Listened to Kagey earlier in the week about how the footballing world feels about Dan Farke and what really surprised me was the actual lack of enquiries about him. Over the last 2 seasons when Leeds have been flying there have been no links, not any single link to another club wanting him, not one. Not even one rumour or clickbait site. Last season alone we all saw stories linking Kieron Maguire to plenty of clubs even Man Utd. Michael Carrick linked elsewhere or how about Russel Martin. Every job that comes up you never ever see DF on the bookies list yet see all sorts of names out of left field. Wednesday of this week for the first time DF was second favourite for the Norwich job. Amazing. So wonder why he seems to be toxic, not even clubs in Germany speak of him. Even Michael Skibula is mentioned for nearly every EFL job (Maybe we should have stuck with him instead of Gracia etc) even Gary O’Neil is mentioned for every job that comes up even in the Prem. Steve Gerrard mentioned daily…. Just saying!
Lots of stuff coming out this last few days and most of it not good news. I have already posted a quick report on the Investors meeting where there were only 3 items on the agenda: 1) Danelle Farke, 2) January Transfer window, 3) Stadium redevelopment. So lots of not happy campers attending that. Since this happened 3 weeks ago there has been a glut or a slew of football finance experts who have gone into print or spoke on podcasts about how Robbie Evan’s and club are talking shyt about maxing out their PSR. These so called experts to a man all say Leeds didn’t have the PSR bandwidth of Sunderland but could have easily extended to £135m spend. Then another report has slipped out which was supposed to be confidential for the 49ers premium investors, you know the guys who have stumped up tens of millions. Marathe is quoted as saying the plan for the next 3 years is for the club to stick with Farke and for the team to finish 16th this season, next season 15th and to aim for 12th the season after. This plan is a survival strategy but a just surviving plan and hardly the utopia fans were promised about European football. Ger from the Leeds View has also mentioned this same thing earlier this week. This would mean the club sticking with Farke, gambling on survival, spending hardly any money for three years and I can only guess that the club will then be auctioned off and the 49ers Enterprise Investors cashing in their chips. The 49ers are actually worse than Raddrizani as at least he had the club and fans at heart but didn’t have the cash. The 49ers want a big payout end of, and are willing to gamble with the poor quality of squad and coach with a view of JUST SURVIVING.
Many will know Moscow White, real name Dan Chapman he published a great piece on this:

Who knows what to believe as we are told Farke’s job is safe, some say 4 games to prove himself, some say owners speaking to replacement and now Moscow Whites piece?
