That's got to be it now for Warnock, he needs to retire.
It's the only way to stop me rolling out of bed when I've been drinking this much.
Warnock has been a good manager, but so too for that matter have George Graham, Terry Venables and Ron Atkinson, but I doubt anyone would be suggesting them for a managerial position these days. The last success Warnock had was in getting QPR promoted 3 jobs ago, but he would have got them relegated had he not been sacked and would also have done with Palace this time around but for Parish's intervention, while his spell at Leeds did not go well. His time's up.
Why would you think that? He shows no signs of being an organised or competent manager. He might have been a good manager once (Average, at best in my opinion!), but he certainly isn't any more. He was effortlessly guiding Palace to relegation and he'd do the same here. He is, obviously, not a candidate.
Strange, isn't it? If we were in mid-table, we ought to want Warnock, because his record of getting clubs promoted to the top flight (Notts County, Sheffield Utd, QPR) is excellent. But because we're worse off we don't want him because his record of avoiding relegation is poor.
I quite like him personally, and his wife is charming - if he were really the tosser everyone thinks he is, a woman like her wouldn't have anything to do with him. And he once told me that he'd love to manage the Albion because of our fanbase - he remembered how we outnumbered and outsang Notts at Wembley. But I bet he says that to everyone ...
As a manager, he's led clubs to promotion to the top flight three times. That's three times the number of occasions as all the managers of Brighton & Hove Albion put together. People may not like him, but he's proved himself in the past.
.......well, he would.

Apart from Mullery, of course!
