Daniel Farke to Leicester City?

[Guest Bilo]

Took two bites of the cherry to get promoted despite having Gray, Sinisterra, Piroe, Rutter, Summerville, James, Gnonto and Djed Spence for all or part of that time. 

 

A better manager in charge of that team gets them promoted at the first time of asking with 100 points.

 

Not for me.

[deep blue]

Chocolate oaties for me.   Oops, are we back to managers?

Only if RVN goes the other way and completely ruins Leeds.

Hobnobs for me.

[Fox92]

Wouldn't be looking into the future as there is no doubt he gets us promoted but the issue is then staying in the Premier League, which Norwich experienced under him twice. From that point of view I understand why Leeds would consider getting rid of him.

Danny is out of contract

There’s a new four year contract in the pipeline - apparently.

I think we need to draw a distinction between a "proper" biscuit, best suited for dunking, and the higher end biscuits which are more of a snack to he had alongside a cup of tea. 

 

I would initially propose that for anything to be considered a "proper" biscuit, it can only be covered in chocolate on one side. Any advances.......

 

We need to know what we're aiming to achieve and have our selection criteria locked down before we go too far (this line can be used for both conversations)

Noooooo....farke off

[kingfox]

So many underwhelming possibilities and I’d put Farke in that bracket too if he left. 
 

But…I’d prefer him over someone like Martin or Dyche. 
 

Watched Leeds against Bristol City last night, the intensity they played at was a magnificent watch, plus the way their wingers played when they hit Bristol City on transition, I instantly thought that the likes of Mavididi and Fatawu could be absolutely lethal in a Farke setup. 

[NAKC20]

Why dont we just kill 2 birds with 1 stone on this thread and get Rich-Tea Wellens as manager?

Yep. Farke would be underwhelming, but I'd take him in a heartbeat over Martin or Dyche.

Yes, we learnt young Enzo was gone the moment something else came up, Young Ruud is the worst manager in EPL history and that Forest's manager is older than Farke.

 

So what was that about young again?

 

I would say more like we learnt giving managers their first or second job is a bad idea.

Alright, Enzo came with lots of experience and may the club didn't try hard enough to keep him. Or maybe the 10 million compensation helped with the PSR. You can never legislate for that happening. 

The next Pep is out there . You just have to find him. Work with him and treat him right.

If he is the right man then the rest pretty much takes care of itself.

[ALC Fox]

I'd take Farke if he were sacked.

 

Proven at Championship level and plays exciting football.

 

Whether he's good enough for the Prem is kind of irrelevant as we're likely to be in the Championship for a couple of seasons or more anyway because of potential EFL penalties and because we need a massive overhaul.

 

Also, if he gets us up at some point, he'd surely be motivated to prove Leeds wrong if they do sack him.

[RowlattsFox]

Would definitely accept him but you just know he's due a championship failure and inevitably it will be with us

 

Similar to when Scott Parker was linked, vast majority were against the idea despite his record at this level.

I think this would be about as safe of a bet as we could go for. Obviously there are some question marks but overall he’s done pretty well. 
 

Im surprised the verdicts on him are so harsh on his prem experience considering it would have been a huge achievement for Norwich to stay up and at least he pulled off a win against man city, that’s more than anyone has done at any of the 3 promoted sides this season. 

[jayfox26]

Think I'd rather have Dyche than Farke. I don't rate Farke at all and he failed massively last season not getting promoted with the squad they had. 

[Muzzy_no7]

Very likely Leeds will be sensible and not actually sack him. 
 

More likely to do what Chelsea or Benfica did with Potter and Schmidt. 

[FoxinNotts]

We need a manager to get us promoted again. This guy would fit the bill. Fact. 
 

Let’s take each bridge as we come to it. Long term planning is pointless in Top end football, when it comes to managers. You need a manager in for the specific job in hand, which you have in front of you.

 

Leeds (if they do get rid of Farke) will show this is the correct way of approaching it.

[sdb]

He'd be better than our current and previous manager. 

 

To be honest, I've so little faith in our club that I'd take someone like Farke, who is a decent championship manager. 

[whoareyaaa]

Probably be a better fit than Dyche and no way we should be thinking of getting Martin so I would be happy with Farke ifs that’s who we end up with.

That is a low bar.
