Twitter rumours what's chance of anything true, next to nothing. Scott & Trotter confirmed: recruitment. Hope it's for the championship next season. Come on Warney get it right. Still say when available we have more stopping up players than Millwall or Reading. Not Wood or Forde. Also Yates.
The Rob Scott appointment was well known around the 9th March. I think i posted on the 11th so god knows why its took so long to announce it. Apparently he has a lot of contacts and people close to P.W. are very excited about the move. As for warney going to Q.P.R. Somehow i don't think that will happen. Tim Sherwood appears to be the man they are after. Warneys stock his high so i would imagine he is on a lot of peoples lists of good up and coming young managers and will be mentioned when a vacancy at a bigger club arises. Just not your idea of a good un TH MILLER.
Warne will get linked to other jobs because he is a good young manager. Dean Smith was linked to about forty jobs before he went to Villa. Sherwood to QPR makes sense. He is apparently big mates with Les Ferdinand who is on the board at Loftus Road, London based, relatively big name etc. Not saying he is a good manager, just a natural fit. That is often how it works.
PW won't go to QPR. How hard would it be to attract the right kind of human being to West London & all it's "attractions". London is an attractive proposition for the footballing mercenaries who look for a decent payday.
TH - Warnock seems to take his mate Blackwell all over with him. Management teams do seem to come as a group and managers do seem to like working with people they know and have worked with before. I wonder whether your mate Evo will take Raynor with him to his next job? Remind me - who was head of recruitment when Evans was with us? Don't bother I've remembered - it was his brother. I think he made revolving doors in his spare time. Funny old game.
See who they fetch in my mate Evo fetched a few decent players Arnuson Morgan Tavineer Dicko to name a few there was a lot of dross but most of them went in a month see if del boy and beam me up scotty can get anywhere those four.
You've missed the point TH. You've accused Warne of nepotism because you don't like the guy, but you love Evans who takes his sidekick Raynor everywhere with him and got his own brother nice jobs at Boston, Crawley and Rotherham. Double standards pal. Did you ever wonder why we signed so many players under Evans who hardly kicked a ball for us and moved on quickly? I didn't really buy into the idea that some players didn't settle. It never seemed to happen under other managers. I always thought that was a bit odd.
I don't hate Mr Warne as far as I am concerned as long as the chairman supports him I will it just seems a bit to cosy with all his old team mates as I have said before a bit of friction here and there is not such a bad thing its just that I found it more interesting when Stevie was here his record wasn't bad. If we do go down this season the main reason is we haven't scored enough goals if we had another Derbyshire knocking a dozen or so goals maybe we would have had a chance of stopping up the manager has to take some of the responsibility for that.
More interested in the Grand National. Been studying the race, could be tipping 3 in the race assuming one gets in if anyone is interested. Got to tip more than one in a race with 40 runners. All three have shown some ability, carrying under 11 stone & lightly raced this season.
Just an idea gwru; why don't you start an OT thread on the Grand National rather than introducing horseracing into a conversation about our manager potentially leaving!?
Thought OT threads were for nothing sporting. whisto01 put betting up for something that won't happen: Warney. I'm if anyone is interested putting tips up for something that will happen. But if there's no interest shown I won't bother
if QPR want him we should make it a condition of sale we swap places with them.
but seriously warne wanted in London after steering little Rotherham to relegation.
unless PW has sent them all his own secret tea perfusion to charm them. Think of all those good guys he will be abandoning (minus Robb Scott who was sacked for Gross misconduct)
Can we all agree that it is possible that a manager can be a very good manager and do a very good job, but still have his side relegated? All this 'its a results business' and 'heads must roll' stuff trips off the tongue easily but it is pure *******s. The most any many manager can do is get the absolute best out of the resources at his disposal, and given the time to work that so many managers are denied these days sometimes he might have to take one step backwards to take two forwards. There isn't anything even a little bit unusual or surprising about the idea that other clubs might covet Warne. We should do all in our power to keep him and think long term instead of going back to square one and re-booting for the umpteenth time.
You're right Glenn. Ask Ipswich fans what sort of job McCarthy was really doing when they were finishing mid table every season on a relative shoestring budget. The ones who hounded him out must (should) feeling pretty stupid now.
