Don't buy that at all.  I don't see Warnock being enticed back to management with a nice 14th placed finish in mind.

This makes more sense than anything

Hi guys! PAOK fan here from Greece. You are getting a really hard worker in Akpom. He is a top lad and a good professional. When he first came, he was considered a bench player. It was the 2018-19 sea

Morsy nearly done

Williams fee nearly agreed. 1.75million rising to 2.5 (So 1.75 then 😂).

Gibbo is weird wont deal with agents but appoints two of the most corrupt managers in england

Of course he deals with agents or rather the club does.  I think he has previously had certain things to say about them but we've always dealt with agents.

I just can't see why Warnock would move from one end of the country to another for a short term job with absolutely no ambition to achieve anything.  I suppose we could be paying him an absolute fortune, and he's just here for the money, but it doesn't feel like that to me.

seen alot of post of people saying "dont worry most clubs arnt signing people", here the problem with that.  we have the joint smallest squad in the championship, only level with wycombe, and heres why our situation is worse, of the  20 players in the squad, 9  are 22 years old or younger. in fact were the 3rd youngest squad in the championship.

So were not only the smallest squad in the league, but also one of the youngest, add to this the fact we barely survived relegation last season and were one of the lowest scoring teams. we've lost 9 players who were in an around the first team and brought in one. From my prospective the outlook is pretty worrying.

 finally, all though i agree all clubs are in the same situation and struggling in the market currently,, the situation and set up differs from club to club, and i dont think theres a club in the league in worse situation than Middlesbrough right now, couple this with our poor track record of signings over the last few seasons and i see no cause for optimism.

I don't think it is though.

I'm just kidding. I kind of agree with you, its hard to see Warnock coming out of retirement to make up the numbers. It was just a different way of looking at it.  

I suppose we'll see in the next few weeks how ambitious we are.

See a lot of people saying other clubs haven't acted. Well Coventry City have just signed Tyler Walker on a permanent, making that their 7th transfer already. They have one of the most highly rated Head of Recruitment's in the country in Chris Badlan.

All their 7 signings have an average age of 22.4. They will be an exciting team to watch next season. I wish we had ambition like that and a backroom staff capable of pulling off signings of young promising players.

Yeah thats it

I've no doubt he's earning a bit of dosh here but why waste so much money on one year of Neil Warnock? It makes no sense if the whole reason he's here is to get us through cutting costs. Exactly the same way it didn't make sense when we paid Pulis a fortune to do it.

Just seen your other response, nvm hah.
