My heart nearly sank then when I came on and read this title. I really did panic thinking 'surely not'! Relieved to read the second message.
What would we achieve sacking him now?
He's had a bad run after a phenomenal 12 months (when we probably outperformed ourselves).
What would a new manager be able to do in 7 very difficult games?
I would genuinely be shocked and really disappointed if we sacked him. I still believe he has the right intentions and that the club has moved forwards a lot in his tenure.
If it's the Daily Fail reporting, then I'm not worried. They spout more lies and rubbish than the Sun (which is who Talk Sport get most of their stories from). Nothing happening thankfully
and to be honest its a shock to the system the way we just have gone from feeling like we will never lose to feeling like we will never win again.
thats how i feel anyway
yes hes done a great job but this period over the past 2 months has been unbelievable. The lack of signings in January in areas we needed strengthening like up front is going to cost Warburton i think, not now though at end of season if this run of form continues what choice do the board have? the demise has been shocking
from certain shoe ins for play offs to no chance at all.
will need a miracle to save his job i think and if he gets anything from the next 3 games will be that miracle 6-7 points might not even be enough over the next 3 games i doubt we will even get 3 or 4 but im hoping.
there must be more to this because from the outside looking in he seems to have lost the dressing room. the squad must not have liked the signings of Sanderson or Hendrick because as soon as they arrive the squad dont have a togetherness you cant leave Barbet out one week Dunne the next and play sanderson and lose and keep things sweet in dressing room
he did do a great job nobody can deny that but lets be honest you cant get away with the kind of results he has over the past 2 months (i think hes gone this week )
i really like Warbs and want him to stay but the board must be seeing whats happened in the dressing room.
still no certain striker playing each week were never sure who will play left back.
he did have January to put this right but IMHO hes just upset areas that didnt need strengthening the back 3 didnt need sorting and we had so many options in midfield already
Even if you sit on the side of sacking him surely you now wait and review the situation in the summer? Then you have time and can take stock of the season as a whole and look at 'where we go from here'
Why risk sacking him right now and then having a new guy immediately out of favour if he can't get any wins in the rest of the season anyway?
Then we'd have a new manager who nobody likes already by May and the whole atmosphere around the club will be toxic!
I agree there is no point sacking him now The play offs has gone,we simply don’t have the players now capable of achieving it no matter who’s in charge But we are having a terrible run and one of worst form teams in the league and I personally can’t see us winning a game any time soon I’m not a very happy fan at the moment,his recent team selections have been baffling at times and has he lost the dressing room now He has done a great job on a low budget but I personally feel we need a change of directon next season and some new ideas Lots of you maybe won’t agree but that’s what I’d like to see because at the moment it’s dire and we are playing crap football
I personally think warburton has been slightly unlucky compared to other clubs too Because look at Fulham they have a goal machine Where would they be without mitrovic 37 goals this season They also have a midfield feeding his goals but we had no striker this season to brag about and goals is what’s been our problem and lack of them last couple of months Brentford last season had Toney again he scored 30 plus goals Next season a priority is a striker and we need a good one because we’d of made of the play offs easily if we had a decent one on board right now

Agree he's been unlucky. He's rarely been able to name his first choice 11 all season due to injuries. Field missed the first half of the season and then Dieng/Chair missed January, Dykes then missed 7 games, Willock now out for the run in etc.
If Dieng hadn't got injured, followed by Willock we'd be in a better position.
And who would have predicted we'd be in April and Austin would still be on just 4 League goals? We all thought he would be on at least 12-15 goals. That's made a huge difference. Warburton would have banked on those goals. Unlucky again.
It's always easy to say 'get a better striker'. There are never guarantees. Austin is a prime example. Every single QPR fan thought he was the answer and he hasn't been. Same thing could happen to new signings A, B and C next season.
It's just lazy reporting because every manager is on the verge of being sacked. Whilst it may not have been a surprise after the Peterborough loss most teams are going to get beaten by Fulham.
To sack him now would be just be a knee jerk reaction and unless they want to bring back Neil Warnock whose available anyway. We missed our chance when Steve Cooper and Dean Smith were available.
I think the board have been very patient with Warburton because they could and should have sacked him in 2020. but they let him stay, they've allowed him to sign the players he wants and given him more money than any of the recent bosses. Yesterday's team were all Warburton signings and so are most of the squad.
Amit and the board won't kick him out just yet and for me it wouldn't make sense. What I do think will happen is that the board will wait until the end of the season take stock, see whose available and if there is a better manager available the change will happen.
What doesnt help Warburton is that the next match against Sheffield Utd is just as difficult as yesterday and the call for his head will get louder should we lose.

Playing devil's advocate here, they could always ask John Eustace or Chris Ramsay to take over for the remainder of the season. However, I think we should consider that a prime cause of us sacking our manager has not come into play: the fans are not baying for his blood! When that happens they Board may make that (wrong) decision to sack him, but for me the failure has been on the field - and largely up front.
