king canary 7,624 Posted November 6, 2021 I was calling for his head but the timing is all over the place. I think its more than just results though. I wonder how much the Cantwell situation factors in to it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Making Plans 936 Posted November 6, 2021 There is never a good time to sack anyone but in the interest of the Club as a whole it had to be done. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sussexyellow 55 Posted November 6, 2021 Will not be Warnock, his interview after today’s match was very much a retirement one. Talking about his 1600 games in charge and that he did not think it would ever be beaten. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Against Yeovil in the League Cup, with the club at its lowest ebb in the football pyramid and a manager with no managerial record with us.

I doubt very much that any prospective manager would be affected by this. I would think someone is already lined up, the deal agreed this morning and so Farke is on his way.

kick it off 1,952 Posted November 6, 2021 **** way to treat him. If it's Pulis, Warnock or Allardyce or anyone who plays similar "football" then I'm done.

Duncan Edwards 2,245 Posted November 6, 2021 I'm disappointed for Daniel, he's been a breath of fresh air really, a different type of manager and one that will leave us with some fantastic memories. I'm not sure that the timing is that much of a surprise, the club now have a clear fortnight that they can devote to the recruitment and integration of the next guy. Let's be honest, that's going to be more difficult than the sacking of Farke. If they don't get that right then the dismissal and associated costs will have been wasted. In some ways I'm glad that he got to go out on a "high", we got that win, the monkey was off his back and he got that one last hurrah with our jubilant fans; fans that have - for the most part - shown huge amounts of faith and trust in him and his methodology. The biggest sadness for me is that we didn't get to enjoy last season with him, in person, at the grounds. It was a remarkable season that he delivered and we were denied the chance to properly experience it. Had we have been able to do so, perhaps the bond between Farke and the fans would have been even stronger and just perhaps that might have bought him a few more games goodwill. Some might (do) think that's the worst thing that could have happened and that he should have gone sooner, too. But, ultimately, it's done. He leaves me with far more good memories than bad and if the next guy is a step up on Daniel Farke, I reckon we'll be doing ok. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

littleyellowbirdie 2,562 Posted November 6, 2021 The game was not live on RMC Sport here in France so I'm just watching it now. Very interesting to do so in light of what has been announced, because the camera cut to Delia at about 22 minutes when we're 1-0 up and she was looking very glum.

Petriix 2,847 Posted November 6, 2021 27 minutes ago, Indy said: Majority of us weren’t, we see the bigger picture and two promotions for me keeps him here. We won’t stay up even with Klopp in charge! Exactly. There's a bizarre tendency for people to conflate what *some* people think with what *everyone* thinks. I was really disappointed with how Farke had abandoned the system under which he achieved his success, but I never imagined sacking him; it seems especially odd having recently given him a 4 year contract. If the next manager is a regressive, middle-aged dinosaur of the Pullis, Wilder or (dare I say) Colin mould then I'll be returning my season ticket. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NorthCarolinaYellow 197 Posted November 6, 2021 Wow! Holy sh*t. Stunning news. But ... I say bravo to Stuart Webber. We simply have not been good enough. We needed a bold decision to take us in a new direction and this is it. I 100% appreciate the ruthlessness. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NorthCarolinaYellow 197 Posted November 6, 2021 Fact: 99% of clubs would have sacked him midway through his last PL season. We were very generous and supportive. I can simultaneously be extremely grateful for all that he accomplished and also be happy we're moving on. It's a brutal business. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
