No - Wrath of the Barclay

No

Buendia owes his career to Farke (Farke will do fine at BM).

Whole thing is a huge oversimplification and I'm damn sure Farke would have carved out a set of tactics that would work without Emi. Emi and Pukki were our standout players and so it makes sense that we moulded the team around them, but we always had other routes to win games (albeit with the space that those guys made for their teammates).

It'd be great to see Smith come good, but I think the case against Farke was always overstated and hinged in a ridiculous mash of stats that ignored the second championship winning season and didn't give him the time he deserved in the second Prem tilt (after our stupidly hard start).
