Hmmm... Call me a cynic but if WBA really made a firm offer I don't think Warburton would or could resist.
Also, if they really wanted him this public display of contentment at BFC would only encourage them to make an even stronger offer to lure him away.
Just saying, like....

Warburton knows Benham from when they were both City Traders. MW may not have the financial millions of MB, but I'm fairly sure he is secure.
The NextGen project was set up to fuel his passion of developing the best Youth Talent in Europe. I feel he has the same passion for what is happening at GP.

I reckon he was offered the role, I also reckon he turned it down.

Great news that Mark is staying!
And it also sends out a really strong message, about the foundations that have been laid by Matthew Benham , Uwe, the Board, and, indeed Mark Warburton himself
Onwards and upwards, Brentford!
Nailed on; and a really happy event.

Some of our fans are a bit slow to jump on board. This is Brentford, we are going places. and you wanna believe it COYR.

I think he knows that if his CV looks good now (with the Brentford "project" being a few years off completion), imagine what it'll look like once the "project" is bearing fruit.

He's the Sporting Director of BFC but he is also a football coach... he's just not a Coach at BFC; they are Peter Farrell and Simon Royce.

Well that's what I thought but in the interview it sounds to me as though he also does some coaching with us. May well just be me jumping to conclusions though.

Probably more to do with coaching the Development Squad and Academy squads. Although he has influence over players coming in, and their contracts, as that's his role..

It's a very good interview, he's not the usual cliché ridden football type but a very knowledgeable guy who we need to take the club to the next level. We're very fortunate to have him on board, again thanks to Matthew Benham.

I am a big fan of Uwe Rosler, have always thought the Manager to be the most important person at a football club and have never quite been persuaded by the Continental practice of having a 1st team Coach (as opposed to a British-style 'Manager')
But I'm beginning to think that the retirement of Sir Alex Ferguson may be heralding the end of the traditional British model. Essentially this is because with British clubs now recruiting players from all over the world; the growing influence of Agents and the complexity of player contracts; the demands of the Media; and the development of Sports Science and Medicine etc etc, the job of Manager is just becoming too big for one person. (This also explains why there are no more Player-Managers left in the game.)
Anyhow, as regards Uwe, either he will continue to do a good job, in which case he will be lured away by a bigger club, or he won't, in which case we'll get rid of him. Which is why I'm now beginning to conclude that Mark Warburton's continued presence at the club is actually more critical in the mid-to-long term than Uwe's. In particular, his role in player identification and recruitment, signing good young players for little or no fee on 3 year contracts at (presumably) sensible wages, bodes very well for the future.
Which is why I'm glad he (MW) turned down WBA in order to stay at GP, and won't be too upset if/when Uwe should leave (so long as MW remains, obviously).

I see what you have done there......reminds of a certain song we sang at Chester during 1999.

About a former Gooner and Bee ?
I was thinking more of the statue outside Craven Cottage.

When he first joined, I was a little suspicious of what his title meant, but since the debacle of the end of last season, I have seen what an asset he is to the club, so am
pleased that he appears to hold such a supporting role for Uwe, and allowing Uwe to get on with his job of motivating and improving players' performances.
