Warburton In or Out?

Its a reluctant yes
But I’d take Warnock back if he wanted to come back
Warburtons tactics are questionable at times too
But I didn’t expect more than where we are and its not as if he’s been given a huge budget either
Some strange signings though and some were ex players he knew from his past and they ain’t quite good enough really
But he gives our young players like chair a chance to shine and he wants to develop our young players
We are only a quality defender or two short of being a top 8 team
No point getting shot of him if a replacement can’t do much better with the players we have got on board now
We have to give him January and the chance to get players to improve our squad if the eze deal goes through then the lad from Leeds Jack Clarke we get on loan to replace him is a good addition

I agree northwest
It’s time to stick with a manager and see what happens
Not going down is the main objective this season as we were one of the bookies favourites to go down start of the season
Just a shame as the league is very poor and we had a chance to shine

Warburton only knows one way of playing and you can see from his limited tactical ability why he was without a club for over 2 years before we employed him. He was desperate to get back into football and we needed a manager who had some ambition but who understood that the were no funds.

Warburton knew that he had to lose players like Freeman and Luongo because they wanted to leave and that the club needed the money from their transfers. He also knew that Bidwell and Pawel were too expensive to keep and needed to also be released. However, letting Furlong leave for a paltry £1.5m after already having money in the bank from other sales was criminal and stupid. I will give him the benifit of the doubt on Furlong however, because this was probably more to do with TF.

The players that he has signed are not much better than some of the dross we have let go and he rarely knows what is his best team. IMO Barbet isnt much better than Lynch and Kelly is nowhere near as good as Lumley. By a bit of good luck his decision to get rid of Leistner didn't happen but his relationship with the BFG is clearly poor. IMO Leistner is a much better captain and central defender than Hall.

I wouldnt expect to see many new faces in January but I could see several changes during the summer.

Having said all that we have to stick with Warburton and hope that he doesn't waste any transfer money that he is given from the sales of Eze and Manning.

If the club did decide to make a change then I would like to see Chris Hughton take over the reigns because he is the type of manager that could rebuild us to compete at the top level.

I would like to see Warburton stay for at least 3 full seasons. with the limited budget that we have I think it will take that long to get his type of players in and start to play his type of football.

We have tried changing managers every season and that has not worked. We are no further forward than when we were relegated.

Changing the manager again will put us back to square one. And although I like Chris Hughton and would have no objections to see him as our manager in the future he is a safety first manager and that was exactly what got Holloway the sack.

I can't believe we even need this debate, we can't chop and change managers every time we hit poor form. If you want to know how that goes, then look at the Briatore era.
