Warnock very critical of the club

He wouldn't have been allowed to be involved. The agreement from Norwich would have been to make sure he didn't start in that transfer window as he'd have had knowledge of their moves. He'd have been barred from starting work anywhere else until after that transfer window took place.
Also the mutual consent thing is likely that they'd agreed he was leaving, but he was staying on until Middlesbrough had confirms the start date of the new manager. He was more than likely told today it was definitely going ahead and this would be his last game. Unless he says something that directly contradicts that in the next few weeks, I think that's how you square the mutual decision with him being told this was the last game.

Why is it we have managers complaining about not getting say in signings and missing out all the time every time they leave. A full time recruitment team that’s overseen numerous managers still in their jobs. Everyone agreeing recruitment has been our downfall.
Yet people blame the manager and say we’ll done Gibbo every time??? Well done for what?

Even after he’s been sacked, the press are still scared to question his results and awful football. They just let him give excuse after excuse and blame everyone but himself.
No doubt he’ll be on the phone to his pals Jim White and Simon Jordan on Monday, probably be on Soccer Saturday next week.

If you mean Kieran Scott, then he is not Head of Recruitment he's Head of Football.
Besides, he only started his employment with the cub the day after the transfer window closed.

I think there's a bit of truth in his comments, but mixed with a healthy dose of revisionism.
He was effectively a dead man walking, given he was going in the summer, so it made no sense to go all in on supporting his own signings.
As it was he did pretty well given the quality and number of signings made this year, but he couldn't get a tune out of them and we've looked unbalanced, disjointed and unorganised for a while.
So whilst I have a little sympathy with him, it's nowhere near that which he suggests is due.

Like I said WE never sack our manager it’s always by mutual consent, except of course monk who we did very publicly SACK.Sounds like he was told he was leaving by mutual consent

Whilst I agree that something needed to be put in place given that NW would have retired at the end of the season I find it ridiculous that he has been told he is leaving "by mutual consent." It makes a complete mockery of the club's PR department. He may be a "Marmite Manager" but I've enjoyed his tenure a great deal more than many of his recent predecessors. And whilst results are more important than his banter, I'll definitely miss that.

Yes, got his job title wrong.
The point that he says only Gibson was supporting him still relevant though.

Yes I agree with that. But Warnock's criticism was about transfers so he could only have been referring to Bauser and the others in the recruitment/scouting departmant.

how many players did he sign in the the summer?

Only because we didn’t have to pay him off
The location is by far the biggest factor. Most players will choose another club over one in the North East. That's why Boro, Newcastle and Sunderland miss out regularly on first choice targets and end up paying massive wages to second or third choice targets.

Being abruptly told you're leaving doesn't sound particularly like a mutual decision, whatever the official line is.

That's up for debate, but maybe Crooks, Ikpeazu, Bamba, Peltier, at least.
But the fact remains that we were a team which was less than the sum of its parts under NW.

I notice that nobody has bothered to put up the Gazette article which is probably a resumé of the Tees interview (I've not heard it).
Just a couple of points from me, many people seem to be placing far to much importance on Kieran Scott's role, as if he's somehow running the show, he's not. My interpretation of Warnock's comments about not receiving the support of the club is clearly directed at Bauser who is Gibson's right-hand man and is in charge of negotiating transfer deals and day to day management in Gibson's abscence. Plus the recruitment department in general, I believe before Kieran Scott's appointment. We all know that department hasn't functioned well for a long period and I suspect Warnock has criticised their performance in-house, got their backs up and the clique closed ranks. Just my take.
PS I think some of the comments above show a real lack of class, but are no surprise in certain cases.
