He doesn't have humilty because he's an arrogant bassa into the bargain as is his big pal Davie. He was an aberration in no small part thanks to Paul Murray and John Gilligan's blue sky thinking.Pedro is fair game, but Warburton would never have achieved what Gerrard has to date for the simple reason that he has no idea how to set up a defence.
He was sacked by Forest because he lost more games than he won and their supporters made the same howls of frustration about his lack of defensive nous and tactical rigidity that we did.
As said before, Warburton would get a lot more slack on here if he’d simply show a bit more humility.
He did a decent job and who knows, had he been given Pedro’s transfer kitty would probably have made a better fist of it than he did, but ultimately the job was too big for him yet he still refuses to accept his limitations may have been a factor in his demise, although I’ll agree with you that the club didn’t cover themselves in roses with the way it ended either.
I wouldn't have trusted him with the money afforded to the disaster that was Pedro. He signed Phillipe Senderos ffs! He made Thistle's Kris Doolan look like Hernan Crespo at Ibrox one day. I gave out a huge sigh when I heard the news that he had been appointed. Having watched Brentford re-invent the wheel the previous season, there were tell tale signs that the guy didn't learn and was extremely dogmatic.
People were initially impressed by the pseudo tiki-taka but it didn't take too long to wear thin and it certainly didn't take opposition managers long to figure out how to beat him. All of about two and a half months if memory serves. The Semi-final against them was a great day and a fine performance from ordinary players. But hand on heart, we could've and should've been taken apart that day.
Any Rangers manager who counts winning the Challenge Cup as a serious achievement is delusional, conceited or both.
