Opinion is slightly divided

Farke lost some respect in the dressing room when he wanted to jump ship and go to Stuttgart in January.

The refreshing of the squad will help to address any lingering loss of respect however if he is here next season. It is however still very much up in the air as to whether he is committed long term. i'm just guessing but I think he will look for another way out in the event an alternative opportunity back home arises as his family have never moved over here and to be away from your family for several years must be draining on a personal level.

its a tricky one for players (and even for some fans i guess) to fully buy into the long term project we are told about by the board when you have a manager who has already tried to jump ship and you have a Sporting Director who is all powerful at the football club but who openly says he is leaving at the end of his contract as he is only passing through.

Never a dull moment at NCFC. lets see what the future holds. OTBC
