For me Warnock gives his teams purpose and belief allied with organisation.
He has his critics regarding the style or lack of but he is a man who normally comes in to difficult situations and tends to turn them around.
He certainly has given the City a lift and you can see that there is the basis for a team that can challenge for the play off positions next year, subject to some decent transfer deals.
Before he came here I used to get a fair amount of grief on here for standing up for him but hopefully most will now agree that , at this level, he is one of the most astute operators around.
