HitchinRed Posted February 13, 2023 Share Posted February 13, 2023 Thé BBC report that he has been appointed until the end of the season and is the club’s 5th permanent boss in less than 3 years.

Bris Red Posted February 13, 2023 Share Posted February 13, 2023 Certainly seems to be a bit of desperation down at the bottom now doesn’t there, for Blackpool to go for a pretty washed up McCarthy and now Huddersfield taking an ageing Warnock out of retirement..

bcfcredandwhite Posted February 14, 2023 Share Posted February 14, 2023 I admire Warnock. His record speaks for itself. I can’t help feeling that the fire has gone out though - he’s not as feisty and ranty as he used to be (probably a good thing considering his age) and his passion was a big part of his success at getting the absolute best out of ‘inferior’ players. It can’t be good for a 74 year old to be in one of the most stressful jobs around though. I will keep my eye on Huddersfield’s results with interest.
