00:00 - Well, it moves on very, very quickly.
00:02 See you later, Cisco.
00:04 Who's next?
00:06 Alex, as the secretary, chairman,
00:12 and founding member of the Neil Warnock Fan Club,
00:16 I would suggest you to begin banging the drum
00:21 to see him at Hillsborough.
00:23 - Yeah.
00:28 - You're gonna die for the manager, it's you.
00:30 - Yeah, I just can't.
00:34 Look, there is the backdrop of one thing in particular
00:40 that he said very much tongue in cheek, I think.
00:42 I mean, not knowing him, but you know,
00:45 having been a football fan and speaking to people
00:50 that do know him, you know,
00:52 and there was a period of his career
00:55 where it was sort of a bit tongue in cheek.
00:58 I think there's certain things to say
00:59 about Geoffrey Wednesday,
01:00 but we know that he nearly took the job 10 years ago,
01:04 a bit longer maybe, when Milan was running the show.
01:08 So, just to make perfect sense,
01:13 it's the clear-cut, perfect situation
01:17 for Neil Warnock to a pure football extent.
01:20 The concerns that there would be a split down the fan base,
01:24 I don't know about you, Joe, in terms of the reaction
01:25 when there's been stuff mentioned about Warnock.
01:29 It seems to be quite a small minority now.
01:32 I know it's not always the best gauge,
01:34 but a smallish minority that sort of revile at the idea,
01:39 I think, because it's-
01:41 - It feels like there are a lot more people
01:46 able to stomach it than they possibly would have done
01:50 in the past.
01:51 I think that's possibly the best way of doing it.
01:53 They'd absolutely rather not find themselves
01:55 in this position,
01:56 but they're just gonna have to pay the bill.
01:59 And it kind of feels like that's how-
02:02 - Possibly.
02:03 I think it's a healthy percentage that sort of appreciate,
02:08 I don't know, I think Warnock's style has changed
02:09 probably in the last 10 years,
02:11 and he's less antagonistic,
02:16 and we're having a bit of a problem.
02:19 And I don't know, I just think,
02:25 in terms of cut through the naysayers,
02:28 I think he could be quite effective in doing that.
02:32 I watched the GPR documentary,
02:35 the four-year plan not long ago,
02:37 the way he handled certain things
02:39 under an ownership group that was a little bit volatile.
02:43 Yes, Lino at Leeds as well.
02:49 So he's got experience in all the right areas,
02:51 and in terms of firefighting,
02:53 I mean, no one, no one gave Huddersfield anything.
02:56 All the chat was, "This is the one that will fail."
03:00 And he managed to do it,
03:02 and he managed to do it quite handsomely,
03:04 not too far away, the Rotherham job.
03:05 Feels as close to a carbon copy as Wolf's grow up.
03:09 Obviously, this is over a longer period,
03:12 but he's worked with players before,
03:14 I think Pato, Will Bolt, off my head,
03:19 and a couple, Marvin at Middlesbrough.
03:22 So it just feels like a very, very good fit.
03:26 And apart from anything else, I think we'd have a lot of fun.
03:31 - Yeah, from a selfish press point of view,
03:36 it'd be absolutely brilliant.
