    This cones across as extremely churlish and mean spirited.
    At least give the guy an ounce of credit for 3 promotions.

    Seems a stretch. 
    He only got them promoted (3 times in 5 years) because of the squad he inherited? What about the 2 other promotions over a four year period? No credit due for bringing the likes of Ogbene, Barlaser, Smith, Ihiekwe, Harding, Ladapo etc to the club in his time? 
    I think it's fair to say he has his limitations but promotions aren't a given at any level, certainly not with Rotherham United in a league generally full of 'sleeping giants'. I get that he may not be everybody's cup of tea or even the right man to take us up but at least consider the whole picture, there's certainly more to PW than just luckily inheriting a squad during his time up at Rov'rum.

    Not sure if I'm speaking out of turn here, and this is not aimed at any specific poster or comment, but my thoughts are that if any manager... in any industry... bailed on his/her beliefs each and every time someone poo-poo'd such beliefs... well, they wouldn't be much of a manager would they! 🙄
    Changing tack is brave, if it's done at the right time (and in the right way).  Changing tack at the merest hint of discontent (be that from staff, players, strangers on an internet forum, or senior management) is weak, to say the least.
    My opinion then, is that it is unfair to criticise PW for sticking to his beliefs.  That's what he gets paid for, and that's what he lives and dies by (professionally speaking).

    I'm not trying to call anyone thick and i apologise if you took it that way but to me it seems fans are getting personal with Warne and I think that is out of order,by all means criticise his tactics etc but he's had his personality/individualism since he was born so why should he change that side of himself to nullify a few disgruntled fans.

    We lose and Warne gets battered, we win and he still gets battered.  I don’t get it.  We’re 4 games in, nothing is won and lost yet.  Have we ever had a manager that seems to polarise option so much?

    It was just a bit of sarcasm that most people with an iQ of above 10 would have understood, didn't realise our manager had to change to suit our fans it's getting quite boring that some posters scrutinise his interviews to find things to push agendas.

    Gisby reacted to Tamworthram in Eiran Cashin   
    I reckon, if you perceive the comment as “trying to take the p out of NML” you’re trying too hard to find ways to criticise what he says. I believe he just plucked NML’s name randomly as an experienced player nearing the end of his career who may be of interest to the Saudi teams. Pretty much proving the point that for the right offer, any player could be sold.
     
    There are probably plenty of things I’d take issue with. This wasn’t one of them. Nothing to see here. Move on.

    Can’t help thinking some of us are beginning to border on the hysterical with the anti Warne rhetoric. I can appreciate some don’t like his style of football, his mannerisms and/or his way with words but in some quarters it’s going over the top. Getting a little tiresome in fact.

    Why not try listening to the interview?
    Ed Dawes asked him whether Cashin was saying his goodbyes as he applauded the fans on a full lap around the stadium after the game (which he always does!!!) so Warne sarcastically said yes that was his last game I'm afraid....slight pause... that's a joke by the way before everybody starts!
    It was nothing.
    Criticise his management, tactics, etc all you like but people trying to turn his interview into a drama now are just clutching at anything as unfortunately* we won today.
    *That's a joke by the way 😉

    Warne was asked very specifically by Ed Dawes whether it was his last game, because he'd walked right round the pitch clapping all four stands (something he's done every match at Pride Park I've seen him in!)
    It was very clear the reply was sarcastic.

    Gisby reacted to i-Ram in Waghorn and Washington will be vital   
    I think, fwiw, that we still have a good team, if they were played correctly.  Waghorn and Washington up, would be a good partnership, with either Sibley or Barkhuisen at no. 10.  I wouldn't start NML personally; very limited footballer but would scare a number of tiring defenders coming on after 65 minutes.
    The three in midfield are all good midfielders for L1, and I would add Ward and Thompson to the choices; they just need better options and movement up front. Waghorn, Washington, Sibley and Barkhuisen move far better, and create space and passing options, than Collins and NML. They will certainly score more goals. 
    Defence - we just need a 4 who can be solid. Surely Bradley and Nelson have to be better than what we have seen to date?

    Gisby got a reaction from hintonsboots in Is Warne living on borrowed time?   
    I would hazard a guess that it’s something along the lines of promises made to those that have already signed that we had other signings lined up & in the pipeline that were going to terrorise the league, score a hatful of goals and take us back to the Championship but since signing on the dotted line said attacking personnel have not materialised. Hence why those already in the building are probs beginning to feel like they have been sold a pup. Just my assumptions though as deffo not ITK.
