He also said ‘we have to make sure this never happens again in our future’ and I don’t think he was referring to relegation
A shot at the ridiculous clauses no doubt.
We'll be okay but it's going to take some work and this season being a transitional one probably.

"I have unbelievable confidence of how hard our people, our key people behind the scenes work," he said.
"So they also are not responsible for the situation, they have to respect also all the contracts, how they are and we're working from this point, so there's no complaining about the situation or accusing, not at all, we just accept the situation."
Farke on the time constraints he's under and the squad building.
Addresses neither like
Doesn't really need to.
We can see what the situation is. Frustrating but we'll be alright.
I've just commented in the preseason thread.
Waccoe seems to have misconstrueded his comments to "he's leaving "
Saying that, I hope they have!! Melt down as per
The problem Leeds have got when it comes to transfers is three-fold. Firstly the takeover is still awaiting EFL approval and though there is no concern at Elland Road over the green light being given, it has taken longer than anyone would have wanted. The delay over appointing Farke, whose arrival was only confirmed a day before the first scheduled football session of pre-season, showed that optics and the logistics of requiring Andrea Radrizzani's sign-off on major business mattered to the 49ers. That is likely to be the case for transfers, too. But as Farke's arrival proved, it's not at all an insurmountable issue.
The second issue is time. There is not a lot of it. Three weeks and two days exist between Leeds and the opening game of the season. It's little wonder Farke is issuing such stark and realistic messages over the difficulty facing him and the club when it comes to the start of the campaign.
And thirdly there's the issue of patience. Supporters had their reserves drained entirely by last season's shambles and their concerns over the lack of signings to date are therefore understandable. What they want to see is new faces. What they probably don't want to hear but might accept as a holding position for a few days more, is that Farke is said to be heavily involved in transfer meetings - more so than most Leeds bosses in recent years. He's not in the meetings simply to listen and nod but to contribute, bringing his own ideas on potential targets and players he knows can do the job from previous experience.
