Honestly, after Pulis, monk etc etc Warnock has done great picking up this mess with no money like Pulis and monk hadWould you be disappointed to see him change his mind and leave? Or would you secretly think it could be the right time. I like him and he’s done a good job overall here but I’m apprehensive about another season under him. It’s a tough one for me.
So do what exactly ?Therein lies the problem. Our 3 best players all seem to be injury prone, we just can’t rely on them to play anything like a full season for us.
On paper the team looks ok, but that team is never on the pitch.
I’m not whinging, I’m making an observation, it’s unfortunate but those 3 are injury prone and it’s difficult to build a team around them. Isn’t that fact worth considering?So do what exactly ?
sack the manager cos gibbo has no money ?
Stop whinging and get behind the lads!!
Since his long spell at Sheffield United, he's stayed at ....
Palace - 30 months
QPR - 22 months
Leeds - 14 months
Palace - 4 months
QPR - 1 month
Rotherham - 4 months
Cardiff - 37 months
I know a couple of those were caretaker roles, but (I think) he's walked, or not extended his contract, from all these jobs rather than being sacked
I can see him walking in October / November time if we're not storming the league ..... which we won't be
Monk was a long term plan, Woodgate was a long term plan. The problem with long term plans is that everyone has them until they get hit in the face.We are going to let him bring his own players in this summer (which judging by previous signings could be a disaster) for him to retire in the summer so the next manager will have another rebuild on their hands. Unless he gets us promoted next season which is extremely unlikely, then its just another season wasted for us.
I really thought he was the right manager for us, but the performances since January have been just as bad as what we saw under Woodgate, if we dont start next season well we could be even looking at relegation.
For years we have needed to bring someone in with a long term vision and give them time, these quick fix managers will just set us back long term.
Of course, anyway who “expects” promotion next season is on another planet. We can hope but we can’t expect.We’re clearly n a terrible state. The club needs a radical overhaul, on the football side, and his experience will be vital. Not going to be pretty football, his way, but I’m trusting he’ll turn us round. We have to be realistic. Promotion next season should be a Hope rather than an expectation
That’s what I mean, you can’t have a long term plan but sack the manager in less than a season if things aren’t going to plan. Admittedly our hand was forced with Woodgate, but sacking Monk 6 months into spending a fortune on his own players was a backwards stepMonk was a long term plan, Woodgate was a long term plan.

Perhaps sacking Monk was a mistake but it sounds more like appointing him in the first place was. Fans don’t seem to believe Gibson is very good at appointing managers so we might as well stick with the current one until he starts taking us backwards. Currently we’re doing significantly better than when he took over with us hovering above relegation.That’s what I mean, you can’t have a long term plan but sack the manager in less than a season if things aren’t going to plan.

No sorry, he doesn't. The squad wasn't that thin. We had injuries but with his full squad we were just ticking along, when he strengthened we went downhill.NW gets as much or more than can be eected from a very thin squad, which then runs out of steam. Nothing to see here, move on.
