Neil Warnock

I was watching that from Rocky IV, you know, last night.

Neil Warnock tried to do that.

Well, allegedly, tried to do that in a game Sheffield United were playing against West Brom.

Yeah, get them down to seven players.

Maybe we'll find out how ambitious his owner is, but I know that we are restricted up until next season.

that's right you're not just going to be able to speak to dutch is is a high profile manager what you're going to have to go through his advisors and they're just going to say well what we're talking money wise what's your plans then they'll probably just say i'm not we're not going to put him forward because you're wasting your time that's how the higher profile managers work so it's just you're not going to get a conversation with him i mean because we It wasn't Warnock a high-profile manager.

Not at Dyches' level, no.

He went to

But a good manager can outdo your budget.

And I'll tell you one.

Neil Warnock did it.

He kept us up.

But the clubs you've identified there are clubs who've got people in place higher up the food chain who have demonstrated, whether it's at those clubs or clubs they've worked at previously, an ability to have that sort of seamless transition should the worst case happen.

And obviously, when you talk about a team and a club that have gone from Derek McInnes to Stephen Glass to Jim Goodwin to Barry Robson to Neil Warnock to Jimmy Talline to Steven Robinson, with various heads of recruitments and various sporting directors and various chief executives in place along the way, plus... 500 players little exaggeration but it's probably not that far off yeah that's clearly not something that we have implemented and until we can do so you're likely to see a lot more of what we're talking about And the problem, I guess the biggest problem then is that if you take it at face value, that what was kind of being said in the summer that we've had to sort of pay for all the blunders in the football operation, all the signings that have gone wrong, all the managers that need to be sacked and replaced.

And that's a big part of why we had to like cut budgets.

And that's why we're not talking about the level player we've brought in as opposed to, you know, we're spending money under, under Robson, spending money under Taline.

Go on, Hugh.

I was managed by Sam Allardyce, Oney Coyle and Neil Warnock.

I played with Marvin Andrews, Charlie Adam and Jack Butland.

I won a lower league in Scotland before going on to represent my country.

Humiliated.

But anyway, as I was multitasking, as I was multitasking tonight and watched that game, I also noticed that Neil Warnock is back in charge at QPR.

Isn't that interesting? Now, something you and I predicted might happen when we heard he'd gone back in an advisory capacity as football director.

You'd have to say, if you're a manager of any football club, Neil Warnock gets hired as a kind of advisor, stroke, you know, sort of sleeping giant.

Trojan horse, whatever you might want to call it.

You're not going to be there for very long, really, are

you? I mean, got nothing against Neil Warnock.

Hey, I'm going to enjoy myself, me.
