Paul Warne will definitely not be manager next season....I'll take all bets

I hope you`re right gm_gm. Looks like we will have to be more patient till the end of the season and we won`t be getting an announcement before end of March early April.

Pure supposition about Steve Cotterill or any manager but he fits the profile - doing TV work recently - and unattached - as far as we know !

Not inside information either - but as I have repeatedly said there was only one cunning plan and TS pulled the plug on it.

Either he panicked - under pressure from stupid fans or he's using AS as a sacrificial lamb - with propaganda blaming one man rather than an inept / unrealistically financed championship campaign.

The outcome is obviously relegation and Warnsey has been given the job of taking us down.

Obviously no one will blame Warne - in fact despite a lot of evidence against the club - some knob heads are still citing Stubbs as sole cause which is now a rediculously naive conclusion.

So the fantasy is that no one in their right mind will make Warne the long term manager so someone will come in - and trusting TS ( as I do ) - I think his new cunning plan is to keep the new manager out of the news and let him plan - plan - plan.....and we will hit the floor running next season - and have a season of epic proportions....lol

Just saying like.....UTM

lbj, cunning plan ? since when has the club had a cunning plan.
gm_gm mentions on a separate thread any incoming Manager back in November would have a relegation on their C.V that's true but I don't put too much importance on that fact. Plenty of Managers have failures & relegations on their C.V. They usually find employment elsewhere, it's called job swapping.
Steve Bruce- 2relagations on his C.V. now at Villa as one example, there are plenty of others as well.
You are right Warney won't be blamed but my opinion is an incoming Manager wouldn't have been blamed.
I await the cunning plan coming to fruition at the end of the season.

Sol Campbell is chippy and mardy, no staying power.

Nigel Adkins anyone?
Out of work and waiting for an opportunity.

"Why would we be lining up our next signings already."

Because the manager for next year is in place and working with the "football manager" player selector.

I simply can not justify Warnsey getting the job next season. If most of the squad want him then that's one hell of a reason NOT to give him the jon!

Listening to Antonio Conte and big Sams comments regarding the players input in the "thinkermans" sacking - their said:

Conte: The players should never guide the club about the choice - working of a manager NEVER - "It means the club is weak"

Sam: The players arn't as qualified as I am - I know more than they do about football - systems / tactics mean nothing unless the players listen and perform to the best of their abilities.

Both are spot on - so going forward let the players be players and manage the club from the top down.

I think Rotherham United has suffered greatly from player power this season - so much so that it's cost our place in the championship.

Spare the rod and spoil the player !

Wow, I actually agree with that lbj.
I think I'd better take another tablet 😉

[lbj]

Have one of mine......they're really good....

As for young Tony NOT having a cunning plan......We'll that lad is on the ball and of course he has a cunning plan....He's not as green as he's cabbage looking !

[Casper64Frank]

I will have one of your tablets as well lbj.
I don't doubt he's on the ball & yes he's not cabbage green.
He knew very little about football and yes he still is learning, not as quickly as I would like.
He soon found out that players agents are not easy to deal with, they tout player's off to other clubs for obvious reasons.
It's how you deal with player power that matters.
We can't keep employing managers and sacking them a few months down the line regardless whether it's a results based industry or not.
Can I have another one of your tablets lbj....

Rosler was about as good as SE at Leeds so forget about him. Cotterill better were he his now talking about football. Atkins see Sheff U last season, failed league 1 manager.

Casper,
I'm not too sure if Warne will be the manager next season.

The computer is detailing the potential signings for next season and will be doing so for every transfer window. All clubs will invest in the same tech soon so we'll be back on an even footing but without the funds or the infastructure to compete.

lbj. I know I'm not highly educated and often have to read things twice but no matter how many times I read this it doesn't make sense.

"Why would we be lining up our next signings already."

I simply can not justify Warnsey getting the job next season. If most of the squad want him then that's one hell of a reason NOT to give him the jon!

Are you saying that a manager needs his own players?
Are you saying that a manager from which ever club can't work with the clubs existing players?
Is that the name of the computer programme RUFC have bought?
Why can't you justify Warney getting the job? Have you any influence in the decission?
