  1. My point was probably a bit subtle. I was not saying Warne should go or stay more that if he went and was replaced I doubt we'd be much better off. We are limited by player capability much more than Manager skill. The proof of our squad level was in the last window where apart from Bird (who wanted out) no one attracted any substantive bid!
  2. You could put Pep or Jurgen or Sir Alex in charge of this team and I doubt the results would be much different! Turning this team of journeymen into European level champions won't happen. I think managerial skill has limited impact at this level. Its the players innit
  3. An old saying "The Peter Principle" says if you shine in your job, you rise to your level of incompetence. Then you are replaced. So two thoughts: PW has/is doing well at this level. We will go up and he may do well at the next level ,and maybe even the Prem . At some point he falls short and we will replace him. However if he does really well, he himself may move to a bigger and better job or be poached. Alternatively we find a rising star now. Can we guarantee he will not be incompetent at the next level? Also if he's as good as we think others will also have spotted him and temptation to a bigger club will follow. We tend to be judged in life on our results and football is even more driven that way. PW results by the only standard that counts are good. So I feel we go with the flow and enjoy the ride!
  4. Liverpool would have won a lot more if City hadn't (allegedly) cheated on 153 occasions over many years! If found guilty I would delete all their results over the years and recalculate the tables. Happens in the Olympics!
  5. Its our traditional new year downturn. We'll pick up again in March!
  6. @Carl Sagan why not use AI to write your book in 30 seconds? Or are you actually a chatbot bot masquerading as a human? Has AI already taken over and we humans just don't know it yet? We are already sliding on a path to intellectual oblivion! "I think therefore I am!" will be redundant as most people stopped thinking and replaced it with "Hey Google"!
  7. So statistically if you are called "Paul" you win MoM more often!
  8. So we are not one of the best based on historical results!
  9. Walk along Tissington trail near Parsley Hay. Completely litter free apart from every few yards little black or green bags of Doggy poo. On return walk of about a mile and half I counted 18. Who do they think is going to collect it all. Getting dog owners a bad name.
  10. Not sure what your point is. When I worked I was visibly a lot busier than my boss, but I was working under his direction. I was good at getting things done once pointed in the right direction. If I'm honest, looking back, I was terrible at strategic thinking but a great fixer! Maybe that's a similar split of responsivity between Manager and Coach.
  11. Rooney coming back as tactics coach.
  12. The old BBG clock was always wrong. Haven't looked at it in years so don't know if that's still true.
  13. I think its great actually!
