What condition has Warburton left us in?


Recommended Posts

Obviously its not official yet and Id imagine MW will still turn up for work today if he is denying resigning. But what condition is the squad in for a new manager to take over?

 

I would say its a lot fresher and promising from when MW took over from Ally. The older dead wood players are gone like McCulloch, Templeton and Shiels etc. But the a lot of the squad is MW's players and will they down tools and not appreciate playing for someone else - I suspect this more so with the loanees. The players have to remember they play for the club and not one man.

 

So if the board didnt back MW in January that could be good for a new man in the summer to strengthen. We certainly need a couple of permanent midfielders. Crooks and Rossiter havent kicked a ball, Kranjcar is injured, Windass is injured a lot, Halliday hasnt stepped up, Holt is hot and cold, Forrester is in and out, MoH probably isnt the answer. The loan players Toral and Hyndman look good but I dont think we will see them again after May. Only McKay seems like a solid inclusion.

 

Upfront Dodoo might be happy as he may get a chance now and rightly so. Waghorn was rumoured to also fall out with the manager if he can get last years form back we may have a good partnership on the cards.

 

At the back Kiernan has his own issues with arguing off the park, Hill is 38 and Senderos not settled.

 

So there is work to do for anyone taking over.

Squad wise we are in a pretty poor shape tbh very few tactical options are available, the mentality of the team is pretty poor too. The timing of his resignation is the biggest issue right now, attracting a high calibre appointment at this stage of the season is tough. The best option might be an interim manager until the end of the season but its a bit of a thankless task and any manager worth his salt will want promises if he hits targets.

 

On the bright side it wont take much to get us secured in second place. Literally change the front formation and start doing drills at training instead of just talking about positioning/defending and we can kick on from here. Hopefully the players react like professionals but who knows with this squad how they will react.
