Like everyone else, only really knew Farke from Norwich, a team that did well in Championship, sounded reasonable in post match.
Wasn't disappointed when he came in and feel he comes across as intelligent, honest and he genuinely gets what we';re about, unlike Marsch who had never experienced ER as manager, knew nothing really about our heritage and identity.
I feel he's being as honest as he can.
I think his goal of trying to create unity is essential for team success and glad he's identified that.
We're not seeing a whole load of ex Norwich players come in, either because he's not being backed or because he's confident in his own ability and doesnt need to what worked before.
I like him.
I feel I can trust him.
He has right balance so far of honesty, sharing, discretion and not blaming board or making excuses.
I really hope that he does well, I really hope the 49ers back his decisions to play or not play players and support him in delivering what he feels he needs.

I like him also but it's big shoes to fill after Bielsa. I'm trying to completely erase the memory of having Jessie marsch in charge, who was completely over his head. 49ers are doing everything but filling me with confidence but there's not much you can do about owners
Still time for them to turn this tough player situation around and bring in the five or six players we need to compete.

If he’s given time, he’ll get us on the right path.

Good manager. Should have you comfortably mid table.

Have seen bits and pieces, but greatly undermined by several factors, half the squad jumping ship as soon as they could rather than face the ignominity of relegation and a wage cut, the injuries to major influancers in the squad, Mancini's direction to Gnonto to move to a top flight club even though he is nowhere near that level hence the lack of interest beyond Everton has spread disquiet in the squad, the owners reluctance to invest in the squad until sales have been made has made it impossible to strengthen the on field talent have all hogtied Farke and meant are nowhere near the side the side we could be.

Good manager, if he is backed we will be OK.

I get a similar feeling with Farke and us as I did with the likes or Arteta when he went to Arsenal. Not comparing the club or manager quality but more he is having to almost dig deep to help rid us of our issues
There is a lot or crud at the club. A lot of that down to previous regemes and management.
Almost a one step forward, two back situation
He comes across well and as if he knows what he is doing.

We cant keep comparing managers to Bielsa. Be was a one off they just don't make them like that.
However im enjoying Farke so far and thank god he wants to pass the ball. You feel once he gets his players in we might go somewhere. Might not be overnight so we have to have some patience

Execs haven't earned our trust or respect (yet).
Only thing left is to put faith in Farke as we can't do anything else.
It's the usual Leeds bumpy ride but we have to believe we'll get there.
