All valid points. The problem is that Farke was *so* popular

All valid points. The problem is that Farke was so popular

(with most supporters, anyway). Anyone taking over in this kind of situation has to do something special to get acceptance - Deehan and Megson after Walker being prime examples at NCFC, but look at other clubs and you see the same.

      - Your bar of 'genuine claim' doesn't really mean anything does it? (NCFC) - norwaay, Nov 13, 11:47:39
        
        He may well be (NCFC) - SCC 28, Nov 13, 11:49:42
        
        So you're suggesting there are only three who meet that criteria? (NCFC) - norwaay, Nov 13, 11:51:42
        
        But not ideal such a small pool (NCFC) - SCC 28, Nov 13, 12:00:48
        
        You've defined 'the pool', no-one else. (n/m) (NCFC) - norwaay, Nov 13, 12:02:40

      - And people also advocated Emma Hayes! (n/m) (NCFC) - SCC 28, Nov 13, 11:45:09
        
        Who had a genuine claim, then? (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Nov 13, 11:48:38
        
        No of course she didn’t lol, same with Robins (n/m) (NCFC) - SCC 28, Nov 13, 11:50:47
        
        Think you’ve misread my post! I’m asking who you think had a genuine claim? (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Nov 13, 11:51:38
        
        Of those who wanted the job (NCFC) - SCC 28, Nov 13, 11:57:40
        
        Because it wasn't working and we are appointing a manager with more experience (NCFC) - norwaay, Nov 13, 12:01:57
        
        Who wasn't available when we sacked DF (NCFC) - paulg, Nov 13, 13:43:50
        
        We’d probably have ended up with Emma Hayes otherwise tbf (n/m) (NCFC) - SCC 28, Nov 13, 13:58:21
        
        I did see a lot of Villa fans calling for Smith to go (NCFC) - jamesward, Nov 13, 12:08:50
        
        Fair. (n/m) (NCFC) - norwaay, Nov 13, 12:10:13
        
        Hopefully works out (NCFC) - SCC 28, Nov 13, 12:07:03
        
        Yep - certainly nothing is guaranteed. Fingers crossed really. (n/m) (NCFC) - norwaay, Nov 13, 12:08:19
        
        All valid points. The problem is that Farke was *so* popular (NCFC) - APB, Nov 13, 12:05:54
        
        Spot on. (NCFC) - norwaay, Nov 13, 12:09:26
        
        That's it.👌 (n/m) (NCFC) - paulg, Nov 13, 13:44:46
  - We may well have interviewed other candidates who haven't been leaked. (NCFC) - Knitted Jesus, Nov 13, 11:38:55
    - We were told the shortlist was 2 (NCFC) - SCC 28, Nov 13, 11:42:00
      - That is an entirely different point. (n/m) (NCFC) - norwaay, Nov 13, 11:43:18
        
        Mashiter saying he was third choice (NCFC) - jamesward, Nov 13, 11:47:47
        
        Would be odd if he was first choice (NCFC) - SCC 28, Nov 13, 11:52:44
        
        But again, that matters not. (NCFC) - norwaay, Nov 13, 11:48:47
        
        He might well be (n/m) (NCFC) - SCC 28, Nov 13, 11:51:40
        
        And it might be bollocks anyway (n/m) (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Nov 13, 11:49:47
        
        We interviewed people not on the shortlist? (n/m) (NCFC) - SCC 28, Nov 13, 11:47:10
  - Literally the only option? (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Nov 13, 11:37:46
    - 👌 (n/m) (NCFC) - SCC 28, Nov 13, 11:40:15
