I'm sure it's a mix of the lot

I don't like projecting onto the unknown because it's all guesswork but from the outside looking in I see so many parallels between what seems to be happening with Todd and how I was in my last job.

Wanting to be elsewhere, previously good relationships souring, motivation and performances dropping, so fuelling the damage to relationships which fuelled the desire to be elsewhere which fuelled poor motivation etc etc. All a vicious circle. Throw in some personal difficulties and depression to speed up the downward spirals. No one's fault really, just one of those things that happens from time to time.

Farke reminds me of my boss at the time too - nice guy when you're on side, bit of a khunt if you're not.

I'd hoped Smith coming in might have led to a fresh start for all concerned but it seems not. Maybe the drop to the champs might lead to more playing opportunities for him. There's still a good player in there and the Todd of last season still has a role here.

What do we reckon Wrathers, will Cantwell move on this window? (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Jan 27, 10:06:32

  - Was Gunn really £5m plus add ons? (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Jan 27, 14:36:35
    - It’s £2.5m with add ons to £5m. Performance add one potentially upto £10m (NCFC) - Southampton Rob, Jan 27, 17:36:57
  - In theory, yes, but that comparison doesn't really work at all (NCFC) - Cardiff Canary, Jan 27, 13:53:20
    - Yeah all good points (NCFC) - Southampton Rob, Jan 27, 17:40:04

- We should obviously cash in on Jan prices if we can (NCFC) - Old Man, Jan 27, 10:17:36
  - Don't really agree with this (NCFC) - ParrotPuncher, Jan 27, 10:29:05
    - I don’t think he’d be anywhere near the Leicester or West Ham sides (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Jan 27, 10:40:42
      - Not saying he's a starter for them at the minute (NCFC) - ParrotPuncher, Jan 27, 10:52:38
        
        I don't disagree with that (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Jan 27, 11:02:13
        
        Brighton my be a decent option for him (NCFC) - ParrotPuncher, Jan 27, 11:15:27
  - There was talk of £30m, but more in the context of that’s what we would want (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Jan 27, 10:28:39
    - Don't disagree (n/m) (NCFC) - Old Man, Jan 27, 10:29:57
- can't see who in the Prem buys him (NCFC) - CWC, Jan 27, 10:14:49
  - Yes, that’s my thinking too. Not sure he’ll get a PL move in the summer either though (n/m) (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Jan 27, 10:27:06
    - no convinced he finds a top championship club either tbh (NCFC) - CWC, Jan 27, 10:51:40
      - Farke was a perfect coach for him so odd they fell out (n/m) (NCFC) - loz, Jan 27, 10:52:46
        
        Did they? Some huge assumptions being made, not just here but this whole thread... (NCFC) - Pixelman, Jan 27, 11:04:26
        
        I'm sure it's a mix of the lot (NCFC) - CWC, Jan 27, 12:48:52
        
        ^^ Diva ^^ (n/m) (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Jan 27, 14:37:14
        
        I think it goes without saying that we all hope it is not because of personal issues (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Jan 27, 11:20:10
        
        Cantwell’s tweet when Farke left … (NCFC) - loz, Jan 27, 11:26:24
        
        Oh yes! I forgot about that, it was then edited wasn't it? (n/m) (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Jan 27, 11:28:08
        
        Yep (n/m) (NCFC) - loz, Jan 27, 11:38:15
        
        Yes, absent Farke being here, he'd probably have gone to a lower league club (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Jan 27, 11:00:35
- Either way we’d get the extra year to kick in … (NCFC) - loz, Jan 27, 10:14:10
  - Obviously. My 6 months point was on the assumption if he doesn’t leave now he goes then (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Jan 27, 10:24:16
