I'm glad Rush replaced him and Mac showed what Clough was missing in ability. Your extrapolation from that point is hilarious though. Rush allowed Mac to bring in expensive loans like Bamford and Linguard - to add to a team built by Clough including Martin Russell . Hughes , Hendrick etc. Then as soon as Newcastle looked Mac’s way - he wet his nickers . RoyMac5, Kathcairns and Archied 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

secretsquirrel Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 If we are successful tomorrow Warne has to have credit as despite the number of managers we have had only 4 have achieved promotion in the last 40 years. If we do go up we will have to temper expectation as ,after watching the 2 games Leics v Southampton and Leeds vs Boro this week we are a long way off that standard and we certainly wont have a budget to compete.Mid table i think will be a success.

I'm glad Rush replaced him and Mac showed what Clough was missing in ability. Your extrapolation from that point is hilarious though. We went into a spiral of financial meltdown, laughing-boy. Caused, in part, by idiots howling for a new manager time after time - on two occasions after fewer than 10 games. Each severance came with its own raft of huge payoffs, and each appointment brought with it a call for more players to suit the new manager's 'style'. Eventually, the purse-strings snapped, and the fan running the show and so eager to please everyone walked away - not broke, but broken to the tune of around a quarter of a billion.

bucktwo Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 16 hours ago, CBX1985 said: A fair comment, but I just don't think we know what his football is like. At this level, we are never going to pay to get Championship level players (more than just a few) as the risk of failure is too large. He has to do what he can with what he has - means justify ends, and we need(ed) promotion. Should we be promoted on Saturday, my view is that PW starts again, a new coach on a two year deal. His new job will be very different from his last one - albeit from the same dugout. That is when, in my view, we judge the standard of his football. Agree with this , also not many thinking if he does a great job next season he and his backroom team could get "poached" by a bigger club ??? Perish the thought we may actually be flirting with the playoffs to the premiership ... you just never know . There will certainly be a great opportunity to build a squad to challenge .

I'm not sure any of us have realistic expectations for top 4. The Championship table is quite daunting. An awful lot of teams with Premier League experience and cash. Plenty of big clubs with lofty ambitions. I'd take midtable, decent crowds, better football, stability and some younger players coming through.

Just settling for the play offs, a club of our size? Surely, it needs to be top 2 at the very least.😉 After all, the championship will be the weakest it's ever been with the big clubs going up and replaced with traditional championship clubs. If Warne can't get is in the autos against that lot, he needs to go. 😉 Edited April 26 by ram59 Extra information.

Walkley Ram Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 (edited) I'd be happy just to stay up next season, assuming we make it. Anything on top of that is a bonus. Oh, and doing the double over forest and Leeds. Edited April 26 by oodledoodle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archied Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 If we go up tomorrow then there’s a building job to be done , we are not going to be overflowing with cash relatively, warne may well be exactly what we need to get the spirit and togetherness we need to stay up and stabilise with a bit more than he had at Rotherham, I for one am going to be right behind him and the team, we are coming back from the brink and we fans need to keep that fighting spirit BOB BIGGS, DavesaRam, Crewton and 2 others 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
