What is your definition of ‘lower leagues’ then ? Most people would say that term applies to anything league one and below. In which case saying that Warnock was only effective in the lower leagues is ridiculous - 5 promotions to the top flight in his career. On the other hand if you are making out that the Championship is a ‘lower league’ then that is just as silly. It is the most competitive and financially rewarding second division in Europe and one of the most watched by people all around the world.

On the Mike Flynn issue, appointing a manager to run a Championship team when he has no experience of managing at that level, only managed for four years in total (all in league two) and in his current job has won absolutely nothing apart from a few cup games against teams from higher levels (who played weakened teams), narrowly avoided relegation once and lost in the play offs twice. Hardly a CV to put him towards the top of the list of prospective candidates for a Championship job really is it. At best it would be a massive gamble, at worst a financial disaster. No thanks to that for me.
