    50m spent in 12 months

    And at the end of the season we will have 1 central midfielder under contract.

    Shocking.

    It will be around £65 million now with the addition of Sala.

    For the people saying Warnock is struggling by in the Premier League with a lot of the team that were 21st in the Championship when he took over they've surely got to ask why after spending so much.

    Perhaps we should at least let our new signing play a game first?

    I included Sala to be fair.

    This 21st in the championship doesn’t wash with me.

    We were an established top half / promotion chasing championship side for best part of a decade.

    It’s was fairly early in season and we were not going to go down, the squad was too good.

    We were going down mate
    Neil saved us.Murphy and Reid cost peanuts in terms of the premier league.They are both young and could yet make the grade.
    The 2 latest signings are a sign we are moving up a notch.

    I don't think anyone can argue that Warnock has spent well since being here. It's the idea that he's also made the players worse that I'm pushing back against.

    We had 8 points from 11 matches when Trollope was sacked. Blackburn were relegated that season with 51 points.

    We were bad to be fair.

    I left that away end at Burton and didn't stop shaking my head and swearing under my breath until I reached the pub.
    I think the grumbling continued into the night.

    50 mill isnt alot in the prem though

    it could buy you maybe 1/2 of a Raheem Sterling

    people were calling for the club not to buy anyone and struggle on with the players we had ( which was silly imho ) in the knowledge that the club would have made a chunk of money

    Re: 50m spent in 12 months

    OLe’s last home game I was literally back home in Abertillery and the game was still playing.
    Fans forget how bad things got under Ole Slade and Trollope

    Read the OP again. We could be back in the championship having spent 50m and only have 1 central midfielder, not a very good one, who come through the ranks.

    The money has not been spent well.

    we could be, we could have spent 100 mill and be in the same position, imho i would prefer to spend and have a real bash at staying up

    This Sala just could be the missing piece, or maybe midfielder, its not my money its Vinnies, we are into him for far more than we could ever pay or even be worth if he sold us, I am just enjoying the ride

    The worry for me is not relegation but the next season. For all the money weve spent Joe Ralls will be the only recognised CM at the club.

    Yep, that’s my point. Shocking.

    You're really loving this aren't you? You don't half spout some rubbish but that is pretty good even by your standards. After every loss it's like someone's given you speed the amount of bile you manage to get onto this messageboard.

    We'd all love to be playing like a top team, and at some stage we'll have to change the way we play if we are really going to compete, but right now we're trying to improve the quality of players we have available to be able to implement a better playing style. This takes time - regardless of how much you or anyone else whinges that they want it to be otherwise.

    Agreed.

    What is it about centre midfield that we've never really got right? I reckon that Scimeca and McPhail was arguably our best centre midfield partnership in recent times. We've never had someone as comfortable on the ball and with as keen an eye for a pass as McPhail in over a decade. Saying that, we've never really had a front two like Bothroyd and Chopra either.

    We always seem to prefer grafters in the middle instead of footballers. I recall lengthy debates with Sludge back in the day over his idol Willie Boland.

    I hope that's true. I still feel that if we had Pogba and De Bruyne in midfield Warnock would be telling our defence to whack it 60 yards up field.

    Yeah I’m loving watching a pile of shit. Loving it.

    I’m not asking to play like Man City but it’s utterly embarrassing we can’t string 3 passes together.

    You keep burying your head in the sand though Mr Ostrich

    It was such a shame we didn't get promoted under DJ I think we would've done ok had we gone up. Scimeca was one of the finest midfielders I'd ever seen we had but he really had a shit deal with injuries as he was a lot better than what his final career showed
