Although I mean it in a positive way, whereas I'm not convinced that you did. Another name that hasn't been mentioned in this thread by the way is Steve Cooper. As a complete hypothetical if Farke were to leave, he'd be in the running because he too has very close links to Webber, punched well above his weight at Swansea and actually managed to keep a tight defence.

I think I have never been more convinced that acting for the sake of action is a bad move than by this.

They have a solid Premier League team and did last season. Not exceptional, but about right for their league position. He didn't have them punching. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Big Vince 318 Posted September 18, 2021 1 hour ago, Wonarso said: I can't see Farke going anywhere this season baring the squad downing tools. Martin didn't take too long to leave Mkdons but I don't see him doing the same with Swansea so quickly. He may one day be a Norwich manager, but I can't see it within the next couple of years. As for Robins, he's doing a decent job at Coventry and has taken them up two divisions but is he really someone who would inspire here considering the level he's managed at? What happens if he gets off to a bad start? Results may have been disappointing but I can't see a change this season and assuming do put up some kind of fight I fully expect Farke to still be with us at the start of next season too. If Steve Bruce gets sacked at Newcastle........................ Russell Martin - heaven forbid! Captain Pointy Finger! He will be blaming everyone except himself as soon as things turn for the worst.

Dr Greenthumb 746 Posted September 19, 2021 8 hours ago, TeemuVanBasten said: So lets make sure we are all fully 100% sure that we want Farke out before calling for that to happen, yeah? We all know deep down that this is the manager in waiting and that talk of Eddie Howe is just silly. I don't feel like things are desperate enough to take that punt. Although I do think he'd inject more passion than Farke is at the minute, he seems to have lost his mojo. Find it again Farke, please, consider this season your one big chance to leave a lasting legacy and fight for it. I can see things getting bad enough to consider Russell Martin a good idea, but there is a long way to go before I'm calling for that. Languishing above championship relegation, we’ve done sentiment to ex players before and we know where that gets us 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Capt. Pants 4,198 Posted September 19, 2021 Frank Lampard's Norwich would go down well on MOTD and on here I suspect. For the sake of continuity I would trust Webber in making the right appointment for Farke's successor. On that basis it won't be Russell Martin. I'll be extremely worried if both leave at the same time, which if I were to bet right now, would be the end of this season. Martin's one for the future where we aren't a top 26 club.

Ken Hairy 3,760 Posted September 19, 2021 Getting Lampard would achieve one thing, we'd become much more palatable to the Premier league and as such referee's would be no longer instructed to help us back to the Championship....... 😏 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Capt. Pants 4,198 Posted September 19, 2021 We mustn't let this drift though. IF the club has genuine desire to stay in the Premier League then there's no point in waiting until next year to make change if Farke isn't producing the goods. If after 10 games (possibly even 8 ) there is no sign of improvement, and possibly still 0 points, then the decision needs to be made to either stick with Farke through thick or thin, or bring in the likes of Lampard or Howe. He seems a bit all over the place at the moment, needs results, better performances, and fast. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
