DANIEL FARKE is unsurprised by claims Leeds\u00a0 are considering sacking him \u2014 despite securing Premier League promotion.<\/p>\n

The Whites<\/a> sealed their top-flight return after two years out when they thumped Stoke 6-0<\/a> last Monday.<\/p>\n

Yet despite his success, Leeds reportedly doubt boss Farke is the right man to lead them into the big time<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The German’s critics point to his record\u00a0 with Norwich<\/a> \u2014 two Prem promotions and two immediate returns to the second tier.<\/p>\n

Asked if he felt disrespected, Farke said: \u201cNot at all, it\u2019s not surprising.<\/p>\n

\u201cI knew for which club I signed, I\u2019m not sure how many managers Leeds had in the last 20 years, but it\u2019s a good effort if you last for three months.<\/p>\n

\u201cOnce you sign a contract, there\u2019s lots of pressure, noise, expectations.<\/p>\n

\u201cOn a weekly basis someone is linked. It\u2019s nothing new.\u201d<\/p>\n

Supporters sang the 48-year-old’s name amid promotion celebrations outside Elland Road on Monday night. <\/p>\n

But Farke has failed to win over at least one section of Leeds fans.<\/p>\n

They were unhappy with his playing style, use of substitutes and, until recently, his faith in keeper\u00a0Illan Meslier<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Farke took the reins at Leeds last term following relegation and only missed out on a Prem spot when Southampton<\/a> won the play-off final. <\/p>\n

Now he’s not just ensured a return to the elite, his team top the Championship on goal difference.<\/p>\n

And victory in their final two games would mean 100 points.<\/p>\n

Leeds host Bristol City on Monday then travel to bottom side Plymouth on May 3.<\/p>\n

However, Farke’s win record in the Prem stands at only 12%.<\/p>\n

And if Leeds did take the controversial decision to replace him, there could be an attempt to lure back Carlos Corberan.<\/p>\n

The Spaniard was assistant boss at Elland Road under\u00a0Marcelo\u00a0Bielsa<\/a> and had decent spells in charge of Huddersfield and\u00a0West Brom<\/a>.<\/p>\n
