.
The job of a Leeds manager in our position would not be a enviable one due to the perhaps unreasonable pressure and expectation we as fans place on them. It’s probably ten fold or more to the pressure Scott Parker will feel at Burnley.

Take the money. Do the job.
I’ve read he was given 5 games to turn things around starting with forest. To me that's ridiculous. Although I’d expect to nick a few points here and there. Realistically we could lose them all.
As corkey said it’s the nature of recent 2.5 games performances that is disturbing. How’s that going to change against better teams. Imo we should have taken at least 5 more points already.
I really don’t get giving him more time. Just makes the new managers job harder. As I said last week. It’s going to happen 100%. Just do it.
It’s almost the 49ers want to be seen giving managers as much time as possible. It’s not a public appreciation society. It’s business. Dollars involved.
Whether a new manager keeps us up is besides the point. This one won’t.

We've had three must win (not must lose) why they're persisting with farke I have no idea. The writing is on the wall, he will not change.
Our owners are clueless.

Not sure it’s necessarily the more emotional supporters wanting Farke to go OP. It also may be misinterpreted as acting without clarity or good judgment, although I would challenge that description.
Sentiment is an emotion and predominantly it was sentiment that afforded Daniel another crack at the epl, if we are all in agreement of the cataclysmic difference in quality and standards between the two divisions.
It’s not emotional when supporters highlight specific flaws, refusal to adapt and change. Indeed, Bielsa had similar flaws, but secured us ninth position in a technically very similar team, he just had a ferocious mindset where players refused to stop for 100minutes every game.
But it’s a matter of fact, that to date anyway, Daniel has the worst record in epl management, and nothing we have witnessed against teams with our best chance of picking up points, recently supports keeping him in place in my opinion.
If as you describe the side is significantly short of quality and balance, leaving the status quo as is is more aligned to a form of insanity, which admittedly is certainly at the extreme end of the emotional scale.
I admit the board may be dammed if they do and dammed if they don’t make a change, but currently we are rabbits stuck in the headlights and I would prefer to take the Wet Sham, Florists approach who have both seen a bounce now new coaches have settled in.
12 Nov 2025 09:23:04
I imagine they have to equate whether there can be any improvement over the the next few games to see if there is any forward momentum or are we in decline, compared to a possible short new manager bounce then a possible rapid decline.
It’s tough a decision and it’s theirs and their investors millions not ours so I think they will think very carefully as to which decision they will make.
Radrizziani’s wrong decisions must of cost him millions and also left the club in a much weakened position after selling it. It’s in no owners interest to make the wrong decisions.
12 Nov 2025 11:26:14
Yet Many described Radz as our saviour at the time, a man who loved our club even
Where as now, it's bad Radz, it's all rooted in his failures same people are now saying
Seem to recall a younger better looking Ken Bates being said by someone ? at the time met with plenty derision.
12 Nov 2025 11:46:38
Radz wrong decisions didn't cost him a penny. He made a profit when he sold our club. They are still costing the club and the fans, however.
12 Nov 2025 13:35:11
Two years of the same tactics
I'm sure he will change this time.
12 Nov 2025 14:14:33
The owners are costing our club. Plain and simple.
No other explanation. They can sack the manager if they like. But it’s all their fault.
And yes. Please sack him.
But don’t for a minute think it’s all on him. It’s on you as well.
Typical yank hooo rah. Talk talk but wheelchair boumd.

I understand that these days managers / coach’s can be sacked before the ink is dry on their contracts and we as fans are all emotionally invested by the events of our club’s fortunes and some more than others.
That doesn’t mean they are wrong for wanting their manager sacked even if they haven’t had a reasonable amount of time to get the tactics correct and so on and so forth.
For me personally i would still give Farke the time to try and get some more positive results.
But the way things are today you can win a title or a domestic trophy etc and then a few months later get the sack because league results maybe faltering due to many circumstances like new players adapting and players that have left the club, plus many other reasons.
I hear sentiment has no part in the game when sacking a manager, well it’s obvious that patience doesn’t either.
Managers have now become an item on a conveyor belt which in my belief is not healthy for football.
The three teams in the relegation zone have all changed their managers after only ten games.
Who knows whether it will work for them all, maybe as they are all equipped with pretty decent players unlike us and Burnley who I believe are different due to the lower quality in the ranks.
For the like of us promoted teams it’s more likely to go downhill in my opinion, it could be a case of sticking with the devil you know?

Alf he probably just recouped the money that he would have most certainly lost from the period in the Championship.
I don’t think he ever really knew what he was letting himself in for when he bought our club.
I think in football terms he could be considered naive.
Having said that i would still shake his hand and say thank you for taking us out of that endless dark dungeon we spent many years in.

From what's been knocking about opti, you will have your wish.
Farke has the next four games to make an improvement and I'll be honest, he won't and he won't be sacked. The 49ers will give him "just one more game" until the end of the January window then sack him.
13 Nov 2025 10:03:59
My wish is that we pick up more points over the forthcoming fixtures that will hopefully keep our heads above the drop zone. Hopefully that will continue to the end of the season, even if survival means one goal difference in 17th position.
I’m also not interested anymore in playing great football or that other teams have more possession and are all over us apparently like West Ham were at Elland rd.!
Staying up even if that means being Dirty Leeds again, I honestly don’t care, I also don’t care if it’s Daniel Farke or Russell Martin or Steven Gerrard who is our coach.
My wish is only for Leeds Utd to survive in its first season back in the Premiership to see another season.

Which they most likely won’t opti. Brace yourself.
