    Assuming Nige isn’t able to overcome COVID and return to take over the helm, who should be our next “Gaffer”.

    Ryan Lowe would be a good prospect for me ~
    Style of management
    Lowe's managerial style has been influenced by Jürgen Klopp, Pep Guardiola, Rafa Benítez and Lowe's long-time friend Steven Gerrard, among others.[3] He is attack-minded, and Bury in 2018-19 were one of the Football League's highest-scoring teams; their style, described as "gung-ho",[3] soon brought success as the club finished second in League Two and earned promotion back to League One.[35] Lowe explained in an interview with The Guardian that he wanted to instil a "winning philosophy" and that, by outscoring their opponents, Bury would have a greater chance of achieving that goal. The on-field strategy is effectively a 3-1-4-2 formation.[3]

    Really think it will be Mr average again and the excitement off a Top manager like NP would be history.
    I just hope NP comes back fighting fit and firing on all cylinders.
    There is so much gone on in the background to turn this football club around by Nige in a short time all to be wasted.

    Great shout but I don't think we could afford him, he won't look at us, he is on Norwich shortlist and I bet a few other struggling Premier sides.

    Just about to say the same, would be good, but no chance he’d come here

    Wrong players for his type of football IMO, not sure it would be a quick fix..

    He would bring in his own bunch of cloggers on a free - like he did Sol Bamba to Cardiff
    I’m not a fan of his football but I love his results

    Dame Nellie has always had a soft spot for Bristol City so bring him as interim manager (well paid) and get Nigel's advice and wisdom if he is available. Time is of the essence to get someone other than Curtis before we plunge below the surface and struggle to resurface. Urgent - Urgent.

    I would love to see him finish 21/22 season with us probably got a black book full of out of contract players ... and freebie possibilities. He would need to offer his services as I do not believe we would approach him ..... as for players well I reckon we have enough to fit his style......

    It looks as though I will be in a minority, I respect Warnock and all of his history but I would hate him to infest our club, if he was that fantastic why have M'bro just sacked him.

    No thankyou.

    We have a Manager and as a club we need to do everything possible to get him back to work (healthy)

    It would be very poor to get rid of him when he's off sick. We are too good for that surely.

    I thought I was in the minority Wiz.
    I like and respect Warnock. I understand why other people don’t but his record speaks for itself for me.

    Take a look at the clubs once he’s left and see how they done? He fills clubs with his type of players and then when he leaves they are unable to move on waiting to clear these players out on contracts.
