    So what if he’s a chairman’s favourite. Our chairman knows nothing about football or players so that shouldn’t have even been mentioned

    Just posting what he said mate.

    He did say club and chairman not club and coach, nobody is perfect owner, coach, they all will make mistakes

    It just screams out that the chairman feels there is a possibility that Farke might not be here by the time the loan spell concludes.

    I personally hope he is, as the only way for Farke to still be here in January is if we are not in a relegation spot or at least three points clear of it

    I know. I’m old world and believe the suits have one job and that’s to provide and organise finances. Manager and coaching staff should have all contact with players.of course I’m sure that’s not how it is anymore as with everything else. Soon agents will also have a say in picking playing squads, maybe they already have

    I guess they do to an extent, loan clauses stating they must play X amount of games and I remember rumours in the past that we dropped certain players in order not to trigger an appearance bonus

    Cellino whilst an owner and not an agent certainly picked a few players and put pressure on who should be starting

    Agree, for me I’m beginning to wonder whether there is a growing divide between the club (chairman and recruitment team) and Farke. Rumours were circulating that he never wanted Schmidt, barely played him and he’s now gone. DF not sure about Joseph, though gave him his chance that he never took in my opinion, and openly spoke out about the need for more offensive players that weren’t delivered on.
    Richard Keys reported that he knew for a fact Jose was offered the job in the summer, which he turned down (thankfully). Pressure is on Farke to win, particularly with Nuno now available.
