i hope roy keane becomes the new celtic manager he has so far had no success as a manager and always a chance of a bonus a square go with liewell.

I don't want Keane but to be fair he won the championship. And Mark Warburton couldn't get promoted from said championship.
14 May 2016 23:20:51
He was managing Sunderland and Warburton was managing Brentford.
Though statistics show Warburton was the most successful manager on a win rate basis (51%) that Brentford have had and he used just 24 players in the season you mention.
The team were beaten in play off semis after Warburton guided them to fifth place (highest placing since 1934-35) so he wasn't to far off the premiership.

Yes but Keane was managing Sunderland and MW was managing a team who'd just been promoted from league 1. You only have to look at how Brentford have done this season without him.

Much better squad though TP so not really comparable in that respect. Keane would be at the bottom of my list slightly ahead of Lennon, Mackay and the usual suspects such as Coyle. Would only be a matter of time before he fell out with someone and alienated himself from the club imo!

I think there are a few more resources available at Sunderland! Mind you Ronny would still struggle.

I know you are just fishing Poetic, but I'll bite.
Sunderland are and have always been an established team who are well off and have had a lot of success in the in the 2nd tier of English football in recent times. No doubt Keane done an ok job, but Warburton reached a height with a fairly average Brentford team which shouldn't have been possible, with a lot less resources.
In a nutshell, Warburton is a far better manager than Keane and will go much further in the game.

I didn't say he didn't have a better team. I didn't say the teams were comparable. I am/ was simply applying context. Fact is, he has had succes - and the original post claimed otherwise.
That said, I'd be wary of playing the "but he was managing x" card - otherwise you are indirectly removing any sense of accomplishment you may attribute to Warburton at Rangers.

Don't know what all the fuss is as it's the easiest job in football managing the old firm. Look at all the managers who have moved on after being successful up here. Smith hopeless, o Neil hopeless, mcleish hopeless, Strachan hopeless, Lennon hopeless. Only one I would say done well after leaving was advocate winning the uefa cup.
15 May 2016 12:26:07
Can honestly say I couldn't give a monkeys what's happening over there, would rather talk and read about my own club.
15 May 2016 14:11:13
Don't like to admit this but m oneil was hardly hopeless mate. He is/ was a top quality manager.
14 May 2016 23:01:20
I hope roy keane does get the celtic gig because imo warburton will wipe the floor with him and I truly believe that, keane isn't a good manager.

And, Walter Smith was invited to Everton's centenary dinner, as the guest of honour of the board and Bill Kenwright, and introduced to the stage as the man, without whom, Everton would not be where they are today, he kept them in the English Premier League, while forced to sell every first team player, inc, D Ferguson, he saved them from oblivion, and Everton are extremely grateful, if you don't, or, won't believe that then read Davie Weir or Bill Kenwrights books, Walter was given a 3 minute standing ovation, because some people understand football.
