Thanks Neil but goodbye

[Penarth Blues]

I won't normally defend DML's one-eyed view of the club but some of the comments on this thread are pathetic. We've just lost our captain and defence organiser and were always going to be up against it today.

So we lost. We were always going to struggle this season and knew it before we started. We all knew we couldn't change the entire team and style over one summer so NW went with trying to keep the spirit instead. We had virtually no chance yet have really punched above our weight anyway.

We're playing Premier League football due to a footballing miracle last season that has without doubt given the club hope of playing a further few years in the top two divisions and some of you want to ditch the man that has enabled that? I'd hate to have any of you playing in a team with me when the going got tough.

Lots of truth here. Punching above weight both last year and this. Dosent mean we can't expect to evolve and setting higher goals. This exactly the mediocre, "I'm happy to be alive" mentality I'm talking about. And i can promise you. You would love to have some of us in your corner..

We need to keep NW he has worked miracles, not great so far this year but sala to come in and niasse to gain match fitness will help considerably

This with bells on it

Neil came here with us in a relegation spot - 5 months later there was even whisper of a late tilt at the play offs as we shake our heads in disbelief
A year later he has more or less the same team fighting with Wolves, Derby, Fulham, Villa and Middlesbrough for promotion who have spent a fortune and we are shaking our heads in disbelief if he can keep it up
18 months later I'm surrounded by 30,000 Cardiff fans in the heat of a scorching May Day shaking my head in disbelief that a team of free transfers from Walsall and Rochdale have won promotion
24 months later despite the predictions of every 'expert' we'd be down by Xmas. At the end of January we are only one result from being out of the bottom 3.

I now shake my head in disbelief that our manager should even be questioned.

Yes we were shocking - we have been for a while but the man has worked bloody miracles to get this club to this position and deserves our respect not social media swipes.

Klopp couldn't make Peltier a flying full back or make Joe Ralls pass a football so feck knows who you think is going to come in and do a better job.

Truth was we were down before the season started but if there was one person who could have given us half a chance as he is actually doing it was Neil.

There are worse results to come - suck it up

Spot bloody on. Look, Pulis is better at keeping teams up. As is Big Sam. We couldn't afford either and in rare case of Wolff making a good point, neither would come to us. And besides, this team is awful. Whilst I question the money spent, the tactics, etc, without eleven new players no manage would have a better chance. The current team are only remotely good enough for playing Prem football because of the man management of Warnock, this lot would be well below Huddersfield with anyone else, and whilst I'm not one for sentiment, Warnock has proven himself enough that something big would have to happen for him to deserve the sack.

This team is 'Awful' because of the manager. I'm not saying that they were great to start with, but Warnock has little or no faith in them as individuals to try and play. Apart from Etheridge (and that would be Andy Dibble) who has improved under him?

Bamba? Morrison? Ralls? (still not good enough but better) Camarasa?

Blimey, Warnock’s taken us from 21st in The Championship to The Premier League, but we want a legacy as well.

Most managers that turn things around as quickly as Warnock did ( although i don't believe that we were as bad as some think) have done something revolutionary-In most cases the playing staff have become more football intelligent with a few additions added to the squad. Warnock did do something different, he decided on playing with wingers and to get the ball forward as quickly as possible. In most cases this wouldn't be enough, i believe that Warnocks man management and belief in players makes them give that extra 10%, and that, along with the implementation of a no nonsense approach can be affective at Championship level. But what is there when it doesn't work-What's the plan b? If we go down it will take another manager years to put things in place where we have a style and system that's sustainable.

Was we lucky to notch up 90+ points in the championship last season? I hate this notion that we're lucky to be here ffs we earned the right to be here, Newcastle aren't great and this should've been a game we was targeting to gain points from yet we rolled over like a pig in mud, I just struggle to see what our game plans are we just lump it towards pato no matter what, you see the difference in man utd where under mourinhio the shackles were so far on it effectively held them back we're playing hoillet because he tracks back but offers very little going forward yet it doesn't really make a difference yet Murphy who it looks like he is being punished from the spurs game yet others who have made multiple mistakes get away with it week in week out, if we try the same style against arsenal we will get battered
