Neil warnock

Apparently three experienced candidates will be interviewed this week. How naive are that club, surely they can see that to give them any chance of staying up they need to appoint a young "up and coming coach" that understand the "synergies" required for the project, and one that has never managed in the league previously - they could well regret their decision.

He'd give any club in their position a fighting chance. Dont think he offers much beyond that at this level anymore.

Not sure I agree. Reckon he'd be a better bet for Derby. Decent and getting teams up, not so sure about keeping them up.

He's not a great fit for Derby at the moment given the owners current philosophy of not wanting to get promoted!

He's had a great career up and down the leagues but I only see him as a fixer/adviser type these days.

I'm sure he could be in employment if he wanted to.

They're welcome to Colin.

That's what they need - a fighting chance. Somebody who can come in and give the team a quick fix (drugs excluded). They haven't got much money so I can't imagine any big name managers will apply, though there may be some on their forum saying David Moyes is interested

Ha! Yep, fair comment!

Warnock going there is bad new for us.  We could do without the proven results of Neil Warnock at this level and competing against us to stay up.  I'm sure he will give it a real good go, bringing in some tried and tested players who will play for him and know what's required. With Bolton hitting a bit more form, it is going to be extremely difficult to stay up.

 

I would have preferred appointing Warnock to the end of the season and then Lee Johnson for next season.

I reckon they will stay up with Warnock. It's what he does.

They have a better chance with him than many others although i think they should have stayed with Redfearn. Therefore marginally bad news for us.

I wonder if he is being provided with a Helicopter... Assuming he is confirmed.

I'm always slightly puzzled by the idea of Warnock as a great fire fighter to get you out of relegation trouble. I'm struggling to think of any teams he's parachuted into with 15 or so games to go and turned around. Can think of plenty of mediocre teams he got promoted having spent a bit of cash over the course of a season, as well as several (albeit at the level above) he got relegated. His two most recent 'proper' jobs (Leeds and Palace) have been poor and seen him sacked despite having more time and more resources than he'll have at Rotherham

Super- is this a baited hook?Surely?

 

Anyway, the Colin love in on here with some is equal in it's misguidance as 'let's slag off Lee' with others.

 

Talking of slagging off- What a complete prat this man is. Rotherham deserve better- Daryl Clarke for example, about time he went to a decent club.

This. Neil Warnock being seen as some sort of relegation saviour is a myth for me also... Was rubbish at Leeds as you said fairly poor at Palace too. With the shape and way Pembo has got us set up aslong as Lee Johnson runs with that (which im sure he will) i think we will be fine.

I admit that I thought he'd be just what we needed in the aftermath of the SC sacking shambles and it's poor timing. 

I don't really like the bloke, but despite his record he just seems to me to have something about him. 

I guess we'll see either way whether he is the man to pull through a relegation dog fight. I hope I'm wrong.

Relax, Warnock's a dinosaur.  His time has gone, if Rotherham take him, they'll be relegated.  I would've felt the same way if Warnock ended up here.

Completely agree, he's not found success in recent times. Their squad isn't great, personally can't see him keeping them up. The bottom three will be the bottom three at the end of season. Going to be tight, but confident well have enough to stay up - just !

He's younger than Arsene Wenger....funny how Arsene and Sir Alex aren't/weren't seen as dinosaurs because they are/were at massive clubs with massive budgets.

Yet an ageing Warnock (younger than both of them) is simply dismissed as a dinosaur....although you don't often see a T-Rex with seven promotions on his CV....

Well you were right about Bolton :whistle: time will tell if you are right about Warnock. Another sending off last night, they may run out players before he can complete their recovery.

3-3 at Derby.  There is no way he is going down without a fight and I hope it doesn't end up one of City or Rotheram.  Howard Webb, World Cup referee is a Rotheram fan and was on radio 5 live at the weekend.  Now he is retired and happens to be a Rotheram fan, he said post the Derby game that he is very happy that Warnock is in charge. 

I can't say I am! definitely should have managed City post GJ.

Could they possibly get a fine too if things continue? I know there are discipline fines for the club if too many players are booked in one match, not sure if there's anything about numerous sending offs

There must be surely, the overall disciplinary record must have consequences. The sending off was for 2 bookable offences too, so I think that was 5 in that game alone.

Roll on Tuesday, game of the season.  Good old Warnock is doing his job for sure, 16 points in the last 18.  We should be safe, but Warnock was always the sure bet for safety!

Not really. Charlton, Fulham and Bolton games were more important in my opinion.

I wanted warnock but wasn't disappointed when lee got it,a lot of people on here let there personal feelings towards Colin overshadow what was best for our club.as our owner did,as it stands warnock will keep Rotherham up no doubt about it because experience in this league is crucial,and I hope lee will keep us up,because if he doesn't and we struggle in league 1 then he will be sacked and we will be back to square 1

Short Term I think NW would have been better but long term for me I think we got it right. Obviously only time will tell

Rotherham are on fire right now and their fans will be loving it but where will they be next October/November? Probably somewhere around the bottom five or 6 in the Championship, wondering if they should fire the bloke that took over from Warnock (I think I'm right in saying Warnock is only there until the end of this season?) And then probably approaching Warnock again. They are merely fighting the inevitable.

We have more scope to do something in this league, or at least throw more money at it than them, but will we be in it to have a go? Still a lot for us to do.

If being a bit rough gets you results so what? Footballs a contact sport isn't it?

Lee Johnsons approach has seen us score more goals and no red cards. Yet Warnock gets his own thread of praise on here and LJ grief when we lose. Both have done equally good jobs yet some City fans continue to think we made the wrong decision. Truly bizarre to me.

there's no doubt Colin can be effective at times, but as a person I would not want him in charge of my club. 

Does personality matter? Yes of course it does. Having him here would be like having your favourite daughter eloping with Piers Morgan.

I agree it's bizarre that he has his own thread but to call his teams thugs is a bit mad really

Since he's arrived they've had 4 or maybe even 5 red cards. I don't think it's any coincidence.

Have you met Colin?  His football persona is an act, he is a very different personality away from the game.  Not sure he deserves the personal vilification he gets on here.

SAF gets treated like a deity, but he has been cantankerous and ignorant sod over the years - all in the course of protecting his team , something Colin is effective at.

We should have gone for Warnock to keep us up and to look at the situation in the summer. That was my opinion a couple of months ago and it still hasn't changed. 

 

You could argue that with LJ having been in charge during this relegation fight he will have learnt a lot about his players - who he can rely on, who might bottle it under pressure and such. He`ll also have had a good look at the loan players and will have some idea of whether we want them permanently or not. If the worst does happen, he`s got L1 experience (not that I think that will happen).

Wanted Colin before we signed Little Lee but happy with LJ. Had a feeling Warnock would get them going and he has. I would add a touch of caution for us and Rotherham in as much the race isn't over yet .....

I don't think meeting him would make any difference.  He can be very cheery when things are going his way but is very unpleasant when they're not, which I think is the true test of his character

Was mine at the time too, but I don't hate the alternative, being LJ. I like LJ, perhaps in the summer he'd have been one of my favoured picks given the realistic candidates  

At the time I wouldn't have had the cojones for appointing LJ. Even with 20:20 hindsight I'm not sure our board ought to have had the cojones for it at the time. It leaves me with genuine question marks about just how high stakes they might go, whether that's reasonable and/or 'proper'.

I was never anti-LJ - I thought he could do a good job- but even if he has/had a Midas touch, theres still question marks about whether our board acted reasonably given what was on the line.
