One of the reasons Daniel Farke says he took the Elland Road job is because Leeds United - prepare yourself for an understatement - is an emotional club.
That much is not in dispute, not by anyone who has been in the stadium for a big win, watched limbs cascade in response to a big goal, travelled back on the train with supporters after a painful defeat or offered any kind of opinion on any subject involving Leeds. This club draws the rawest of emotion from its fans and what, in comparison with other clubs, can often feel like extreme reactions.
He sees lots of factors behind the club's emotional state. 'Everyone in football naturally tends towards the unhappiness and pessimism,' he told the YEP. 'Social media amplifies and catalyses it.
