    you need to learn the English language, definitely not a diatribe ... maybe it doesn't fit your agenda, but don't try and paint me as hating Farke because that's a fkn lie

    If you don't like the word "diatribe" how about we just call your post a "diet of tripe"<doh>

    It's way too early to be making judgements on Farke good or bad. It would be regardless of the current crazy circumstances. His history like most managers has successes and failures. It's largely irrelevant debating the past. He's here, we need to give him time.

    Is Billy on retainer or is it a pay per click deal?

    FARKE is an ugly fook and sounds like a spaced out hippy, but so far he seems to be doing a top job. Not his fault the rats are leaving that’s the fault of Marathe as he should have known. Its not his fault that we have signed no players again that’s the fault of Marathe

    Now I've not watched the video, so can't comment about the content.

    But for the amount that have viewed the video, that is not many comments.

    However it may be the norm for the views/comments ratio for a football YT video, but it just seems low

    Edit - aha it was his pre match press conference before Birmingham, and I fully concur with the positive comments posted

    I think he'll be a really good manager for us but at the moment he can only play the hand he has been dealt. I already like the fitness levels he's achieved and how he sets the team up is the most coherent I think I've seen us in a long time.

    Hopefully the board manage to recruit enough of the right players because at the moment we'll be lucky to survive in this league.

    Maybe the club have finally taken notice of my complaints about lack of tickets for long term fans that have had to give up season tickets for a variety of reasons, and they are attempting to get us to the National League North, so I will be able to attend at least one game a season, even if it is an away match :)

    You make my point so beautifully ... I haven't launched a bitter attack on Farke, I haven't said he's rubbish and needs sacking, I've flung absolutely no filth in his direction

    All I've done is explain my concerns at how he's handling the job at Leeds, and if you look beyond the fan-pleasing "train on your own" narrative, there's a huge problem ... players suddenly wanting away has got to have something to do with Farke and his methods

    We all need to be aware, eyes wide open ... back the manager for sure, but then also back the players with the same vigour whilst staying vigilant and try to understand the situation in its entirety, not just flinging mud at players or the previous regime

    Now, what exactly is your point?

    It's not that I don't like the word diatribe, it's that I understand how to use it ... now, which part of my post is tripe, and please enlighten us as to what your thoughts are

    You can't spend your life on social media constantly whining about the club and players without actually offering solutions ... all that says about you is that you have no spine, and you're ignorant ... I'll go so far as to say you don't actually "see" a game of footbal, but 22 players running around a field chasing a ball ... all you then fixate on is "effort" and "mistakes" and "quality"

    Now please rip into my post and dissect it so I can understand why my concerns should be unfounded and Farke is a genius who's pulling the club together ... my point is Farke needs to stop the divisiveness, it's causing issues and he won't last if he continues this was, and that's the LAST thing we need right now ... we need a strong Farke uniting us all and building a winning team, that's all I want

    What chance did Bielsa have when he signed up and inherited a bang average Championship squad? This squad has more quality than the one Bielsa started with, yet look how that turned out ... Bielsa didn't complain about lack of quality, demand signings or moan about the awful setup at Thorp Arch thanks to Cellino's mismanagement ... he quietly got on with the job, and we were all shocked when his team dismantled Stoke on the opening day

    This is all I ask of Farke ... shut up, get on with working with the players in front of you and end all this negativity

    When you can't or won't answer the question, resort to insults.
    Childish.

    I answered the question in my post ... go read what I said about Tic-Tacs, and leadership ... it's all there bud

    Thing is, you and I are Leeds fans forever, long after Farke and the players have gone ... we'll always be Leeds brothers, bound by our love for the club ... we both clearly want Farke to succeed at Leeds, we need him to succeed, and it has to be promotion or it becomes extremely difficult ... I'm just concerned that Farke isn't focused on success but rather looking for excuses as to why he may not succeed this season

    I'm behind him, I believe he can do a great job, but it's time for him to stop the bickering and promote unity
