No one thinks its as simple as keeping Farke to bounce back, do they?

I mean people in the national media who don't know much about us might do, but no one who actually watches us, surely?

assuming we carry on being as bad as we are, there's no way farke will be kept on for next season. The only question is whether you want to appoint a new manager later, so he'll have clean hands and know what the job is (ie rebuilding), or whether you hire one now, if you think there's still a possibility of turning it around this season.

And before jim or someone says that the second choice is obviously the right one, just bear in mind that it does come with a big additional risk. What do you do if the manager isn't successful in turning it around? Strongly suspect most of those demanding Farke is sacked now will also be demanding the next manager is sacked in the summer too, if we're s**t under him over the rest of this season too. Which will start getting very costly and disruptive.

  - So if the people who want farke to stay don’t think it’s a given we’ll bounce back with (NCFC) - Duck, Nov 1, 10:27:04
    - Because he might and changing manager doesn’t make it… (NCFC) - loz, Nov 1, 10:28:51

    - Did you actually read my post above? (NCFC) - jampersands, Nov 1, 10:26:48
      - Yes I did but many other people are simply saying we should keep Farke as nobody could (NCFC) - Jim, Nov 1, 10:39:08
