Article About Paul Warne
Permalink  
 

Here's a great article from the Star regarding Paul Warne. It puts into words what I believe to be absolutely correct about his tenure and performance as our Manager.

We haven't always been good this season but the one thing that I think can be said is that we have never been found wanting for effort. What I hear from people close to the players is that collectively they would run through a brick wall for Warne and have a lot of respect for him. He might not be in the fourth officials face, might not contest every decision and might not spit feathers at press conferences but underneath his apparently laid back approach there is a certain back to basics steeliness about Warne that shouldn't be underestimated.

What a fantastic article. Warnie what a guy, I was so so wrong about him. He's instilled pride back in the club & it's supporters.

This is a good artilel by Paul Davis, but it is the sort of article that is easy to write when things are going well.

What marks Burnley out as better than the rest is that they had confidence in the man they identified as the best fit for them, and stuck by him even when they were relegated. Their supporters also bought into the idea that the Premier League might be too much for them first time round and didn't give Dyche or the board grief when that proved to be the case. They stuck together and all supported Dyche when they were getting beaten regularly and often hammered. That was to their enormous credit and they deserve the results that they are seeing now.

Warne got a free pass last season because (nearly) everyone could see that he wasn't to blame for the shambolic lost cause that he inherited.

I was opposed to Warne's appointment not because he had no experience, but because he had no qualifications for it and didn't really seem to want it. But I did say that whether it was Warne or anyone else who got the job, they should be given it for a long time a we should stick by them for the sake of stability.

This season Warne has done a very fine job. The acid test for me though will be this: if Warne does take us up and we are struggling in the bottom three of the Championship come Christmas, will the supporters at away games be sticking by him as we lose 3-0 away at some club with ten times our budget, and will Tony Stewart have the courage to back his man for the long run if the supporters turn?

I saw what happened to Redfearn and Stubbs, and I suspect that I know the answer.

Would be nice to have the same manager for 8-10yrs wouldn't it. Warney has longevity in him, as long as he continues to learn and be adaptable. That article obviously gives some snippets of the little touches that management not a coach would do just to get that exrtra ounce out of your group. If we do go up, as a supporter base we'd do well to reference Burnley, like that. Not only do we become small fishes again, but we do grow as a club, or at least we should be doing with the extra revenue and exposure, and as much of that is the backend, not just better quality players.

My ethos has always been, what happens on the pitch happens. If you can come away and say the lads had a right go, really what more can we ask? - I've been to too many away days in the past and come away thinking they couldn't be arsed. That is the most deflating, I'm pretty sure Warney will never let that happen.

It's a Warney luv in at the moment, well deserved. Just want him to prove now he's a winner. Will make tough decisions when needed. If we get in the championship can't see Tony Stewart settling for the last season we were a championship club. One thing when it comes to recruitment manager has to have the final say on bringing players in. Head of recruitment can look at profiles of players all day we can afford but doesn't say they're the right players for us.

I already hear people (some of them grudgingly) say that Warne has done well in League One but he will never cut it in The Championship. Those same people will turn very quickly if we go up and don't start well and the voices will get louder. I don't know what people don't get about us and The Championship. Unless we triple our fan base overnight or get a billionaire in who is willing to take a chance on busting FFP rules apart (like Bournemouth did), it will always be very difficult for us up there. I really hope Warne does take us up, but only if we can almost guarantee him a free pass for the year and stick with him if it doesn't go particularly well. We would be better off in the long run a la Burnley.

Any "quality" that was in league one has been sucked up to the championship - with the better players going for decent wages even to be squad players. ( Kieffer Moore ).

 

This league has suffered - but we have benefitted from this drain.

The blackpool game - we should have lost on chances created and that's why we are where we are - don't get carried away.

PW has inherited a new culture within the club
(I hope) that will go shopping early and wisely unlike the debacle that NW laid the foundations for. Never forget that !

PW is a lucky boy to be in the right place at the right time with a chairman that has the forthought to change tac when necessary. IF we get to the promised land ( and it's ours to lose now ) the shopping list will be the benchmark for our success in the future.

But everyone is happy with the product bought on a shoestring - dubious quality week on week but we're not being punished for our obvious shortcomings - we will next year IF we go up - non league diamonds from pound land will be eaten alive.

 Difference this time if it's the championship will be Warney's players so he'll sink or swim by his summer signings. Can't be no free pass. Can't be another championship season like the last one down in November. Not expecting us doing a Sheff U but not in the bottom 3 all the season. If some of those extra Wembley fans turn up to the home games next season will help. Tony Stewart can't do it on his own.
