We have Nottm. F away and Aston Villa at home then followed by Man. City, Chelsea, Liverpool. So for these 2 games we sneed at least 3 points if we lose both i would sack DF

Given that we haven't scored a goal in 4 of our 5 away games, and given the fixture list coming up, I'm pretty sure he wont be here by Xmas.

A heavy defeat tomorrow, and that could be it.

I don't think he's in danger regardless of Forest.

If its a heavy defeat then perhaps he should be, but I doubt it.

He keeps mentioning 1ppg and data for a reason (it's practically a beg to the owners that he's doing okish.).

At the same time a defeat to Forest and realistically we will be below that mark in a few games in all liklihood.

But I think they will give him 3 or 4 more regardless (till we get Liverpool, Chelsea and Man City out the way).

If we've struggled till then vs Forest and Villa I expect he'd go.

Forest is vital I feel as I could easily see 4 defeats in the games after.

I don't think he's safe by any means but I'd be shocked if he left before Villa and do expect him to be given the tough run.

I've voted never.

New contract in the summer after keeping us up.

If Farke gets sacked, and that could well happen, then who do we replace him with ? And if it still goes wrong who gets the blame, the new manager ? or is it still Farkes fault for not building a good enough squad.
We will probably suffer a lot of hardship in the coming weeks/months, the best we can hope for in that time is that we can stay close or just ahead of the bottom 3 or sides and hope we bring in some new players during the January transfer window that can help us improve.
Hasnt it always been said Farkes sides start slowly, so if that was, or is true, then maybe we stand a better chance of seeing improvement after the Christmas period is out of the way. I think some fans forget just how much of a step up there is to play in this league, coupled with trying to get a new team together and trying to get players used to playing at this level, when its new to a lot of them.
We do need to buck our ideas up, and quickly, but will Fake get that time ? its anyone guess to be honest.

And you come to this forum to get a break from them...

Farke is like an old car you suspect isn't quite up to the job but it gets you from A to B but you know the day will come when it'll have to be replaced. No guarantee the replacement car will not be problamatic but you do need at some point have to make that jump or the face days when it doesn't work ...

Gone with never as late December and February - May aren’t the options and I’d guess it would be in those periods. Thought about January but decided against it.

He won't be sacked unless we are well and truly in a "no hope" spot. Things aren't great right now, no, but can't think of many obvious candidates. Of course, the allure of a PL job is massive, so I am sure finding a new manager wouldn't be impossible regardless.

DF has got to get us going if he is to stay. Ultimately, his job is to work with the players he has, and it does look as though he might have taken us as far as he can, but I wouldn't sack him just yet. Tough call for me.

Personally, I don't know if Farke will be sacked.

The real culprits in this matter are the recruitment team who built two-thirds of the house & forgot to roof it with no floor foundation too!

Who would you replace him with & who’s available that’d we’d want and would do better. Be careful what you wish for as our record of mid season manager changes is hardly impressive.

We were doing Okish in the prem under new management until that 2nd half performance v Palace. I wonder if we'll ever find out what went wrong

Tbf we have no way of knowing whose available and who'd want to come.

Undoubtedly in the world of football will be loads who would do better and some who'd want a Premier League job.

Just depends who fits both.

Statistically though when it comes to changing managers earlier and higher up is better.

Success drops by the league position and the month after November

I have gone 2,that is if we have zero points after those 2 .I saw the odds for the next manager and I guess you all have,not sure I fancy Rogers,or ange I would fancy potch and he has said he want another go in the prem .

Joachim Low

Thiago Motta
Xavi

Kjetil Knutsen maybe persuaded...
