It would go wrong

Farke's tactics are fantastic for beating teams with worse players than he has (our two promotions under him were mainly because we were the absolute brilliant best at beating lower half teams, our record against the better teams was generally a bit dodgy), but pretty poor otherwise. If he comes back here he won't have better players than the opposition and will very probably look s**t.
