Who's in charge.

[WTF11]

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.

No.

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.
