Daniel Farke ‘sack talks set’ after Leeds United win Championship title
Daniel Farke may discuss his future with 49ers Enterprises soon after Leeds United won the Championship title.
The Whites beat Plymouth Argyle at Home Park on Saturday (3 May) to pip Burnley to the title.
Manor Solomon’s stoppage-time winner against Miron Muslic’s team secured the league trophy for the West Yorkshire outfit.
Speculations have surrounded Farke’s future at Elland Road since winning automatic promotion to the Premier League, and talks could potentially take place soon.
49ers Enterprises may have conversation with Farke at Leeds United
49ers Enterprises may have a conversation with Farke after the Whites won the Championship title, Jason Cundy says.
The talkSPORT pundit believes the Americans will want to speak with the German manager at Elland Road if they feel the former Norwich City boss isn’t the right person to lead them in the top flight.

| Championship | 46 | 29 | 13 | 4 |
Cundy has branded the uncertainty around the 48-year-old head coach “unconventional” but expects him to be sought-after if he’s sacked.
Speaking on talkSPORT (3 May, 17:37), the ex-Chelsea ace said: “It’s unconventional, isn’t it, to think about it. He might be the man to take them out of the division, but if they think he’s not the man to keep them in the Premier League, then the conversation has to take place.
“You can’t argue with what he’s done. And he’ll be a very sought-after manager.”
Farke must be at Elland Road next season
It’s outrageous to think Farke may leave Elland Road after winning the Championship title with 100 points.
The hierarchy seem to have doubts about the German manager’s suitability to keep them in the Premier League.
After underwhelming at Norwich City in the top flight, it isn’t surprising to see questions about the 48-year-old head coach’s future, but the 49ers should trust him.
Leeds need to give Farke time in the Premier League before taking any drastic steps.
The noise around Elland Road isn’t encouraging and won’t help preparations for the upcoming campaign.
If the German manager has a poor start next season, there’ll be clamour among the hierarchy to replace him.
The West Yorkshire outfit have dug themselves a hole that they now can’t get out of if the team suffer immediate relegation.
What the 49ers should do is reinforce the Whites with quality signings next summer to give Farke the best chance of beating the top teams in the Premier League.
Supporters are rejoicing in LS11 after winning the title, but the German manager’s unceremonious exit will undoubtedly sour the mood.
