Leed United's new manager.

Daniel Farke... formerly of Norwich City.

An interesting choice. He took the Canaries up twice and down once. Did well as Borrusia Dortmund's reserve team coach and has just taken my old German club, Borrusia Moenchengladbach, to 10th, then got sacked.

He could get us back up, but if he does he will need funds and probably someone with knowledge of the Prem - there are plenty of good assistants about.

As you say, interesting choice given his track record. Good luck to him.

Oh God you mean I have to see that miserable little face again. Horrible man. Caused so much trouble for Ipswich and got players sent off, then turned round and winked at his bench.

Shell, you could have stayed in Div 1 and avoided all this. ;)

But you are not, and I hope you Tractor Boys do really well. Prefer to see you up there rather than W. Bomble, QPR or WhatFor?

With the right backing he could get you back up, at least he’s got experience of the league.

Thank you Frank. I hope so too. I’m not looking for Prem glory. Couple of years in the championship before that will be good

At least it's done now. I thought it was never going to happen!

I was thinking the other day that it’d all gone quiet.

We could do with getting rid of a handful of wide receivers, a tight end or two, and maybe a running back that Marsch brought in.

Mind you, some linebackers wouldn't go amiss. ;)

Over to you. DF and the academy.

I'm glad he's in at last anyway, and that he's insisting on having a say on transfers. We paid £25 million for Dan James, then sent him out on loan. £25 million for Aaronsen and Fulham want him - on loan. Two seasons since we bought Robin Koch. He's now apparently going back to Germany on loan. He's only got one year left on his contract so after the loan he's gone on a free.
This is bad business!

Admittedly, not as bad as the Jean-Kevin Augustine fiasco which I can recommend as an example of how not to run a football club - pay out millions but end up not owning the player! :lol:
