"Maybe we should give him, and the new players, some time eh?" (Time passes...) "Good too see Warne finally learning." "Possibly as a result of us giving him some time eh?"

Sorry! We have definitely been critical of him on this forum but the way to endear himself to the fans is to revel in his victories, to feel our happiness and to become a fan. He can conjure up the team mentality we had under Rooney and Rosenior just by thanking the fans as a whole (there will always be naysayers) and joining in the fun, including the bounce.

Eatonram Posted December 30, 2023 Share Posted December 30, 2023 I won’t lie I hated the way some on here reacted to our slow start. The moaning criticism of our manager from everything to his ability to manage our “bigger club” to the way he talks his interviews his hats his sense of humour was appalling. It became clear and still s from tne underlying resentment about the recent upturn in form that some ( so called ) supporters became so invested in Warne failing that they started to relish a bad result.

He’s a multi-layered character, but I’d rather that than some of the media-trained auto-matrons who spout the usual clichés every Saturday teatime. kash_a_ram_a_ding_dong, ram59, Carnero and 5 others 6 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s a multi-layered character, but I’d rather that than some of the media-trained auto-matrons who spout the usual clichés every Saturday teatime. I hope (and am sure he will) stay true to himself. I personally love to hear his views on the team, his honesty and his sense of humour (mainly). He has had all sought of abuse on here, most of it fictitious baloney from so-called fans. People who either want instant success or armchair critics who voice their opinions without any evidence what so ever. People saying he can’t manage in the Championship, should we get there. Not surprised he is wary of some fans, if he is. People forget he is still a relatively young and inexperienced manager, despite already having had 3 promotions (and I know 2 relegations). He is entitled to grow and learn as a manager as most of us do throughout life. He is an intelligent man and I believe he can adapt his management style to whatever circumstances he will find himself in. I could be wrong but sincerely hope not. More than anything else he is a caring, man manager, despite allegations not long ago, that he had “lost” the dressing room (more made up rubbish!). He wants these same qualities from his players - they showed their togetherness in abundance after our last two wins. He deserves for all these made up views to stop and to have support. This is potentially going to be an extremely difficult transfer window. He will know what he wants to achieve - who he wishes to retain, who he wants to join. Unfortunately, much of it is out of his hands but I hope he has a successful window. I have little doubt that if we have a little downturn, that some fickle fans will turn against him again, but hope they will keep quiet for the remainder of the season, so that the majority of the club and supporters can get fully behind the team. Everyone need to pull together. If you don’t like listening to him - don’t - just watch and support the team.

Ewe Ram Posted December 30, 2023 Share Posted December 30, 2023 My very own mild mannered brother calls him a rude name. But then my brother is not known for his love of touchy feely management styles. personally, I love it when I have a manager who portrays that they like me, they are genuinely interested in me and my life outside work. Managers who don’t acknowledge you have a life outside the day job are never going to get the best out of me. I like Paul Warne, as a person, I think he’s a decent guy.

Yeah, think if the last eight/ nine games shown anything it’s that we all want derby to succeed. I’m so happy to be proved wrong on my opinion of warne, long may it continue.

Depends what you mean...there were a lot of people who 'appeared' quite gleeful to jump on any defeat and massively exaggerate the issues. My particular gripe was that the matchday threads were not representative of the game I was watching such was the desire to hammer him. I'd guess from recall there were a only a couple who eg explicitly said they wouldn't mind losing the next game if it meant he'd leave. How many more got some 'pleasure' from being proved right about their negative pre-match assessment is quite hard to count but the amount of times and hyperbole they used to do so was tiring and unnecessary.

RadioactiveWaste Posted December 30, 2023 Share Posted December 30, 2023 Just on Warne's interviews, it strikes me that he's never really had to deal with fans whodidn't feel connected to him and his team. Given his personna where it's pretty easy to read him like a book and he's not giving just "manager answers", you're getting what Paul Warne thinks at that moment, it's something he's going to have to learn to just be a bi more reserved about, it's not like he's having a massive go at fans so much as coming off a bit defensive and "it's unfair, we worked really hard at this".

BOB BIGGS Posted December 30, 2023 Share Posted December 30, 2023 Good to see Nigel Clough letting his views be known about a few Mansfield “supporters” who were moaning during yesterday’s draw against Doncaster. He wondered what more they wanted, having gone from second from the bottom to second from the top in 2 years. He wondered why they weren’t supporting the players when they needed it most. I suppose all Clubs have followers like this. They love to criticise but seldom put forward alternative constructive ideas for fear of being found to be wrong at a later stage. We’ve a few like that. Happily keeping a low profile at present but probably waiting for a chance - a few polls on the same subject again perhaps😀😀 Wolfie20, kash_a_ram_a_ding_dong, angieram and 1 other 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They repeatedly ranted om and on about how ridiculous it was he was being given another chance, that he had no clue, wouldn't win games, shouted down anyone who suggested patience. They were wrong. Fortunately we got to see how wrong. Doesn't mean we will walk the league or that he won't be at risk at some point. But some of the vitriol and impatience was embarrassing especially given some of our recent history.
