Re the OP, Warnock is here for another season, he knows it’s his last as a manager, he will get us closer or in to the playoffs. But hopefully he can also help guide SG to a great pathway for the future with his wealth of experience, knowing he’s not finishing with the sack like so many others. He can give advice unreservedly based on his massive experience.
He‘s achieved well with what he’s had so far (no striker and injuries) there’s no real reason there’ll be no improvement with some new players and an actual crowd.
You HOPE he won't finish by being sacked. If he can't arrest the slide he will be sacked though, and there's where it all goes wrong because he'll have brought in a lot of new players during the summer. I think on balance it would be better if he went now, so the cub can find someone new, with his own ideas.
