WITH Neil Warnock gone, Bury FC need to look to the future.

We will probably have to risk an untested managerial combination but at least let's choose someone with some allegiance to the club. I suggest pairing any two from Carter, Pugh, Jepson and Armstrong.

Nevertheless, recriminations are unavoidable. We need to remember that had Warnock been sacked last Christmas, we would not only be in the First Division but we would still be in the FA Cup!

For now though, let's be grateful for small mercies.

Those of us who have almost literally come "into contact" with the "Blades" know that Warnock and Sheffield United are truly a match made in heaven.
