Neil Warnock gives Smithies 10 out of 10

[1973 ranger]

Our best player by a long long way and deserves better than to have to play behind our defence week after week.

Ol Neil's a shrewd one. Big, big, big, big mistake passing on him in favour of that total f acking #####, Jimmy.

I'm sure we didn't go with Warnock due to our DOF. People keep telling me what a great job he's doing - I think he's a complete liability. Team looks toothless up front with a leaky defence - AGAIN FFS!!! Midfield looks sorted though - so 1 out of 3 fixed in how many seasons? 14k for our opening game and then 12k for the Hull game (then 7k for a cup game against local rivals)....the fans are voting with their feet. Empty seats all around the ground plus the atmosphere (last few minutes v Hull apart) is like a morgue. I guarantee he'll never be DOF for another PL or Championship club ever. Just us. That's how good he is in the role.

Northolt. Who gave him the job? The same chairman who apparently has had his strides taken down by everyone since he took over. He CHOSE Ferdinand so the buck stops at his door completely! 10 years ago this summer since the takeover and we are heading back to where we were before it happened.

Wouldn't surprise me if our board asked warnock to put smithies in the shop window

With the same manager!

Indeed Northolt. To be fair while no fan of Holloway and even less of his assistant I actually think he is doing ok with what he has at his disposal.

That's not totally out of the question to be fair.

[1973 ranger]

Hope he does as we may get what he is worth.

[acricketer]

Hope he goes. Makes us look like capable of surviving.

Yep

What on earth were the club thinking? Seriously??

I'm not saying he's Sir Alex Ferguson, but any person with a brain knows he's a safe bet in this division to fire up a team and get them competing.

Going with JFH has to be LF's single biggest mistake, bigger than the P.E. teacher as that was more Uncle Bungle IMO.

We reap what we sow!

Our best player by a mile surprised no one's made an offer yet? but there's still 3 days to go !!

To be fair we don't know Neil was available then as didn't he have issues with his wives health?

Warnock was available to do it full time when Ramsey was sacked and wanted the job, but was is common knowledge is that he wasn't prepared to have the DOF lording over him, and told him so in the dressing room at a game when the DOF went in and was asked by N.W what he was doing in there as he (N.W) picked the team and the DOF was asked to leave , and so the DOF influenced T.F. to look elsewhere rather than have Neil Back, because the DOF's position would've been weakened, self preservation by the DOF, rather than the best candidate,

ok, that's interesting.
Given that, it is not surprising how it panned out. Probably 99% of us in the DOF's position would have done the same then.
I am not saying I wouldn't have liked to see NW back by the way.
