Anyone under 40 right now.

I admire Warnock. His record speaks for itself. 
I can’t help feeling that the fire has gone out though - he’s not as feisty and ranty as he used to be (probably a good thing considering his age) and his passion was a big part of his success at getting the absolute best out of ‘inferior’ players. 
It can’t be good for a 74 year old to be in one of the most stressful jobs around though. 
I will keep my eye on Huddersfield’s results with interest.

6 months money, stay up hero, go down, retires again. I doubt there's much stress.

Can’t help but love him

He goes to sleep thinking about us.

I'd say his remarks about us are now no longer insult worthy and more a compliment. Out of all the clubs in England he has played against in his long career we've wound him up the most.

Doubt he’s been punched at many other grounds!!

He's been a caricature all his life. A caricature of a football manager, playing 1980s hoofball whilst acting like a 1970s manager.

We had his pale imitation, Pulis, instead. Be careful what you wish for.

I don’t think this will be his last job. He’s retired more often the Elton John has had farewell tours and has  still come back for more

He does go on to say that he has a lot of respect for us (and Pompey and Ipswich where he also gets stick).

Its not much of a secret that he would’ve liked to manage us, makes me wonder where we’d have got to if he had?

Correct. Bristol City will be his last job. He is clearly keeping his "hand in" while he waits for us to finally call him, even if it means waiting for SL to move on.

He'll be in his 80s when he manages us

It would have been nice to have him at our club, just not as Manager / Head Coach !

Looks like it already.

For football clubs to want a 74 year old to come out of retirement to manage them, speaks volumes about the man. 

And the football club.

Didn't work out at Cardiff, and at Boro he'd lost 7 and won 5 when they sacked him.

I'm thinking he might just be too old now. He's 75 this year.

Maybe security/steward..... he'd sort it out!

Huddersfield’s fixture list is very tough. I think they’ll be relegated.

Totally, his recent record is shite.

Won’t stop some on here trotting out the loveable old rogue bollocks.

He’s a nasty piece of work & his teams play dogshit football.

That used to work but as you pointed out not for some time, his last promotion was absolutely ages ago.

He’s Pulis.

I wish the managers that didn’t work out at City included them getting promoted to the Premier League.

In that case every manager hasn't worked out here! 

Warnock won promotion with Cardiff 5 years ago, and took them down the next season, the side was left uncompetitive even at Championship level. At Boro, Chris Wilder achieved considerably better results with the same group of players.

I think whatever he's had in the past, he's lost. None of us stay as effective in old age. 

[Leveller]

I’d like to see him manage in Bristol… but not us.

It would be a glorious double whammy if Colin & the Gas relegated each other.

In truth, his promotions have rarely been followed up by success at a higher level. If he was really successful he’d have managed a really big club and stayed for longer periods.

I suspect we turned him down, he probably didn't like that. Hence all the little jibes and digs over the years especially when LJ was in charge here like " I played against your Dad blah blah blah" We'd have signed Clint Hill and Sol Bamba plus Paddy Kenny and that horrible midfield enforcer.
