Better squad than Leeds? Are you fucking mental? Leeds had a far better team than anyone in the League, they just had a shit manager.

I honestly thought that Leeds would replace Farke this summer but it seems they are going to give hime another crack at the Premier. Personally I feel that it is a mistake.

Absolutely - they will sack him very early on this season.

Possibly, but it’s a tough one. Farke is obviously a risk at that level but it is probably more of a risk to rip it all up and try and start afresh just after promotion. I think the best chance any promoted team has is to keep a cohesive team together and try to add a bit of quality.

The problem being that the Premier League is so tough that no club can afford a poor start & hope to recover. If you wait 12 to 15 games to replace the manager the next manager has an almost impossible task.

Apparently Russ looking at getting Johnny Cardoso as a first signing, seems ideal for his setup.
