Simple poll. Warnock stay or go?

Would like to hear who the Go's would rather have here ?

The Lincoln manager would be a punt, although he has gained back to back promotions with them and he has changed the way that they play. It'll be interesting to see how he gets on next season at such a small club.

I had an e-mail from someone who recommended him three years ago when he was at Braintree - my guess is he is bound for the Championship at least, so why not look at him. I like the fact that, as you say, he is not wedded to one way of playing as well.

Isn't he there with his brother? And didn't they get Lincoln to the semi final of the Fa Cup or am i imagining that-while they were non league? his record is very impressive, i'd give him a go, not sure the club would be willing to go down that route though.

Yes, he is - Lincoln got to the Quarter Finals in 16/17, beating Ipswich, Brighton and Burnley on the way before losing at Arsenal.

Cowley likes to play a direct style of football with an emphasis on pace and set plays - ring a bell?

Not criticising it and they have done extremely well to get where they have - perhaps they would be a good fit for us when Neil retires but not just yet - a young manager playing swash buckling football from the lower leagues is the approach Ipswich took this season with Paul Hurst - they were soon looking for a safe pair of hands. There's life in the old dog yet but I could have kicked him up the arse for the way we played yesterday.

If we have the opportunity to employ the most successful manager in the history of the championship who knows our players inside out and has already achieved promotion with that club and knows where improvements are needed rather than a whole new approach and a whole new squad with a club that is still heavily in debt I reckon that he would be the man

Luckily we have business men running the club not emotionally reactive football supporters who would be averaging 4 or 5 managers a season.

Out of interest, how long will Warnock be at the club and what happens when he decides to leave? Will we not be in the position of needing a whole new approach and squad improvements?

I have no idea but just a hunch that a multi million pound business with highly paid directors and successful business men at the helm have things called business plans in place where they discuss where the business is going in the next 5 years and have succession plans in place and during these meetings they discuss when the operations manager is going to retire and which direction they want to go. I think maybe just maybe they know when Neil if he stays healthy plans to finish.

I think that is probably a better solution than a bunch of blokes saying stay or go anonymously on an internet forum though I do appreciate the fantastic planning that goes into these polls.

Agreed with most of that, but the point must be that the club needs to have the ability to remove Warnock if it wants and should have a plan in place for that as well. The option of keeping Warnock (or any manager) for as long as the manager wants is certainly not healthy. With any long term plan, I can't see how keeping Warnock for as long as possible is beneficial, simply because anyone new coming in will make plenty of changes.
