TeemuVanBasten 3,328 Posted September 18, 2021 The number who want him out seem high at the moment, thought a poll might give a more accurate reflection. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ken Hairy 4,205 Posted September 18, 2021 Undecided, but only really because I like him. If this was Hughton, Roeder etc etc I'd be screaming for his head from the rooftops. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lake district canary 4,716 Posted September 18, 2021 Ridiculous. No reason to sack him whatsoever, not even a question that should be asked, but if anything, he needs time to get the best out of the new players. 7 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kenfoggo 258 Posted September 18, 2021 Under what circumstances will this Club dispose of Farke’s services? It has been 15 straight Premiership defeats under his control! FIFTEEN straight Premiership defeats. What other Club would entertain that as an acceptable performance? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'll ask whatever question I want, you absolute forum fascist. . I'll act how I want at games too whilst I'm at it. In case you didn't notice, i voted for "No, he deserves more time", but opposing views are just as valid as mine, because unlike you I don't think I'm some sort of god-like all-seeing super genius, now go and play with your silly hat collection. Edited September 18, 2021 by TeemuVanBasten 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kenfoggo 258 Posted September 18, 2021 Not judging Farke on his Championship ability. He HAS to be judged on his ability as a Premiership head coach. That is the division that we are competing in., The Premiership. 15 straight defeats. Simply not acceptable. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hank shoots Skyler 2,094 Posted September 18, 2021 Not close to enough time yet for me. I can take us going down under Farke but with the caveat that we are at least vaguely competitive (I.e. like what we saw 2 years ago prior to the last 10 games). If we continue performing haplessly as we did today, then I can’t see him lasting 7-8 more losses, maybe even less. But I really really don’t want to see it come to that. I also don’t think it will, Kabak and Normann are only now into the side, let’s see how they can improve us when given a little time to integrate and find themselves. Because of this, I genuinely don’t think we will perform worse than today for the rest of the season, though we certainly have set the bar quite low today…. It was always going to be a ****e start losing our 2 best players and bringing in 9 new ones. Problem is we don’t have time to bed in and rotate, we need results ASAP. Farke has to find a winning formula soon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Funny how that is slightly different to actually losing 15 games in a row, isn't it? Still really weird how desperate some of our fans are to put two seasons together, not only that but two seasons with a season in between them ffs! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

To be fair, he's right. 33 games isn't a huge amount of time when you need to find ten wins. He needs to find a system that gets them as soon as possible.

GJL Mid-Norfolk Canary 2,025 Posted September 18, 2021 Just cant see that he has the nous to organize the team in such a different way so as to give us a better chance of grinding out points at this level. My heart says to give him more time.....my head says that I just cant see him turning it around and as each game goes by it just makes the task harder for the next man. I'm going to say give him another couple of games...but thats the absolute latest we can leave it before making a change Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Â I wasn't saying you should've waited, I was merely pointing out that the 'Farke Out' votes would be higher in the immediate aftermath of a defeat, which surely you must acknowledge is true.

Yes, football fans are fickle. I did one of these polls once before when it was about 50/50, and then we got promoted. It is the same with political polling, Tories dropped hugely just after a tax increase. It is still interesting, already we see that those who want him sacked are in a minority.

Tetteys Jig 847 Posted September 18, 2021 voted no as I think our problems potentially run much deeper. He deserves the first dozen or so games to see whether his recruitment shows any life after we effectively had no pre season. I don't really see any managers out there that will improve our chances of staying up significantly so you're employing someone to prepare for a season back in the championship if you switch now Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Highland Canary 78 Posted September 18, 2021 Farke isn’t the problem. He is a genius to have achieved so much with so little.  It is simply the quality of the players which is being found out again. That goes to the board. Our so-called model is fundamentally incompatible with running a competitive PL team. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's like the captain of the titanic saying be patient we need more time and giving everyone a cullender to bail out water. Its only September and we've had it mate lets not delude ourselves.
