'I hope the 49ers will back Farke'

Leeds United Supporters' Club treasurer Phil Beeton says he hopes owners the 49ers Enterprises will back manager Daniel Farke over the summer.
After securing promotion to the Premier League, football finance expert Kieran Maguire has said the Whites spending £100m would be "just about feasible".
"His track record is brilliant in the Championship and I'm glad we stuck with him," Beeton said on Farke in a chat with BBC Radio Leeds.
"I'm glad he proved he could do it again. We finished top, top scorers, had a tremendous points total with 100.
"I like the guy. He keeps himself to himself but he knows what he wants to do. I think the difference between next year and previous seasons where he's been up there and come straight back down is he could have a little bit of financial backing and bring in players he wants in areas he wants to strengthen.
"I hope the 49ers will back him on that. He deserves a chance. Anybody who's done a job like that does.
"You have to ask yourself what do you want. The big problem is the expectations."
