Warnock on TalkSPORT in a minute

Didnā€™t once think about leaving as they were ā€œhis ladsā€ and heā€™s left a great dressing room.

Bamba and Peltier weā€™re not supposed to really play this season and brought in as emergency replacement and to get them ready for coaching full time.
 
Still plans to retire at the end of the season, but is open to a short term appointment as a rescue job.
 
He said how Wilder said that the club had a mountain to climb, but Warnock compared it to being more of a cable car ride.

You can appreciate Warnock's side of the situation in that we are just a few points outside the top-six, and both have injured players coming back, and the January window to reinforce the squad. He'll be unhappy for Wilder to take all credit if we do get into the playoffs. I expect the 'mountain to climb' comment really irked him.

It also sounds like Warnock has known a lot more about the move to replace him. Reading between the lines, it was only the timing that really took him by surprise, as he knew it was imminent. I expect that he thought results would save him. Perhaps he approached the Mail even. :D
 
I believe Warnock could be a little like Nigel Pearson at Leicester... put the groundwork in for Wilder to build on - I guess you can say that about any club when a manager changes though

The Pearson comparison is a bit of a stretch - not saying we're gonna win the Premier League haha

I like Simon Jordan but as a football chairman he sucked. Maybe too honourable a man to run a football club, buying it with no land asset and presiding over the Club's slide into administration.

He clearly knew, and knew it was Wilder. I don't get the timing issue. If we had sacked him after teh match he would have complained that he didn't get to say goodbye to the fans. There is no right time and right way to be sacked in football, you just have to be a man and take it on the chin.

Probably, like a gambler throwing his final chips on red, convinced that he can still end the night with a profit.
 
He should go to the Mackems to replace that snake oil salesman they currently employ. He would get them up and wouldn't talk about their USP .
 
Wilder mentioned ā€˜climbing the mountainā€™ in terms of getting into the Premier League, not that the Boro job in itself is a mountain to climb. Heā€™s already talked about the shape things are in and how heā€™s walking into a good set-up.

While Warnock was wanging on about how saves and penalties not being given cost us(him) being in 4th place, did he happen to mention where we mightā€™ve been if the referee had given Peterborough a penalty at the Riverside a few weeks back?
 
Of course he knew it was coming .. all the talk from the ITKs a few weeks back at the last international break hinted at it being imminent .. They probably agreed then that it was going to happen once he hit the milestone a game or two back
 
@Cress so I guess listening to that, the fact he knew he was saying goodbye has allowed him an emotive life affirming experience.....I guess he wouldn't have had that if we had told him after the game and he spent today packing his bags and leaving via the back door.

He's sore about getting the chop, but that's football. The club did what they were entitled to do, and didn't do some criminal activity in letting him know it was his last game in charge, most people don't get that.
 
Shame he didn't mention our abysmal form since January last year, or the abject performances this season against QPR, Coventry, Blackpool, Reading, Hull or Birmingham, all of whom we should be beating if we are serious about going up. That is the reason he's gone.

I like Warnock, and he did a good job of keeping us up after Woodgate, but lets not pretend he's been done over by Gibson and Boro.

Also, I fully expect most of HIS signings will be gone in the near future, maybe in January, namely Ikpeazu, Olusanya, Ameobi. The likes of Peltier will be here until the end of the season. I wouldn't be surprised to see a new keeper come in too.
