I really don’t think managers think that far ahead

If we offered a manager a £1 million bonus for keeping us up we wouldn’t be short of applicants. Does a manager who is currently out of work really worry about Stuart Webber’s position at the club or what the likely budget will be next season? I think they’d look at the package offered, the squad and if they thought they could have a crack at staying up and that’s it

  - That's the worst thing about Farke in the Prem (NCFC) - jamesward, Oct 25, 10:47:14
    - It’s like watching our first season under Farke all over again, but against better teams (n/m) (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Oct 25, 11:57:46
- Give me one reason why you think Farke will keep us up (n/m) (NCFC) - thirsty work, Oct 25, 09:27:15
  - I don’t just don’t see changing coach will make much of a difference … (NCFC) - loz, Oct 25, 09:30:44

  - Yep. Out of work managers just want a job, in particular (NCFC) - jamesward, Oct 25, 09:29:12
    - But the chances are we wouldn’t want an out of work manager … (NCFC) - loz, Oct 25, 09:32:01
      - Why wouldn’t we want an out of work manager? (NCFC) - Duck, Oct 25, 09:35:09
        
        Because out of work managers tend to be older and over the hill.. (NCFC) - loz, Oct 25, 09:51:43
        
        Why do they have to be young and dynamic? (NCFC) - jamesward, Oct 25, 09:54:00
        
        Because to fit the self funding philosophy… (NCFC) - loz, Oct 25, 09:58:23
        
        For now, it's just about staying up imo (NCFC) - jamesward, Oct 25, 10:01:06
        
        We have 0% chance of staying up. (n/m) (NCFC) - munter, Oct 25, 10:02:17
        
        Maybe, but it would be nice to make it look like we're trying (n/m) (NCFC) - jamesward, Oct 25, 10:09:58
        
        Agree. Relegation would not surprise many but at least fight (n/m) (NCFC) - munter, Oct 25, 10:22:06
        
        Just scoring a goal would feel epic right now (n/m) (NCFC) - Ken Dodds Dads Dog, Oct 25, 10:18:09
        
        Offer Diego Martinez a £10m staying up bonus (n/m) (NCFC) - jamesward, Oct 25, 09:38:46
- I just want us to actually try and stay up by not delaying a decision (NCFC) - Jim, Oct 25, 08:27:25
- Farke has already binned the philosophy (NCFC) - SCC 28, Oct 25, 08:26:36
  - By philosophy i don’t do much mean playing style … (NCFC) - loz, Oct 25, 08:32:51
    - Farke may fall flat on his face back in the champs too (NCFC) - CWC, Oct 25, 08:44:39
      - Totally but we know he is likely to know the league … (NCFC) - loz, Oct 25, 09:09:30
        
        Yes but the presumption we go straight back up if relegated is dangerous (NCFC) - Jim, Oct 25, 09:46:41
        
        Agree but think that’s likely to be the case whoever is at the helm (n/m) (NCFC) - loz, Oct 25, 10:34:15
- I’d like to agree with you, based on Farke (NCFC) - jamesward, Oct 25, 08:21:37
  - Ps. Not Mark Robins though… (n/m) (NCFC) - jamesward, Oct 25, 08:24:03
    - Lambert with Holt as assistant (n/m) (NCFC) - SCC 28, Oct 25, 08:27:15
- I tend to agree with that. Perhaps another option is an adviser for Farke ie Hodgson. He (NCFC) - Biggles, Oct 25, 08:20:15
  - Agree - we have come into this season again without a seasoned hand (NCFC) - camcan, Oct 25, 09:01:24
    - Yup definitely need attacking play if we are up against tough opposition. It’s the best (NCFC) - Biggles, Oct 25, 10:24:07
- A lot of sense in that (NCFC) - paulg, Oct 25, 08:19:49
  - Watford and Chelsea are quite good at it but that's their model. (NCFC) - Trent_Canary, Oct 25, 09:14:41
    - In theory our set up should make it easy to change the manager whilst (NCFC) - Adster, Oct 25, 09:25:51
      - Interesting tho - I wonder if it is? (NCFC) - paulg, Oct 25, 09:42:26
