Warnock did very well with Middlesbrough. If you look at their side (pretty average) and he has made them quite competitive which they were not under Woodgate and managed to get results against the best sides. He's a genius at this level

He is still one of the best man managers in the game. As Rob alluded to on OSIB podcast, it would be the ultimate test of his abilities to see if he can do it with this group of players.

Agreed. I wouldn’t be against Warnock coming in. At this level their are few better and that is not my opinion speaking that is facts speaking.

ok fair enough. Drove past the Ashton Road side of ground and media entrance car park was busier than usual. 

Yeah I mean it could be for anything but definitely some reason for them being there today, which I guess can’t be normal for the Monday after a game on an international break. 

Imagine if it’s for something completely non important ?

It is facts, you can dislike his style and manner but the facts are he has overachieved time and time again with club's in the Championship. I wouldn't be disappointed to get him in until the end of the season if the rumours are true about NP.

Dont let you despising someone get in the way of the prospect of us winning a few games

Far from convinced he would achieve results, but what is guaranteed is we would have an objectionable man in charge who plays football out of the Stone Age. No ta.

Same, gutted. Really thought it was going to work out for big Nige..

 

If he is really suffering healthwise, he won't be able to coach the side well or be as effective as a manager. It's for his and our benefit he steps back from that role.

It's a bit gutting and will be one of the great "what might have beens" if he is off, but if health is impacting his ability to do the job, then he's making the right move. I hope rest and the relaxation of not being within the shitstorm of BCFC helps him feel better.

If this is the case, as much as I'm not always a Warnock fan, it would be a good move for now. One of the disappointments of Pearson's reign is that we thought he would be the sort of manager to get players running through walls for him, which just hasn't happened for one reason or another. Warnock would help bring that attitude back, and even if he might not take us up, that effect could help and carry on past his tenure.

He should be sacked anyway so it’s a win for everyone imo

I can understand a (joint) press conference, if Nige is explaining and handing over to a new guy.

The joint press conference could be announcing Colin's appointment AND his resignation due to having realised how deep in the doo doo we are!

Will he have second thoughts?

If it is the case that he is leaving the due to health then it’s a shame it happened at this stage of his Bristol City career. These last few weeks will be the lasting memory for many city fans but I was still optimistic he could do something special here.

I was of the opinion that if we stayed up, we waited and saw how he evolved the club to (hopefully) be able to compete in seasons to come.

But if he's ill, it explains why he is underperforming as a manager.

In those cicumstances its right to say goodbye.

I think if there was an instant appointment there’d be some strong rumours about who. Pearson stepping down, Fleming in temporary charge whilst we try to appoint someone seems likely.

Genuinely wouldn’t be adverse to Warnock as a short term thing. The priority has to be to survive. Warnock as a short term sticking plaster whilst we scope out a long term manager could be prudent.

It will be:

Pearson leaving for health reasons;

Fleming to take temporary charge whilst the club carries out a “careful, thorough and rigorous” recruitment process for a successor.

I’ll stake my tadger on it.

Steve Lansdown waiting for Sunderland to sack Lee Johnson before reappointing him!

Would you sit through 6 months of packed defences just to possibly stay up?

Rather that then go down playing pretty to be honest. Relegation to the third tier would kill the club this time around IMO.

How disappointing if so.

He was exactly the type of manager we wanted and we were fortunate IMO to get him.

Whatever may be wrong with him at present I would like to think that we could allow him an extended period of sick leave rather than changing manager.

I'm not blaming anyone if it's true, because I don't have an inside track, but it would be disappointing.

With all due respect yes! Whatever gets served up can not be worse than what we have been put through for years, yet we still take thousands away.

Depends how you defined 'worked out'. Took over with them 21st and in big danger of going down under Woodgate, 8 games - 4 won, 4 lost. Kept them up and finished 17th. First full season finished 10th. I would take that... 

Oh come on, if it worked out that well they wouldn't have sacked him. Woodgate was doing a really bad job there with a team which had finished 5th and 7th the two previous years.

I’d rather sit through 6 months of packed defences to stay up. That would be better than 6 months of shambolic defending resulting in relegation
