    I hope he stays. Best thing to happen to our club and he's still building. Things have gone against us but you can't blame Warnock for one turgid performance.

    Yes you can! It was a must win game and he went for 0-0 hoping for a goal at the death to win it. That’s 1970’s management.

    To be fair that is what got us automatic promotion, we knew what we are signing up for.
    A poor game today yes, however when the emotions settle, I will still want him next year.

    Well I’d rather something more attacking and skilful football and enjoy the games more. Cardiff City tv put out old games under Jones which had some breathtaking football from our attacking players. Poor defence but give me that every day over Warnockball

    Looks like this debate will run and run...

    is it just one turgid performance though?

    I disagree that he's still building, his philosophy is geared up for the short term, he doesn't leave a legacy at any of the clubs he manages. There is no playing style foundation being put in place.

    Exactly and, to be fair to him, he has always said that he only thinks in the short term at his age.

    It seems a good time to think of a change of direction now, but there is a risk involved because, although his style of football grates with me, it has to be accepted that Warnock is very good at some aspects of the manager's job and we'd struggle to get someone as good as him in those.

    He originally came in to turn the club around and stop our slide.
    He did that and congratulations to him but the future blocks is not something he is good at, or cares about.
    My fear is that trying to change back to a footballing club is a long process and one which several of our current players would undoubtedly fail.

    He's had to start from. scratch
    The academy was fcuked.
    Holliet Etheridge. Patterson. Lang.Bamba.
    all signed.
    Reid & Murphy. will improve.
    Cunningham is a decent championship player.
    The downside Tomlin & Madine
    I wouldn't be surprised if we have a, similar influx of players this time.
    Use the parachute money wisely and the Bluebirds will fly again
