nothing classy about his constant referee bashing, even heard him screaming at a ref in a friendly. 'Good old Boris' in the middle of a mismanaged pandemic?Neil Warnock, our classiest manager in years.

Yes, agreed he inherited a real mixed bag. He had a few kernels of quality surrounded by dross and perenial injured players. Is there truly anyone from the Mowbray era that goes down as a club legend? I mean Friend and Leadbitter mainly played and played their best footy after Mogga left, not while he was here.Morning Mart.
He also had Leadbitter, Friend and Ayala

I hope we give our current manager a chance first!A new Manager is reportedly in the pipeline, and I hope for the sake of the Area, the Club, us Fans and the team - we get the right one and give him / her a chance
Mowbray's last game:FYI here is the team from Mowbrays last game, the idea that he left us in a great position with a strong team is bluntly debunked by this line up:
Steele
Hoyte Bikey Hines Friend
Haroun Grant McEchrean
Ledesma
McDonald Jutkiewitz
Subs: Leutwiler, Thomson, Bailey, Smallwood, Emnes, L Williams, Ish Miller
That is a horrific team and bench, bar Friend, Grant, and maybe Jutkiewitz if 100% fit. 6 of that team and 5 of that bench have never been championship quality.
I have never bought the concept that Mogga left us in a great position for Karanka to reap the benefits of, if he wasn't a local playing legend, he would be slaughtered.
Of course.I hope we give our current manager a chance first!
if you want to hang the man off that one comment then fair enough.. but don't pretend that something is when it isn't.nothing classy about his constant referee bashing, even heard him screaming at a ref in a friendly. 'Good old Boris' in the middle of a mismanaged pandemic?
Not quite comparing apples with apples. Karanka’s 2013-14 season started after 13 games and a low league position, Warnock 20-21 season was a full one ( and fell away ).Karanka 2013/14 Season - Finished 12th on 64 points
Karanka 2014/15 season - WLWLLWWWDDWWLD W7 D3 L4
Warnock 2020/21 Season - Finished 10th on 64 points
Warnock 2021/22 season - DWLDDLWLLWLWWW W6 D3 L5

so from that side Stojanovic is proven at an equivalent level, Howson, Shotton, Fry, Friend, McNair, Clayton, even Wing and Gestede were moderately proven championship players. That leaves Coulson....a kid, and Nmecha who signed for Wolfsberg for 7mill. Then theres the bench "Tavernier, Assombalonga, Fletcher, Morrison, Roberts, Johnson, Saville, Spence, Pears" With 5 players proven at this level, plus Morrison, Roberts and Pears. That is a far better team than the one Karanka followed, and of course was utterly mismanaged by Woodgate.----------Stojanovic--------

I don't think switching Richardson, Kei Kamara, and Whitehead in makes any difference.Isn't that mark Venus team rather than mowbrays
great point if we want to compare their first seasons they both arrived part way through and avoided relegation. Their first full season Warnock threatened play offs for 5 months then tumbled down the table. Karanka reached the play off final finishing 4th in the leagueNot quite comparing apples with apples. Karanka’s 2013-14 season started after 13 games and a low league position, Warnock 20-21 season was a full one ( and fell away ).
same record as KarankaNow i KNOW you're trolling.
8 games is not a season it can’t be used in any comparison.Not quite comparing apples with apples. Karanka’s 2013-14 season started after 13 games and a low league position, Warnock 20-21 season was a full one ( and fell away ).
pretty desperateso from that side Stojanovic is proven at an equivalent level, Howson, Shotton, Fry, Friend, McNair, Clayton, even Wing and Gestede were moderately proven championship players.

You can’t count 8 games as a season!!great point if we want to compare their first seasons they both arrived part way through and avoided relegation. Their first full season Warnock threatened play offs for 5 months then tumbled down the table. Karanka reached the play off final finishing 4th in the league
