Surely Neil taught him everything he knows?

Funny you should say that....

 

Quote Rob Page.....

 

Although Jackett and Taylor had an early influence on Page during his early years as a professional, it was current Cardiff City manager Neil Warnock who recognised the leadership qualities in him. “The team spirit that we had in the changing room he created, and the man-management that he had to deal with different players is something that I have taken on board as well. You can't throw a blanket on all the players now, each individual player is totally different."

Alex, I’m surprised you haven’t claimed blades credit for Robert Page’s success, lol.

No doubt they’ll name a stand after him at some point ...🤣

Much better to have the name of someone who knows football rather than some egoistical clown who asks his 12 year old son for advice.

He stayed for 10 years at Man City I'm sure he didn't spend those years with Man Citys excellent backroon staff tutting and saying how small he looks, you had a finished academy product gave him a first team chance then hardly played him.

He was at the club for 2 years before he was given a chance in the first team. 

He was at the club a year before given a professional contract. 

 

He joined the Sheffield United academy when he came here and is therefore a product of the academy. That can not be disputed as a fact.

Absolute nonsense, he spent ten years at one of the best run clubs in the country, united bulked him up for L1 and that was it, no more no less.

 

If your applying the same logic to the other players none of them got into international sides for what they did at United but for what they did after they left so you can scrub them out as well.

Best run clubs? Man City? 

If it wasn't for them sponsoring themselves ridiculous amounts, they would be massively in debt. They're debt free as they are bank rolled - not because of how they are run. 

 

And quite right, those who are in the international teams, it is because of their form for their current teams. We helped in the past - but they progressed. 

Just like brooks massively progressed in our academy.
