Widely reported that Neil Warnock has left Rotherham after 'lengthy discussions'. He's now favourite for the Blackburn job...
TF never should have got rid the first time he was with us. His biggest mistake. We haven't yet found a better Manager, and Hughes and Harry were a lot worse. I certainly won't mind him coming back long term, if he really wants to manage again long term, which he seems in some doubt about.
In a strange way i agree with Ted. NW was a good manager for us and things went wrong after he left. Even when he came back after Benny he turned things around. Did the same at Rotherham and will do the same at the next club. The bloke knows this division.
This a hundred times. Was chatting to a mate about Benitez and Newcastle but I would have Sir Neil over Benitez any day in the Championship. Warnock is a grinder who knows how to get results at this level. Agree with Oslo. One of TF's earliest and possibly biggest mistakes was to sack him the first time. Burnley and Dyche - nuff said.
He's not doing too badly for someone that keeps retiring. He's had more comebacks than Status Quo! Not sure who Rotherham think they are going to get in who could do any better than Colin. I wouldn't like him back, I didn't like him as a person before he came to QPR and I don't like him much now. Props for getting us promoted though, can't take that away from him.
"The main thing is consolidating in the Championship, have a steady season where they're not flirting with relegation and get the infrastructure correct for when they could make a push." Words of wisdom indeed, hopefully JFH positions our club like this next season. Neil Warnock: Rotherham United stay would have been for 'wrong reasons' please log in to view this image Neil Warnock made 52 appearances as a player for Rotherham United between 1969 and 1971 Neil Warnock has said that he would have been "staying for the wrong reasons" if he had remained at Rotherham United. Warnock secured the club's Championship status after three months in charge but opted to leave on Wednesday. Speaking to BBC Radio Sheffield, the 67-year-old admitted he nearly signed a new contract last week. "I did feel the club needs somebody to commit themselves now to actually take it forward," he said. "The chairman has a dream of the Premiership, and quite rightly so, but I do think that's a few years away yet. "The main thing is consolidating in the Championship, have a steady season where they're not flirting with relegation and get the infrastructure correct for when they could make a push." Warnock presided over 16 matches at Rotherham, taking them on an 11-game unbeaten streak that moved them out of the relegation zone. Rotherham had been confident of keeping Warnock at the New York Stadium, but Warnock felt that the club needs a manager willing to commit to a long-term run. "Ten years ago, I think I would have signed a three or four-year contract with the chairman because I trust him that much," he said. "With one or two key signings Rotherham have the nucleus to take the club and try and be in a comfortable position." Warnock has managed at 14 clubs in a 36-year career, including stints at Leeds United, Queens Park Rangers and Huddersfield Town. "The club now is in a situation where it needs somebody to come in for a couple of years," Warnock added. "I have that one season left in me and I felt at the end, I would have been staying at Rotherham for the wrong reasons." http://www.bbc.com/sport/football/36333439
I don't like Warnock but that is an honest position to take. Obviously sees himself doing exactly what he did for us last season, a short term stop gap.
And this is why ...Love Colin as I do........... I do not want him back "The club now is in a situation where it needs somebody to come in for a couple of years," Warnock added. "I have that one season left in me and I felt at the end, I would have been staying at Rotherham for the wrong reasons." We need someone who steadies our club, and takes it forward as a long-term project...Colin himself says it is not him (short-term thinking...)
what a load of testicles he is blood and guts and thunder he wants to smell that prem in his few remaining years he knows that rotherham cant get back into the prem for at least five years and even then he may well invest his time and it all goes terribly wrong ferdinand should have made him an offer that he couldnt refuse he should not have let warnock leave managerial genieses like gerry francis and warnock are very hard to come by if wew spend another five years in midtable obscurity
