The promotion party has been had, now Daniel Farke and Leeds United will hope a title celebration comes their way.

Focus needs to be back on the final days, as after Leeds’ dominant win over Bristol City, an away trip to Plymouth Argyle remains.

A win, and the title is theirs, as Farke will be hailed for an excellent 100-point season.

Liam Manning thinks Leeds are the best after they dismantled his team, and it will show if they get the job done in Plymouth.

The atmosphere at Elland Road was electric on Monday night, and what Leeds icon Gary McAllister did speaks volumes to the people who make the club what it is.

What Gary McAllister did before Leeds United win vs Bristol City

McAllister is no doubt a hero around Elland Road.

When he gets spotted at the ground it’s great to see, as the former midfielder who made 231 appearances for the club deserves his status.

Not only that but he managed Leeds in a dark time in 2008 with the club struggling financially showing the lengths he’ll go to.

McAllister was mooted to join Leeds in 2023, in what would’ve been an extraordinary return, but he has made himself feel at home at Fortress Elland once again.

Before the game, Marching On Together was blaring out around the ground, and after the usual theme finished, McAllister could be spotted waving his scarf around with the Leeds contingent.

McAllister said Leeds should’ve appointed Andoni Iraola

With manager talk back at the forefront of things, many names are coming and going.

Before Farke, it was suspected that Andoni Iraola would join Leeds, as it’s known now that he is flourishing with Bournemouth in the Premier League.

However, Rayo Vallecano blocked Iraola from joining Leeds, which ultimately lead to Farke coming through the door.

McAllister wanted Iraola at Leeds, and the Whites legend clearly has a good eye when it comes to coaches coming in.

It will be interesting to see what he thinks about Farke and whether he suggests someone else to replace him.
