Scott Parker would just get us promoted and take us down again.....Farke becomes available and folk think he's any different 

Literally thought this when I saw the Farke recommendation

There's a vast difference between the two.

 

Parker has always just done enough to go up with good squads - not a huge criticism, sometimes doing enough is all that's needed. He's also proven himself to be a Rodgers style petulant man child when the going gets tough.

 

Farke's Norwich dominated really good Championships playing incredible football, and then he stuck it out in shit circumstances in the PL. Telling that during those seasons in the prem, Norwich fans never massively turned on him.

I don't want either, however if Parker had of stayed on at Bournemouth with hardly any investment and took them down he wouldn't get the same leniency on here. Farke spent almost 3 times as much as Parker last time Norwich went up, perhaps if Parker had spent the same amount he wouldn't have had anything to complain about. Again I'd prefer neither of them though.

Darren Ferguson, so he can get a 5th spell with Peterborough 😂

I mean, not true from what I can find online but I'm getting dangerously close to being pedantic.

 

I'm also coming across as a huge Farke fan boy which I'm not.

 

Potter in please 🤣

Potter is just a smoke screen for Phil Neville

 

But seriously, why would Potter risk coming here and further damaging his reputation? There's a lot of work to do and he'll be expected to take us up even though he may have half a team by August.

Depends if he is still sought after since the Chelsea debacle. I always felt he was not the type for a big club, at least at this point.

 

If not, then Leicester could be a way back into the big time for him. I wanted him here a couple of years ago and I would have him here now, 100%. Think he could be a great fit at this time for what we need.

Not Potter... please - Although typical Rudkin, just wants his teams to play tippy tappy coached crap

[fox_favourite]

Let's end this argument once and for all. NO to Parker and NO to Farke. 

 

Look at ma face, am I bothered who is best, yeah? Look at ma face! Bothered! 

 

There, said it! Moving on.

Literally peoples issue with Parker though

they aren’t even remotely similar. One built from the ground up and integrated youth. The other inherited premier league squads that had very little refreshing needed. Parker did better than expected but I think any half respectable manager gets the same result: 

 

I hope our owners can differentiate between the 2 jobs more than our fans.

I just want to hear something, anything from the club, we haven’t got time on our side to get everything sorted. Even just releasing list of players who wi t be retained or out of contract would be a start.

We know the list of players who are out of contract at the end of June 

all others first team squad players are retained 

 

happy now ?

They're utterly toxic and will be getting a fine and deduction from the PL very soon, then a class action lawsuit from us I hope. 

Whilst no one will disagree with you about the toxicity , the post you were responding to was incorrect about dyche

Farke didn't build Norwich from the ground up did he really. Ideally wouldn't have either

We know who’s out of contract but that doesn’t mean that might not have resigned a couple

when farke arrived at norwich he made 16 signings. If that’s not a rebuild than what is?!

 

 He’s not the right guy for a relegation scrap… neither would Marco Silva be.. but if we have enough quality to compete? We’d be more than happy with him

this is one of the problems of not having a coach 

I wouldn’t think we will have decided to try and renew any of them - especially as they would want a ‘s/o fee’ and won’t be happy with championship wages. we have enough problems with those players into their final year - without knowing their plans we can’t really be making calls on those OOC

 

if any of the OOC players are still without a club when our new coach arrives, it’s possible but I’d very much doubt it.

Tippy tapped Brighton to 4th before he left. Yea, he’s shit.

Looks like Moyes has the final to save his job - West Ham would be more appealing to Potter you'd think!

😂we belong in the championship with point of views like this, it’s not the 1960s… Name me a successful team in the past 5 years that doesn’t play “tippy tappy coached crap”? 

[JimmyC74]

I don’t think we can afford to delay recruiting a manager based on the outside chance Potter is genuinely interested. Maybe interested. Maybe interested if a PL club don’t come in for him.

Yeah, give me long ball uncoached crap any day.

[Pliskin]

West Ham want Rodgers apparently. Classic, according to my West Ham supporting mate.

Absolutely no mucking about or delay on this if Potter fancies it. Make him the best paid manager in the Championship and give him the keys to all areas of Seagrave if he wants it.

[Roosters boots]

Potter for me if the rumours are true. We got battered by his teams a few times and think they lacked a decent striker or his record at Brighton could have been even better. He likes to attack more than dodgers ever did. 

[Unabomber]

Does anyone actually want Parker? Would be horrible 

[Weller Wing]

Potter would be a very good appointment if we could get him.

Unlikely but its a project he might fancy after his break from the game

[dnewty]

If it’s Potter then great but whoever the manager is need’s to be done and dusted by next week.

There’s no time for messing around, if Potter dither's then move on quickly.
