I just couldn't see us staying up so I'm very grateful to Warnock! I think it would have been a slog but I don't think it is as impossible as some are making out. You just never know. That Swansea performance was awful but so were all of the home games since that too. And we had just beaten Charlton before the break, we don't know how we would have performed against the likes of Hull and qpr if he'd stayed. Anyway, it doesn't really matter because we'll never know for sure. Let's just enjoy whats sure to be a really interesting summer one way or another and start a fresh next season.

Mr_Maz 2,899 Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 Warnock didn't sound like he could commit to a full time managers position. Link to post Share on other sites

It's a big decision at this point in his life and his families lives to move to the other end of the country for maybe a year or two at most. He's football through and through so there will be part of him that wants to obviously. See what happens after Gibson and him have had a chat about it. Gibson might make him an offer he can't refuse.

Weasel 966 Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 (edited) I've definitely warmed to the idea of Warnock next season, at least we know he'll do a solid job. Otherwise we have to rely on Gibson and the boys to make a good decision, which terrifies me. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Gibson sat looking at the wage bill, perhaps after Clayton has left he's gonna be willing to get Uncle Tony on the phone? 😱 Link to post Share on other sites

One last hurrah for you and all of that. If we get promoted over that period and you want to stay on then you stay on. It would be tempting for him I bet. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
LinoJo3 3,191 Posted July 23, 2020 Author Share Posted July 23, 2020 Depends what type of role he’s going to take, if it’s a pulis style 3 day week or whatever he was doing then it’s a no from me. I know for certain though that Gibson will offer him the job. Not inside info just that’s how gibson works Link to post Share on other sites
scotty189 932 Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 Got to hope warnock takes the job at least for a season, if he doesn't who we taking instead. Unrealistic - Gerrard Sensible - Pearson Wildcard - Mowbray Warnock for me all day long though. Link to post Share on other sites
TeaCider24 12,646 Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 I want it to be Warnock. He'll go down as a hero if he rides off in to the sunset though. Link to post Share on other sites

The only person who could compete with that is possibly Pearson but he is not quite a Warnock is he? Like others get the impression that it will not be happening which is a shame. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Tobermory 101 Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 If Warnock can't commit to a full-time role, how likely is it that he will end up advising Woodgate? I don't like Warnock, but I can see us challenging for the play-offs if he stays on. If it isn't Warnock, then we need a fresh start, someone who can commit to 3 years and someone who isn't Woodgate. Bielsa has shown that the right manager can make the difference at this level, just as Karanka did with us. Link to post Share on other sites

Alongside Clayton's comment that Woodgate would've been ok with an adviser. Link to post Share on other sites
