Had he retired after the win at old Trafford he would have been rightly regarded as a very good manager for this club. And while I think he still should be, this season will obviously bring that into question somewhat. What shouldn’t be forgotten is the way he did bring things together and get everyone behind the team again after the self-inflicted mess of the past few years. But he doesn’t half blow his own trumpet. I’d love to read his self-review for his annual appraisal
I think if he left we keep Reid, maybe Zohore stays (wasn’t it Warnock who commented on KZ leaving?) that’s 2 of the 4 who looked really good when the pressure was off at United that left us, Murphy looks like he’s had the life and spark trampled out of him after a year with Neil as well.

Does a new manager address the obvious weaknesses in the squad? No other RB, pace and ball control needed at CB, does Cunningham stay? Do we add pace to the middle?

What favour did he do us by staying?

You can throw as many comments off me by dimwits like DML as you like I will not be convinced otherwise we were better off with him here “steadying then ship”

Neil Warnock is all about Neil Warnock.
