One of our best managers, considering the amount of shit ones we've had I find it fascinating the dislike he gets.

Promotion season probably one of the most enjoyable I've had in the 20 odd years I've been following. Especially considering the position we were in.

I can forgive a few catchphrases and poor transfers. He's not the reason we are where we are, far from it.

Do we have a transfer committee or don't we?

If they do feel they should be part of a transfer committee but admit to having one man get crap deals across the line then why are they there?

The transfer committee are a contradiction. On one hand they oversee transfers with the big cheese ultimately having the final say. Cry foul that they know little about actual transfers when giving the green light to one man's recommendation for transfers that then went wrong.

I'll also add that Warnock is probably well in the black on the money into the club as opposed to what he took out with promotion and parachute payments.
Let's be honest here, a man can only take the pi$$ as much as you as a club will let him. Sadly our lack of knowledge left him with free reign to do what he liked really.

The parties that organised the fateful Sala flight were his cronies, he was part of their seedy operation, Willie McKay seemingly the main man although banned as an agent. His useless sons were on our payroll, all part of the transfer scams Warnock was involved in. How Warnock’s involvement wasn’t investigated further God knows. He was dealing, admittedly through others, with a banned crooked agent, a few nests were being feathered through the deal, Warnock’s undoubtedly one of them. He’s admitted the whole Sala affair affected him badly......and so it bloody should, it was a dodgy deal from the off regardless of the horrible outcome.

The Sala affair is still battering the club now (and will be in the future). This and his other ‘noose around our neck’ contracts handed out to :facepalm:players has had a massive effect on us to this day. The man rinsed us.

We were still in the Premier League when the Sala stuff kicked off.

We had that years Premier League money plus the parachute payments to pay it off and pursue whatever legal route we wished to from there on.

The Sala stuff is still battering us now due in large part with the way the club dealt with it than the matter itself. We are still making mistakes in relation to the whole legal matter until very recently.

I suspect it has been investigated byy the club and its lawyers internally, and is one of the reasons Tan now puts Warnock in the same category as Mackay. The problem Tan has is that he and his cronies were fully complicit with Warnock's transfer dealings. Mackay's sons didn't end up on City's payroll by accident.

Being in the Premier League isn’t really an issue in the situation. Warnock was involved in a transfer that was dodgy as f*ck. From what we’ve learnt since, he went against the, not fit for purpose admittedly, transfer committee and cut them out completely to push the deal through. Was the main objective to vastly improve the side or a great opportunity for him and McKay to make a nice few bob? Most probably both reasons but he was out to milk the club and illegally use an unlicensed agent. Why hasn’t he been brought to book?

Yes, the club’s hierarchy have acted disgracefully over the issue and should have squared things up while we were in receipt of Premier League money. But, Warnock ate into that Premier League money considerably with his dodgy deals through agents that he favoured, ridiculous deals that had repercussions well after his departure. I wonder if he had any kickbacks:sherlock:(no need for the Sherlock really, was there?)

Of course I realise that our incompetent board have repeatedly f*cked up but I also realise that Warnock preyed on their ineptitude in football finance matters and I still insist that he rinsed us. His employment of McKay’s sons for no apparent football reason and involvement with the disgraced McKay himself deserves nothing but contempt.

Being in the richest league in the world when you've been billed for £15 million is exactly part of the issue. Why did we now pay the money when the club was in the big time? That is the point I'm making. Even put the money aside?

He didn't go against the transfer committee. He went to the head of the transfer committee, Tan, who gave the green light.

Warnock is a master manipulator. You get the upside of moulding a squad and overachieiving but you get all the flip side of that. I remember Bacuna's transfer and the length of it being a head scratcher for many on here but obviously fine for those involved with the club.

Josh Murphy (£11 million) and Greg Cunningham (£4 million) were Warnock's main targets after promotion to the Premier League. Great work.

"Neil Warnock did a good job taking us up, but then he created a bad side and bought the wrong players. Murphy cost £11 million, hardly scored any goals, then left on a free transfer.

He was never worth that money. I was conned. Stupid buys. The manager recommended them, pushed very hard, but we won't be making those mistakes again. What happened is still fresh in my mind. We will have more careful checks in the future." (Vincent Tan, November 2022)

It’s a miracle we even got close to staying up when you look back at who he signed…..bobby Reid was the only half decent one and he never played him. :hehe: throw Madine in, what a waste of £50 million. Tan would have been better off spending nothing.

It would be interesting to see Warnock's record when it comes to signing strikers (Over his career) Probably the most difficult of positions to get right, especially with the way Warnock played the game, but i bet it wasn't great.

VT knows what he's doing.

He's head of the Transfer Committee.

Shows how over a season or so he can get players to play, if it hadn't been for Henderson and Ibbotson, I am 99% certain we would have got an extra 2 plus points with the second-best goal-scoring Striker in France for that half-season.

Someone mention Harris getting Warnock failed signings to the playoffs, it just shows they weren't that bad, it's just that they had bad attitudes and a lack of desire to consistently perform like most pro footballers eventually they get the Managers sacked.

I'm astounded that the club allowed a 15 million pound asset to fly in that Tin Can, no Diligence on the clubs behalf. I'm not blaming the club for the accident, but surely someone should or would have liked to have known sala's travel arrangements after his supposed refusal to take a domestic flight. People but expensive cars from abroad and they know the travel arrangements, shipping, carrier etc, i bought a crappy watch for £6 from china which worked for a month and i had the option of tracking my parcel! Sala could have been arriving in a Hot air baloon and i don't think that anyone at theclub would have raised an eyebrow. We're talking about a 15 million pound asset, sorry to sound so clinical, but that is what he was to the club.

Agree that it's a tin pot operation, yes they can't hold the player's hand and watch him every hour of the day, but to have rules about only using recognised flights for travel and leisure should be a basic rule, as with dangerous sports.

The sad thing is with hindsight, every club in the Country will have now tightened everything up and something like this will probably never happen again.

Wrong wording, from our perspective, if it had happened to another club before we wouldn't make the same mistake.

No good has come out of this, but I suppose people are aware of the danger of using these tinpot flight operators.

He might have more tears in his eyes in a month or two just had a look at their fixtures
Burnley away
Coventry home
Bristol City Home
WBA away
Norwich Home
Millway away
Boro home
Watford away
Blackburn home

Not many easy games in that run of games

I'd love it if Huddersfield lose every one of them and we send him and his fake fist pumps down :hehe:

And yet, somewhat ironically, you are 'triggered' by Neil Harris - a guy who inherited the expensively-assembled side Warnock had guided to 14th in the table and took them into the play-offs.

Warnock is a very good motivational manager but limited. We were never going to do it, but I would have got a new man in after promotion. Easy with the benefit of hindsight I know.
