Nobody should expect another Farke

We had the most charismatic manager in the Football League for five years. Those halcyon days will never be repeated, but we now need charisma and what DF brought to the table tactically all over again.

        If you took Farke and Klopp and two ends of a scale Wagner seems slap bang in the middle (NCFC) - trafford_canary, Jan 3, 12:45:32

        interesting to note , that If David Wagner does get the job (NCFC) - ghostof barry butler, Jan 3, 11:07:51
        
        So that means it will be a 'v' on Radio Normal (n/m) (NCFC) - MonkeyPuzzle, Jan 3, 11:40:25
        
        Why would you expect it to be pronounced incorrectly? (n/m) (NCFC) - norwaay, Jan 3, 11:37:18
        
        American (step)father? (n/m) (NCFC) - paulg, Jan 3, 13:45:25
        
        No, it just means the guy introducing him pronounced it wrong. (NCFC) - APB, Jan 3, 11:35:09
        
        Pretty sure it’s the American version due to his stepdad like Robert (n/m) (NCFC) - stringersrevenge, Jan 3, 11:42:45
        
        Like I said, his prerogative, but Wagner is a German name. (NCFC) - APB, Jan 3, 11:51:53
        
        a bit more than his prerogative - it's his name!! (n/m) (NCFC) - paulg, Jan 3, 17:01:19
        
        I can’t get Blackadder’s Mr Smith out my head (NCFC) - stringersrevenge, Jan 3, 12:13:42
        
        Some info here (in German) (NCFC) - APB, Jan 3, 12:00:55
        
        Didn’t his mum marry his step dad before he was born? (n/m) (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Jan 3, 12:06:49
        
        Has he been on Jeremy Kyle? (n/m) (NCFC) - camcan, Jan 3, 12:33:58
        
        Announcer's Pronunciation Blunder (n/m) (NCFC) - Ken Dodds Dads Dog, Jan 3, 11:42:04
        
        Bloke from Huddersfield says wag-ner, so that's definitely the pronunciation 😄 (NCFC) - norwaay, Jan 3, 11:39:42
        
        Interestingly, we NEVER pronounced Farke's name like he does (NCFC) - jamesward, Jan 3, 11:59:04
        
        That’s his accent. (n/m) (NCFC) - APB, Jan 3, 12:01:20
        
        It's still surely correct if that's what he calls himself (n/m) (NCFC) - jamesward, Jan 3, 12:04:10
        
        It’s just an exaggerated e. In Manchester the word “city” doesn’t sound like it does here. (NCFC) - APB, Jan 3, 12:14:54
        
        In/correct is a very grey area (n/m) (NCFC) - APB, Jan 3, 12:17:26
