The perception that PW doesn't get any credit is wrong - he didn't want the job in the first place so he was coerced into the hot seat. He has been a safe pair of hands but he's not been as brilliant as most give him credit for.
He can't cope with players with "attitude" and those are some of the better players going forward. He thinks Yates is worth keeping?
As for his cheap as chips centre backs scoring two own goals v S****horpe - we'll one and then kicking kodak for the second goal. He's not a championship player.
Teflon coated last year when he played extraordinary open football when a more defensive set up was needed was naive to say the least.
Everyone loves Warne but the football last year was a throw of the dice football - anything could and did happen and only the lack of quality all over the pitch decided the outcome - and sorry we were still running at the end of the game....good but not a great leap in the standard of football played.
Good luck to him he'll need it this year....If he wasn't TEFLON I'd feel sorry for him tbf.
but isnt that all rather negative and also against the actual evidence of the league finish and the rather accomplised journey through the play offs?
I certainly wasnt sure about Warne as manager and never once did I think we were good enough to go up but up we went. At times we played well and at others we didnt. However, its simply ignoring evidence to criticise the manager or players when they actually performed to achieve promotion and bounce straight back -a feat never achieved by us.
so the logical conclusion is to look at the results and outcome. Those players and staff performed and achieved and passed their exam. I imagine there must be some schema underpinning your point of view other than the evidence of 50 + games and verified results that have the backing of history and achieved in the frame work of tried and trusted methods.
