Just to stir the pot who is the best manager out of Poundland Pep & DF?
Your man PP has secured a PL return. Maybe DF will.
But who is best?

Think both have massive question marks above them at the top level.
It’s interesting that Farke has totally owned McKenna and to a lesser extent Maresca. I say to a lesser extent as I still believe we were somewhat fortunate at ER but at his gaff I’d say that is possibly our best performance of the season tactically & performance wise.Cjay wrote: ↑Mon Apr 29, 2024 9:03 pm Think both have massive question marks above them at the top level.
But Poundland Pep I suppose?
He's had 1 Championship season and finished 1st so.
Farke in his 1st season finished 14th.
Can't even complain about the budget because the Norwich wage bill for his 1st season was the highest ever reported by a Championship club (Norwich had parachute payments back then).
So Maresca presumably even though even Leicester fans aren't convinced.
But hard to say until we see his 1st Premier league season.
Kompany did better than both of them in this league with less money and look how he's struggling in the Prem.
I'd agree I think Leicester away was tactically DF's best performance of the season, he got it spot on. Was very impressed with him that night.Jaydog wrote: ↑Mon Apr 29, 2024 9:16 pm It’s interesting that Farke has totally owned McKenna and to a lesser extent Maresca.

And we beat Ipswich deservedly twice 8-3 on aggregate.

Maybe not getting promoted isn't all bad.

ATM Probably McKenna as his lows have tended not to be damaging defeats at least in recent games under maximum pressure.Cjay wrote: ↑Mon Apr 29, 2024 9:33 pm I'd agree I think Leicester away was tactically DF's best performance of the season, he got it spot on.

Pressed Leicester High early on and really rattled them, they never really recovered and we deservedly won.
2nd was more lucky but we take it, it does beg the question why we have been so passive and standoffish away from home recently and at various times this season though? When we showed we can really rattle the eventual league winners why not Continue that trend (even if you eventually want to sit back)?
Think McKenna simply fell into the trap MB did at times in the Premier League (and Farke himself 1st season Norwich got promoted).
Thinking he could go toe to toe with us when it was clear that we had man for man much much better players.
It's brave but it's naive I suppose? It could work but it more often than not won't?
I think when opponents are more evenly matched player wise it does become more of a manager battle?
Tactics and what not.
DF showed that vs Leicester especially tbf to him but then Martin got him vs Southampton so swings around.
Now your turn.
Whose a better manager at this moment? Farke or McKenna?
Would be very interesting to see how he'd cope in the Premier League.Jaydog wrote: ↑Tue Apr 30, 2024 7:20 am ATM Probably McKenna as his lows have tended not to be damaging defeats at least in recent games under maximum pressure.
And his subs generally seem to work although that’s from very limited viewings.
However that naivety that you mentioned will get him fried in the PL even allowing for incoming players.
Still he’s done an amazing job.
Don’t say that to Clacton White. He hates the Tractors and Suffolk in generalOrange Box wrote: ↑Tue Apr 30, 2024 8:03 am I agree with those who say Ipswich deserve to go up. Their biggest asset for me is that leg biter Sam Morsy . I wish we had somebody that nasty in our middle. Thing is though, he’s 32, and I don’t think he’ll go down well in the prem.
I do like that Clacton White, he has such a wonderful way with words. Jeez, I hope he never finds out I live in Scotland.

Whats wrong with a CF making thoughtful runs and missing sitters ?
It’ll be 3 of those 4 I reckon but will it be us?Cjay wrote: ↑Tue Apr 30, 2024 1:01 pm Would be very interesting to see how he'd cope in the Premier League.
Actually thinking about it would be very interesting to see how they all cope, Maresca, Martin, Farke and Mckenna.
All could struggle.
Could it be the ones best suited to the league are Actually the less pretty style ones like Corberan and Wagner
