Daniel Farke sack news emerges after Nottingham Forest defeat amid Leeds disgruntlement
Leeds United may have to put up with Daniel Farke for a while longer.
Leeds’ 3-1 defeat to Nottingham Forest was yet another warning sign of the possible repercussions that the Whites could face at the end of the campaign.
By gameweek 11, just 11 points have been accumulated, with Leeds sitting just one point above the relegation zone.
A lot of the blame will be focused on the 49ers’ lack of ambition in the summer transfer window, though even more of it will be directed towards Farke.
49ers unlikely to make knee-jerk Daniel Farke call
Given the form demonstrated in recent weeks and the struggles that have been consistent with their play since their return to the Premier League, Leeds need to move on from Farke.
However, according to Graham Smyth via the Yorkshire Evening Post on 10 November, the German is not going to be sacked at Elland Road, at least not yet.
The report states, “YEP does not anticipate a change at this stage“, despite the unrest that was showcased from the travelling support.
Smyth once again echoed the fact that there was “disgruntlement” in the stands at the City Ground, and rightfully so, given the display that fans were served up.
Not for the first time this season, Leeds looked lost, especially going forward.
Only Wolves have scored fewer than the Whites, who failed to add any real attacking quality to their side when it was blatantly obvious that it was going to be required in the summer.
Of course, if the 49ers keep their faith with Farke over the international break, it will make the decision even harder should results continue going against them.
Daniel Farke’s Premier League record speaks volumes about 49ers
Farke isn’t new to the Premier League, and yet he keeps on making the same mistakes.
It took him until the 74th minute to make changes against Forest, and by that point, the Whites were already chasing a lost cause.
That was his 60th Premier League game as a manager, and he has won just nine of them.
Shockingly, 41 of them have ended in defeat, with an average points per game of just 0.62.
Of course, Leeds are on course to achieve more than that this season, but to put that record into context, it would see his side pick up just 23 points over a full campaign.
If the 49ers are still backing him to succeed, it says a lot about where they want to take this club.
