Who Comes Next?

Talking of Farke...why the fuss? If he's such a great manager then why was his next job after Norwich for a Russian club I've never heard of?

jrperry1882 any idea?

Yes, if MK Dons choke does that make Mannings appointment more likely or less likely?

So we tried stability and that didn't work. Now we're going back to chaos. Great!

Some of it was timing. He took the job in January, so quite soon after his sacking at Norwich which limits where he could have gone. It should also be remembered that Norwich came extremely close to sacking him the year before they got promoted the first time under him, so the idea he is a ‘messiah’ is something of a fallacy. It does help that he had Pukki’s goals, but their full-backs, Aarons and Lewis were huge in that first promotion. Financial prudence meant they didn’t need to sell in the second, and the Championship is now a weaker division than it was 10 years ago too.

Krasnodar, mid table Russian team, had a spell in Europe a little while ago, 2013 maybe? Vague memories of Djibril Cissé being there, but that could be wrong, he has been everywhere else 😅 They’ve been relatively good for a little while though, and they fare pretty well in Russia, and I’ve a feeling they played Chelsea in the Champions League a few years ago? They have lost a lot of their best players through age and obviously events in Ukraine. But I wouldn’t say it’s a weird move for Farke to have taken. But I accept it’s a surprise to go from a England to Russia and not get interest from Western Europe.

I think it is a two horse race now; Manning and Rowberry the only candidates. Whichever one they get, my gut still tells me that we’ll end up with Warnock back in as caretaker to get us out of a relegation fight after Xmas

I have to say it has crossed my mind that Les has been in his job for 8 years now I think and at what point does his job get called into question?

We've had 5 different managers under 1 director of football. Considering Les is responsible for a lot more than the 'manager' and seems to dictate a lot of signings and contracts and decisions... why does he seem to live in an ivory tower?
