Why Daniel Farke's job isn't at risk yet

Why Daniel Farke's job as Leeds United manager isn't at risk yet

Transcript

00:00I think there is a bit of a concern there, but I don't think it's hysteria and I certainly don't think that anyone,

00:06I don't think the 49ers will be considering his position. I've seen suggestions from people that if they lose to Cardiff, he should go.

00:12I think I would ask people just to look at the evidence of what Farka can do in this division, both for Norwich and for Leeds last season,

00:21and think, is there a more natural appointment than Farka?

00:29I mean, when he was appointed, was anyone saying, no, no, he's not the one, there's a better one out there? I don't think anyone was.

00:36No, yeah, I think you're absolutely right, and Norwich's track record speaks for itself.

00:41Also, if you were to bring in a new manager right now, you have to get to know the squad, a squad which we know for a fact,

00:48there were certain players who were brought in because they were the players that Farka requested.

00:54You're going to have to bring in an entirely new coaching staff because they're all Farka's men.

01:00There's going to be elements of the analysis team as well that you'd have to replace.

01:05I don't think that would send the right message to the new signings.

01:07I don't think it would exude a position of calm to investors that, you know, we know what we're doing.

01:17I just don't, I can't see it being a possibility, certainly not at this early stage.

01:21It costs a lot of money.

01:23Well, exactly.

01:24It costs a lot of money in paying off a manager and that all goes towards PSR, doesn't it?

01:30And then you've got to bring in a new manager and the expenditure of bringing in his staff.
