Leeds United fans call for the immediate sacking of daniel farke over his embarrassing post match interview

Leeds United fans have erupted in anger, calling for the immediate sacking of manager Daniel Farke after what they described as an “embarrassing” post-match interview following their 3-1 defeat to Nottingham Forest. The defeat not only deepened the frustration among the Elland Road faithful but also ignited a full-blown storm over Farke’s handling of the team and his perceived lack of accountability in public comments.

The match at the City Ground was a crucial one for Leeds, who entered the fixture under mounting pressure after a series of underwhelming performances. Yet, instead of rallying, the team appeared disjointed and devoid of ideas, with Forest capitalizing on defensive lapses to claim all three points. But while the defeat stung, it was Farke’s words after the match that truly infuriated fans.

In his post-match interview, the German manager downplayed the defeat, describing it as “a decent performance with unlucky moments” and praised the players for “showing courage and control in large periods.” Many supporters felt the remarks were completely out of touch with reality, especially given Leeds’ visible lack of urgency, sloppy passing, and poor finishing. Farke’s insistence that Leeds “dominated most of the ball” did little to appease a fanbase demanding more than just possession statistics.

On social media, Leeds fans vented their frustration en masse. Phrases like “Farke out” and “enough excuses” quickly began trending among the club’s online communities. One supporter posted, “We didn’t just lose, we looked lost. And the manager’s saying that was decent? He’s lost the plot.” Another added, “Farke talking about control and courage when we couldn’t string three passes together. That interview was a disgrace.”

The discontent reflects deeper issues that have been brewing for weeks. Under Farke, Leeds have struggled for consistency, often failing to replicate the aggressive, front-foot football that defined their promotion seasons. Instead, the side looks hesitant and predictable, with several senior players reportedly losing confidence in the manager’s approach. Fans have particularly criticized his team selections, reluctance to make tactical changes, and what many perceive as an overly cautious playing style.

Club insiders have so far declined to comment on speculation surrounding Farke’s future, but the growing discontent cannot be ignored. Leeds’ ambitions of securing Premier League promotion are fading fast, and patience among supporters is wearing dangerously thin. Many feel Farke’s latest interview was the final straw, painting a picture of a manager disconnected from both his players and the fanbase.

Several pundits also weighed in on the situation. Former Leeds midfielder David Prutton noted that Farke’s tone “lacked any sense of urgency or accountability,” while others questioned whether the dressing room still fully supports him.

For a club that thrives on passion and fight, Daniel Farke’s calm deflections after another defeat felt like an insult to the badge. The fans’ message is now crystal clear: they want change — and they want it now. Unless results and performances improve dramatically, it seems increasingly likely that the Leeds board will have no choice but to act on those calls sooner rather than later.
