We know he is honest to the point of fault-painfully honest as they say.
He is insecure and reveals it. fair enough. And what he says about the team , about it giving its all and wanting to play for him I buy. But, when he suggests every manager feels like that then I wonder. It confirms to me what I believed from the beginning. He isnt a manager. A person with any degree of responsibility can not do well with significant levels of self doubt. And he has self doubt.
Ive seen many people who can function well at one level but at another the wheels come off. The superstition he talks about is all well and good and its a containment strategy for his stress and a reasonably coping method. However, when the persistent levels of self doubt are alongside it and still spilling out then it reveals the split and the stress pours out. Likewise, his interviews have not settled down at all. He still uses self parody and deflection of all types to cope with being in the middle of it. Its just not his natural self. Hes having to paddle like mad to make sense of the huge ocean he feels he is in. Its a little sad that he still thinks of himself as undeserving and raw and feels uncomfortable in all but the most humble surroundings.
Look, I like him, we all do, but, we all are starting to worry about him more than the **** football and downward spiral of the club. Thats not right and its not fair. And, I am starting to feel some resentment to the club.

Very well put Ian. I fear our stand in manager is as he seems to hint well out of his depth. We know it, he seems to know it, Im sure the players know it. Why cant the board see it

I agree too Ian - TS forced him into the limelight for a temporary time then made him continue. I think he's emotionally spent and it's not good for the guy to have this love/hate/love mentality with the team all the time. It's like he's managing his peers and can't quite cope.

you've got a point there NY, I think we need to let Warny know that the fans know we don't see any of this as his fault and that there's still 'only one Paul Warne' and this has not affected at all the way we appreciate him.
I also agree with your comments about TS. TS by continuing with Warne was admitting relegation and taking the cheap way out until the end of the season. He might continue that thinking into the new season. If he does, and other signals we are seeing from the club, is very bad news as I would suggest it represents the end of any more risk taking and it would not surprise me at all under this scenario to see new owners within a year... sad if so.
Likewise if we see a new manager come in before or just after the end of the season, it gives us some hope we are dusting off this season and starting afresh under TS.
TS needs to come clean with his plans and thinking, at the moment it makes no sense at all.
Well if we made a loss up to June 2016 it would be interesting to know what monies were available to the club/Stubbs pre 2016/17 season, what was left when Stubbs had finished and what was left for Jacket/Warne(s) to pull off yet another escape act
