It’ll be 6 of one, half dozen of the other

Farke seems to have a ‘my way or the highway’ approach.

probably not a great combination.

        Sorry just re read your comment … (NCFC) - loz, Nov 3, 19:33:19
        
        If you think that’s what farke has done and why, I can’t help you (n/m) (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Nov 3, 19:22:37

    - Todd Cantwell is Todd Cantwell (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Nov 3, 17:21:46

        Indeed. (n/m) (NCFC) - jamesward, Nov 3, 16:54:18

        It's never been in question that it's more than fitness, has it? (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Nov 3, 16:25:51

        Fair enough, I've not read it (n/m) (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Nov 3, 16:30:47
        
        The attitude is around his willingness to train every day … (NCFC) - loz, Nov 3, 16:29:49
        
        does Farke want people to train through minor injuries and risk aggravating them then? (NCFC) - CWC, Nov 3, 16:43:58
        
        There must have been some kind of falling out (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Nov 3, 16:50:12

        If that's the case, the insinuation must be.... (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Nov 3, 16:40:38
        
        Yeah, it may be that Todd's being a fuckwit (NCFC) - jamesward, Nov 3, 16:43:16
        
        Agreed - can't be fitness (n/m) (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Nov 3, 16:43:55

        Well suspect there is more to it than meets the eye but… (NCFC) - loz, Nov 3, 16:40:53
        
        Yes. Which is all I said all along but you love to argue (n/m) (NCFC) - jamesward, Nov 3, 16:43:47
        
        I don't think jamesward is saying anything contrary to that (n/m) (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Nov 3, 16:43:17
        
        👍 (n/m) (NCFC) - loz, Nov 3, 17:54:53
