But I was just thinking back to us playing Scarborough in 1987. Young Neil was their manager.
They had just been promoted to the football league. My vague memory is one of going home from plainmoor totally pissed off and frustrated. Beaten by this bunch of part timers cloggers 1 nil.
If my memory is correct they scored against the run of play and then proceeded to lump the ball miles out of the ground at every opportunity. I had never seen anything so bizarre in my life. I went home hating Scarborough and Neil Warnock. Neil knows how to hang on to a lead.
A young Neil looking forward to their first season in the football league. Putting up the fences for the visit of Wolves.
Remember it well. Then when later visiting teams came to Plainmoor and kicked one out of the ground we'd all chant "Scarborough, Scarborough" !
He would be getting results out of this lot that's for sure.

You are right. He would soon make men of boys. I remember Darren Moore improved and got young player of the year.
He's a marmite manager. If he's yours, you love him, the opposition, you hate him.
From what I remember, (though I don't trust my memory much anymore) we'd played well but ultimately lost 4-3 at Argyle and then had been abysmal in that 1-8 defeat to Scunthorpe. Those defeats seemed terrible until this season
But yes,the change was instant, they would smash players, the ball anywhere away from danger. The spirit was amazing and most of us wished he'd stayed on.
Would be happy if he was part of a consortium, his knowledge, contacts would be very beneficial. But even if it's just helping out in the short term, we thank him

Hope he gets a good reception tomorrow.
8-1 home defeat to Scunthorpe was after Neil Warnock's time at Plaimoor.
Great to see him back this afternoon, I sat next to him at Derby cupatch, when TUFC did not want him there in case he upset GJ. Neil is a fantastic FOOTBALL man. If appointed 18 months ago, we would never of been relegated. Get him on board as a owner, manager, CEO....anything the fans want him. WE NEED HIM.

Fresh from being unveiled as Torquay United’s new Football Advisor earlier this month, Neil Warnock is bringing his very successful national one-man show ‘Are You With Me?’ to Torquay’s recently-refurbished Princess Theatre on Friday, 28th June (7.30pm), with all profits going to TUFC!
Celebrity Gulls fans Helen Chamberlain and Charlie Baker will also be joining Neil on stage, making this is an unmissable event for Gulls supporters…and football fans everywhere!
With Warnock’s remarkable career in football spanning nearly 60 years, this event is expected to sell out quickly, with tickets available from the Princess Theatre, Torquay website on Tuesday 4th June at 10am.
