Was hoping this would be a season where we recruited some quality across the pitch and Warnock had his final hurrah and a stab at promotion .
Don’t think that was ever on the cards as a club or for Warnock looking back .
If he leaves , he does so as a hero to me - someone too young to remember 95. However , he always was the short term replacement and if we find someone who can work with this group of players to a similar level as Warnock then it’s a sensible choice . Let them build the relationship and start to put things in place for January and next season .
I can’t stand Jones - from his Stoke , Luton and Southampton days and it’s evident from his press at Luton he’s not too fond of us either . However, if he’s appointed I’ll get behind him because - primarily - I’m a Town fan . Not a Nagle fan , Warnock fan etc…
No idea how this plays out but there isn’t half some fannies on this forum . We’ve been around for 115 years and we’ve collectively seen some dross - but however this pans out , there’ll still be a Huddersfield Town tomorrow … and next week … and we’ll all still check this forum , watch the matches and cheer for the lads because that’s what we do .

He’s been a major part of my life.
I witnessed pure genius in the promotion season 95 and it was my proper first decent period as a Town fan (age 14/15). New stadium, decent passionate manager, Boothy, Jepo, Bullock, Cowan, wow.
Not seen many things like it and I’ve been to approx 1600 live HTAFC games.
Middlesborough at home last season too.
I was baffled when he decided to take the job, I really was. And deep down I think we all knew it wouldn’t last long.
If he leaves after today I’ll be gutted but I’m actually quite happy with the Nathan Jones appointment, if it’s true
UTT
FOREVER IN MY HEART, SIR NEIL WARNOCK

Virtually everything that can be said has been said on this thread. But I think it’s worthwhile we just look at the facts rather than the speculation.
Three ITK posters confirming the rumours seems to signal Warnock will indeed be walking, but to say that Nagle is to blame seems to only be partially true. There’s been clear miscommunication regarding the transfer budget and Warnock doesn’t feel he’s been given what was promised, but he’s also a man in his late 70’s who is probably very worn out from his service in the game (he spoke of this following his sacking at Boro so I imagine it still holds true).
By no means am I saying any poster is incorrect in their reaction for what, quite frankly, is a sh*t situation - but maybe to reserve their judgement until we see the facts become clearer.
As for a new appointment, is there any truth in Jones or is it putting 2 and 2 together and getting 5? Personally, I think he comes across as a spoilt little brat but was fantastic at Luton; a club that resembles Town more than Stoke or Southampton.
One thing is for sure, the uncertainty here will be running parallel to uncertainty within the team - so it’s important we really get behind the lads today in what is still a massive game.

I was told late on last night that the replacement isn’t Nathan Jones.
We will have to wait and see what happens though, like some have mentioned it’s all about what circumstances this is happening under. If Warnock isn’t right in himself then it’s the best for everyone, however we knew he was a short term appointment so have had plenty of time to weigh up his replacement. It needs to be someone who is going to take this club forward in the long term, probably an ambitious appointment. If this turns out underwhelming then the backlash could be real.
We appointed a new position of director of global brand, you’d think with this kind of position created Nagle would want a well known name for global attraction. A mate of mine suggested Wayne Rooney (personally think he would be a step back) but I’d kind of expect an appointment similar, rather than someone completely unknown. But this is town.

Wonder if his replacement was working down the road not so long ago… Fucking hope not, that would be the last straw.

Replacement found, turned sour this quickly. From what I understand/know in the club, Warnock regrets not walking and is finding it too much / tiring. Whether that is the party line or the truth, I don’t know. But that’s what the senior pros have been told. I said at the end the last season, you could see the toll it had taken on him. No idea why we offered him to stay and why he decided to stay. If it’s true we just move on and keep fingers crossed that whoever we appoint works

If we’re talking great Town managers in my 40+ years of watching, he’s up there just behind Wagner for me. Then there’s Buxton & Jacko. After that, a long, long, line of the ok(ish): Horton, Bruce, etc, the distinctly average: Ritchie, Robins, etc, and the downright shite: MacDonald, Wadsworth, etc. Fotheringham is in his own category of super shiteness. Warnock has given us a promotion + a great escape, not many trump that.

This second hand from someone well known to the club:
NW has told the club that for health reasons he intends to step down after the Stoke City game on Wednesday. His successor will be announced before then but it will not be Nathan Jones.

We’ve made decisions assuming Warnock is manager. I can’t believe any of the other 91 league managers would rather have Hudlin than Rhodes. Selling Camara etc. IF he leaves it reflects badly on all involved, amateur hour, Mickey Mouse and all the others. Camara wanted to leave

Do we think Warnock’s health is the real reason or PR?
Seemed mad to me at the time that he signed on again at 74.

As I said Warnock will be gone by Xmas. Dogs abuse received on here. For sure Warnock will tell us the real reason. One thing that warnock said always worried “I liked Kevin because he was buying the club regardless of which division we were in”. Cue - get rid of 17 players and sign 4 with no striker. Many warnock targets missed. Does it seem fair to assume that Nagle isn’t concerned with which division we are in ? They don’t have relegation in most American sports ? Does he even understand what relegation means to the fans ? Something is a foot. The thing at the bottom of your leg is

Saw the health reason mentioned on the email group, by Monsieur Le Poivre, so would expect there to be some truth in it. Life at the Mac certainly hasn't been dull recently.

Would people swallow it as a coincidence following his very public dig at the club and the pathetic window? There's a few on this thread trying to pretend this isn't a problem, one look at the table and the squad suggests to me it's a very big problem. When will the soap opera end. When we're finally relegated perhaps? And what a way to prepare for two key games, I was looking forward to maybe four points minimum. Might be a tall order now. Rock bottom for when the new man arrives?

Couple of wins to send him off into the sunset, leave them in the top half for the new manager coming in.

He doesn't look in ill health on the press conferences, I know that doesn't betray what might be going on inside the human body with an early diagnosis of a disease, but he looks in good nick but I guess at 74 you can be diagnosed with owt at any time.
