Warne didn't back himself into a corner where it felt survival or nothing. Whereas with Taylor it felt like if we went down we would be gutted throughout the spine of the side. And still would be, that's where the squad is.

Warne built a core of a squad that was either sold / moved on for progressive moves, or would then be sold / moved on for those moves. The likes of Crooks, Barlaser, Chieo etc. How we managed them can be debated, but we developed players that could / would go onto something 'better'. Who, in our current squad, is in that similar boat? Who are we developing that will undoubtedly make upwards moves? Viktor and CAM? Both brought in under you know who.

Who have we brought in since Taylor took over that looks at all likely to do that? I honestly can't think of anyone, not right now.

I'm not advocating Warne as better than Taylor, or vice versa, but the circumstances are different. The backing and the expectations as a result of the backing are different. The potential downside is bigger this time.

I'm rambling a bit but yeah.
I think it's a good post MillersTime.I sense the frustration in it that a lot of us feel at this time.Personally I think MT is a better manager the PW but ,for some reason,TS feels a change is needed.The problem for us all is that although we see decisions on the outside we see nothing of what is really going off on the inside. Warne was allowed THREE relegations (albeit his 1st was a bye). MT wasn't allowed 16 games into a season after suffering constant injuries after keeping us up,something that Warne never did.WHY? That is the question.
