So Warnock is preparing for a big game against West Brom and is notified by someone that he could be on his way. Gibson then phones him to tell him the news which he already knows.
The club later announce that Neil has left by mutual consent which is a blatant lie confirmed by Warnock who is disappointed and didn't want to leave.
Warnock is very reluctant to criticise Gibson and I believe his comments are directed at Neil Bausor (no doubt Warnock will explain more over the coming days on Talksport etc). Gibson is still the man at the top who employs Bausor in his role so if he's not up to it then that falls at Gibson's door to address it.
I may be wrong but I think Warnock has possibly been suggesting players who are a bit older with championship experience, probably wanting a decent contract but with little or no sell on value for the club due to their age. This no doubt was a total contrast to the vision of Scott who is trying to find hidden gems who can make the club a lot of money in the future but also do a very good job while they're here (Buendia, James Maddison are good examples of this at Norwich).
Bausor has no doubt been the middle man who hasn't had the balls to say to Warnock, we don't agree with you wanting to sign that player, so instead has just waited until other clubs came in and got deals over the line for his targets. Hence the extracting teeth comment from Warnock.
Personally, moving forward as a club I believe Scott's ideas and philosophy are the way to go. That's proven by the fact Norwich are currently sat in the premier league and we're nowhere near. However our handling of this all seems very poor and it's a poor way to treat Neil Warnock who I personally think seems like a decent bloke. He breaks the record for the most games in management and then finds out he could be on his way on the morning of the following game (via the press). That is very very poor from Boro and I feel embarrassed as a supporter.
Thanks for your efforts Neil. It's been great to see someone with your passion (especially at the age of 72!) managing our club and I have no doubt if it wasn't for you, we could well be sat in League 1 right now with the mackems. All the best for the future.
