I think what is interesting is that many people see no downside to having kept Farke

I love Farke and what he did here but the guy has one of the worst all time Premier league records.

The Leeds game, which led to the decision - was a terrible performance. Brentford was a lucky win.

There were clearly behind the scences issues (Cantwell) and senior players were apparently asked for their views on whether he could turn it round.

Yet for many there is a sense that if he stayed everything would be OK. I don't really understand that logic.
