Bruce 1,522 Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 I have no special insight into any of this but what it seems to me is this. Appointing Kieran Scott was the relaunch of the Golden Thread. Because Scott needed to be involved in choosing our next manager, wasn't free until September and so on, we couldn't appoint a replacement for Warnock in the summer so we went on a twin track approach. Warnock would give it his best to get us to the play-offs and would be supported as far as possible. He would also be responsible for integrating players bought/loaned for the new golden thread. The feeling clearly being that if we didn't get to the playoffs we would still be comfortably mid-table and that Warnock would leave once the play-offs were no longer possible and a new manager had been agreed. That has failed far earlier than anyone expected. Although the crowd hasn't turned yet it's not far from doing so. Presumably, also, we're still in the process of deciding on a new manager. If we're lucky, we might be able to appoint one in the next few weeks by accelerating the process. If not, we have a problem. Warnock and Gibson both know that Warnock is on borrowed time which means Gibson has a decision to make. Does he tough it out with Warnock for as long as it takes to bring in a new coach or does he put a caretaker like Graeme Lee in charge? You know what you will get with Warnock. Odds are he has enough of 'his' players to work with to prevent us from being completely sucked into a relegation battle. Warnock may of course walk if he feels it's no longer worth the grief. Put in a caretaker without a locked in replacement makes a relegation battle a real possibility if the caretaker is out of his depth. My feeling is that Gibson will try to keep Warnock on for as long as he can until he has a replacement and that any "compromise" will be that Warnock gets to do things his way and leaves when both sides agree. With the squad being such a mess right now, appointing someone might just ruin their start; having Warnock deal with it means he acts as a heatshield. Personally I would go with Graeme Lee and just try to drain the toxicity from the situation. I'm not sure that results would improve but providing that he can get a team on the pitch and coach them with a minimum of competence I think we'll be alright. 3 Link to post Share on other sites

Surely it makes sense to get someone in now use the rest of this season to transition and go for it next year, with someone who will keep the ball on the ground. yep and next season will be already set up by the guy after a good consolidation of the new footballing philosophy instilled into the players. lets be honest, it will take more than a few games to knock this style out of some of them. its so easy for any of us to just launch a ball high and long. instead of thinking to much on making angles to receive passes in tight areas.

TheHolgate 675 Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 Gibson hasn't been ruthless enough for me. This half way house of keeping Warnock whilst the rest of club is going in a different direction seems bizarre to me. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Warnock is going out of his way to hurt this man’s career, I just wish the club would let him go and get a manager who would use technically gifted players correctly 2 Link to post Share on other sites

It's Gibson all over though, loyal to his friends to an absolute fault, to the detriment of the club. He's blind to it for some reason. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
