Farke is a man.
He takes all the bullets for the board and he goes to all of the media sessions and speaks truth. Not an easy thing to do.
When our much berated owner and his useless sidekick were in charge we got many outbursts and statements from both on various platforms, and we also had Angus bleating away and chiming in with stuff, now we have NOTHING from anybody within Elland rd, not a thing from the 49ers or any of their Co horts, nothing from the chairman, whoever he may be, nothing from kinnear, is he still there, nothing from ortas replacement, whoever he is, nothing, it's completely silent, nobody seems to want to speak to the supporters to at least say..."we are trying, we are working hard for solutions"....nowt, we only here from farke who seems to have taken responsibility for the whole club on his shoulders.....poor sod.

I asked the question because I honestly don't know, who makes the desicions or the final call on whether a player is bought or sold, is there one voice, or is it a joint desicion the same 9ers group.
How much more & how much longer before Farke decides enough is enough. Always comes across as open / upfront as he can be, but surely as the days unfold, more unrest, more hidden contract details rear their ugly heads, all this with naff all positive news incoming, would you blame him.
Pretty clear the 49ers are in charge and Marathe overseeing things. They have a different style to Radz and not constantly pumping out media statements. Adam Pope, Phil Hay and Beren Cross seem to have much less inside info this season which seems to bear that out.
There is clearly lots going on behind the E scenes - not least sorting out Orta’s leaving gift.
They seem to only talk about signings once done so who knows who they are trying to get in but the fact that Aarons almost signed shows they are trying.
No point judging until the window closes however frustrating and annoying that might be.
Farke seems to be saying the right things about recruitment though.
There are over 60 Americans in charge. What could possibly go wrong.
