Farke off to Leeds

[aytonstrummer]

Looks like the ex norwich boss is taking over at Leeds.

Very underwhelming if true. Don’t think we have too much to worry about there.

Hernandez and Pukki incoming?

When I read the post title my first thought was that those Scott rumours were true.

Hernandez and Pukki incoming?

Sure I'd seen Pukki has gone to somewhere in the MLS.

Fully agree, Leeds can Farke off

The guy has won this division twice in three attempts; that's not to be sniffed at. Played good football at the time too, and he's only 46 so it's not like it has to be a short term appointment.

However, he has yet to do it in a different environment.

Leeds fans will probably focus on his inability to cut it in the PL, but who could they realistically have gotten who was better?

or in Germany.

I sniff at him, and his past achievements

Shame, quite like Farke, and we don't want the likes of Leeds bringing Albert Park down, even if it's for just one morning.

Has won the Championship before. Sounds like a good appointment to me.

His Prem' record was not great but the reason for that is the way that Norwich tried to build up to a long term success in a different way than most other clubs. It didn't work, but that is not just down to the manager.

 

[newyddion]

I quite like Farke

Huge difference doing it at moderate expectation Norwich and Leeds where the fans excited etc to win 46 league games next year

He always looks like he stinks to me.
Glad he's gone to Leeds.

Reasonable choice for the Championship. but not as good as the Argie bucket guy they had a few years ago.

or in Germany.

Bit harsh? 1 season managing and he took a team that finished 10th the season before to a 10th placed finish.
A 0-0 draw sort of an achievement, but not a failure.

Not really - he was taken on to ensure they got back into Europe after a slide over the last year or 2.

At the winter break they were close to a Europa spot, and then a pretty poor/ inconsistent remainder of the season saw them fall away.

He basically failed in 12 months. They wanted Europe and he struggled to even maintain from the season before (which the board wasnt happy with anyway)

I will settle for that, he can take Leeds from 2nd bottom last season to 2nd bottom this season
