Leeds United could sack Daniel Farke before Christmas at Elland Road

David Norris

MOT Leeds News is delighted to welcome David Norris as an expert pundit. Norris joined Leeds in the summer of 2012 after a stellar season at Portsmouth. After playing 30 times and scoring three goals in the Championship in 2012/13, injuries got the better of the former midfielder before he left in 2015. Norris also played for Plymouth, Ipswich and Blackpool and he's now signed up to MOT Leeds news to share his reaction to the latest news from Elland Road.

David Norris believes West Brom should be worried about Carlos Corberan with the pressure on Daniel Farke at Leeds United.

The former Whites midfielder argued that any run without a win at Elland Road could put the German on the chopping block at Elland Road.

Leeds currently sit fifth in the Championship and Norris believes that any bad run could even see Farke sacked before Christmas.

"The problem for Daniel Farke is that he can't go five or six games without a win, that pressure is really on," Norris exclusively told MOT Leeds News.

"Carlos Corberan at West Brom was obviously someone they were linked with not too long ago, and he's done really well since leaving as Leeds' number two. West Brom should be worried about his release clause.

"Any sort of bad run and I do think Leeds could push the button, even if it's this side of Christmas."

Leeds United to sack Daniel Farke before Christmas?

Leeds have shown down the years they can be ruthless, and with the potential options on the table, Farke is under an increased microscope.

Sheffield United and Watford are the next two opponents at Elland Road who have performed well this season, before a trip to Bristol City rounds off October.

Corberan, former coach under Marcelo Bielsa, is fondly viewed by Leeds fans and the release clause he holds at West Brom could be tempting for the 49ers Enterprises.
