Leeds United\u2019s deadline day will be remembered by the fanbase for all the wrong reasons.<\/strong><\/p>\n After the win against Everton in the opening game, the stuffing has been knocked out of the Leeds<\/a> fanbase since, albeit last week\u2019s 0-0 draw with Newcastle United was not a bad result at all.<\/p>\n Daniel Farke has effectively been hung out to dry<\/a> with the lack of resources he has been given, especially when you look at other promoted teams like Sunderland.<\/p>\n With the supporters\u2019 frustrations at an all-time high, Leeds chairman Paraag Marathe<\/a> will have to answer for the underwhelming deadline he allowed on his watch.<\/p>\n Harry Wilson seemed to be arriving at Elland Road<\/a> in a last-minute deal with Fulham, but this ultimately collapsed.<\/p>\n Wilson<\/a> alone would not have been enough to save the window, but the fact that Leeds couldn\u2019t even bring him in was a damming indictment on the 49ers<\/a> and their seeming lack of preparation for the Premier League.<\/p>\n With the window now closed, the 49ers may have to delve into the free agent market<\/a> to bring extra bodies in to West Yorkshire.<\/p>\n Marathe will likely face questions on this at the national meetup Q&A session in New Orleans with the Leeds United supporters group in the US, Canada and Mexico.<\/p>\n Leeds United Americas posted on their X account on 1 September that supporters can still submit a question that will be put to the chairman.<\/p>\n Parag Marathe must face the music<\/strong><\/p>\n If United\u2019s chairman refuses to answer, or gives wishy-washy answers when asked about the club\u2019s recruitment strategy and failings this summer, there will be a significant portion of the Elland Road faithful who call for the 49ers to sell the club.<\/p>\n If it was a PSR decision that held Leeds back in the market, Marathe must specify this in the Q&A.<\/p>\n If PSR did hold the Whites back, he must also be questioned why the likes of Illan Meslier have not been sold<\/a> despite him evidently not being a part of Farke\u2019s plans for the Premier League campaign.<\/p>\n![\"Leeds](\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Leeds-fans-1024x576.png\")
