I suspect that Warnock's already been told he'll have the backing to give it a good go otherwise I don't think he'd have stayed.
I reckon our current squad is good enough to make the playoffs a realistic target, spend a bit of cash wisely and we could be pushing for automatic. Either way I'm anticipating an exciting season.
Only fly in the ointment is that I'm currently on holiday reading Warnock's book "the gaffer" great read but on more than one occasion he admits he's not very good at signing quality strikers.
