This Farke nonsense would take Leeds to a much darke place...

AT first, it just seemed like a chat to fill some air-time on a popular radio station. And they have an awful lot of air-time to fill.

Should Leeds United replace Daniel Farke now that he has taken them into the Premier League?

It was the sort of mildly preposterous suggestion that might get a bored punter to call in.

But somehow somehow - it appears to have got a bit of traction. As we say in the trade, it might have legs.

Really? The premise to the idea is a simple one. Previously, Farke has taken a team down from the Premier League and struggled in a second stint in the top tier.

So move to Plan B straight away because you know Plan A is going to fail.

It is a truly dismal premise. Sack a good man, sack a good coach, just because you think someone else might keep you in a particular division?
