Pretty much how I feel

Was pleased when we managed to piece a run of results under him, but never fully felt that Farke was the busted flush he'd been painted.

Hard to tell if he's the kind of coach that can mould a squad. It'd be nice if he could.

I remain bemused that the shortlist, whatever it was, was torn up when Dean Smith became available, so you'd presume that his short, medium and long term plans in the interview sounded good.

Remains hard to see him as an upgrade on what we had.

I think the squad could do okay in the champs, my main disappointment this year has been with the loan players, who I don't think are an upgrade on who we have already on the books. (Williams seems to be coming good, but I do like Dimi)
