So I think you will find that I was right in saying that Warnock should have
done better with his experience and the coaching staff he has.

Try and keep it civil old chap.
You are definitely on a wind up. Why on earth are you comparing the end of season figures? They include the dreadful start we made. Why include how many points we finished adrift of the playoffs? This season saw an unusually high points tally for finishing 6th. Why include league positions? Our league record in 2014/15 would have seen us 13th this season. I despair at trying to work out your lack of logic if you're not on a wind up.

In 2014/15, we had 13 points after 11 games when Slade took over. He won 49 points from 35 games.
In 2016/17, we had 8 points after 11 games (my OP says 7 which was a typo) when Warnock took over. He won 54 points from 35 games.

That is the valid comparison. There is no criticism of Slade involved here. It is my opinion that our recovery under Warnock is more remarkable due to the players at his disposal, we had a worse squad than Slade inherited; the standard of our performances under Trollope, which were dire and worse than they were under Solskjaer; plus our league position, where we were deeply in the mire.

Yet you seem to think he should have done better because 6th place in the league had more points than it did 2 seasons ago. Incredible.
