Annoyingly an answer is Dean Smith... bear with me...

Dean Smith did actually have the credentials we would be looking for at the time we sacked Farke.

Experience in the Championship, got a team promoted to the Prem, kept a team in the Prem and developed younger players (and sold for £££).

What I'm actually saying is that we've seen credentials don't matter!

Farke had none of those things.
Alex Neil had none of those things.
Paul Lambert had none of those things.
Worthy had none of those things.
