Indy 3,297 Posted November 12, 2021 13 minutes ago, Mullet said: So because Smith only became available after Farke was sacked we aren't allowed to consider him? Exactly, so who was our number 1 target to keep us up? Wasn’t Smith……Webber stated we needed someone better, sorry but Smith is not in the same league as Farke! Farke got us promoted on a shoestring budget, relegated without a budget and got us back up first time…..Smith bought Buendia and he looks lost in that Villa side! I don’t want Smith he’s worse than Lampard, both not what is needed right now! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mullet 293 Posted November 12, 2021 28 minutes ago, ricardo said: I said at the time that sacking Farke was a knee jerk reaction but it runs a poor second to this one. It smacks of desperation. Yes Farke only amassed 2 points in 10 games this season conceding 21 goals, and he lost the last 10 games of the 19/20 season without any fight at all, but the decision to sack him was a little hasty Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not wrong at all you plonker, we’d all love world peace wouldn’t we? But we’ve no idea how to achieve it. wtf am I expecting? Since you asked so eloquently, I was expecting (and still hoping for) Webber to have found us an upgrade on Farke. Somebody that can continue the philosophy, in the same vein as the previous regime, somebody, importantly, whose career path is following an upward trajectory. Somebody who would unite, inspire and rejuvenate us fans. Somebody who hasn’t only got a marginally better track record than the guy we just ousted despite having resources at his disposal that we could only dream of.
