Names that we've - apparently - spoken to:

Giovanni van Bronckhurst (out of work, ex-Rangers)
Roger Schmidt (out of work, ex-Benfica, PSV etc)
Davide Ancelloti (currently assistant to dad at Real Madrid)

^^^

None of those 3 names are even
remotely worth sacking Farke for.

-------------------------

Agree Bats.. I think I'm in the camp of sacking Farke but it will have to be somebody the owners really thought can push us on.

we'd have to back him, who ever it is..

if its Farke, then fair enough, but I want our owners to want Farke in and think he could do a great job in the premier league..

no more sentiment, no jobs for the boys..

Absolutely. My thoughts too, but no point in change for the sake of change.
Also no firing after ten games.

Mont, yeah I think this is where I'll take the Farke debate (after Saturday of course)..

I just don't think its wise, or simply don;t have the time to get this wrong, 10 games is 30 points, can we really afford to waste that if after the games we decide to sack Farke.

of course, no guarantees either way tbf.

I think it was wise of Marathe not to give an interview to Sky.

Because maybe, just maybe, he didn't want to take away the focus from those who have done the job; Farke and the players.

Farke has brought a unity among the players, and they obviously trust him.

Marathe probably already has given his gratulations and there's no need to do it over and over, just because of cameras and fans.

I think he let them have their moment on the pitch. Which was the right thing to do.

Farke never had a chance with Norwich in the PL. No backings. No investments to speak of.

Yes, we all had questions during the campaign; players, system, Mes, etc, etc.

However heading for 100 points and maybe champions says it all; he's been more right than wrong.

Keep him. He really deserves it.

People keep saying Norwich didn't back him, fair enough, although they did spend 38 mil in there second stint so I read. Brentford, Bournemouth, Villa Brighton didn't exactly go in there and throw money at it. There footballing philosophy and recruitment worked well in there, Farke's at Norwich clearly didn't. The teams mentioned kept the bulk of there promoted sides and even today still have a handful of them playing and doing well.

Farke just might to better this time with a much better side, but we've made hard work of championship games in his tenure, especially away from home, what are we going to do against better teams away from home? Will we adapt to teams taking games to us instead of rolling over? Farke won't have the best player in EVERY position next season, so something will have to give.

I think we're better than all three of last season's promoted three, but we need to find an extra 17 pts from somewhere.

Germany, Farke has already had his chance,got too much wrong and too often struggled to beat inferior opposition.

His record at Norwich is irrelevant to me, completely different circumstances. Has got too much wrong in the last 2 seasons. However just maybe he will be a brilliant PL manager if not sacked, incredibly unlikely but possible.
Here's a question,would any PL club want to poach Farke ? Obviously no,that says it all

You’re very good at answering your own questions,
keep it going!

Like I said Promotion, the argument isn't going to go away because Mr Right,(yourself!)wants to push it to his way of thinking, even though he is ignoring the fact that Farke has won "Promotion" and has broke the odd record on the way, but he's so much a dumbass that if he goes up as champion some here won't see it, will you?..

A waste of time trying to discuss or even fight it out with you, because you'll let us know you're Mr Right and it will never end!..

Promotion makes a valid argument and I am sure if someone like Thomas Frank or Jurgen Klopp became available, I know who I would choose. However, I haven't heard of any outstanding candidates for the job yet. My concern is the way this situation has arisen. I can only assume that someone in the club has deliberately leaked information to pave the way for succession. And this is Leeds. Just like the dismissal of Bielsa, the process is so undignified and ugly. Farke, like Bielsa, deserves better.
The fact that we are looking at no-name candidates, if true, suggests that top coaches are steering clear of us, for good reason.
