I see the Daily Fail are at it again with their 49ers considering sacking DF mantra. What is it with that rag? Fleet streets finest they are certainly not, honestly.

Think the 49ers are waiting for us to stay up before spending big, and that means players and a manager to keep us up and competing for Europe.

Keep Farke for another season, because I think there will be serious squad churn this year. We have lots of stragglers to sell, contracts ending, and our starting 11 will be eaten by the big clubs. We could probably raise £200 million from player sales.

You guys know I'm a Farke-out guy, and I've said before he knows how to build a squad. Maybe, with depth on the bench, he would be more tactical in games. Either way, DF is safe and our second season looks promising.

The Dail Fail should be in the comic section.

Vidlufc, this was reported via Leeds United news site Oldbri, see it as well. Not sure why you are surprised; they are looking for a young, charismatic manager. Not sure who they have in mind, so I can't blame the daily trial.

I think Daniel Farke has shown "enough" this season that, should the club decide to "move on" [I hope they don't], he would get another gig with another EPL team. He has thus far outperformed a few of the "merry-go-round" brigade. Odds are he will definitely get through the season. No one would have predicted that at the start. I hope Leeds consider wisely in the summer and don't soon have regrets. I am not sure, without spending bucket loads of money, there is anyone who would guarantee anything better.

I read yesterday that if matches lasted 85 minutes we would be seventh this season. That indicates to me that squad depth [better bench and subs] would help with that problem. I'm sure it's not as black and white as that, but you can see the potential. No one galvanises a squad like Daniel Farke, and extracts the max out of his talent.

Daily Mail are the 9ers' mouthpiece of choice, so shouldn't be completely disregarded. As communicated to shareholders in Sept last year: This season the aim is to finish 17th. Next season we will spend £126m before player sales, with the aim of staying up again, finishing 15th. The season after, the spend is projected to be £89m, with another 15th place finish anticipated.

By then, we are probably expecting to generate increased revenue from player sales, so the actual spend will be higher than the gross figures above if that works out. But, of course, we will need to replace players sold as well with that revenue. The stadium expansion is also expected to net additional revenue (£25m per year) to spend on transfers / wages.
