DANIEL FARKE’S SECRET REQUEST FOR THE NEW ELLAND ROAD HOME DRESSING ROOM REVEALED
Construction begins this summer at Elland Road. Find out how Daniel Farke is helping shape the stadium's future atmosphere.
Daniel Farke has shared some thoughts about the dressing room setup and the atmosphere at Elland Road with the folks running the stadium’s expansion, but that’s about as far as his involvement goes.
Leeds United finally got the green light from Leeds City Council on Thursday to expand Elland Road’s capacity to 53,000. Prep work starts right away, and the bigger construction jobs kick off this summer.
The stadium isn’t shutting down during all this. Most of the heavy work will happen over the summer or during international breaks, so games and events can keep rolling.
It’s been seven months since Leeds put in their application—a mix of full permission to expand the West Stand and outline permission for the North Stand. The council held off on a decision at first because of traffic concerns, but now that’s sorted. The City Plans Panel committee voted 11-1 in favour, and honestly, most people seem happy about the whole thing.
When the club first filed for planning, they guessed the project would wrap up by late 2030. Take that with a grain of salt, though—these things always change. Who knows if Farke will still be around by then, but he’ll always have left his mark, even if it’s a small one.
Asked how involved he’s been in the plans, Farke said, “Not too much. I’m not the one who deserves all the credit here. Others should get the praise.
“Sometimes I’ll give my take on little things, like what the home dressing room should look like, or what matters for the atmosphere.
“The main thing is making the stadium bigger so more fans can come, support us, and feel connected. We want to build an even stronger bond with our supporters and the community.
“But at the same time, we can’t lose that traditional charm and the unique Elland Road feel. There are people on this project who are much better at planning that stuff than I am.
“I do toss in a few ideas now and then, from a manager’s or player’s point of view. But making it happen? That’s down to others. I don’t need any praise for this.”
Morrie Eisenberg, Leeds’ chief business officer, is heading up the expansion team. The project pays for itself, with the extra income from more seats going straight back into covering the costs.
Whether Leeds plays in the Premier League or the Championship doesn’t change if the expansion happens, but it does affect things like loan rates and bringing in new investors. That can mess with timelines. So, in that sense, Farke knows his own job matters too.
He said, “Yeah, maybe by helping us get promoted, I can give the stadium project a bit of a push. It’s definitely tougher to pull this off if we’re still in the Championship. That’s important.
“The more successful we are, the easier it is to get this done. I just hope we find the right balance—build a modern, functional stadium with top facilities, but hang on to our traditional charm and that special Elland Road atmosphere. That’s the real goal.”
SCATHING VERDICT: ANGE POSTECOGLOU CLAIMS TOTTENHAM ARE "NOT A BIG CLUB" TODAY
Ange Postecoglou claims Tottenham "isn't a big club" in a scathing review of their transfer policy following Thomas Frank's sacking.
Ange Postecoglou didn’t mince words about why Tottenham keep falling short. He says the club’s refusal to really compete with the Premier League’s top spenders holds them back, simple as that.
Postecoglou got the boot last June, right after he delivered a Europa League trophy and ended a 17-year wait for silverware. Now his replacement, Thomas Frank, is out too. Tottenham sit 16th in the league, just five points clear of relegation, and they’ve got league leaders Arsenal up next. Not exactly a fun place to be.
After Frank’s sacking, Postecoglou went on The Overlap’s Stick to Football podcast and pretty much called out Tottenham’s whole approach. “If you look at what they spend and how they structure wages, they’re just not a big club,” he said. He saw it firsthand while trying to sign players; Tottenham just weren’t in the race for the big names.
In his first season, Postecoglou managed to get Tottenham up to fifth. But things went downhill. The next year, even with that Europa League win, they slipped to 17th. He’s convinced the club just doesn’t get what it takes to win, you have to take some risks, and they just won’t.
“I felt like the club was saying, ‘We’re one of the big boys,’ but honestly, they’re not,” he said.
Frank was Tottenham’s fifth full-time manager since Mauricio Pochettino left in 2019, even though Pochettino took them to a Champions League final. Fans are frustrated. Tottenham keep missing out on their transfer targets. Frank wanted Morgan Gibbs-White from Nottingham Forest last summer, but that didn’t happen. Arsenal snatched up Eberechi Eze instead.
Postecoglou, who later had a short, rocky stint at Forest himself, thinks Frank might not have realised what he was getting into. “There’s no guarantee with any manager. They’ve had some world-class people in that job and still no real success. Why is that?” he asked. “What’s the real objective here? Did Thomas even know what he was walking into? Who knows?
136-YEAR CURSE: BURNLEY AVOID MATCHING 1890 RECORD WITH A SENSATIONAL COMEBACK CRYSTAL PALACE 3-2 WIN
Burnley escaped a historic 136-year record! Read how Scott Parker’s men scored three in six minutes to stun Crystal Palace 3-2.
Burnley looked finished. Down 2-0 after just half an hour, with Jørgen Strand Larsen scoring his first goals for Crystal Palace, it pretty much felt like Scott Parker’s team were about to tie their old record: 17 top-flight games without a win, a streak that’s haunted them since 1890. For Burnley fans, the past three months have been brutal. Then, out of nowhere, everything flipped in six wild minutes right before halftime.
Hannibal Mejbri pulled one back. Jaidon Anthony levelled it. Then Jefferson Lerma, of all people, knocked in an own goal. Just like that, Burnley snatched only their second away win since promotion. It keeps their survival hopes alive, barely, but Parker knows they’ll need a few more miracles like this to actually stay up.
For Palace, this was a harsh wake-up call. Their big win over Brighton had just snapped a 12-game winless spell, and for a while, it looked like Oliver Glasner’s side were cruising to only their third home victory of the season, something that would’ve eased their relegation fears. But sloppy defending let Burnley right back in.
Burnley’s luck before kickoff didn’t exactly scream “comeback”. Parker had never won a league game in London as an away manager, and the team bus got stuck in traffic, pushing kick-off back by ten minutes. Palace, for their part, hadn’t lost at home to a promoted side since Sunderland thrashed them 4-0 back in 2017.
When Strand Larsen smashed in a gorgeous ball from Adam Wharton and then dived to head in Lerma’s cross after Kyle Walker messed up, it just seemed like Burnley were doomed.
But then Mejbri gave the visitors a lifeline, beating Dean Henderson with a sharp finish. Suddenly, Burnley were level. There was some debate about whether Lesley Ugochukwu handled the ball before setting up Anthony to score, but nobody could argue with the bottom corner finish – no chance for the keeper.
Then came the third: Bashir Humphreys’ header was stopped by Henderson, but Lerma could only turn the rebound into his own net. Palace trudged off at halftime to boos. Glasner sent them back out early, probably after some choice words in the dressing room.
Even with £35 million man Brennan Johnson on the pitch, Palace couldn’t break down Burnley’s defence. Daichi Kamada missed a decent chance, and Martin Dubravka’s save in stoppage time kept out Ismaïla Sarr. In the end, it was Burnley’s small but loud travelling support celebrating. Somehow, their team had pulled off a rare and badly needed win.
