IH8MUFC said:What is this based on exactly? Apart from you disliking them. Warnock has 7 promotions in his career as a manager. That along with Dave Bassett is a record in English football.oldius said:Were it not for their 'relationships' with the media and their Britishness, neither Warnock nor Redknapp would still be involved in the game.
People don't like to admit but Harry done a good job at Bournemouth, got them promoted, good job at Portsmouth got them promoted/f.a cup (awaits he bankrupted them etc..), excellent job at spurs. Got qpr promoted, leslies damage had been done when he got relegated.
Maybe that's why they have jobs.
You prove my point. For some reason, Redknapp is never to blame. In this case it was Leslie's fault. Redknapp has spent a lot of money, got them up via the playoffs and is now struggling in the prem. You don't have to wait for the bankruptcy comments of course, nor the tax affairs comments, as you are clearly already fully conversant with the information.
My opinion is that the press would be massively less forgiving of him were he not one of the good guys. I hear him spoken of regularly in reverential terms as one of the 'friends of the station.' If he were a European manager he would get a far less easy ride. He has had historic successes but his recent performances do not justify the reputation.
Warnock's record of promotions is a record but you fail to mention the number of times he has been dismissed following relegations or leaving his club in a precarious position. Nothing against either manager but I think their failings are generally ignored.
