my idea of the Warnock 'hitch'
Permalink  
 

Warnock is our last throw of the dice. He's the best candidate by far and the chairman should be delighted that NW is interested in coming to rescue our wretched season, first under Evans88 and then Redfearn.

The only stumbling block I can envisage is this: 

NW has been there,  he's done it several times over BUT he doesn't want to be advised or shackled by the know-nothings on the Technical Committee. It's high time this preposterous organization is mothballed until the end of the season, if not for all time. TS knows absolutely zilch about football and if Richard Stewart has picked up everything he knows from his father than he'll also know zilch. 

The Committee should swallow their pride and give Warnock room to manoeuvre and utilize his knowlege and expertise to the full. However, if they screw up...then they'll pay a very heavy price if we're relegated.

one would hope common sense would prevail and those on the technical board naturally give way to the ubermensch.

Failure to provide due failte would condemn RUFC and we the followers to the dark ages.

What is the actual function of this 'committee' that doesn't take place other than the usual route of player acquisition?

The reason why this works at Southampton and other places is they have a Chief Exec & Director of Football, so there is a model there that is long term irrespective of who is manager. The pool & resources, data and funding is off this planet compared to our Football Manager database, they're also targeting and vetting potential management changes before they even happen, they already know who will replace Koeman.

With us I'd imagine we spend a lot of time scouting and pursuing failures. Its bound to happen, when Paul Douglas says no to 95% of everything as he's failed to agree terms. Comes with the territory when you're unable to financially back your position in the market. Many moons ago I was a sales rep for a power tools firm, the most common complaint from small tool shops was we're buying it for more than what B&Q are selling it for. That is our position. We have to find a way to minimise waste as much as possible and continue to fight to survive until our infrastructure grows. When you've got a ceiling of customers that is at least 50% of those in your market its the only way you can try and level it out. We have to remember the TV money means nothing as everyone gets it.

Its good the club are seeking ways to minimise waste after the Evans debacle but whatever this committee is doing its already made too many mistakes to inspire confidence that the function works - seems more like smoke & mirrors

Passed this opinion many times in previous posts about no one at club knows b*****r all about football we are all team managers but if we are honest we would fail , I believe Redders failed because of constraints of having to work with people who may be good in business but in football not got a clue . TS has got to let whoever it is (please be Warnock) have absolute power over the team and players that includes any loan player's he wants to bring in , they stand back and admit this b*****y committee idea as not worked its already cost one decent football man his job next it will cost the cub its championship status , and a long with that we will lose at least 2500 off gates which is something we can't afford .

Welcome on board zilzal.

It's like a tea and cake afternoon on here with polite and educated discussion.

A very good opening post and I fully agree.

My only concern is the messing about with Warnock.

They ought to be begging him to do the job not interviewing him!

I can only hope that Neil has already been given the job until season end and the interviews are all about next season which is fair enough.

If Warnock doesn't get the job then it's the end of the road for this season and supporters will vote with their feet.

 yes, thats a very good point. 

for morale sake there is only one decision. it hardly matters what the board thinks at this point if they are not in concert with the fans on this.

Ian, thanks for the list and what a sorry bunch of individuals they make. Not a shred of footballing knowledge between them. Some, however, would speak up for Gee Evans and then quickly realize what utter fools they'd made of themselves. I'd like to ask how many of Evans88's recruits were down to Gee but fear the answer.

Grainger Webster Lyons Towner Sedgwick ; what an illustrious collection of right wingers . Finney (mainly for his goals rather than his wing play) could've been included too if his career hadn't ended prematurely. Eagle-eyed fans will have spotted the absence of a certain Neil Warnock. Neil was lacking in playing terms but has more than made up for it in managerial terms. His record is remarkably good and he's laying it before a set of bozos who...well who knows what goes through the average bozo's head.

Kempo, many thanks for your cordial greeting. Even though I'm not eating or drinking at the moment I do, nevertheless, have one serviette on my lap and another tucked into my T shirt. It's the very least I can do for Millers Banter. As for Millers Mad...I gave up on them a long time ago. The standard of posting on there is abject to say the least. I'm being too kind to the majority of their members? I suspected as much.

Coming back to the original post, I gather Warnock's wife is ill (I assume it's a long-term thing) so he can't put in more than 3-4 days/week.

I guess that might not be enough to satisfy the Stewarts.

Biggs says he understands it's a done deal. Untill the end of the season. Hope for an announcement Friday
