Black Pete. He died after the Leeds win in 2017. Didn't he have a piss when he was up the floodlight as well? Or was there another 'character' that I remember doing that at Bolton? Same chap.

Had some right adventures watching this lot Started with my brother and him and his work pal used to take me everywhere Sadly his work pal passed away last year...John Morley...a cracking bloke and mad town fan Then as a teenager we used to get on a coach that ran from the bus station...it was a boyos bus and they took us under their wing...one game we stopped at Leicester forest service station and the lads took a Leeds fans shirt off him and set it alight in front of him lol Those were the days We dressed like thugs...burgundy pringle jumper..bleached jeans and puma g villas footwear lol...my rich m8 wore a tachini iceberg tracksuit...they cost a fortune them days Incidentally the half cast lad who climbed up the floodlight at burden Park used to travel on our coach...I think he may have passed too now...Don't know his name but a right character Pete Booth

Yeah they gave him years contract..he'll have had his leaving bonus worked into that no doubt. Warnock probably insisted on that ( he and Ronnie get a full years wage however long it lasts ) and as he was reluctant to stay Edwards understood they were going to have to give him what he wanted. Yet Neil Warnock and every fan I know understood that he was only staying until we found a long term manager to appoint. The headline literally says "ONE MORE YEAR FOR WARNOCK AND JEPSON". Did you miss the bit where Warnock said he expected to be leaving around xmas? Or how he didnt expect it to be so soon but understood and accepts it could happen. He gets paid for a full season now..the deal he'll have insisted on because hes a wily old bloke who knows what hes doing in negotiations. Seriously Im amazed anyone actually thought he'd be our manager all season.

Thanks for everything, Mr. Warnock. I can't help thinking that we've made a massive mistake

I don't know how he does it but Warnock has a way of getting points from games like that.
I'll be shocked if we find a manager who can get the same out of this squad

He's pragmatic and a great motivator, which is perfect for this squad. Probably the only way the new guy is going to do better is if they hold on doing things too differently until January, and if Nagle then releases some funds and/or Prem clubs are more inclined to now loan us someone.

It's going to be a very long season.

Aside from Wagner, Warnock is by far the best manager we've had in decades. He's the only one who can keep us in the second division. Now he's gone, I fear for the worst.

It's going to be a very long season. I think we've got quite a few players who will spend most of their career after us in league one or below yet we are relying on them as soon as we have a couple of injuries Imagine this squad with a serious injury crisis.

Black Pete. He died after the Leeds win in 2017. He did. However, he was known as "mad Pete" not black Pete. Top lad, mad as a box of frogs He was known as both, mý Mum and Dad knew him very well. Him and my Mum went way back.

95% of owning a successful football club is down to luck. Hoyle slogged his guts out for 9 years before Webber gave him Wagner. Luckily, he had enough nous to back him and reap the rewards.
Big Phil didn’t have that acumen to back Carlos when it mattered.
Now Nagle’s ego has stopped him backing Warnock. Every now & then fate presents itself through a random aligning of the stars and, when it does, the chance has to be grasped with both hands.
I really think that, given moderate support, Warnock could have had us on to a winner. Seeing that chance lost through dick-swinging and machismo is what riles me.

I can’t think of any managers who have had 2 guards of honour given to them by the players, let along in a 9 month period. It just feels wrong getting rid of Warnock and Ronnie now. We’re just starting to build momentum, the players and fans are 100% behind the manager and now we’re having to start from scratch. I really hope the powers that be have got this right but it doesn’t feel like it to me.

Well I have to agree with a previous poster on this thread or another(can’t remember) that Warnock somehow getting a point out of that is what we are losing.
I don’t honestly think there are many others out there (none who would come to us)that could get what he gets out of this squad, I was 50/50 upon hearing the news but after tonight I think town have once again royally ****** themselves over.

I hate the way that they've been treated. I'm sure that you can see the upset in Warnocks face and hear it in his voice.
He said it's never happened to him in his career how it has this time.
I'm gutted. Two legends. Shown out the back door.
