We were naive under

As soon as it started going wrong under MM the managers attitude followed the same , leading to a face saving ( fan sympathetic ) sacking for him, strange he has never really delivered success elsewhere.
Warnock year was both astonishing and cruel , he in my humble opinion deserved more credit ,and is the better manager of the two , dealing with ( nearly ) staying up and Sala must if been awfully tough for him and the club.
Referees will always bottle decesions in favour of the bigger clubs and managers ,simply
remembering the terminology ' Fergie time ' is the best example of that bottling .
Wish we had VAR ???
Still would have gone down the following year though in my humble opinion as we needed money and cash and a big chunk of that was swallowed into a very tradegic event that still haunts us .
