Daniel Farke

Maybe this is the formula. Coaching is less than we think: it's just saying things quietly to footballers. It's also more: it's knowing what to say

Players are leaving but not arriving. The ones left behind are being taught to play wi' ball but not wi'out ball. The defending and stuff, hopefully, is coming next week. But in the meantime we had to play Manchester United.

Farke’s first Championship champions scored 93 goals with a goal difference of +36. His second scored 75 with +39. I’ll take either. Thanks in advance, Daniel.

Football could do with working out where its next generation of coaching talent is coming from. If it's between Steven Gerrard, Frank Lampard and Steve Bruce the next time the England job comes up, it'll be a moment of national despair.
