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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nebristolred Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 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.

Phileas Fogg Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
