Former boss takes up his third job this season

Funny old game indeed..
If any of us applied for a job and had to explain why we had been sacked / let go from our last three jobs, we wouldn't expect to get far, let alone a relatively plump salary to go with it.
To be fair I think he deserves a job and we may find if he gets enough time he will get a lower team going again
I don't wish ill will on anybody - but with a shite record in the last year, I don't see why he "deserve"s a job as a league Manager ahead of any other potential candidates?Quote:

Good luck to the guy. But he'll run out of chances if he doesn't make it work.
One day he'll find his level...Maybe a team like Basingstoke Town in the Southern Premier is where he'll eventually shine...
Where do you think we will finish this season?Quote:

Thats progress from last season eh?
After the start we had this season, yes it is.Quote:

Based on last season? We'd have started off better than we did under Trollope. Given that, then yes we would have got closer to the play offs.Quote:

Warnock has managed 17 clubs Slade 12. It would appear we have. Replaced one journey man with an even bigger journey man?Quote:

He did do a fair job at City, and ended up somehow finishing way higher than anybody could have guessed given the likelihood.
But then, someone('s) will win the lottery every week against the odds of more than 16 million to 1.
Blimey ;) All hail Russell Slade - "hes not evil". What a commendation :-)Quote:

He did an OK/good job of the things you mentioned.
His ability as a football manager has been illustrated since. Dismal.
It's OK, we have one now.
Warnock is likely to be gone before the end of the year. Hes managed nearly 20% of all the clubs in the 4 leagues. Its an incredible record but it shows he does move around an awful lot and he probably will again?Quote:
