playing DA: What is the 'character' that he was an integral part of?

I saw it when we were winning, not so much in the Prem seasons. It's relatively easy to do all of the stuff you list when you've got an Emi and are winning.

Take that away and replace it with losses, and it's much harder. eg Cantwell under Farke, in the end, was worth very little.

I would have Farke back given the general circumstances and short window to get Championship-ready, but feel we are in danger of eulogising someone who's not around because those who 'are' still around haven't done any better/appear to have f**ked up on many levels.
