Leeds United have started the Premier League season in promising fashion under Daniel Farke, amassing four points in three matches.<\/strong><\/p>\n Leeds\u2019 1-0 win over Everton<\/a> paved the way for optimism at Elland Road,<\/a> and despite a hammering suffered at the hands of Arsenal, Leeds\u2019 0-0 draw with Newcastle<\/a> confirmed a decent start.<\/p>\n Farke<\/a> has been previously unsuccessful in the Premier League, getting relegated twice whilst in charge at Norwich.<\/p>\n Should things turn sour at Leeds<\/a>, 49ers president Paraag Marathe<\/a> has a plan for Leeds to succeed if Farke needs to be relieved of his managing duties.<\/p>\n Writing for The Athletic<\/a>, Matt Slater has detailed Leeds\u2019 financial situation, their growth strategy, and more after getting his hands on a recent pitch deck for further investment.<\/p>\n In regard to Farke, the 49ers have a contingency plan if Farke is to be sacked already.<\/p>\n They note that the average tenure of a Premier League manager is 18 months, and given Farke\u2019s previous record at this level, it\u2019s smart for the owners to plan ahead.<\/p>\n Farke gained valuable experience managing Borussia Dortmund\u2019s second team before eventually moving to East Anglia, where he made a name for himself, securing two separate promotions to the Premier League.<\/p>\n Leeds\u2019 play-off final defeat to Southampton<\/a> in 2024 could have spelt the end of Farke\u2019s Leeds reign, yet the 49ers rightfully stuck by him, and won the Championship last season.<\/p>\n Despite the good start to the season, Leeds fans should be encouraged that there is a plan in place should Farke\u2019s reign go south.<\/p>\n Leeds have also made it a priority to develop youth talents and sell them on for big fees, before reinvesting in the stadium or the training facilities.<\/p>\n Gray\u2019s sale to Tottenham<\/a> last year has fast-tracked plans to expand Elland Road from a capacity of 38,000 to 47,000.<\/p>\n After phase one is completed, phase two plans to take the ground to a capacity of 53,000, making it the seventh largest stadium in England.<\/p>\n Leeds have changed a lot in the last decade, and the 49ers\u2019 role at the club seems to be constantly planning towards the future; something fans can definitely get on board with.<\/p>\n Whether Farke will be around to see those changes, however, remains to be seen.<\/p>\n Sign up for the MOT Leeds News WhatsApp channel<\/a> and turn on notifications to have all the latest, breaking Leeds United news sent straight to your phone.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Credit: Hasan Karim, Imago Wed 10 September 2025 11:45, UK Leeds United have started the Premier League season…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":390274,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8814],"tags":[748,1385,393,4884,1860,26575,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-413059","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-leeds","8":"tag-britain","9":"tag-daniel-farke","10":"tag-england","11":"tag-great-britain","12":"tag-leeds","13":"tag-paraag-marathe","14":"tag-uk","15":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115179888215258960","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/413059","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=413059"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/413059\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/390274"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=413059"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=413059"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=413059"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"Daniel](\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/daniel-farke1-1024x683.jpg\")
