I think your concerns are unfounded. Football is football. If he has higher quality players, then he is well equipped to deal with the premier league and has proven that with the performance of the team over 2 seasons. Without the bad eggs at the start of 23/24, we would clearly have won auto promotion. He has handled the team, the staff, the fans and the pressure with admirable aplomb.
He has absolutely earned the right for a fair crack at keeping us up next season. Our expectation baseline is 4th from bottom. If he achieves that, then he has been a success. I reckon we need 35 - 40 points. There is no Bielsa MKII and will never be. Bielsa is a legend and a Leeds Legend now, up there with Don and Wilko - slightly above Grayson. Farke is carving out his own legacy in that company. When he does eventually leave, he will go with our best wishes because of what he has achieved for us so far - irrespective of what is to come. I'd really like to see Potch manage us at some point. ________________________________ From: Leedslist <[email protected]> on behalf of seanscribe--- via Leedslist <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, 13 May 2025 8:30 PM To: leeds list <[email protected]>; [email protected] <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [LU] Farke Dave, I've come around to your view over the course of the season. Farke's strengths in man management and staying cool under pressure turned out to be invaluable this season. He also slowly won me over by adapting (almost without anyone noticing) his tactics slightly, so that in the second half of this season we spent a lot less time passing it between Rodon-Ampadu-Struijk-Meslier/Darlow while the opposition got set, which was doing my head in earlier in the season. (We still did a few of the trademark Farke set piece routine of us getting a corner and five seconds later we're passing it back to our keeper, however.) Nonetheless, I have deep concerns about whether Farke has the tactical acumen to survive in the Premier League. He seems like a genuinely good guy, so I hope he proves my fears unfounded. Cheers!

To me it shows what a good job he has actually done, especially when the start of this promotion season was as difficult as his first season "but I have been told we have 52 days to get the ownership sorted, a new director of football / player recruitment, a manager and his coaches , then ship out anyone who wants to go / need off the wage bill / want rid of, get in new players and gel them into a team who will challenge at the top of the division,. We need a miracle worker, or Bielsa mark II if such a man is possible " Now I don't think DF is a miracle worker or indeed Bielsa Mark 2, but I do think he has earned his crack at the Prem after amassing 190 points in 2 seasons Dave _______________________________________________ Leedslist mailing list Info and options: https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fmailman.gn.apc.org%2Fmailman%2Flistinfo%2Fleedslist&data=05%7C02%7C%7C7576e08c8d8b40b08fe708dd921a0a67%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C638827362789351646%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=dqbh%2BJW%2BTnFE4OOrpFz5WGzln6f44qFt6%2Fg97uDyqfw%3D&reserved=0<https://mailman.gn.apc.org/mailman/listinfo/leedslist> To unsubscribe, email [email protected] Find us on Facebook https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fgroups%2Fleedslist%2F&data=05%7C02%7C%7C7576e08c8d8b40b08fe708dd921a0a67%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C638827362789370744%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=sQo%2FSoWFd%2Ffn8VMph1Jd9atNScC%2FevJ4NG6kQGrYqDY%3D&reserved=0<https://www.facebook.com/groups/leedslist/> The Rev, John Lee.
