Our biggest mistake with Warnock was allowing him to stay and compete in an environment that he has never been successful in, easy to say in hindsight I know but the club is run by successful business men, who wouldn't think twice about appointing someone to do a certain role and then thanking them with a hefty bonus for achieving that goal.
What was needed once promotion was achieved was to get a successful manager in with experience of that league, so we stayed in there longer than a strawberry season.
Warnock did the job he was employed to do, the mistake was asking him to do a different role.
Whatever anyone thinks of Pullis, he adapted and kept Stoke in the Premier league, something Warnock has never done in his long career.
If Boro get promoted this season, you can bet your bottom dollar that Steve Gibson will have someone lined up for next year to replace him
