I believe that Neil Warnock is a stubborn, proud bloke who has wanted to go down in history as the only manager to win 8 promotions. I also know he could have gone elsewhere but chose Leeds because he could be a legend if he got us up. he has nailed his colours to the mast by telling us we will have a new team next season capable of going for promotion. So far we got pearce as promised, but have seen what happened next when we couldn't raise £400k for the next player. Snoddy, Ross and White will all leave if we don't show ambition and bring in quality players, and Warnock knows that. Clayton listed as well, So why would he hang around with a team that was even worse than last seasons garbage and will be battling relegation instead of promotion. I think he'll be gone soon if no money is given to him.
I thnk he will walk, but not sure on timing. He will do his damnedest to try and get money out of bates and harvey and think he might give himself through August and into the loan window before he tells Bates to FO. So a Yes, just not as quick as you suggest
No question. Of course he'll walk.... unless he believes that new owners are just round theoner & they'll back him. He doesn't need the hassle. We're likely to be his last job. So why would he stay if Bates isn't going to back him?
Warnock should have gone to Huddersfield if he wanted the record of 8 promotions as he would obviously have had a great chance the season just gone and if he'd failed they'd have been strong favourites to achieve it in his supposed last year of management. Obviously the size of Leeds and the fact that it would be another promotion to the top tier would be a far greater achievement, but is he really so deluded to think he can get a club more interested in profits than points promoted? Did he think Grayson was selling our best players and replacing them with loans and free transfers for a laugh?
You don't eat with a tiger and expect not to be the main course, so he must have known what was coming. Plus he will make a fortune on his Autobiography after 12 months with all the secrets...
I think Warnock knew 100% what to expect, and thats why he has a clause in his contract stating that if he doesn't get financial backing he can go. He's a shrewd operator and has experience of this with his time at the blades and especially at palace under the other iodiot who liked the sound of his voice in the media. A few fall-outs with owners is something he expects and especialy with Bates. If this buy-out/investment deal is going to happen, it will need to be soon, because I can't see him waiting until the january window to bring in players. he would have to take a few off the transfer list as it is, and he knows relegation would be on the cards. Bates need to cough up, because he must know Warnock will go out with a fanfare in the media, and Bates won't want that.
No doubt he would have took them up as Grayson just has so he would already have the record and would be aiming for a 9th
I thinl Neil will & should walk as Grayson should have walked when the restraints were put on him also !!! I said last pre season that Cpn Birdseye would not want to get promotion , no matter what the financial benefits were , he would not want to pay a penny of someone elses debt out of priniciple , the court cases prove that !! Buisness is just a game of one upmanship to his type , the type that says to be in buisness you need to be a bas'tard to succeed ............. If this takeover does not succeed this time, prepare for administration ,because thats where we will end up !!! once Leeds Utd are no longer a cash cow to Bates , he wont just sign over to someone else, i feel he will totally asset strip the club to it's barebones & feed it to the vultures !!! It's Now or Never !!! Time to draw that Line in the sand !! All fans should stand with L.U.S.T !!!! they are our only hope obi wan ........... if you know what i mean !!!
