Assuming the obvious happens and we go down who do you want ?.
I don't particularly want BFSA as manager, that prospect doesn't inspire or excite me at all.
I would like Potter to come in but I doubt he would drop down a league.
I actually think it will be somebody we have heard of this time, not a punt.
Sounds like there will be no DOF.just hope the board give Farke time and back him.we should have never sacked Bielsa imo,even if he took us down 2 seasons ago.I like what Radz did for the club but the fact that we went from Bielsa to Fat Sam in under 18 months showed how badly the club was being run ..
So on the Daniel Farke appointment. Kind of like the appointment as I liked what he was just starting to develop at my German club prior to his removal given he had a few main stay or key players injured.
Think young players like Cresswell, Dremah, Joseph, Summerville, Gnonto, Gyabi, and Perkins could do very well under him. Actually think Greenwood could be a dark horse for most improved player if played just behind the striker in the Farke system.
Players like Wober, Sinisterra, Harrison and Adams would also fit nicely into his style. Believe or not but even Firpo could fit as he would act as pure wing back and his overlapping runs is perfect for the system.
My worry is that with our clubs tendency to not sideling good guys the squad dynamics maybe upset. In our first preseason game if Dremah is available and is not starting in front of Ayling then he will go. The same for Cresswell and Joseph as all 3 are in very high demand.
I will say it here and now. It will take until at least the 15th game of championship until we start see anything like Farke real style. 15 to 20 games it normally takes to bed in his ideas and depending on fitness levels it could be faster.
Well it's taken a lot longer than we wanted for the "news" to break, but now it's official all good for me.
If he's happy the club are aligned top to bottom then all we can do now is support him, be patient and let him do what needs to be done.
Good appointment for me.
I'm glad we got Farke and not Gerrard or Viera.out of all managers rumoured to be in the running Farke and Corberan would have been my 2 picks.He won the championship twice with Norwich on less of a budget than we should have but it's a big step up in pressure/expectations.its going to be a busy few weeks.have we announced DOF yet? ..
Farkes first interview
Lets hope it is not Farke off in 5 games time. Most other Championship clubs have had their full squad back for 10 days and have 5/6 preseason games planned.
We are 2 weeks behind them with only 3 preseason games announced.
Lots of outgoing too occur in the next 2/3 weeks - something like 10-14
I have looked at Norwich's 57 signings under Farke and 50+ were misses. So I hope Hammond improves the hit rate. However, Norwich were shopping in the corner shop, we could shop in M&S which makes a difference.
I just hope he is not like Uwe, promising heavy metal football but delivering poor classical music.
As MC said "managers are like watermelons..."
Morning Lord Snodds---evening to you----we can finally get going now with Farke and get rid of the dross that brought us down-promote the young talent we have and sign players WHO REALLY WANT TO WEAR THE SHIRT and boucey back to premier land---😉 PS--I am very happy with appointment
I'm happy with the choice, good luck to him.
He knows the league inside out but will have to do it with the added pressure of it being leeds.
About farking time ffs-🙄
Farke now announced. Going to be an interesting few weeks now
48hr later takeover completed; Farke sacked as not a Yank knowing our way of doing things 😝
Terms agreed; training to start Wed - all go even if take over isn't done 1st
Farke to be announced tomorrow; 04:07 (source Phil Hay)
I had 3 divorces that took less time than this FFS-FARKING GET ON WITH IT😠
Didn't want Farke at first but definitely coming round to him but some on here did.... maybe cause we're running out of options again!
The crap rumours though are that everything is going through and even transfers are happening behind the scenes and just awaiting official confirmation of new ownership.
He does know how to get a team out of the Championship with fast paced pressing football though.... just like his fellow German Uwe Rosler promised! 🙈🤔😲🤬
It looks like it is Farke. He has been given a tour of ER, TA and met the medical and fitness teams.
Cannot see why we are waiting for takeover to be confirmed before announcing. 49ers own 44% of LUFC and only need to get ARs agreement for the appointment. They do not have to wait for him to be gone.
For Farkes sake hurry up Leeds
Farke has to be the best choice for us--hes won it twice and knows the league and with a substantial war chest given to him we should bolt in-😎
Yes-i have been smoking-👀
Hope it's not Viera,he's bang average.Corberan or Farke for me,although it sounds like 69ers want to appoint an out of work manager so that rules out CC ..
2 new candidates thrown into the ring which could delay things.
