Ray Parlour fears for Daniel Farke as sack question raised at Leeds United, ‘madness’
Daniel Farke is coming under increasing scrutiny as Leeds United boss.
Farke is preparing for a clash against Aston Villa to begin a hugely challenging run of Premier League fixtures at Elland Road.
The Whites have struggled in recent weeks, with Leeds losing 3-1 against Nottingham Forest last time out, despite taking the lead early on.
With the LS11 outfit sitting 16th in the table, Farke is being linked with the Leeds sack once again, with a managerial change potentially in the pipeline.
A question has been asked of Ray Parlour as the Arsenal legend has spoken out ahead of a possible Farke exit from West Yorkshire.
Ray Parlour worried about Daniel Farke future at Leeds United
Farke is under serious pressure of the sack at Leeds, even after what has been a largely expected start to the season after promotion.
A battle against relegation was always going to be on the cards, and as it stands, the Whites are clear of the bottom three after 11 games.
That hasn’t stopped frustration from bubbling under the surface at Elland Road as sections of the fanbase want a change in the dugout.
There is plenty of controversy surrounding the German’s future, with those looking in from the outside in left baffled by the potential sack decision.
That is the case for Adrian Durham on talkSPORT, who questioned, “Would it be madness right now to sack Daniel Farke?“
It is safe to say that Parlour believes that would be the case and has concerns about Farke’s future in Yorkshire.
He said: “Absolutely. You’ve got to be realistic. Every single club that’s come up, I know Sunderland are going well, but they’re competing. You can’t just suddenly change the whole team.
“He’s not been given a lot, and I don’t think it would be the right move at the moment. If he has lost the players, that is a problem, but if they’re all trying to the best they can. The next four games, I do fear for him.“

Farke can’t be evaluated on upcoming Leeds fixtures
The Whites are preparing to face Aston Villa in their first action after the November international break.
Things don’t get any easier after a clash with Unai Emery’s men, as clashes against Manchester City, Chelsea and Liverpool await.
These four games represent four of the Premier League’s toughest opponents right now, coming at arguably the worst time for Farke.
Realistically, the German shouldn’t be evaluated on these results, as the Leeds hierarchy decides on the sack at Elland Road.
