Proposal: abolish football managers
The death of football is relentlessly demanding that the manager is held 'accountable' when organised chaos does not deliver perfection.

Leeds United 1-2 Southampton: Wild style
A lot of things could have been better this season. But not by much.
QPR 4-0 Leeds United: They have to win
Ninety points say Farke does know what he's doing. But that those points haven't already secured promotion suggests Farke has been caught out.
Middlesbrough 3-4 Leeds United: Something to believe in
"It's the Championship," said Farke. Never truer words spoken. "I think all the supporters have enjoyed the game," he added. Hmm. I'm not so sure about that one, Daniel. "I was about to throw up in the second half," said Firpo. Now, that I can believe in.
Going out of style
This is not to start arguments about one style being better than another, or one manager being better than another. But what people are finding to be faults in Daniel Farke's football would have solved many of the problems people had with Marcelo Bielsa's.
Leeds United 0-1 Blackburn Rovers: The weight of numbers
How have Leeds got themselves into this position, chasing wins out of draws and turning them into defeats, with three games left?
Leeds United 0-0 Sunderland: More than this
A lot of people will tell you that promotion at any cost is the only important thing. But the mood of Elland Road during the Sunderland game suggests Beeston is one place that still wants a little bit more from football.
Coventry City 2-1 Leeds United: Plan A worked, so what now?
Farke has shown a calm demeanour from the start, as if nothing can surprise him, so it’s likely that, yes, there is a plan after losing to Coventry. I don’t imagine it’s complicated.
Leeds United 3-1 Hull City: Sometimes
When a penalty was awarded in the second half it was cheered but then feared, because Leeds had a chance to re-take the lead, but first someone would have to take the actual penalty. The best thing: hope. The worst thing: hope.
Watford 2-2 Leeds United: Button moon
In the end it’s an away point, which Farke said some weeks back was all he wanted from the remaining away games. It was also an education.
