Trying to be even handed about this, I would argue that Warnock’s “plucky little Cardiff” line was partly responsible for a disastrous first three months of the season (admittedly we did have several very testing fixtures during this time). Then we had a spell of about five months where we won enough matches to almost claw back the gap with Brighton and you can’t just say that Warnock played no part in that improvement, but we then got that Fulham game all wrong and we lost what was a winnable home game against a Palace team with nothing to play for and so all of that good work was undone.
He lost his top signing and felt some guilt no doubt, that flight ended our season in two ways we lost the 2nd best french goal scoring striker (for the first half of that season) and it affected Warnock and derailed our season.

If he had taken a regular flight and missed a few hours of training we would have stayed up and done miles better than Luton.
