How many on here wanted Warnock after Woodgate went, dont think it was a lot.
Bet its 100% now though.

I really wanted him to succeed - he wasn't a player I thought would make the jump into management. But I saw a completely different side to him when he returned for his second spell at Middlesbrough. He was highly responsible and focussed and listening to him you could hear how he had distilled so much information and influences and knew exactly what he wanted to do. He had a plan. I also loved the way he really cared about Middlesbrough, the club, the town, the players, the people. And that matters to me.
I found him to be a very good communicator. Very friendly, open and likeable, despite all the negativity surrounding him. Much of that was his own fault and much of it wasn't. People constantly spread rumours about him that seemed so wide of the mark. I knew from talking to a former reporter in Newcastle or the parent of a youngster at Hurworth that they both had Woodgate marked down as very special with his knowledge and ways he could put it across. The report he gave that youngster before his debut for the U23s is the most detailed and practical I have ever heard. And again what that parent and what the reporter said was here was a player (and he was just a player at the time) who watched everyone in his club and thought carefully about their development.
Hopefully as Warnock said this week, Woodgate bounces back someday having added further knowledge from this experience because I believe he could go on to achieve big things just as Southgate has. Woodgate is the not the football person or indeed the person that many people take him for. He has a lot to offer in football.

This 'Agenda' Woodgate had no experience of being a footballer manager. The fans wanted an experienced manager to come in an get us promoted to the premier league. Not accepting that he was inexperienced and putting forward his 3 years of coaching down is embarrassing.Here’s the clip below.
I didn’t think it was possible to dislike him more than I already do, but here we are.
The bloke was just totally and utterly incompetent, out of his depth and should never have got the job.
If it wasn’t for Neil Warnock being parachuted in and salvaging the mess he left, I have no doubt whatsoever that we’d be in League One this season.
Will rightfully go down as the worst manager in MFC history.

Have to disagree with that, in his interviews he came across as extremely arrogant and very disrespectful towards the people asking him questions.
Awful quality in a person to try to belittle someone in the way he often did to someone who was just doing her job. Only made one person look daft and it wasnt the reporterYes the lady reporter from sky he was rude to on more then one occasion. If anyone dared questions his tactics he just became arrogant and deluded. There is a theme here

If Woody was still here we'd likely be struggling at the wrong end of League 1 rather than 4 points off the top of the Championship.
It is amusing that he uses Klopp taking a few years to win the league as an example as to why he needed more time. My memory isn't what it was but I can't seem to remember Klopp taking Liverpool to the brink of League 1.
He calls it an agenda but it wasn't. Most on here didn't want him as it was likely he would fail. After the Luton away most fans got behind him too.Here’s the clip below.

Yeah. Its like saying Ferguson needed 7 years to turn United into Champions. Woody was never turning us into promotion contenders, I really don't think. We'd have been relegated before he did that.If Woody was still here we'd likely be struggling at the wrong end of League 1 rather than 4 points off the top of the Championship.
