Football is from the players
I would have welcomed Sol Bamba as the chairman of Leeds United, and not just because he was a lovely guy with a solid baseline of decency. But because he was a player, a footballer.
Leeds United 2-0 Hull City: Ride the tiger
Gazza? Maradona? Farke, mate, you would have loved Bill Fotherby. But we need to avoid letting the idea of a no.10 become a white whale, chasing an obsession while losing a season to the assumption that no no.10 equals no creativity.

Leeds United 3-3 Portsmouth: Under the overwhelm
Daniel Farke says winning 22-0 "never happens", but Leeds look better when they believe it's worth a try.
