The #LUFC Breakfast Debate (Friday 28th November)

Whatever anyone thinks my view is that the board needs to back him or sack him. These constant rumours that he might be gone after the next game must be unsettling the players, both those in and out of the first team. Some might not put the effort in thinking a new man might hand them a reprieve, whilst others may be thinking a new manager might not fancy them so affecting their performances. So come out and say if he’s staying to the end of the season and we’ll back him in January or act now.

 

If Farke is sacked, does that mean he did a bad job in his 2 and a half years here?

 

That’s a great question and the answer is yes, then no and now yes again. First season was a failure with the squad and the ammo he had at his disposal. Last season he pulled it out of the fire when he realised Meslier wasn’t happening and he dropped him and tweaked tactics. 100 points was deserved and promotion well earned……

 

He has confirmed what many feared, good at coaching and finding players capable of getting a good squad out the Championship, not got what it takes for the PL.

Here is an open question. The previous season, Leicester went up with 97 points, Ipswich with 96, they scored 89 and 92 goals, Leicester lost 6 games, Ipswich 11 games.

On promotion, the Ipswich coach was interviewed or approached depending on which report you read by Man U, Chelsea, Brighton and Celtic, he chose to remain but was wanted.

Enzo the Leicester coach was scooped up by Chelsea, both coaches were wanted by better clubs.

The following season, Leeds get promoted with 100 points, we scored 95 goals, we lose only 4 games yet nobody wanted Farke, Leeds even considered replacing him.

Did club owners also agree he only did what was expected with a superior squad, why after such a points and goal haul was nobody trying to poach him. Answer is they don’t feel he is good enough
