Tag bitching?
I’ve posted on my own accord, I’m hardly in cahoots.
I also don’t care you’ve got a different opinion on Pep, you’ve not bothered me one bit, I’ve countered some points you’ve made that I just don’t think are really good.
I forgot you get all pouty on here.
I’ll be stalking you next.
Do you not think that the reason managers, like Warnock, win 8 promotions and managers, like Pep, Fergie, Mourinho and other successful managers at the top end of the game, haven't won all those promotions is that Warnock isn't quite good enough for the top division? Pep is not going to win 8 promotions as he's not going to spend all that time in lower divisions. Warnock has had to because top flight teams have not fancied giving him a go.
I'm going to go out on a limb here, but I wouldn't even compare Warnock to Graham Taylor.
Youd swear Warnock only has to manage in the championship and he will get a side promoted. Far from it.
Hes got 8 promotions (Not all to the top tier I may add) in 30+ attempts. A decent strike rate no doubt but Sean Dyche has got 2 in 4. Steve Bruce must have a decent strike rate too.
Only a half of Warnock's eight promotions have been from the second tier to the first, so, in essence, he's got a side promoted to the First Division/Premier League once a decade over the period of his time in management - a good record considering that a lot of the seasons he has spent in the job were in the lower divisions, but not as good as suggested by falling back on the eight promotions line.
As I implied in my previous message in this thread, you're making the assumption that Guardiola would not be a success at a lower level then the Premier League or its equivalent in other countries, but there is no evidence out there that this would be the case. In fact, as J R Hartley says, he has a 100 per cent promotion record in the lower divisions in Spain as he guided Barcelona B to the third tier of football in that country to the fourth in his one season with them. So, there is a small amount of evidence that he could manage effectively at a lower level.
Now let’s hang on a minute here. I’ve been one of Warnocks biggest critics since our first game back in the Premiership last season.
He’s not cut out for that league, and it showed from day one.
This thread though was a bit of a piss take, showing NW as the rough diamond he is, and Pep getting all cosy with his mob.
It appears that Warnock is past his best now, but he was treated like a god 2 seasons ago when he took over and got us up.
His joint world record of 8 promotions is to be admired, just as much as Pep stepping into an easy job and making Man City even better is.
People don’t give up on this board do they.
Rather argue on and on rather than admit they’re wrong
