Well, there’s certainly no doubting his pedigree.
Having guided eight teams to promotion over the course of his career, a record in English football, then he certainly fits the bill when it comes to what the Blues board are reportedly after in the new boss.
Although it’s fair to say that he also comes with a lot of baggage and controversy, so the question is really one of, is he worth the trade off?
I’m talking of course about Neil Warnock. The 71-year-old is just one of a number of names that is being bandied about when it comes to the soon to be vacant head coach’s spot at Birmingham City following Pep Clotet’s announcement last week.
And when his name was put up on social media for fans to discuss the pros and cons of him coming to St Andrew’s, as you’d expect with such a controversial figure, the fanbase was pretty split over the idea.
Definitely not, he should be drawing his pension.

For me it's a HELL YES!
The sojourn we've had from the game has brought home a realisation for me:
It ain't the style of football that matters. Just give me football — ANY football — on 3pm Saturdays!
Warnock is made for #BCFC 😎

After witnessing the stunt he tried to pull. Sheffield Un v The Baggies. Telling a player to stay down. To get the game abandoned. Don’t want him anywhere near my club.

What about you? Would you want Warnock in charge of Birmingham City?
