Having seen a warlord played in 4E, and a warlord-esque battlemaster in 5E, by the same player, I've come to the conclusion that there's just no room for a warlord class in 5E. Not without overshadowing the battlemaster.
Now, some additional battlemaster options--a few more "ally-moving" maneuvers and maybe even a maneuver that lets an ally spend a hit die or otherwise heal a bit--would be doable, and should make the battlemaster a better fit for those who want a warlord. But it really is 85% of the way there already.
I really don't get this. That's like saying there's no room for a wizard because there's the eldritch knight. A warlord could have fewer attacks, HP, ability increases etc than the battlemaster, but more maneuvers, and more importantly, higher level and better maneuvers that cost more dice to initiate. Let them break the action economy the same way that summons/animate dead already does.
