AliousGordon Strachan, a Leeds United legend, has refuted the notion that manager Daniel Farke faces a “promotion or bust” scenario this season.
Despite Leeds narrowly missing out on promotion last season after losing the Championship Play-Off Final to Southampton, Strachan believes Farke remains the right person to lead the club.
Leeds are still considered early favorites for promotion to the Premier League, even after losing key players like Archie Gray and Crysencio Summerville.
In an interview with Leeds Live, Strachan emphasized Farke’s strong track record in the Championship, noting his ability to secure promotions.
Strachan described Farke as a “stubborn manager” who understands the requirements for reaching the Premier League.
He expressed confidence that the club would not consider replacing Farke this season or next, regardless of the outcome.
The former player’s comments suggest that Leeds United is taking a long-term view with Farke at the helm, valuing his experience and past success in achieving promotion from the Championship.
This stance indicates that the club may be prepared to give Farke time to build and develop the team, rather than demanding immediate promotion this season.
