Let's be honest here. Warnock worked here because he could manipulate our owner, Tan and Choo and bring them round to his way of thinking and relaxing the purse strings a little.
If you can't manipulate the three that make decisions then you're as good as half way out the door before a ball has been kicked.
Warnock was a master of it. The same with his comments about the 'great bunch of lads' that was our squad and equally praising the fans and most rolling over to get their bellies tickled.
Warnock with his experience and contacts in the game is also the nearest thing you'd get to a manager and director of football rolled into one which is the main reason that he was the most successful manager here post Malky.
I meant he could manipulate Tan, Dalman and Choo but you probably worked that out.
Carlos Corberan Has moved up the list recently, the only one who gets my attention along with Bellamy. Hudson has to be a no and now Bamba who I can’t stand moved to 2nd fav.
ive been going down the city since i was about 8... so would have been around 80/81
at which time i didnt really have an idea who the manager was, as a kid it was all about your favourite player, midfielder or striker or what have you, i started taking note in a mangers role, personality and character around about eddie mays 1st term in office, and what a amanger to take note of, i love eddie may
im turning 50 and the nonchalant in me dont really care who the next maanger is, like ive said over the years we could have had alex fergusson in charge would it have made any difference ? the dave jones years were ok too as we had the likes of chops banging the balls in... and i always liked malky, we all know how that went and yes he obviously made some eratic errors, but i thought he was a decent manager... probably since then ive not got excited about any of them, if you count gabs little stint and currently huds holding it down we have had 9 managers since malky...
nah not fussed who comes in to be honest, we have alot of new players with much longer contracts than any manager to get to know and focus on
if i had to throw something in, that nathan jones would sure bring in some passion perhaps, or mark robins maybe... but not sure if things will change no matter what
always the optermistic me :hehe:
Was wondering why Corberan wasn't even on the list previously. Think he'd be a good choice.Quote:

Hudson now into 1/2, which is by default probably as much as anything, as time goes on with no news. It shows how in-the-dark the bookies are on these markets as they have Paul Warne priced up at 20/1. The same Paul Warne who left Rotherham yesterday to go to Derby.
I mean it is on the way here from RotherhamQuote:

No.
This was done to death, the other day, in “THE NEXT MANAGER” thread :facepalm:
No thank you.
"Reading boss Paul Ince is staying put, the Reading Chronicle understands", although they don't have a lot to back that up.

Pretty sure we wouldnt pay the 50p compensation. Thankfully.

I don't understand why Sol's odds are so short - unless Paul Abbandonato put a fiver on him after that ridiculous piece he wrote early last week.
I love Sol - he was fantastic for us on and off the pitch, a genuine nice guy and a fighter (not least against his illness).
But I don't think he is anything special as a pundit - his analysis of games is basic at best. He has virtually no experience. He would have to learn on the job and make all his biggest mistakes at the CCS. It would be a crazy gamble to give him such a big job at this stage.
In five years time it might be a totally different story.
He’s the worse on the list, he was a brilliant player for us but he doesn’t seem the brightest. That nonsense when he left as well, what was that all about, odd and had a sense of an ego about it.Quote:

Have we got a new manager yet? I’ve paid no attention at all I’m afraid
I think I could favour Corberan out of those names, there are more pitfalls than prizes IMO though
He didn't do very well leading the Labour party.Quote:
