        You might also add Leicester to that bucket (n/m) (NCFC) - Under soil heating, Nov 8, 12:07:45
      - Yes, and Farkeball had also gone out of the window (n/m) (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Nov 8, 11:43:03
  - You're kind of saying that someone objectively better than Farke (NCFC) - jamesward, Nov 8, 11:11:54
    - I'm not saying that at all (NCFC) - paulg, Nov 8, 11:16:05
      - There is absolutely no doubt that the new coach will have more experience than Farke (NCFC) - Knitted Jesus, Nov 8, 11:22:56
      - Come on Paul - read the room today (NCFC) - Cardiff Canary, Nov 8, 11:21:28
        
        Yeah, you got me (n/m) (NCFC) - paulg, Nov 8, 11:24:54
        
        Nothing wrong with getting a bit excited about a new manager (NCFC) - jamesward, Nov 8, 11:24:51
        
        I think it will be someone that is quite exciting (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Nov 8, 11:26:43
- Similar results without the love that Farke brought would be v damaging (NCFC) - Munich93, Nov 8, 11:06:22
- Only a few people (NCFC) - SCC 28, Nov 8, 11:06:08
Knutsen looks the most obvious “fit” with us/Webber type appointment (NCFC) - Jim, Nov 8, 10:42:34
- Big Sam, forward thinking and experienced (n/m) (NCFC) - thirsty work, Nov 8, 10:51:20
  - Yep always thinking forward to his next meal and what kind of pint he is going to hav. (n/m) (NCFC) - Maillot Jaune, Nov 8, 10:58:38
    - Fair enough, I'd say (n/m) (NCFC) - paulg, Nov 8, 11:00:17
- no relevant experience; a shadow of farke; pointless. (n/m) (NCFC) - paulg, Nov 8, 10:48:08
  - Well he's managing in the top division with lots of young players and just led his team to (NCFC) - Jim, Nov 8, 11:04:15
    - managing a club with a ground with capacity of under 6,000 (NCFC) - paulg, Nov 8, 11:08:11
    - He arguably has more experience than Farke did when he joined us. (n/m) (NCFC) - AstroCanary, Nov 8, 11:07:37
      - Maybe, but when Farke was appointed (NCFC) - paulg, Nov 8, 11:11:01
      - But we need to look where Farke finished and take the next step, which has to be top level (NCFC) - Maillot Jaune, Nov 8, 11:09:31
  - Who do you think would be a step up from Farke, Paul? (n/m) (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Nov 8, 10:52:55
    - I don't know enough to give a list of names (NCFC) - paulg, Nov 8, 10:59:27
      - I don't think we're in for Knutsen (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Nov 8, 11:07:10
      - Snail’s pace? Hasn’t got the foggiest what the most viewed league in the world is like? (NCFC) - APB, Nov 8, 11:06:55
        
        why? (NCFC) - paulg, Nov 8, 11:12:58
        
        Tell that to Roma (n/m) (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Nov 8, 11:19:16
        
        Coming from a smaller league can work (NCFC) - jamesward, Nov 8, 11:22:02
        
        Exactly - someone that's coached their way through (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Nov 8, 11:25:36
      - Anyone who can manage more than 0.45 points per game in the Prem is a start. (n/m) (NCFC) - AstroCanary, Nov 8, 11:00:17
        
        & who would that be? (NCFC) - paulg, Nov 8, 11:01:35
        
        Whoever it is should feel a bit exciting and a bit of a risk, I think (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Nov 8, 11:16:03
        
        I think the latter is an unnecessary qualification (NCFC) - CWC, Nov 8, 11:06:54
        
        But the whole project is about survving in the PL now...we have taken steps forward (NCFC) - Maillot Jaune, Nov 8, 11:17:20
        
        People hadn't been enjoying the ride this season, though. (NCFC) - AstroCanary, Nov 8, 11:36:21
        
        Yes individual games and defeats are not enjoyable but there was the underlying sense (NCFC) - Maillot Jaune, Nov 8, 11:42:43
        
        The direction isn't changing, that will still be the plan (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Nov 8, 11:44:11
        
        yes, that would also make sense (n/m) (NCFC) - paulg, Nov 8, 11:13:29
        
        I know I'm being flippant, but I do get frustrated with any implication that it is going (NCFC) - AstroCanary, Nov 8, 11:06:50

  - Lampard and Jody Morris (n/m) (NCFC) - SCC 28, Nov 8, 10:48:27
    - With John Terry defensive coach (n/m) (NCFC) - SCC 28, Nov 8, 10:49:51

  - VMT (n/m) (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Nov 8, 10:46:10
- Isn't he going to struggle to get a work permit? (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Nov 8, 10:44:28
  - So although he doesn't automatically qualify there is an "exceptions panel" (NCFC) - trafford_canary, Nov 8, 11:00:11
    - Indeed - just doesn't seem to fit the bill based on our situation (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Nov 8, 11:02:55
      - Strange that the norweigan league has been left out of the "Top Leagues" definition (NCFC) - Jim, Nov 8, 11:17:49
        
        or not strange at all, because it's the norweigian top division. (n/m) (NCFC) - paulg, Nov 8, 11:46:40
        
        If there is another club involved, it will also be difficult to keep quiet (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Nov 8, 11:20:26

    - You what? (NCFC) - jamesward, Nov 8, 10:56:37
      - Yes. The draws and wins as a sequence are good (NCFC) - Munich93, Nov 8, 11:02:43
        
        You're making zero sense (NCFC) - jamesward, Nov 8, 11:10:49
  - Agree. (n/m) (NCFC) - AstroCanary, Nov 8, 10:46:30
Safe to say Normann was delighted... (NCFC) - DrDublin, Nov 8, 10:06:32

- He'd do. (n/m) (NCFC) - protheroe fitzgibbon, Nov 8, 10:05:13
- Is Ralf Rangnick completely unrealistic. I guess so since he’s (NCFC) - Jim, Nov 8, 09:38:07
  - I think it's unrealistic for him to work under any sort of sporting director (NCFC) - jAC, Nov 8, 10:01:58
  - Nope. Can't be either of them (n/m) (NCFC) - jamesward, Nov 8, 09:39:03
    - Actually, Knutsen is 53 and started coaching / managing in 1995 (n/m) (NCFC) - jamesward, Nov 8, 09:44:18
      - He is unemployed so doesn't have a league at the moment (NCFC) - Maillot Jaune, Nov 8, 09:56:27
        
        I agree. Think he could be one of the two (n/m) (NCFC) - Jim, Nov 8, 10:00:37
        
        zero experience at a comparable level - would be a total punt (n/m) (NCFC) - paulg, Nov 8, 10:04:21
        
        Sorry we are talking about Favre (in the wrong place) (n/m) (NCFC) - Jim, Nov 8, 10:09:05
        
        Favre would be good I agree (n/m) (NCFC) - paulg, Nov 8, 10:12:02
      - Ok so maybe him. Favre fits the description but again out of our league? (n/m) (NCFC) - Jim, Nov 8, 09:52:58
        
        I agree Jim, can't see what would be in it for Favre? (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Nov 8, 10:13:06
        
        Also turned down a better club not very long ago (NCFC) - CWC, Nov 8, 10:27:28

        I don't think it's him though (n/m) (NCFC) - jamesward, Nov 8, 10:02:05
        
        For what it's worth, I don't either (NCFC) - paulg, Nov 8, 10:05:05
        
        It's not going to be someone who is currently in a job (n/m) (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Nov 8, 10:18:39

  - Athletic (NCFC) - jamesward, Nov 8, 09:37:42
  - Ornstein in the athletic (n/m) (NCFC) - Duck, Nov 8, 09:37:21
    - Only read his tweet and it didn’t say experienced. Obviously in the paywall section (n/m) (NCFC) - thirsty work, Nov 8, 09:39:23
- he'd be good - or at least, a rational choice (NCFC) - paulg, Nov 8, 09:33:21

        24 hours is not a long time (NCFC) - paulg, Nov 8, 09:53:25
        
        I suspect there had been many conversations before Thursday (NCFC) - jamesward, Nov 8, 10:04:27
      - There being "no talks" doesn't mean potential managers haven't been (NCFC) - jamesward, Nov 8, 09:49:14

- Anything over 13 points between now and the end of the season is a success based on (NCFC) - thirsty work, Nov 8, 08:27:25
  - According to a single, narrow measure, falsely extrapolated, yes. (n/m) (NCFC) - paulg, Nov 8, 08:43:07
