This season is going to be very very difficult to get anything out of I would think, Warnock or not.
Terry would make me nervous, as well as being an utter bell end, he’s also a thick chav and I would question if he has anything like the temperament to make a successful manager. It would be such a ridiculously risky appointment. |
Agree with the first bit, and personally think you try to get the right manager for project now rather than postpone it.
On JT, I think he is one of those who will work hard enough and be smart enough to surround himself with good people (Jon Harley one I've heard) like Lampard has done. But yep, very risky - but give me over a Neil Harris to be fair as struggle to get excited |  |

The coaching staff is the big thing.
Harley working in Chelsea youth setup, so would be much like Lampard bringing his Chelsea boys with him, Jody Morris and Chris Jones.
If Terry can just get together a backroom set up with people within the Chelsea setup that is certainly a bonus for us (supposing he was to get the job) maybe people he worked with at Villa? [Post edited 12 Dec 2021 22:22]

What’s the point in that? As someone else said, Warnock isn’t going to come in here, wave a wand and we all of sudden get promoted.
If that’s the case I’d rather a) have kept Cook or b) leave McGreal in till end of season. |
No one said anything about promotion? We're NINE points adrift, I think that ships sailed and if it hasn't, he's probably one of the best qualified.
Alot of other potential targets don't appear to be interested in joining a mid table L1 side NINE points odd the play offs |  |

Assault and affray.
Exposure.
Criminal damage.
Adultery.
Racist abuse (allegedly).
Bribery.
Plenty of other drunken misdemeanours and that’s before we get to the lineage of his thieving parents or adulterous brother indirectly responsible for his best mate’s suicide.
If people have an issue with Norwood’s indiscretions, this would be a disaster. |  |

Exactly then, what’s the point in appointing someone who will be off in 6 months time? Makes absolutely no sense what so ever. |  |

Given the dire situation we are in and the options seemingly available then begrudgingly I now feel Warnock would make sense.
We've gone further downhill with each of our recent appointments and he'd seem the obvious candidate to at least stop the rot in the short term. |  | | |

It really depends on a couple of things.... 1) can the board get the man they want now and 2) is promotion this season at all costs what the board really want?
None of us know the answer to these, but in either case... for 1) if they can't get the person that they want in now, you might as well give it to a person with a proven track record for the remainder of the season in the hope that we can recruit from a better position in the summer and give us the best chance of salvaging something from our season.
if 2) then see 1.
Ultimately, it is not what I want. I want the right manager in place to take us forward, but if that's not possible at this time, then absolutely get in the person who is going to give you the best chance (no matter how slim) of being in a better position next year for recruitment. Then promotion or not, spend the next 6 months putting the management team in place that the board actually wants to take us forward.
Like I say, I really hope they are going to surprise us with the appointment, because otherwise, why even sack off Cook at all? [Post edited 12 Dec 2021 22:45]

Not Pro level but I’ve done a number of coaching qualifications, up to UEFA B and coached at league 1 and championship clubs. How many players do you know that have attempted them and not passed? Time consuming, yes, demanding yes, but they aren’t intellectually difficult.
My point was more around emotional intelligence though. The sort of racist moron who sleeps with his teammates partners, good luck to the bloke in management. It would be a ridiculous appointment. |  |

Crikey, that's desperate not wanting him because of something his parents have done. |  |

I was reading something about him once, and how basically the banter isn’t allowed to include him getting stick when at Chelsea, it just didn’t wash at all - may be respect but way it was written made it sound like it wasn’t. | |

Phenomenal player, incredible defender, lion of a footballer and a born winner. I can see why he was an amazing captain, but as Keane proved it’s a very different kettle of fish being a manager. Everything I’ve seen and heard of him just doesn’t strike me as manager material. His depth of thought, humility, or lack of. It’s got car crash written all over it, but I do fear our owners will want a ‘big name’. I really don’t want Harris either but I would rather have him than Terry, surely he’s the value bet of the 2. | |

I’d take him above Harris, Bircham or Terry. Lennon or Neil for that matter.
He will probably get us promoted. Anything but pointless. |
I was moving to the point of accepting him (edit for clarity - I mean Warnock) just to stop the rot before Saturday's point at Wigan, but since McGreal managed to do that with his preparedness to be flexible & change things during that game, I'd say let JM carry on for a while to see how it goes, Gamechanger can always interview him along with other candidates when making the final decision.
I don't keep up with managerial careers, but haven't seen Chris Hughton (edited, had got surname wrong) mentioned in all this & am wondering why? [Post edited 13 Dec 2021 18:00]

I think his long list of indiscretions far outweigh anything his scum bag family have done so it’s immaterial. | |

The way I see it, if Mings was ok to be involved under his coaching then he can’t be all bad.
If he were to come here and be a success I’m sure nobody would mention his past. And as was said on here before, didn’t even SBR have his fair share of moments with other women? | |

I don't understand why people can't see this.
If promotion is highly unlikely, surely it's better to double down on our new long-term coach NOW rather than kick the can down the road for another six months?
I just cannot believe our best options are Neil Harris and Neil Warnock. Surely there has to be a more forward-thinking move we can make? I swear to god, I'm praying Ashton is allowing talk of Harris and Warnock to get out to point the media in the opposite direction.... I fear he's not as smart as that, though. |  | | |
