I posted a somewhat tongue in cheek set of stats a few weeks ago that declare NW was the best manager we have ever had. And although it was ironic I believed it then and I believe it now.

When Campy says that what NW and the team have achieved is the best achievement he can remember and that Frecks says it is the best dressing room he has experienced than something unique has constellated around NW in alignment with RUFC.

NW, we need him here next season. He is realistic and a superb fit for RUFC in this division. In his post wolves interview he alluded to other clubs coming in for him and seemed today to be slightly edging out of the door. However, he also has a twinkle in his eyes at the mention of the challenge here next season. He responded to the idea that he isnt afraid of the challenge here but others are interested in him and the club needs to do something to convince him that his legacy wont be for nothing. And there lies the bargaining chip TS.

I totally trust and am in awe of the amount of energy, desire and Belief that TS has put into the club and I wouldnt have it any other way. But, I want to believe that the club will go all out to convince Neil Warnock that this challenge is his legacy for years to come. That his legacy will be intact and not squandered in the same way as TS protects his hard work and dream. 

NW, has gone on about the training ground again and again and maybe, just maybe, TS has been a little guilty of taking his eye of this one aspect...I dont know and I dont mean it as a criticism but no one is perfect. It is clearly very important to NW and he wouldnt identify it as strongly as he has if it wasnt a real fly in the ointment to sustained progress and as NW says it is vitally important in attracting players-and he should know. Interesting point is that the club hasnt made it a priority and no one has been able to convince TS or had the awareness to convince TS of its importance. 

I will be upset if NW isnt here next year. He is like the best armchair in your favourite room. He is comfortable, you look forward to relaxing and love being entertained in it. The chair can easily handle a cup of tea and a plate of snacks and it is adaptable to any position you wish to be in. If its not there the next time you walk in then you would suddenly be disoriented as to whether this was the right house at all. No dubt that you would spend months aimlessly searching on line and in stores to find a replacement and when you had chosen one out of necessity there would be that horrible period where you really cant tell if its going to work for you or not...what a thing to have to endure.

so, I hope he stays and the idea of RUFC for another year is the very best and most fitting challenge that he simply cannot walk away from. I also hope that TS makes it impossible for him to do so. NW is obviously a real gentleman. He is honest and straight forward and loves to be loved and in turn he loves to give albeit with that obvious Yorkshire humbleness that sometimes is communicated via gruffness, sarcasm, and passion while a tear is not far away.

RUFC deserve to be in the championship. It has been through sheer pride and effort against all the odds that we got here and now look forward to season 3. If we are to have a real future at this level and build the club and the fan base over the next 2 generations then we need to be here in this league for several more years to come.
