Warnock deal in sight
By Chris Stanton - Created on 30 Mar 2007

Neil Warnock looks set to thrash out a 'double your money' contract with Sheffield United that could see the manager in sight of a decade at Bramall Lane.

Warnock's future has been the subject of speculation recently, with terms on a new deal still unresolved, but Blades chairman Kevin McCabe confirmed progress has been made.

Warnock, who joined the club in 1999, is reportedly on the verge of signing a new two-year contract that could double his existing pay.

McCabe did admit that the deal's structure would depend on whether the club, who are currently four points clear of the bottom three in the Premiership, retain their top flight status.

"It's not short-term. It's realistic for Neil's aspirations and our own," said McCabe.

"We've had some good one-to-one debates already this month - on a contract and shooting for the top ten. It's been forthright, open and agreeable."

God help us all

Yeah... heaven forbid they offer a new contract to the manager who's guided the club to some of its most consistent football for the past goodness knows how long

I'm personally very happy with this news, i see no better candidate for the job then the current incumbent...regardless of whether we stay up or not.

Just my opinion of course

Yeah, I've got a few issues with Warnock but he'd die for the cause at least - also I think even though he's in the twilight of his career he is still learning the game and he has improved throughout the season so fair play, let him keep the reigns for a couple more seasons. He will of course still get stick from fans, me included, but I'd never question his devotion.
