Warnock is planning on staying beyond end of season, listen to his comments on Burke at weekend he said, that one is dead now until the summer, does that sound like someone who is leaving end of season no. gfh when they came in said Warnock was partly the reason behind them buying the club, there plan along with Warnock, which will prob already have been agreed is to consolidate this season then invest in the summer and have a right go then, come on did there actions in the transfer window give you the impression they were planning on promotion this season no, because if they did you can guarantee it wouldn't have been habibou on loan it would have been Burke at any cost, so they won't sack Warnock because deep down this season isn't what matters next season is, different story if he loses 3 out of 5 games or something next season he would be gone then.
I totally agree, next season GFH will say to Warnock get us promotion and here is x amount of money. They are not stupid people. People have been doubting em since they have come in but some people like yourself know the real deal.
I know what you're saying, but remembering Warnock's comments from when he first arrived, he basically said this (12-13) would be his last season and "one more shot" at getting a team promoted (mostly to satisfy his ego). Nigel Adkins ftw MOT!
Disagree. NW merely reporting information. He's gone in may in my opinion.
If they wanted longevity they would be looking at a manager who ISN'T on the verge of retiring, either this year or maybe next. .
Problem is they are losing supporters through not engaging with them and a lack of investment in the team, many of us fans have stopped going who have gone for decades, they claim to know how the fans feel and still kept Bates on big mistake massive.
Lol burke wouldn't get us up anyway he's very average
I'm sick of hearing, "this season is not what matters, next season we are going for it" been listening to that bull for last 3 years! Every season matters!

burke is a decent player but with is contract running out was not worth the 750k + asking price when a few months down the line pay nothing.
i think our defense as finally molded together and we can push forward. I don't think it will change anytime soon so looks like warnock will be on the bench until whites performances drop off.
yes N. warnock did say he was only having this season but I feel he has still got the hunger for the game and will stay another season if we don't get promoted this season.
we are still in a strong position in the league to go for playoffs.
if we don't go up I don't think we need much more than a couple wingers added to the squad. maybe a striker depending on how habibou turns out and a creative midfielder as we can't sign barkley on a permanent deal.
Warnock is gone in the summer, GFH have already been putting feelers out to get the man that they want at the helm, from what I have heard he is employed by a club at the moment so GFH are in discussions about compensation with the board of that club.
They want to keep the talks out of the limelight at the moment and haven't released any clues about who they want so there are no media distractions from the talks and it doesn't disrupt Leeds's season or the players of the club he is leaving.
Pretty sure that their activity in the transfer window signalled an intent to do the best they could this season without overspending on players as clubs so often do in this window.
It's an elastoplast transfer window - only any good for desperate consolidation to avoid relegation, or getting that extra important player in for that final push.
We've strengthened the squad without breaking the bank. Have no doubts - we will go for it the rest of this season, it makes no sense not to. Whether we do it or not, the summer transfer window signals our true intent.
GFH won't stick with Warnock. His tactics are making the fans unhappy and keeping them away which is not what they want. If Warnock stays expect another season of hoofball that won't get us anywhere.
Agree with one of the posters above though it would be nice if GFH came out and did a press conference to tell us there long term plans, I'm guessing though that it may unsettle some of the current staff both backroom and playing and so they are waiting till the season ends.
Just my personal opinion is that Neil Warnock will want to complete what he came here for, whichever season that might be, But! Leeds have out played their last two opponents, are 6 points behind a play-off place, and there’s 51 points up for grabs – I don’t think ANYBODY in the club has written off that it might be this season.
I don't think Warnock has given an other vibe than wanting to get the job done but within the time frame given last year. Agree with others he's unlikely to be around next season.
Adam Pearson in at top level, Bates removed from club completely and an ambitious younger manager needed and only then will the crowds and season ticket holders return.
Its simple. warnock has bitten off more than he can chew and now the owners are unsure what to do, so they have not gone crazy in jan. makes sense. I think nw will be here next season and I think he will be backed in the summer. watch this space. mot!
