Farke out?

[morty]

Or a hormonal teenage girl that can go from happy to despondent in the blink of an eye...

This concept of "happy clapping" is nonsense, absolutely nobody is drawing positives from the Chelsea game, not even Lakey.

But what folk can do, when they have calmed down a bit is look at the situation with a bit of context. Maybe try and level themselves out a bit, not get too carried away when we do well, and not climb on the ledge when we lose.

But, honestly, save your "happy clapper" nonsense for the Pinkun, I like to think we can be a bit more grown up here.

On paper Brentford's squad is no better than ours, but they actually gave Chelsea a game ...

But they still lost and they lost again at the weekend. I can see Brentford down among the relegation contenders by Christmas.

 

[Gunvald Larsson]

I just had a thought (unusual for me) ..... if Farke does leave, how about Nigel Pearson? He is very experienced and his teams play good football. He saved Leicester from relegation and did a good job trying to keep Watford up before they pulled the plug on him. He has also won promotions. I know he is high maintenance but he would surely be a better choice than Bruce or Martin.

I have not really considered potential replacements, as I really don't think the club will sack Farke in a hurry, after giving him a 4 year contract not so long ago.

Those moaning for his head after 9 games better buckle up for a long season...

I can see the atmosphere getting quite fruity at Carrow Rd unless things change very quickly.
I can't see Farke being here long once the crowd starts venting.

 

[Gunvald Larsson]

I don't think they will sack him anytime soon, but if the next few results are dire you never know.

Well as much as some of our elite fans like to think they run the club, they don't.

Webber will be "ignoring the noise".

Things are slightly different this season though.
Farke has mentioned more than once that the target is survival this year, he's not said that before. I've assumed it's because of all the players brought in.

Oh, are we relegated already? After 9 games? Well, I suppose it saves everybody some time...

Ah, the elite group

Dubious source, mind...

 

[Fenway Frank]

They only sacked Van Bommel yesterday, 2 and 2 equalling 5 or have they had their eyes on Farke for a while ?

Maybe "the noise" will be ignoring Webber. I think you'll find with the fact that he's leaving soon, and has been conspicuous by his absence lately, I'm not sure too many people are interested in the usual excuses.

There's a dichotomy between Farke the Championship manager and Farke the Premier League manager.
Unfortunately, some of his decisions get horribly exposed during the Premier League season.
The coaching team have invested so much into developing Farkeball, it seems that to recognise it doesn't work in the big League and to change playing style is the hardest thing in the world psychologically.
The players aren't stupid, they can see something isn't working and it's making them look like chumps, they're likely to be half hearted which exacerbates the situation even more.
Farke had 38 games in the last Premier League season to work it out, he failed to prepare properly for this season and we're hanging off the bottom, being the butt of jokes again.

Its almost like we have the manager and squad we can afford...

Leeds playing Arsenal tonight in the Cup if anyone wants to see how they're doing.

How many new players would you say Farke has bought in since he's been here?
Bearing in mind that 'we have no money'

How many would you say are genuine Premier league quality, and ready to hit the ground running?
