I'm sure you're not the only one there, mate and fair play to you. You don't owe the club your support during this time. It's up to them to win you back, really. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

I kind of agree with you on that a little but that surely means Warnock is the right man to be in charge now? For this season? Because realistically, that's how long it took to get Scott in charge. It was too late for this season but realistically, this football club is already a few years late transitioning to this model of club anyway. There's a lot that this club needs to do to get onto the right footing as a modern team. I'd not be surprised if there was at least a year's worth of work on Scott's hands before he should be picking the next manager. We're probably not going anywhere with Warnock in charge but I've said all along that there needs to be a long-term plan in place and if that plan has to officially start in a month's time then so be it. As you say, that's too late to hire a new manager for this season which means we absolutely don't need to be messing about appointing someone off the cuff. Let Warnock do the best he can this season, if by some miracle he takes us up, big kudos to him and his staff and we move on from him. If he doesn't, we still move on from him. He is a safe pair of hands if nothing else. And that's probably what we need whilst Scott works his magic behind the scenes. Someone to take the pressure off Scott's job for the first 12 months. Maybe Scott already has the guy in mind he wants to get in. It's not like he hasn't been doing a very similar job at Norwich. If that was the case then get him in now let them work together this season building a plan for next summer. We're just treading water with Warnock. Wasting another year of Fry and Tavs contracts, killing enthusiasm for the majority of fans. Link to post Share on other sites
White Band 831 Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 Yes for this season because he will keep us steady in the Championship. I fully expect some clubs to fail as the financial impacts of the pandemic bite. Once things have settled down will be the time to push on under a new manager. I don't think anyone we could realistically attract at the moment would do better under the budget constraints. My priority at the moment is for the club to survive. 4 Link to post Share on other sites

Seriously, you are so negative chap. We are all entitled to our opinion but we played 1 game and drew and then lost tonight. Yeah it’s crap we got beat 3-0 but all the sack him stuff is mental. Think longer term than this season and you’ll be ok. Go have a cup of tea. 3 Link to post Share on other sites

Soooo... get rid of Warnock because Scott might have the guy in mind? I don't even think that's a realistic expectation, why would he be sat looking up a manager who's a good fit for us whilst he's working for Norwich? Surely that's a conflict of interest? That's not the only thing Scott needs to sort out either. He's got quite the job on his hands to sort out and change to something he's happy with. He's the head of football, not just the head of recruiting a manager. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Rat catcher 293 Posted August 11, 2021 Author Share Posted August 11, 2021 Negative..........One shot on goal against Blackpool who had numerous changes. Against Fulham DROSS for 75 mins. played well for 15 mins. So we play well for 15 mins in 90mins. Not negative just see it how it is. Link to post Share on other sites

Sick to death of being boring Boro. The fans hounded Karanka out, the scenes at Stoke were embarrassing. That set the ball rolling. Agnew was always temporary. Monk was a disaster in so many ways, as was Pulis (both on Gibson). Many fans wanted Woody to be given a chance, amazing but true. They were won over by the fake talk of ajax lite footy. Warnock was wanted by many fans, myself included and saved the club from disaster. The wasted parachute money spent under Monk and Pulis broke the bank. Who sanctioned it all I wonder. Mistakes were not all Pulis and Monks for me. Fans set the dominoes falling on 04/03/17. In 2016, most were hoping for 17th that PL season but many fans lost sight of the bigger picture, along with the Chairman who seemingly feared a drop in attendances had he not acted, instead he gave the keys to the safe to Monk and sacked him 5 months later. We’ve paid the price ever since and still are to some extent. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

I cant remember any screams on here for Woodgate to be given the job, or Warnock for that matter apart from maybe @Blanco who has some sick fascination with dull football. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

We played against the league favourites on Sunday & basically played our U23s tonight. At least give it a few games before you wet the bed mate. 2 minutes ago, Dan1234 said: It's a big assumption to make that he has no portfolio of suitable managers now.

He'd completely lost the plot by January of the Prem season. If anything, he should have gone sooner. I hate to say it but I stuck by him right until the end because he did so much for us as a club to get us out of this division but retrospectively looking at that time, there was absolutely nothing of the spirit or the commitment in that Prem squad that there was in the team that he took us up with and he was a big part of that. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
