Leeds United's Premier League survival is mathematically confirmed and Rocco is joined by Isaac Johnson (Leeds Live) to reflect on a remarkable few weeks for the Whites. From the historic win at Old Trafford to the FA Cup quarter-final shootout drama at West Ham, the cup semi-final disappointment at Wembley, the 1-1 with Tottenham in north London, and what survival actually means for the 49ers' long-term project. Isaac shares insight on Daniel Farke's tactical evolution, the formation question for next season, and his thoughts on whether the manager's contract will be extended. Plus contract talks for Ethan Ampadu, Pascal Struijk and Karl Darlow, what the 49ers learned from last summer's window, the unsung heroes of the campaign including Ilia Gruev, Lukas Nmecha and the bargain that is James Justin, Georginio Rutter's Elland Road return, and Rocco's brand new book on the 92-93 title defence.
