The inside track on the football stories that matter
Daniel Farke has been told he must win promotion with Leeds United next season amid rumours surrounding his position at Elland Road., former Scotland striker Frank McAvennie explained that, while he hopes Farke, 47, can keep his job, he must achieve promotion next season after coming so close.
Leeds were beaten 1-0 by Southampton in the playoff final, condemning Farke’s side to another year in the Championship. This was despite picking up 90 points, before a late capitulation, in which they lost four of their last six games, saw Leicester and Ipswich pip them to automatic promotion.Given the demands of the fans and the board at Leeds to reach Premier League football, Farke must prove he can take this side up or risk losing his job.
McAvennie insisted that he cannot be seen as a failure based on this season, despite Russell Martin suggesting otherwise, but plenty of people in Leeds will be hurt.That’s a hell of a thing. He’s judged as a success, but I wouldn’t say Farke was a failure, not by any stretch of the imagination.He’s a good manager. They were so close and they lost a few games that they shouldn’t have lost, they should’ve gone up automatically.
