Warrington departs

Quoted from promotion plaice

Agree with this but didn't Bignot try to make changes and there was a revolt allegedly.

Not saying this will happen under Jolley.

Difference is, MJ knows what he’s doing.

Sorry to see him go, To understand his contribution look at last seasons POTY and how his game has vastly improved in the last few seasons.

I'd go as far as saying if this had been announced 4 or 5 weeks ago then we may well have been seeking a new first choice keeper.
I get the impression that McKeown likes to be settled, comfortable and relaxed and that includes working with someone he knows, likes and appreciates.
The new guy may not have the instant rapport and that could upset Macca. Not everyone needs a kick and taking out their comfort zone, some need continuity.

intercourse knows why this post deserves red crosses. Maybe there's an antipathy towards a bit of grown up balance.

But you very rarely see continuity in lower league football - coaching teams are always chopping and changing. Surely a big part of being a professional footballer is being adaptable?!?

Or maybe people are thinking Macca is a professional who's worked under a number of management teams and will actually just get on with it and not let a change in coach affect him too much!!

Yea, if Macca only signed because of AW our issues are far greater than we ever thought. I would imagine JM has signed because he believe in what’s happening around the club currently and wants to be part of it after a very up and down 6 years with us.

I’m sure AW was only a tiny part of why Macca signed a new deal. A higher wage (I assume), a 3 year deal, and keeping his family settled in the area would have been far higher on his reasons to stay when you listen to his interviews.

As others have said, Warrington seems a good bloke, but how much has Macca improved in the last few years? Probably a bit but he has always been a superb shot stopper, his weakness has always been commanding his box, and that has probably got a little better but is still not good enough to make a keeper who can go much higher imho.

He is still young in keeping terms though and if he did improve on that then he certainly has the other attributes to play at a higher level, ideally with us.

The club is always greater than the sum of its players, I'm sure that warrow as Macca calls him can and will be replaced life goes on

Three words:

BACK

STEVIE

Coming up to retirement age now and hung his gloves up in 1998...not sure he would be suitable for the task....but i believe he still lives locally so fits the MJ brief.
