Ok, the grenade has been thrown and Karl and possibly Lucas are off. But can we at least wait and check whether the pin was still in the grenade, by at least first assessing the replacement goalkeepers?

Clearly, our manager does not have complete confidence in either keeper or the money and promises of being #1 would have been made.



Who knows, it might just turn out to be fantastic decision, but the body is usually dead before a full post mortem commences.

I don't have any confidence in the manager.

Of course you're entitled to your opinion, Dave, but he is our manager, and football decisions are his until someone else takes over. I'm going to enjoy the ride whilst it lasts in the ridiculously corrupt EPL, where everyone outside of the top six or so teams tries to survive/compete with a third of the resources.

I think most of us have questioned Farke at times during his tenure - we live in a throw away world, if something doesn't go our way, then get rid of it immediately!

However, he has done a first rate job for us.

He got us out of the Championship (which is notoriously difficult) and kept us in the top flight (also notoriously difficult for promoted teams) .

He's had the balls to change a system when it wasn't working into a new system that worked very well.

He's taken a number of players who many thought were questionable, and turned them into the type of player we all knew they could be (DCL being the perfect example) , and, finally, he gets what it is to be Leeds United.

Sorry, Dave, but as Class has said, you are entitled to your opinion, but please try and have some confidence in DF - slowly but surely, he's proving himself to be a worthy manager of our club.

46% of newly promoted clubs to the EPL actually stay up the first season. Not as difficult as people believe.

Please don't spoil the narrative with facts, Corkey!

So he wasn't worthy at first, Cleggy? Why?
And who says he learnt and changed system when it's pretty clear it wasn't him.

I'm on a holiday in Playa Blanca and I'm still talking to you bunch of reprobates. No matter where I am Leeds United is always on my mind. Sad but true.

It's actually 53% of clubs that stay up. 46% was before last season!

It all depends how you look into stats, because there is the stat that says 65% of newly promoted teams go down in their first three seasons in the Premiership.
Which would suggest it's hard to stay in the Premiership in the first few seasons.
