Warburton Gone - Official

WLS suggest he's certain to leave at the end of the season

I still disagree and believe he deserves more time given the job he's done over the 3 years. But it seems the writing is on the wall.

Totally agree! Warburton needed either time or more money to complete the transition to a ball-skilled, attacking side, and he has had neither yet!! In my opinion he needs another season to deliver the goods (or not) and be judged on next season. This one has been unbelievable in terms of injuries to the defence. The one area where I feel he has failed is in bringing in both Austin and Gray, rather than only one of them and a younger and fitter League One striker. As it stands, our failures are in not scoring any goals in fee play - rather than not scoring enough goals to offset those the defence cannot stop!

Not arguing on that singlespeed , only that changing for changing's sake is daft (at best) and stupid (at worst)!

I wanted to mention that other sites I have trawled have the same conversation going on - sack him or let him complete the job. Almost all comments are in favour of him staying - i.e. there is not a groundswell of fan pressure for him to go, In fact it is strongly slanted along the lines of giving him another season to complete the transition!

I can't think of any - maybe aside from Luton - who have had as many injuries as us in the last few months.
Other sides have had less injuries, and have much deeper squads.
Moreover, it's the quality of players that have been unavailable to us - Willock, Dykes, Wallace; now Dickie plus Barbet and all our goalkeepers.
We had an exceptional record in the calendar year 2021 because we led a charmed life in terms of minimal injuries.
What is happening now is what we have known all along - our best eleven are a match for anyone - but any less than that and we are vulnerable.

Warbs is hands-down our best manager since Warnock and promotion to the EPL in 2011; for those with short-term memories, that's eleven years of tedious mehdiocre or downright rotten car-crash managers (and let's be real, as much as I loved our Wembley victory, we fluked promotion under Harry Catnap). 

If Warbs left now, or at the end of the season, another Championship side would snap him up. One with a deeper squad and deeper pockets, no doubt.

As that great Mancunian philosopher Mark Burgess said, it's only when something slips through your fingers that you know how precious it is.

I’d take any of these
But I can’t see any would come to us

Amazing
Dyche was part of furniture at Burnley

Exactly! So many of us on this forum (and everywhere else I have seen) see the dire performances recently but see no gain by sacking Mark Warburton. This was a hard-fought draw against Huddersfield who are THIRD side in the league for a reason, and we could have sneaked the win too! Nobody failed to put in a decent shift against the Terriers. Warburton set them up as best he could, given the injuries inflicted on the squad, and they performed well. Now we need more of the same!
