Neil Warnock has sensationally suggested he would be interested in becoming the new Sheffield Wednesday manager.The crisis-hit Championship side announced on Tuesday that Danny Rohl has left by mutual consent after nearly two years at the helm.Rohl has departed the financially-stricken WednesdayGettyAnd Warnock, who grew up a fan of rivals Sheffield United before managing them, would like the Wednesday jobtalkSPORTWednesday have been handed a number of embargoes due to their ongoing financial issues, including late payments to players.Rohl’s exit leaves them without a manager just days before they play their first match of the 2025/26 season at Leicester City on August 10, live on talkSPORT 2.His assistant, Henrik Pedersen, appears to be the favourite for the full-time job after extending his contract earlier in the month.But the door has been left open for Warnock to fill the vacancy, even though he previously managed bitter rivals Sheffield United.The legendary EFL boss guided them to promotion to the Premier League, as well as semi-finals in the FA Cup and League Cup.When asked by talkSPORT if he would be interested in the Wednesday hotseat, Warnock said: “Well, you’ve got to say yes. At my age? Deary me, but you never say never in anything.“It is a good club, and it does need managing, really. I think they’ve not had the sustained success… “I mean, the crowds are unbelievable and they’ve maintained that, whatever division they’ve gone down to. “It’s sad to see some of the players leaving now because of their contractual situations, but it will bounce back, all good clubs bounce back. “I was looking at the fixtures yesterday, I think it’s December, Sheffield United vs Wednesday, I was just looking at when I’m going to go and watch a game up there.”Warnock spent close to a decade at Bramall Lane with Sheffield UnitedGettyBut he appears happy to put rivalry aside with his interest in joining WednesdayGettytalkSPORT reported Warnock’s interest in the Wednesday job after they sacked Xisco Munoz in October 2023.Despite not being appointed, the 76-year-old has revealed that ex-owner Milan Mandaric once sought out his services.“I remember Milan Mandaric asked me and I said, ‘Yeah OK, I’ll do that.’ “But I said, ‘I’ll tell you what’, this was on a Friday afternoon, I said, ‘Have the weekend to think about it Milan, and have a word with your chief executive and one or two other staff. “‘If you still want me on Monday, I’ll come’, because I felt I had been let down at Sheffield United, so I thought I’d try it. “Then on the Monday morning, he rang me and said, ‘Neil, I know what you mean, we better leave it.’ So that was probably as close [as it came to joining a rival].”Warnock managed the Blades for 383 matches and won 165 timesGettyDespite a stint at boyhood club Sheffield United from 1999 to 2007, Warnock also spoke on the effect that Wednesday has on his career.“Sheffield Wednesday drove me on to almost be what I am, or what I’ve been,” he explained.“It was the best club around when I was a kid, I watched Pele take a penalty for Santos against Sheffield Wednesday in a packed house on a floodlit evening, and it was magical for me. “It’s sad. I know you have your rivalry, but it’s a really good club and Sheffield is a hell of a place. “I’m sure it will right itself, hopefully the owners will change hands and there’ll be some stability.”What went wrong at Wednesday?Wednesday, the second-oldest professional football club in England, have faced numerous financial problems under owner Dejphon Chansiri. They were found guilty of breaking EFL spending rules in July 2020 and started the 2020/21 season on -12 points.Although this was later reduced to -6 points, Wednesday finished bottom of the Championship and were relegated to League One.The EFL then enforced a registration embargo in October 2023 after Wednesday failed to pay a bill to HM Revenue and Customs.Chansiri asked fans to raise £2million in donations to help, but announced that the outstanding debt had been paid soon after.And as recently reported by The Sun, he won’t sell the club for less than £100m.With the new season just around the corner, the club’s iconic home of Hillsborough is facing a reduced capacity.Wednesday remain in a period of uncertaintyGettySheffield City Council issued a prohibition notice for its North Stand due to spectator safety.Fans are prevented from entering the stand, which has a capacity just shy of 10,000, until it’s deemed to be safe.
