Re: Warnock getting the band back together?

So you've stopped reading the book at the Chapter of Warnock's Championship success then? What happened next?

Warnock's poor transfer policy (as part of wider short-term thinking which CCFC has demonstrated until Harris came in) means we've not made the most of parachute payments and subsequently are unlikely to have genuine shot of promotion until 3.5 years after Warnock left.

What about 2019/2020, assume you don't think that was a ‘genuine’ chance which is ridiculous but presumably fits your argument. Plus, people keep banging on about Warnock wasting money. We lost money for Madine but got promotion with him in the squad, Reid was sold for roughly what we paid for him, Murphy, Smithies, Vaulks and a number of others are still Cardiff players, so we haven't lost anything on them. Some others we lost money on but we also sold Zohore for a £8m profit. What club hasn't lost money on players, including Liverpool, ManUtd etc etc. We also came within 3 points of staying in the Premier League in 2019 as well. All totally ignored of course in the general rush to criticise players, managers and ex managers at Cardiff City.

I liked all of them as players for us - and in most cases they had/have personality and presence - but I would be concerned about the 2021 vintage. Junior has faded and couldn't get on the pitch last season. Sol (who I wish can come back to CCFC in some capacity - just not as a first choice centre back) is 36 and recovering from injuries and serious illness. I can understand his wish to carry on playing but.... but! Kadeem Harris went backwards at Wednesday last season (I thought it was a mistake to release him at the time, and he had a good first season with the Owls) and seems to have some baggage with his father-agent to complicate things. Mendez was a major loss for us, but after getting a chance with Boro last season he didn't get back to his previous standard. Pato is a wild card with attitude - maybe a good signing, maybe not, but no manager will really know what to do with him - unless it is jack of all trades bench warmer.

Boro signing Matt Crooks from Rotherham. That makes more sense!

Re: Warnock getting the band back together?

To be fair, I think that an extra year for Bamba was the least the club could do after what was achieved with him here. It was worth it just to see if he could fully recover and we have no idea what the terms agreed for the extra year were anyway. Plus it would have seemed even more unfair if we had chucked him on the scrap heap bearing in mind he shortly after fell ill with cancer.

Why cant we all just remember what was achieved by Warnock anyway, instead of continually carping on about the last 6 months of his tenure. He came pretty damn close to keeping us in the Premier League as well, which would have been another miracle as everybody has us down as relegation certs, including quite a few of the people on here

And we got relegated. Imagine that.
