Sean Dyche tipped for Leeds hire in Premier League on talkSPORT
Sean Dyche could be set for a move to Leeds United as preparations for the Premier League kickstart.
The Whites are in the process of preparing for a season back in the English top division after winning the Championship with 100 points.
It looks likely that this achievement will afford Daniel Farke the opportunity to guide his side into the elite tier despite his previous failings with Norwich City.
With that being said, questions have been raised over the potential of Dyche moving to LS11 and what sort of impact he could have.
Troy Deeney raises Dyche question at Leeds United
It is certainly going to be an interesting few months at Elland Road as the transfer window and the start of the new campaign await supporters.
This has recently seen the likes of Matheus Fernandes linked with a move from Southampton as the Whites look to bolster their side.
Regardless of these links, there have still been questions over the potential of relegation after the last six promoted sides have subsequently faced the drop.
This hasn’t helped the future prospects for Farke at Elland Road with Crook raising the question on talkSPORT (23 May, 11:40am), whether being in the Championship is “more fun” for fans.
He said: “I think the three teams who come up will go down again, and maybe that’s the issue. In the Championship, if you’re a Southampton, you’re going to win more games than you are in the Premier League.
“There’s an argument to say it’s more fun watching your team in the Championship rather than getting battered in the Premier League every week.”
This left Troy Deeney baffled as he instantly replied: “I think people keep getting fixated on the last two seasons because we’ve seen Fulham go up and are now fighting for Europe.
“That’s happened in the last five years, so it’s a case of going up and not having the right recruitment strategy and not having an understanding of having a style of play and tweaking it to stay up. If we gave Leeds Sean Dyche, would you put money on them staying up?”
It is safe to say that this left Crook unsure as he stuttered to say: “Not necessarily… You give them a chance.”
Dyche to Leeds United could make sense
It would feel like a complete injustice to Farke if he were to face the sack before the new season after what was such an excellent campaign in the second tier.
The German managed to brush off his side and pick the likes of Ethan Ampadu, Junior Firpo and Ilia Gruev off the ground after the play-off final disappointment.
The existing players, combined with star additions like Manor Solomon and Ao Tanaka, have worked wonders to earn a place back in the Premier League.
| Position | Club | Games played | Goal difference | Points |
| 1. | Leeds United | 46 | +65 | 100 |
| 2. | Burnley | 46 | +53 | 100 |
It will now be a question of whether Farke can adapt his approach to survive in such a difficult division or whether he will ultimately struggle and face the sack.
If the latter were to happen, there is no doubt that Dyche would represent a positive appointment to go back to basics and push Leeds away from the drop zone.
