Put warnock in charge tomorrow =championship next season

Just saying

Automatic is too far off now, and I would trust Clough more in the playoffs. Warnock was good for us but is not the answer in 2015.....

 

[mark hones]

By bringing back Warnock?

Between this thread and the "let's forget them cup games" thread, I dispair of this forum at times.

So stop reading it, it's not life or death.

Sacking Clough right now would not be good. But the reaction to the idea that Warnock could return gets toward the root of our problem. We are in a phase of favouring niceness over what it takes to win. Hopefully a full 4 years of 3rd division football will be enough for those who feel the need to keep apologising for the most exciting phase we've experienced in decades.

If we don't make the play offs we should sack him, not before. If we're in this division next season we should expect to be commanding it at Christmas, and if not, get rid.

Whatever happens we should demand a proven winning mentality from the next manager. Fuck likeability.

Let's hope Clough can remove those extreme doubts over the next year.

Get Weir in with Blackadder as his numer 2 (fnar Fnarr, number 2).

What we need is Baldric with a cunning plan. Clough clearly hasn't got one.

 

[alcoblade]

Really get sick of these Neil come back threads. He wasn't that good the first time. People seem to remember two seasons in isolation out of the whole time he was with us. Was it seven seasons?

Aye, who needs those dark days back?

Quite. No chance of reasoned debate from the likes of yourself, so I may as well enjoy my Saturday night then.

 

[Guesty]

Ah, a reaction to today's defeat that's even more laughable than the snide 'but we should be in Europe by now!' sarcasm that filled up the shoutbox.

 

[GRUMPY BLADE]

Clough is hopeless? He's the best manager we've had for years. If he gets fired/ driven out/ walks away I honestly don't know where the club would end up.

So glad when Forest's winner went in today.

 

[JJBlade]

Why is it laughable? They apparently wanted 250k for a Scottish winger who's never played in England.
Out of interest, How much did Celtic pay?

So if 80k is laughable, 1.5million for Brayford must be extremely serious

Ok, do you actually believe that we've offered £1.5 million for Brayford ?

Gary Mackay Steven is an international player who wouldn't be going anywhere for £250,000 if it wasn't for his contract running out in the summer.
At least Dundee United have told us to foxtrot Oscar and will be keeping the player until his contract expires.
The £80,000 we've offered for a quality player is insulting to Dundee United and to the player himself, it oozes small time and a lack of class. GMS could see all he needed to see about this club from that offer alone.
It might be seen as an attractive offer when Sheffield United come to selling but at least Dundee United aren't so pathetic and they realise that keeping the player for a bit longer is worth more than that to them.
Celtic will pay nothing for him, he is signing a pre contract agreement which means he stays at Dundee United and then becomes a Celtic player next season.
In order to compete with that our offer had to be serious and not an insult.

 

[Kev Gee]

As soon as Spurs have knocked us out go get him!

We need a the new manager bounce to ensure we don't miss the play offs, This division killing our club and Clough hasn't got a clue what it takes to get a side promoted.

hahhahahahaha.

 

[Gavlar]

Sacking Clough may indeed be the question, but appointing Warnock isn't the answer any more.

The world is no longer flat.

The world is no longer flat? Since when?!!!!!!!!!!

 

[SwissBlade]

Yes. The source, a person very high up in the club told a mate. Never been ITK in the past, but as I have no reason to doubt the info I thought I'd share it. I've heard stuff in the past from the same person and it's been found to be true, I just haven't shared it before as I was told in confidence.

Whether we get him is an entirely different story. But yes I believe we bid 1.5m for him

 

[DorsetSUFC]

I don't believe a returning Warnock is the answer and would be a backward step.

I think that automatics this year is over and will be play offs at best - The Board and Mr Clough must reinforce the squad over the next two weeks with some quality as I fear for our chances in the play offs as it stands.

 

[Foxy]

The £80,000 we've offered for a quality player is insulting to Dundee United and to the player himself, it oozes small time and a lack of class. GMS could see all he needed to see about this club from that offer alone.

T'was £75k, Celtic will be paying nothing.

If we'd insulted them, we'd have heard more of it from their end.

 

[gavtheblade]

Mmm, semi finals on Wednesday, take it no fucker is bothering then??
Don't slate clough for fuck sake,he,s no better than the next man.
No fault of clough our wayward format,the lack of funds is.

Yes people go a bit overboard sometimes but 18 points off 2nd is not good enough, if I had told you before the first league game we would be 18 points off 2nd and just 3 points off the bottom half by mid jan, after you'd stopped pissing yourself with laughter you would have asked for some of what I'm drinking.

We would have wanted him now not after the season anyway so what we bid doesn't really matter.

He did not choose Celtic over us because we only bid 75k. He chose them because they are his boyhood club, will win titles and play in Europe and will have him playing for Scotland.

If we had bid 1.5 million it would have made not one bit of difference.

His signing on fee of that £1.5M might have swung it but I get your drift.

TRUE BLADES want Warnock back.

Clough has had one promotion in about 15 years of management.

Only when you've done like Warnock can you even debate becoming yesterday's man.

Aahh, Neil warnock. The football mastermind, remind me please, how long did he take to get us promoted ?
