cider-manc Posted March 10, 2015 Report Share Posted March 10, 2015 Warnock has achieved promotion with 5 different clubs. Are we basing these responses on fact or people we just like to hate? Warnock is a great manager at getting teams into the Prem. However he also has one of the worst win percentages in Prem history. Too good for the Championship not good enough for the Prem. So to that degree he is over rated by Premier league chairman. He's managed 7 clubs and achieved promotion at 3 of them, plus took another one (Rovers) to the play-offs. That's a reasonable record that compares to most managers in the league - success at some places, less so at others. Overhyped maybe, but hardly a serial failure. Not a serial failure but SOD had a better win percentage at city than Hollowhead had at Millwall! Also one of those promotions with Palace, he took over when they were 4th and they finished 5th.... Not actually that great a feat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhistleHappy Posted March 10, 2015 Report Share Posted March 10, 2015 Ok maybe I'm being a tad unfair.. of late he's not been so great. Always be a top bloke.. regardless of success on the pitch ... Colin is and always will be .. TOP of the ANAGRAM LEAGUE! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coxy27 Posted March 10, 2015 Report Share Posted March 10, 2015 AVB Academica - Great Porto - Absolutely superb Chelsea - Generally considered a failure but very little time Spurs - Highest PL points tally ever, went down hill, given no time to recover. Zenit - Looking a shoe-in for a league title. 37 years old. I've gotta disagree with you. He'll go on to be an excellent manager I reckon. Cast aside too early in his most difficult roles, which possibly came too soon for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chivs Posted March 10, 2015 Report Share Posted March 10, 2015 SOD This, this and this again. Never should O'Dismal be allowed near a football team again. The same could be said for Steve Coppell although he did have some early success. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drew Peacock Posted March 10, 2015 Report Share Posted March 10, 2015 Nigel Clough. A tad unfair. He did well at Burton over a period of time. He has subsequently consistently under-performed with the resources at his disposal but I don't think he has any relegations on his CV has he? Well, he doesn't really have much on his CV to shout about to be fair; he is one of those "I don't want him here although he won't be a total disaster" managers. Overhyped for sure, but not totally useless, just totally mediocre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Overhyped for sure, but not totally useless, just totally mediocre. He is keeping Sheffield United down in my opinion. Their cup success shows me he has the quality at his disposal when the players motivate themselves for the big games but for a run of the mill League 1 fixture he can't get them interested. His saving grace may be that playoff fixtures will be seen as bigger games by the players and they will motivate themselves. He is their Danny Wilson.

One Team In Keynsham Posted March 10, 2015 Report Share Posted March 10, 2015 It hurts to say it, but.......Tinman. Hopefully one day though. Hopefully you are fishing, since I don't recall anyone actually hyping him up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pickle Rick Posted March 10, 2015 Report Share Posted March 10, 2015 Di Canio. Used 40+ players in a season and on a budget 5 times what they spend now, in a division below. I reckon I could have done a similar job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichaelRobartes Posted March 10, 2015 Report Share Posted March 10, 2015 The self styled guvner, Paul Ince I was going to suggest him, but he did miraculously save Macclesfield from relegation (my flatmate at the time used to lose his accumulator every week when they started winning, he still claims the credit for their escape) and get Franchise FC promoted. Has done less than nothing since though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrahamC Posted March 10, 2015 Report Share Posted March 10, 2015 Roy Hodgson - can't believe nobody mentioned this guy yet What, the guy who has managed Inter Milan, won the Swedish League five times, the Danish league, moved Finland higher in world rankings than they'd ever been, took Switzerland to their first major tournament in over 30 years and who, I suggest Fulham fans might be thinking of rather fondly when they compare his time (top ten Prem finishes) with now in the bottom four or five of The Championship?

Major Isewater Posted March 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2015 Not so sure about Neil Warnock, at least he's had a number of promotions in his career. I recently read his autobiography, quite an interesting read to hear what he's had to deal with. Did he mention his age ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
