I wonder if contract renewal length is an issue in any contract renewal discussions between DF and SF49ers

I have a feeling 49ers understandably might not want to commit to a long contract extension of say even 3 years and defo not 4 years

My guess is they might want to agree to just a 2 year extension.

I was thinking similar Baz. I reckon he's been offered a two year deal.

Yes Corkey, it will be interesting to see how this pans out.

Imo its not a given, say around 75/25 chance that Farke is still Leeds manager at start of next seez.

It might be, but it also might be about money?

Or it might be both OP!

Contract length AND salary

In which case, Farke better start winning some matches then; so far just 2 EPL wins in 6 ; arguably a must win vs out of form Man U who are there for the taking!

Agree Baz. Arguably min 2-4 point below where we should be. Let's hope he can nick a few unexpected ones.

Indeed Aus, could be better

Wheras Leeds showed up at home vs Newcastle, they had very underpar matches at home particularly vs Palace and also vs an albeit very good Brentford side.

We simply must do much better this Sunday at home to Man U.

Only one good home performance this season so another one is a must on Sunday, especially with two tricky away games coming up.

Baz I believe that's a great deal two years not sure on the money it he has received more, The large millions pay off as seen in many club over recent times is mind blowing we can't afford to waste money that could be spent on players. So I would say it's about his wages not sitting well with him.

Indeed 2 hard away games coming up Feath.

Leeds United have won I believe just a paltry 3 EPL away games in 22 under Farke which really needs to improve asap!

It was our home form which kept us up last seez.let's beat Man U. best time to play em right now!

One would expect he gets offered a pay increase Whitey.

Just have a feeling it will be only a 2 year offer.

Big month or so ahead to see what transpires.

OK Baz, only 2 wins in 6, but then only 5 teams have won more. Only 1 loss in 6, but only 3 are undefeated, and 4 others have only lost 1. Goals against 5, joint lowest in PL with 4 other teams. Looked at in the round our record ain't too bad at all.

My uneducated guess at DFs new contract is an extra 3 years taking it from 2027 to 2030, plus a modest pay rise along with possible bonuses for targeted league position, or Euro qualification.

Correct stats JR ; it's a decent to good start but as Feath noted we have 2 tough back to back away games coming up and our EPL away win record is bad under Farke ( 3 in 22) .

Isn't it funny that we're 7th, but we think of Sunderland (17th) and Bournemouth (18th) as tough away fixtures. All fixtures are tough, but I'd hope to get something out of those two, hopefully at least 2 points.

But only 1 PL loss away from home this season at arsenal.
