Makes sense to me.
I agree that he can be tactically naive like a lot of old-school English managers and that his main assets are in motivating his team and firing them up.
Anyway, in regards to the sacking, it is very harsh indeed! They hadn't been in bottom 3 all year. Hadn't gotten the best out of talents like Taarabt yet and so things could improve and he saved the club from possibly going down to 3rd division when he took over and got them promoted a year after (maybe too soon).
In his defence, because of the protracted potential selling of the club all summer long, he wasn't given a chance to strengthen the team the way he would've wanted (Only Barton came in and Armand Traore but majority are 2nd division players) and then the selling didn't happen and transfer window closed, but when it did happen, it was now too late and Tony Fernandes bought club but no time to strengthen team UNTIL January and now that window opened again, he's gone! lol
So I feel for Neil and think he's been sacked very harshly! I mean look at the support the board have given other managers who've been at the bottom as well! Steve Kean still in job! Owen Coyle. QPR were never in serious threat in all of 1st half and did better than those 2 teams with lesser players and still out of relegation zone but he's been sacked in 'fear' of relegation. Well every team down there fears that. Half the league really. If anything stability is the way to go and not rocking the boat!
So I feel he's been harshly sacked and was not given the resources to strengthen in summer as the old owners weren't willing to back him and he had arguments with and by the time new owner came, transfer window was closed and in January where he'd get his 1st chance, he was sacked.
BUT, It's Neil Warnock! Who cares about him!

Not exactly the most likeable guy lol and a big whiner! Plus Mark Hughes is a great manager in my opinion and although I would normally be against getting rid of stability and bringing in someone new especially half way through season and when they didn't deserve to, IF Mark Hughes is to be the new manager, then I'm for it and think it's a good move.
