Talking about the total cost of the squad. Ours is seventh cheapest in the Championship, cheaper even than Barnsley. Arguably we have been getting the points return the last two months that you would expect given the budget. We were punching above our weight massively, now we have just reverted more to our natural position alas. Yes I understand what your saying although I truly believe the players MW had at his disposal should have provided us with a play off place irrespective of budgets with the position we found ourselves in.around January. Watching MW post match today emphasises he has no real remedy in place to expect any changes in fluctuation in performances next season. Are you in favour of him being given another year Stainrod ? Unless someone obviously better is available to us, yes. Wd Daniel Farke come to us for eg? And is he any better than Warbs? Or were his two promotions with Norwich more to do with the fact he probably had a budget ten times bigger than ours? |

It’s also a sizeable number of games to make a judgement. Its been poor, not going to sugar coat it. Just don't see the point in sacking him in the hope that the board appoint someone better - they haven't got a massively good track record there. Generally speaking stable clubs do better than unstable ones. |

There have been injuries but the most recent form is rubbish. He also doesn’t seem to know how to address the slide. |

Surely you play your fastest centre forward against him? Plus taking off Amos who admittedly was poor - he often is - but about the one player who might actually score. And when its sh*t or bust play Adomah for a decent stretch - he might just unlock something. |

Truly dreadful interview. No probing questions about tactics or selections. Pointless.

I think the young lad on WLS Dan Bennett does an honest job at posing more challenging questions to MW.

Too buddy buddy.
Poor journalism imo if you’re not prepared to ask difficult questions.
We know MW has a habit of snapping at reporters but that’s their job and they shouldn’t let it deter them. Much better to have it out and row. That way you might actually get to some facking truth.
As Lennon so eloquently put it:

It took me a while to realise that the bloke just chats utter bollocks. Once I'd picked up on the sort of ways he spins interviews, subtly bigs himself up and deflects criticism, I kinda lost interest in hearing what he says.
As you say Stan, nobody ever genuinely challenges the guy. It's just a platform for him to throw out some spin and propaganda.
If he genuinely believes that Sam Field has been out best performer then he probably shouldn't work in football management again.

Tarbs, all season long, why has nobody ever questioned him about Andre Gray, by far his best goalscorer with a 1:2 conversion ratio, and his constant refusal to give him a run of games and playing Dykes instead.
That, as far as I'm concerned, is plain amateurish journalism.
I mean at least facking ask him the question, even if there is a valid explanation for fucks sake. You (the reporter) might know the answer but NEVER assume the paying fan and reader do!!
Instead we've had to content with this buddy buddy shit all season long. Boils my piss tbh. That's not the job of a journalist you ****. He's been in the job 20 years, so should know better.
It's ruined his legacy as a QPR manager as far as I'm concerned.

He just takes over and talks and talks until you can’t be bothered to listen anymore. Should be a politician.

That McCullogh is a fucking plum anyway. Talks so much shit on twitter I can't believe he actually makes a living from what he does. Delusional. Any valid points he tries to poo poo. Arse licker of the highest order.
Too scared to ask a question in case he's not granted another session with the King Warburton

There’s nothing much in there that we don’t already know Tarbie but a decent summary of how the season panned out.

Isn`t 3-5-2(with variations) the system that all our teams are playing? I’m not so sure all our youth sides play the same way Shania. David McIntyre described youth team players being sent to play with the first team and MW refusing to accept them due to being unfamiliar with the system. MB mentions “alignment of club policy on youth team players “ in his interveiws. I don't think Warburton was refusing to accept youth team players because they were unfamiliar with the system. According to McIntyre Warbs wasn't impressed with youth players and did not believe youngsters of sufficient ability were in the system. Different thing IMO. |

to add to timmy's point i think ramsay has said that all youth teams play the same style too. its not about results but churning out players who can slot in.
i do think our academy has come on leaps and bounds since ramsay came in though. hopefully we can produce one or two more players, everyone knows about armstrong but i'm curious to see how kakay gets on under beale.
i've been a big critic of kakay in the past but who knows

That's true, but your original post referred to McIntyre's sayings and I referred to an article which he wrote himself. |

I did hear from a very reliable source that the academy / youth coaches were constantly asking MW what do you need from a certain player, does he need more tactical nouse? More work in the gym? More aggression? More what? And were met with a wall of silence. His message to them was they’re not good enough but he wasn’t working with them to improve them. Very poor in my book. |

If that's true then it bears out what a lot of people have been saying about a total rift in camp, ie Warbs vs The World. He's a stubborn customer, that was his downfall elsewhere. It's also interesting that the %s in Holdings have moved around fairly significantly in the last couple of months. Change is in the air all round. |

What is he there for if he doesn't do that? Surely you sit both the manager and the youth team coach down and ask what it would take to get that player to be first team. If the manager turns round and says "you can get him to do as much conditioning work etc as you like, he simply isn't good enough" then there is a decision to be had, probably to release/ off-load the player. But sitting in grumpy silos is a text book example of how failing businesses are run, or rather not run. |
