Fair enough, I am only half the miserable chunt now that i was on Tuesday night.
Of course I would have taken where we are now in May, but knowing that it could be even better, and having been in a position of automatic promotion at least 3 times, we have managed to fk it up, and I find that hard to take.
No threat from corners or free kicks. Tippy tappy triangles back to the keeper. No seemingly sense of urgency or desire considering that other results have left things on a plate for us. Let's just wait and walk the ball in. And don't start me on subs. With all of that, the buck stops at 1 man.
I'll still celebrate and say what a great manager he is though whenever beat Southampton for promotion with the last kick of the game. 😄😄
Just saying - Farkes done a great job considering Leeds do owe £190 million in transfer instalments on player purchases, £73.6 million of which is due before year end June 2024. This perhaps highlights the difficult circumstances under which Leeds operated during the summer !
Leeds United's 2022/23 accounts were released on Wednesday evening in which the Whites reported a £33.7 million loss after player sales.

Yep easy to forget - also not sure who else who that may have been available would have been better.
87 points after 42 games is impressive in any league and the win percentage is about 62% of games played in the league which is incredible.
What ever the gripes and grumbles (and I have set out some of mine) by any traditional performance metric Farke has been v good.
It’s now down to a mini league - don’t think it is about desire (they all want success) as much as who can hold their nerve.
The side that ripped Ipswich a new arsehole 4-0 at Elland Road , that is the side I want to see for the last 4 games.
That is all.
I'm hearing you pal. The possession around and around does my head in too! Especially when we desperately need to score. Was more talking about the desire and effort of the players with so much on the line. The buzz around them from a few weeks ago seems to have disappeared to a huge degree. 🤔
