Opinion is slightly divided

Farke lost some respect in the dressing room when he wanted to jump ship and go to Stuttgart in January.

The refreshing of the squad will help to address any lingering loss of respect however if he is here next season. It is however still very much up in the air as to whether he is committed long term. i'm just guessing but I think he will look for another way out in the event an alternative opportunity back home arises as his family have never moved over here and to be away from your family for several years must be draining on a personal level.

its a tricky one for players (and even for some fans i guess) to fully buy into the long term project we are told about by the board when you have a manager who has already tried to jump ship and you have a Sporting Director who is all powerful at the football club but who openly says he is leaving at the end of his contract as he is only passing through.

Never a dull moment at NCFC. lets see what the future holds. OTBC

  - How do you know he WANTED to jump ship back to Germany? (n/m) (NCFC) - essexcanaryOTBC, Jul 31, 12:13:39
    - Thomas Hitzlsperger the Sporting Director didn't fly over to Norwich for no reason (n/m) (NCFC) - delia_s, Jul 31, 12:24:04

  - If he wanted to go, why didnt he? (n/m) (NCFC) - Azteca, Jul 31, 12:08:31
    - They appointed someone else (NCFC) - delia_s, Jul 31, 12:25:50
      - Did they appoint someone else because Farke didn't want it though? (n/m) (NCFC) - trafford_canary, Jul 31, 12:47:42
        
        i thinkit's more likely it was cost prohibitive to get him out of NCFC (n/m) (NCFC) - delia_s, Jul 31, 13:04:01
        
        That rings true. Matarazzo was a proper cheap option (NCFC) - Yellalee, Jul 31, 13:07:10
        
        It "ringing" true and being true are not the same. (n/m) (NCFC) - trafford_canary, Jul 31, 13:13:07
        
        Well, obviously... (n/m) (NCFC) - Yellalee, Jul 31, 13:17:29
  - Is that FACT, or fact? (n/m) (NCFC) - jamesward, Jul 31, 11:03:39
    - Seems to be the new fact based on rumour being repeated again and again (NCFC) - Azteca, Jul 31, 12:09:38
      - trust me its true... Thomas Hitzlsperger wasn't in Norwich for a holiday in January (n/m) (NCFC) - delia_s, Jul 31, 12:26:51
        
        The time lines don't really follow for me. Pellegrino Matarazzo became permanent VfB boss (NCFC) - Yellalee, Jul 31, 12:35:13
        
        Apologies might have been late December rather than early January. (NCFC) - delia_s, Jul 31, 12:38:51
        
        HA. Maybe it's more to do with Webber tapping him up for successor? (n/m) (NCFC) - trafford_canary, Jul 31, 12:52:09
        
        No chance... (NCFC) - Yellalee, Jul 31, 12:56:16
        
        I meant that Webber is planning his own successor (n/m) (NCFC) - trafford_canary, Jul 31, 13:16:34
        
        Ah I see. (n/m) (NCFC) - Yellalee, Jul 31, 13:21:56
        
        strangely he's been on Stuttgart's radar for a while it would appear (NCFC) - delia_s, Jul 31, 13:06:56
- Yeah I thought the article was great. (NCFC) - trafford_canary, Jul 31, 10:40:12
- To my recollection (NCFC) - Cardiff Canary, Jul 31, 10:33:44
  - What did Mo say? Was it the post to Emi or something about being wrong? (n/m) (NCFC) - essexcanaryOTBC, Jul 31, 12:15:17
    - Yeah, I was thinking of the twitter thing you mention (NCFC) - Cardiff Canary, Jul 31, 13:49:44

  - Many footballers have big mouths. If they want to say something, they will. (NCFC) - tim berry, Jul 31, 09:42:19
    - That was a joke off the record to a snakey Sky reporter (NCFC) - jamesward, Jul 31, 09:51:31
      - I know that but footballers aren’t always very media savvy. (NCFC) - tim berry, Jul 31, 10:26:27

  - Indeed but he would be need to go out of his away to be so glowing ... (NCFC) - loz, Jul 31, 09:11:14
    - Could help him secure his dream move away (NCFC) - SCC 28, Jul 31, 10:27:53
    - reverse psychology... I dont know (NCFC) - ghostof barry butler, Jul 31, 09:33:09
      - He sits in there though, maybe he has more insight than we do perhaps? (n/m) (NCFC) - essexcanaryOTBC, Jul 31, 09:44:48
- So he hasn’t lost the changing room then? That’s good. Phew (n/m) (NCFC) - essexcanaryOTBC, Jul 31, 09:04:05
