It might have made sense if Warnock was sticking around for a couple more years, but he's off at the end of the season. What manager would fancy a year in the Premier League with this group of players if we did get promoted? The rebuilding should have started at the end of last season under a new manager, so that he could start introducing his own players into the setup.

DML1954 is going to lose his shit when he sees this thread.
Re: Time for a change - Bye Bye Warnock
I've come to the conclusion DML is Neil Warnock himself.

And then we get to the involvement of Neil Warnock’s son James in transfers and contracts, the less said about that the better.
The squandering of £60m on a squad so mediocre that not one player on the pitch today could provide a single moment of quality in 90 minutes is a damming indictment of what has been allowed to happen to our club. Sadly I don’t think anyone on the board either understands the seriousness of the situation or has the capability to take the swift and decisive actions required. Today’s embarrassment has illustrated what an utter shambles we have become.

My big issue with sticking with Warnock isn't about not getting promoted this season, as I don't believe we can anyway, but instead the year after year growing gap between our youth players/team and the first team. I think that we have already lost players because they can't see a way into the first team and even if by a miracle they get there... the football is so bad in the first team that anything they have learnt will hinder them rather than help them. Without a vehicle to the first team youth players and their agents and families will be reluctant to sign or stay with us.
In my amateur view surely there has to be some footballing cohesion between the different structures at the club... youth, u18, u23 and first team etc - the whole footballing ethos throughout the club needs to be looked at. A director of football is desperately needed and I am worried that when Warnock leaves his role as manager he may get that job... a terrifying thought for young players at the club.

That's a terrifying thought, isn't it!
Warnock has to leave our club lock, stock, and barrel...and take all his backroom staff with him.

It would have been a brilliant move for both him and the club, but now he is heading towards a tainted legacy where the positives are no longer outshining the negatives. As with a lot of the big life decisions, timing is everything.

The only positive from it might be it puts less expectation on a new manager. If someone took over after that game then had a shite start to the season we would all have been pining for Warnock.

Whilst I agree that is a positive I also think keeping Warnock in charge and letting him loose with more awful signings its going to hamstring the new manager more than if he had a clean slate last summer.

So let the players go a full season with him and lose confidence each week, then when a new manager comes in in the summer they have a few weeks to impress and possibly carry on with their lack of confidence.
I’d rather see a new manager come in now, even if he doesn’t drag us up the table he gets a few months to put his style across and isn’t just left with a few weeks in the summer to look at 20 odd players who are lacking confidence and deciding who stays and who goes.
**** Warnock off now.

That was exactly the point of replacing him last summer.
