Warnock gone!!

[NaeMairNeeps]

Apparently, Neil Warnock has 'stepped aside' following the cup QF win v Killie ..

Mental - I am pleased he's away, but the timing is weird! Interesting to see who is through the door - please not Lennon...

[Don Julio]

Well, he was definitely box office. And a good note to exit on. Unless there’s an NDA I expect a bit more box office to come. Walking away from a cup semi final must have been a wrench.

Baffling from the club, I hardly had time to get the kettle on back in the van after the match today before I got the news Warnock was away. He came here stating he wanted to win the Scottish cup, lets face it anything in the league was done, so why get rid of him minutes after our best display in a long long time getting us to another semi final?

I'm presuming it wasn't him wanting to go (can't see it from a manager of his pedigree) so who made this decision?

[swaddon2]

He did say in his interview that it was a mutual decision for him to go.

Not sure I buy that. Something aint right.

Mutual means he was fired

[Shetland Don]

Mutual means he was fired

I doubt that. Mutual in this case likely means that they came to a mutually convenient arrangement. In other words, he was paid off for most, if not all of, the remainder of his contract, told to b***** off and they then signed a confidentiality agreement. But Warnock, in his closing speech, basically said that he’d set up everything nicely for the new incoming manager. Such *******s.

At the end of the match as he walked across the pitch you can see him repeatedly shaking his head.

Maybe Junior Hoilett will be his gift to AFC.

Ah've been cautiously impressed by Hoilett ... even in our recent defeats. If the guy continues tae play like he did today, then, in spite o' aathin Ah've said aboot Warnock, and in spite o' the fact Ah'm glad he's gone, Ah'll be thankful for the 'gift' and wish him well.
