'That is a card Farke could play...'

[Getty Images] On the latest episode of Don't Go To Bed Just Yet, Jonny Buchan, Adam Pope and Kaiser Chiefs' bassist Simon Rix discuss Daniel Farke's contract situation and whether he could sign a new deal before the Premier League season begins. The Leeds United boss is under contract until summer 2027. Pope said: "You're negotiating so many facets and at this point in time I would imagine recruitment is a major thing. You wouldn't put your signature to a contract where you feel that you're not happy with the recruitment process so everything has got to be gradually going on, hence I think it's a series of negotiations which can change a bit over the next few months. I wouldn't be too perturbed if it wasn't announced beforehand." Rix added: "I do think that is a good point that players would like to know who the manager is but at the same time people were signing for Manchester City when they didn't know if Pep Guardiola was staying or not, people were signing for teams where they didn't know who the manager was going to be. "So maybe it's less of a thing now because people have directors of football and all of that stuff. "I do think that is a card Daniel Farke has which is 'there are x, y and z players who want to sign for Leeds United and you've agreed the deals but they want to know that I'm going to be here'. That is a card he could play." Listen to Don't Go To Bed Just Yet on BBC Sounds
