Having played for Leeds last season and Norwich City twice, he has really been on these streets three times.
Regretfully, he was at Elland Road the only time he was unable to secure promotion.
Failure at Wembley in May of last year was a double-edged sword that left them without Premier League football and with less time to get ready for the new season.
Speaking on Friday at Thorp Arch, Farke acknowledged that it is never easy to make long-term plans when you don’t know what division his team will play in the following season.
The Whites manager said, “It’s a little complicated because the financial resources differ a bit [between the leagues].”
For instance, you may have to wait a little while if you decide to extend the contract of a highly paid player who is often too costly for the Championship.
Or you have to wait till the Premier League’s funding is essentially certain if you can afford to be there with a Premier League signing.
Because you want to plan sustainably, you need to be a little more attentive.
Nothing you do will jeopardize the club’s long-term viability. I won’t do this as long as I’m in command. It’s difficult to balance.
Farke does not want to overreact, particularly in light of last year’s events, but it would also be a mistake to ignore possible Premier League blueprints.
