The fallout from the shock news that Daniel Farke could be sacked despite leading Leeds United back to the Premier League has continued on Thursday, with the club\u2019s hierarchy being urged to be \u201cruthless\u201d amid growing reports that the Whites could move to appoint a Premier League title winner.<\/p>\n
Despite securing a return to the Premier League at the weekend<\/strong><\/a>, news broke on Wednesday that 49ers Enterprises are considering sacking Farke<\/strong><\/a> in a surprise move.<\/p>\n The German has led Leeds United<\/strong><\/a> beyond the 90-point mark for the second time in his career, just as he did when his Norwich City side threatened the 100-point barrier during the 2020\/21 season, and when they were promoted with 94 points in 2018\/19.<\/p>\n It was a topic of discussion on talkSPORT Breakfast on Thursday, as former Villa striker Gabby Agbonlahor offered his thoughts on the developing situation.<\/p>\n \u201cI just think a club of Leeds\u2019 stature, they\u2019re out of the Premier League for how many years, 18, 19 years? They\u2019ve got back in, relegated,\u201d Agbonlahor said.<\/p>\n \u201cThese owners might look at it and say nah, we\u2019ve got to be ruthless.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cWe\u2019ve seen Bournemouth do it, with Gary O\u2019Neil. Got rid of Gary O\u2019Neil, went and got Iraola and look at them now.<\/p>\n \u201cI wouldn\u2019t want to see it, because I think it\u2019s ruthless, but you never know with these owners.\u201d<\/p>\n There are plenty of parallels to be drawn between Leeds and Bournemouth<\/strong><\/a>. O\u2019Neil<\/strong><\/a> was sacked by ambitious American owners in June 2023, just one month after keeping the Cherries in the Premier League.<\/p>\n Bill Foley made the tough decision to sack O\u2019Neil on the basis that he felt the club needed to move in a different direction to implement their desired playing style and achieve long-term goals.<\/p>\n MORE ON THE PROMOTED CLUBS FROM F365
