The general consensus seems to be that it was the right time for Whitts to go, even you agree with that, so I'm not sure what the problem is. Warnock gave him plenty of chances last season, if he'd just wanted energy in the midfield then he could have gone with O'Keefe but he obviously wanted to try and integrate Whitts' quality in there but it didn't work out. Even then he was prepared to have him as a squad player, on a salary that no other Championship side seemed prepared to better, but Whitts decided to move down a division to get regular football. His choice.
I didn't feel he was scapegoated by the fans, far from it, his name was being sung right to the end. I don't remember him being given a hard time since the Norwich game in 2014, maybe I've been missing something. Surely you don't think he should be immune from any criticism on here? If you're not happy with it, put forward a case for him rather than resorting to mockery and abuse all the time. Plenty of big Whitts fans on here but they don't seem too keen to jump to your defence in this thread.
