| Key Difference between Marti & Warnock IMO 05:18 - Oct 11 with 2223 views | macclesfieldman |
Both Managers joined us when we were fighting relegation and both Managers kept us up.
The following summer Warnock signed Derry, Hill Kenny, Mackie, Orr, Helguson and added the diamond Tarabt. Players with fight and Championship experience.
We were promoted as Champions.
This summer we signed players with decent stats from around Europe with no Championship experience and not much fight.
I admit I went into this season feeling positive and excited and expected us to be mid table possibly challenging for Top6
In hindsight it looks as if our transfer strategy was flawed. We need a couple of Colback type signings to fight for points.

Wonder if we could have kept Ainsworth purely for player recruitment and Marti coach those players? |  | | |

Warnock was given a huge amount of money to spend to build a promotion battling squad, way more than Marti's squad has had spent on it.
In 2010-11 we were the second biggest spenders in the division on wages, and had a once in a generation talent in Adel Taarabt (who was only with us because of his own flaws) to make the difference between being another side challenging for the top 6, and one that was comfortable champions.
Ridiculously unfair to compare the two. |  | | |

Agree that Warnock isn’t the low spending shoestring genuius he’s made out to be, but winning a league is always tough even when you have the ammunition (see Leeds).
He also won that league navigating Briatore and the avalanche of shit that Paliadini brings to the table.
He also gelled that squad together which would have been tough.
I don’t think Marti would have won the league in 2011 but I also don’t think Warnock would have kept us up last year.
13 years is also a long time ago. |  | | |

In answer to the OP, Warnock didn't sign Helguson, he was already at the club when he took over but was out on loan at Watford. |  |

Warnock was also able to add strikers as back up like Clarke and Rob Hulse. And when his team began to wane a bit, he brought in Routledge, Ishmael Miller, and Tommy Smith. That's after he'd already loaned in Kyle Walker. Just... wow. [Post edited 11 Oct 11:06]
