Daniel Farke has suddenly seen his future go into uncertainty after the 49ers made their stance clear.
The 49ers are considering sacking Farke in what would be a shock to an incredible season for Leeds.
With Leeds sitting on 94 points in the Championship and now promoted, the last thing you’d expect is a managerial departure.
This has brought mixed opinions from the ownership, who will no doubt take a risk with the decision.
But now it’s been revealed how the actual squad feel about these talks regarding Farke.
How the Leeds United players feel about Daniel Farke amid sack claims
With the German clearly seeing his position under threat, it will be intriguing to see what the squad thinks about it.
Many a time Farke’s mentality has been praised, as Jayden Bogle thinks Farke’s character is ‘massive’ to Leeds.
The players seem to take a liking to their manager and it’s no doubt a healthy environment around Thorp Arch.
But with the 49ers considering the possibility of letting him go, Graeme Bailey has exclusively revealed to LeedsUnited.News how the dressing room view their boss.
“I think there’s a good section of the senior players who appreciate Farke for the way he’s managed the squad this season,” Bailey said.
“I think a lot of what he’s done in the last month will be massively in his favour, and I think the senior players will back him.”
49ers talks already raises doubt over Farke’s Leeds future
With the owners already taking action with potential talks over Farke staying or leaving, this doesn’t bode well for the German.
It seems like the Leeds hierarchy will be very critical of what the Whites boss does next season, as the 49ers disagreed with Farke starting Illan Meslier, proving he’ll be under the spotlight.
Even if they decide to retain Farke going into the Premier League, a couple of poor results could see the Leeds manager on the chopping block.
Going off his only full campaign with Norwich City in the top flight, it’s not a good look, and it might end up favouring the side of an exit for the German.
Daniel Farke’s only full season in the Premier League (Norwich City 19/20)
Position 20th
Goals conceded per match 2.0 (20th)
Shots on target per match 3.4 (16th)
Touches in opposition box 715 (18th)
Goals scored 26 (20th)
It’s looking like Farke might have a troubled time with the owners, as these numbers don’t reflect well.
Jose Mourinho is mooted for Leeds, which puts Farke out of the water if the Portuguese agrees to an Elland Road move.
With all the factors considered, it seems like a 50/50 call but surely the players have some say in what is a major decision.
