    It was put with a ? after it , so by very definition would be ambiguous.

    I wanted to see what others on here thought .

    Some do, some don't.

    I think he hasn't- I would have liked to have seen an article or 2 looking at what he has done so far in a main paper.

    WOL has been pretty good, but then they only have 3 clubs to report on.

    Manager of the month is basically an award for the manager who had the best results that month, not really an endorsement by the media.

    I'm not really bothered by Sky Sports news or the guys on 'The Championship' who hand out accolades like confetti.

    Anyway, nothing achieved yet, so maybe I should hold my peace for a bit 😉

    The sad fact is, the main media only concern themselves with the top 6 clubs. Dyche is about the only manager outside of those to be getting any credit at all at the moment - and I wonder how much of that is down to him being English?

    I don't think Cardiff are being ignored by the media, people talk about less coverage on Channel 5, but the football isn't good (from the games I have seen) and even with a win, it must be hard to garner highlights beyond set plays, long punts forward, and gritty challenges.

    If Cardiff go up, I think Warnock (a rare breed, a British manager in the PL) will get more coverage. Saying that, I don't think Mackay was getting any more/better coverage than Warnock currently is during the promotion push. Even in the promotion "party" at CCS, Ali told the fans in the ground "Here's the man who made it all possible..." and out came Vincent Tan. So, in terms of the club, I think Warnock is getting more credit from Tan than Mackay was - so there is a small step forwards there.
