Look at the length of tenure on the EFL and PL Oz, scary how quickly people can get the heave ho. Seems to get harder every season - I guess there is so much money riding on it these days in a way there wasn?t in times gone by.
Rooney is free, he is worse at being a tv pundit that managing so he needs to do something soon. I am only joking though now I?ve said it it will probably happen lol
We also seem to be linked with players at over inflated prices - 30m for KP being a good example. 20m for Archer.
I?ve been guilty of not being fully convinced.
Not sure why he is so hard to feel genuine warmth for but his record this season is pretty astonishing. 22 clean sheets, possibly 100 points, possibly 100 goals.
On his record he deserves a chance. Stuart Dallas interviewed him last night and managed to get a response from behind the mask a little and maybe there is a hidden side to him that only the players get to see.
Would be a very surprised if he doesn?t get a go in the PL and far rather him than some of the names being bandied about in the press.
Now if only ??
I don?t always like the type of football he engineers but the last few games have shown just how good this team is. Bristol City are no mugs but they were never in the match last night.
DF was never given a chance in the PL with Norwich and for me he has earned this with us. Yes, this squad should have done well and it did. The job of getting rid last year of unwanted players, getting new players in and making a fist of that first season was commendable. This season he succeeded and took us back to the PL. He?s done everything asked of him.
Next season there will be an influx of new players and players to leave. DF knows the core of the next team, knows how Leeds works and we all need to see if he can cut it in the PL with proper backing. The 49ers hopefully step up and he fulfills an ambition of being successful in the PL.
Having rebuilt a squad fit for purpose, getting promotion, he deserves our backing. Nice he got his song last night too.
Never got the backing at Norwich as they just couldn’t afford it, Leeds can, the last few games when the pressure has been really on Leeds have been brilliant, farke has never flinched all season, been calm, humble and respectful, he not only deserves to be premier league manager but is the right man for us, mourhnio…..dear god, no thanks, borefest with him, the players are all behind farke, and the fans are now, one and a half seasons in the premiership with Norwich is no way to judge him.
Can't knock Farke for the job he has done , absolutely brilliant.
The slight stain , and it is a tiny stain , was his persistence with Meslier which was stupidity in my opinion , put Darlow in that net after the Sunderland game and we would already be champions and on about 112 pts by now.
Suppose he wanted to show loyalty but for me at times you just have to be ruthless.
Interesting summer transfer window coming up as well , both ins and outs.
We are very good right now. Definitely a prem level of play. we would have destroyed any of the 3 teams that went up last year the way we are playing. The Darlow move allowed our defense to just play defense rather than trying to totally prevent any kind of offensive push by the other team.
I can't agree more on Hop's comments on getting high paid cast offs and rejects. We have some very good prem level players including Tanaka, Solomon, Ampadu, Bogle, James, Gnonto, Strujik, Gruev. I hope we sign Firpo but think he want's spain. Hope we sign Rothwell as well. Darlow, Piroe, Byram are excellent backups. Young Gray, Joseph and Chambers could develop. Signing high priced projects and elders sends the wrong message.
Torn on Farke. He is steady as can be and the team plays easy on the eyes football. Just wish he subbed and developed the youth a little quicker.
I know the owners have invested 100's of millions of dollars but really wonder if this should not be a call by the staff and players. Fantasy land thinking on my part but stranger things have happened.
