JuanFloEvraTheCocu'sNesta Posted December 31, 2023 Share Posted December 31, 2023 Let's see how he deals with the Jan/Feb period. If we get through that in anything like our current form we're on to a winner. thischarmingram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Despite noticeable fan unrest a couple of months ago, Clowes was quick to dampen down any prospect of Warne leaving & despite my wishes to the contrary, I did actually really admire that stance. Clearly we don't ever want to return to the 3rd tier so there would be enormous pressure on Warne to deliver a very different outcome to the Rotherham job in the division above but presumably that's why he dropped down to manage us in the first place. I think this is spot on. Warne's agent would no doubt be agitating for a new contract, but Warne is unproven in the Championship, would still have 2 years left on his current contract and will need to prove his chops in that league before being extended.

Harsh as it sounds, he isn't really unproven. He's managed at that level and got Rotherham relegated. Not to say the outcome would be the same with us, be he's not unproven. sage 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess cutting out the silly fouls maybe?

Yesterday a Villa player gets a pen(Atwell)yesterday after rolling on the floor backwards and forwards several times after he has the underside of his boot tapped...just one of a truck load of poor decisions so far this season. Learning how to buy a "ticket" for a foul has flowed down the football league pyramid to the lows of Children's football, Until the football authorities clamp down on "play acting" it'll only get worse...if that's possible 1 or 2 pundits are calling players out...but refuse to call them cheats 🙄 DavesaRam 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Evans gave them back to back promotions from League 2 and kept them in the Championship for a 2nd season. Warnock also managed to keep them up in 2016, the season before they were relegated under Warne. Further back, Ronnie Moore gave them 4 consecutive seasons at Championship level between 2001 and 2005.

Unproven? Think he has had a few cracks at it before and it’s not going particularly well a lot of the time. Saying that, I think he has Rotherham in the top 6 when he left them for us?

Perhaps i'm just somewhat pessimistic but I can't help but feel like we've been here before with this club at this point of the season. It's usually followed by a sub-par January window and then...the dip... Let's hope we've learnt our lesson(s). Also; on Warne himself - glad the team, and therefore he, is doing well, but there's just something about his Brentian interviews, his constant digs at supporters and his general communication style that just rubs me the wrong way. Sorry! Funny how everyone’s opinions differ. I find his interview style both interesting and quirkily amusing. The unspoken slant of your The team is doing well so that helps Warne made me chuckle. So when it goes wrong does that mean it’s not all Warne’s fault ? (something that crops up with regularity from the anti brigade. Anyway I’m with those who aren’t in any camp, except the one that wants to sack managers after 2 poor results and has the patience of a four year old.

Crewton Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 It's worth pointing out that when Warne was appointed interim manager at Rotherham at the end of November 2016, he was already their third manager of the season and they had a mere 7 points after 18 games, so they already had one foot in League 1. He was appointed formally after in April 2017, a few days after Rotherham had been officially relegated despite only improving their ppg from 0.39 to 0.57. If he had managed to achieve the 45 points in 28 games that would have been necessary to keep them up, he would have been a hero in Derby without knowing it, because he would have relegated Forest by 1 point 😉 So when posters say "he got Rotherham relegated three times", they're not telling the whole story.

Fair's fair, so you could say the same about his promotion record. The covid season was ended early and final positions decided on PPG, avoiding the effects of a late season slump - they had only won 1 of their last 5 fixtures that season so very well could have got lucky it was cancelled when it was and not a game or two later.
