Having already lost a dozen first-team players and with others agitating to leave the manager faces tough task to stabilise club
Daniel Farke is becoming so reacclimatised to the potholes blemishing England’s roads that he seems to regard them as something of a metaphor for his“I don’t want to sugarcoat the situation – I want to speak quite openly and honestly about it,” the German manager says. “I’m confident and in a good mood but I also know it will be difficult. I predict a bumpy road through August.”
It was to prove as fleeting as the sun’s recent appearances in West Yorkshire during this dismal washout of a summer. Two games into the Championship campaign Leeds have one point and Farke’s press conference before the home game against West Brom on Friday night was dominated by talk of the three former first-teamers banished from the dressing room by the former Norwich and Borussia Mönchengladbach manager.
Exit clauses have been something of a recurring theme for Farke. They are the reason why several of the 12 senior players to have left Elland Road, including Jack Harrison, Max Wöber, Brenden Aaronson and Robin Koch, were able to avoid second-tier football, often on season’s loans.
