It wasn’t but it’s very relevant It's completely irrelevant. In a discussion if Rhodes should be at Town rather than out on the loan, the fact he’s better than the strikers at the club is irrelevant? Strange thought process. |

I responded to someone saying that Rhodes has excelled in the Championship. I asked when the last time that was. Harratt and Hudlin are completely irrelevant to that question and discussion. |

I know what you said, i read it. Now i know i can only respond to the direct and sole point in a post and not related subjects i wont do it again. |

Mahoney, as far as I know, has never excelled. Rhodes has. That is the difference in the comparison. Rhodes excelled about 7/8 years ago. Both were good enough for this level at a time, now they’re not. Wingers we have. Koroma, Thomas, Headley can play there, Jones, when fit, what we don't have is a decent finisher. Harratt has done well given his experience but I have watched Danny Ward 'just not quite get to' balls at the back post more than once this season. He was just short of one first half Saturday. We had another cross from our right which just needed someone at the far post but we didn't have anyone. Mahoney and Rhodes may have found their most effective level but if we want DM to play more attacking football then a striker with a striker's instinct has surely got to help. Especially when we have no real goal scorers in the team and cannot guarantee Ward will stay fit. So why would we leave Rhodes at Blackpool to probably get 20 goals this season. It would just be weird unless we can bring in better, which I doubt we can in January. |

Did an amazing job keeping us up. Should have left then. We now have to pay ruffles and ward for two years not to mention the players he said we don’t need.
Does he care about town ?
No. Warnock is all about Warnock.

Why, Why, Why, Why, Why would you sack NW minutes after beating WBA away is the number one question in the bars tonight......Too late now, but we are stuck with a pile of shit instead. |

Said it before, it was football suicide. I along with many others knew this from day 1 of Moores appointment. |

I have no idea why Nagel bought Town. What does he get out of it? What was his motivation?

Haven’t got the foggiest either mate. Why buy something on the other side of the world you’ve got no attachment to and then let it be mismanaged like this? At least have a go. If I was Nagle I’d be on the first plane over here.

Speaking of Warnock he said recently he wouldn't mind a crack at the play offs, well mathematically it's so early in the season they might still be on if we bring back the King.
We're still paying him and his coaching team after all. Maybe Jake can go cap in hand and beg him to come back, he is very charming after all, or he was on the couple of occasions we've seen him.

Now 7/1 from 14/1 to take over at Plymouth, a lot of Pilgrims see it as a 'no brainer' to bring in NW for last 20 or so games of season & keep them up.....Was also in the directors box last Saturday v Rotherham.

Sacking NW was plain stupid if you base your assessment on football. But he was eased out because he refused to cow down to the owner. Fact. He pretty much told me after the Rotherham game. His exact words were, “you know what new owners are like,” when I asked him if he was leaving.
It was a mistake then and will remain so until the owner provides Town with some better players. The whole point of Warnock was that he could get the best out of a limited squad. Moore is not that good a coach or man manager. He has less authority and certainly no where near the charisma of NW. It would appear that the decision to ease out NW and his team was much more expensive than they thought.

I wonder if there’s a clue in today’s Athletic article interviewing Warnock: theathletic.com/5229382/2024/01/30/neil-warnock-interview-job-future/“maybe we might see a return to the dugout soon? “We’ll know in the next two or three weeks, won’t we?,” Warnock says. “What I will say is: if I come back into management, it’ll be because I feel I can make people smile. “That’s what football should be about: make the fans smile and give them something to cheer. ” Who could smile more than us lot?! Plan C, see how Worthy gets on for a game or two and if it continues pear-shaped Warnock comes back for the “immediate impact” stated by the club, and making us smile? Total speculation of course. |

I was saying no chance until I heard Kevs diary last night. Yes I know he ruled it out but felt similar to when they ruled it out at the end of last season. Comments about staff still on the payroll and asking Warnock's advice. Maybe there's a part of Kev toying with the idea.
Is there a better candidate until the end of the season?
Do we really want to risk another long term contract for a manager to fall flat on his face?
We need an instant reaction. Will a new manager take time to implement their style of football?
Warnock knows this group and the club know he can get a tune out of them. I'd be in favour as long as we had a fresh start next season. Plenty of time that way to wait for the right man to become available.

He’d be most people’s number 1 choice but realistically but would he return again? Just can’t see it. |

If anyone reads the whole interview beyond just my short excerpt, you might get the same sense that I did that he's now definitely winding down, and not particularly interested in another management role, unless it was something exceptional. Rescuing us a second time would be an exceptional achievement. He loves Dean and the club and the fans, and he knows it would bring a smile to our faces as his final act in football management.
Yes, I may be reading between the lines, wishful thinking, but he may not wish to see his mate Dean's legacy relegated and his work last season wasted.
There seems to be no significant bad feeling between him and the new owner and bosses, after all, he was happy to do the presser with them to announce his early departure, it wasn't a sacking in the normal sense, so he may well be on good terms and open for a final rescue if Worthington can't get a tune out of them. In the meantime it gives the club plenty of time to find the long term replacement who would come in and have the whole summer to shape the team.
