Slade gets Manager of the Month.

Yet we had the better record

 

[kevalutonbee]

Whether MW gets it or not, it kinda gives a lie to the old "Curse of the MOTM" myth.

But you wouldn't be averse to it reoccuring this weekend would you?

 

[Alex]

Yet we had the better record

Depends how you look at it. Orient won all their games, Brentford didn't.

We drew with Walsall... A top 6 side..
We also played Peterborough and win.

Remind me, did they play anyone of note?

I'm just saying it isn't as simple as saying we had the better record as it depends how you look at it. If you ask who got the most points then Brentford have the better record, change it to who got the most points per game and Orient do.

You can only beat the teams you are up against. I'm happy for Slade to win MOTM and for Orient to be found out against good teams. On current form, as MW said, it might well be that 96 points is needed for automatic promotion. In that scenario the quality of the opposition is irrelevant - the top two will have to win either way.

 

[BURFORD BEE]

We won it 2 months in a row, they weren't going to give it to Warbs again, like it or not Slade has achieved a minor miracle with the squad he has so good luck to him. Just as long as we make him choke on it next month!

 

[sonofabee]

Good luck to Slade as long as we win another 2 Manager of the Month awards we'll be Champions

 

[Invipai]

We can't win it every month, wasn't November the first time we won it since Andy Scott?

Everyone else would moan if we won it 3 times on the bounce so it seems balanced if someone else picks it up.

Nice feature on BBC London News at 1850 tonight

 

[JordanBEE]

There was a feature on him on BBC London news about 5 mins ago.

Very big and interesting article on MW today in the Sunday People . He talks about his background in the city and his year coaching abroad on his path to management . Quite unbelievable that a "fan " has complained to him the other day that he is naive and far too attacking . Words fail me !

We like every other club have a minority of kn*bheads who mean well but aren't the brightest. I seem to have a certain ability to draw those of them on here into regular debate. lol

Even money it was Beebop chasing him down the road waving a copy of Uwe's autobiography. Apparently Ade was lurking in the shadows with a calculator and book of stats to back Beebop up

 

[lishabee]

Wonder what MW said back to this supposed fan? Was he politically correct or did he let rip ??

unbelievable.Its positive football,and we have improved ten fold under Warburton,since Rosler left.How can people not be happy at the moment

I'd put money on said fan not wanting to move to Lionel road either.

Let it go mate, it's only a few moaners who wouldn't be happy unless they've got something to moan about. Imagine how unhappy they are that we're playing great, winning football, virtually all our signings have improved us and looks like we're moving to a fantastic new stadium - they've maxed out on us not getting the game on and then Orient go and spoil it by chucking three points away!
Don't let them spoil it for you fella.

Bet the same fan has been heckling CD the last few games...

Any idea how you could find out?

[Banana]

"supposed fan" - oh dear.

 

[hatfieldbee]

The only slight issue I have is that sometimes in media interviews, MW speaks too quickly, when he is in hyper mode. He needs to slow down a bit in these circumstances. Completely at variance with my views on his attacking play... . There is, actually a half serious point to this post.

 

[hanworthbee]

good article on Mark in today's Times football pullout

 

[Bigbee]

Ok ,I'll get me free copy of the Times today then when I go to Waitrose . Every one should join the " Our Waitrose " club , free coffee and daily paper each day when you spend a fiver or more

Oh, I thought Waitrose only did Telegraph, Mail and Guardian free.

 

[Bigbee]

Deffo the three you said but I thought the Times was added ,maybe wrong , I normally pick up the Mail if there's any left.Always loads of Guardians and I get that if I have to but hardly ever bother to read it.

Thanks - hopefully they'll have one left when I go this evening.

 

[lishabee]

Interesting read, seems the Breadman not afraid to dish it out when needed. Maybe not as quiet as may first appear.Nice to see his missus also gives him grief about the footie

 

[Bigbee]

just got my Times , the article is the same pretty much that was kicking around a few days ago on here .From city trader to rookie manager ,huge pay cut,every one thought he was mad etc ,

 

[lishabee]

Not sure my missus would have the pay cut!

 

[Wooburn Bee]

just got my Times , the article is the same pretty much that was kicking around a few days ago on here .From city trader to rookie manager ,huge pay cut,every one thought he was mad etc ,

City Traders retire at 40 or less or semi-retire. Not so much about having enough money to live off then but they get burned out and move onto other careers albeit usually in a related (and less well paid) field!

I'd agree, actually. Top manager and top bloke. Fast talker, clearly a fast thinker.

Know what you mean he does natter at 100mph, .....but he seems a really nice guy and potentially a very good Manager :warbs:.....and a good friend of Sir Matt

Alex Ferguson was practically incomprehensible at times*, Gus Poyet's English is garbled, whilst Pochettini (sp?) doesn't even speak the language...

In the end, who really gives a sh*t about media interviews - so long as the players know what he's getting at, that's all that really counts.


* - That's when he actually deigned to give interviews

Great performance by Mark Warburton on SKY FL72 review just now.

Credit to Mark and Brentford.

Well done Mark!

The Southampton Manager speaks English, he chooses to use a translator as obliged to give interviews, clever bloke.

OK, scrub Pochettini and replace him with another highly successful foreign Manager who couldn't speak the language, eg Jimmy Sirrell...

Very positive interview and feature on Gillette Soccer Saturday on Sky Sports at 10 to 3. Phil Thompson, Charlie Nicholas and Paul Merson all highly complimentary (and we also learn Merse's mate is a kitman at GP!).
