Interesting,could easily apply to lee johnson i suppose.

The only problem with warnocks point of view is that managers from lower divisions will become good championship managers in the future but maybe its much harder these days?

He makes some good points but it's a bit chicken and egg isn't it. You can't prove yourself in the championship without being appointed and he's saying you shouldn't be appointed if you haven't proved yourself. 

If a club gets promoted should they sack their manager because the current man has only managed at L1 level?

The fact that is barely ever acknowledged on here is that Lee Johnson was not a failure last season. He was a success. We avoided the drop with some ease having been certs for relegation when LJ was appointed. So he is not like Warren Joyce as has been stated on this thread, he is like Neil Warnock is this season, indeed, LJ was more impressive as he had far less time to effect a turnaround.

Indeed, Warnock's Cardiff might well be in the relegation zone next season, which would again draw parallels with LJ.

Ah yes but you're only allowed to credit Pemberton for good results ;)

Not really. Like most other people pre-October, Neil rated LJ and said at the end of last season he expected us to push for the play-offs this season. LJ had already done a very good job at Oldham and created a promotion winning squad at Barnsley before coming here - Joyce had no experience in management at all.

We don't need to rewrite history to point out that Oldham have spent agrand total of three days as high as they were the day LJ left in February 2015.

We might not be as high as the day LJ leaves City for a while either, but in a slightly different interpretation.

Getting his Oldham side challenging for the play-offs on an extremely limited budget in his first job after taking over them when it looked like they were destined for L2. Building a squad at Barnsley that was capable of getting promoted when up to that point they'd been in freefall (yes, he had the losing run there also but he had turned it around by the time he'd left). Keeping us up last season and then had us challenging for the play-offs as late as October this season - yes, we know what's happened since but he lost Kodjia and more experienced managers than Lee have failed here. It's hard to turn the tide when things aren't going your way but we've shown positive signs in recent weeks. You can't just focus on the last 4 months and pretend he hasn't shown good promise as a manager in the years beforehand - certainly more than Joyce which is what the post was about.

No , he is a good league 1 & 2 manager sadly not a Championship manager though , most can see that and trust me you will eventually come to this conclusion. It will just take you a little longer than the rest. Also on the focusing on the last 5 months you also cannot ignore the fact that is almost half his time here .?

No we weren't.  We weren't even in the drop zone.

I wouldn't say he 'fooked up' at Palace, he took them from a relegation battle to championship play offs in six months...

I am talking about his second stint when they were relegated, although even first time around his spending helped push them into administration - and he was bested by Gary Johnson :thumbsup:

But you can ignore that it is less than half his time here?

Fair play...good response, not sure Wagner counts as a rookie, but they've both done well....unlike our guy. Don't underestimate the role JP played in keeping us up last season....

Of course Wagner counts, Warnock's exact statement is ""I like Warren but you can't just put someone into the Championship who's never been there - it's nothing like youth football." Wagner had never been there. He's not specifically talking about 'rookies', but rather people who've never managed at that level. Joyce isn't a 'rookie' in football terms, he's been a coach for years working with some excellent players at United.

Then again, you're always going to get exceptions to the rule like Wagner.

Also, I think it's wrong to discredit LJ for our survival but credit it to Pemberton. The simple reason is because none of us know for sure. All we can judge it on is the results, which were very good in that period under Johnson.

David Wagner was manager of Borussia Dortmund II, their reserves, from 2011 to 2015. They currently play in the Regionalliga; the fourth tier of German football. Wagner achieved promotion to the nationwide 3.Liga, third tier during his time there.

As for Heckingbottom, most Barnsley fans think that the man who is currently out-performing Johnson, despite having a tiny budget, is the real reason the Tykes were promoted in the first place.
