We asked for your views on Leeds manager Daniel Farke, after Kaiser Chiefs bassist Simon Rix assessed his time at the club on BBC Radio Leeds' Don't Go To Bed Just Yet podcast.

Here are some of your comments:

Ian: I agree with Mr Rix. Farke has done well in the Premier League with basically a Championship team and think he's earned the chance to take us onwards and upwards.

Paul: Give him the cash in the summer after we stay up and we can start to fly!

Martin: Farke's credit should, in my view, stretch back to the moment he started at Leeds and how he helped to steady a significantly unstable ship. The work he did to pull together a squad when so many players jumped ship with loan clauses and sales after relegation. They were tough times and he's brought the club a long way.

Tony: Farke is doing a great job on a limited budget. He has a relatively small squad and has got the best from the majority of players. If (when!) we stay up, he should stay. He's deserved it.

Andrew: I am 100% behind supporting Farke next season - a humble, passionate leader who deserves a chance to try to build a squad and team that will result in Leeds spending many happy years in the Premier League.

Marcus: Farke definitely has credit in the bank but I'm not sure us fans think he's good enough to take us further even if we stay up. Far too many tactical and substitution errors, and we still keep conceding very late goals which cost us points, which hasn't changed from pretty much the start of the season. I like him a lot but if we stay up we need someone new.

Richard: Reasonably fair. I feel he underuses his full squad and doesn't know how to kill off teams. We draw too many where wins were possible. If he keeps us up he has done his job, but maybe someone else is needed to take us up the table. I wouldn't want anyone to be sacked but trying to get to the next level under Farke might be too much of an experiment. He has no previous form for doing that in a top league.
