I don't believe it for a second, Warnock's just stirring the pot for his own amusement

No. And to add to that Mike Flynn wasn't anywhere near appointment, though he was of interest, as suggested elsewhere.

Glad to have you back. Missed you not being around lately.
Nice to have titbits from the inside track.

That old article may make him look very foolish and not a very good judge of young players.

I can't believe for a moment that they considered him. Once bitten...............

This is Vincent Tan and Mehmet Dalman we're taking about.....

Warnock makes the point about u23 football and it's ability to mould players with that bit of an edge needed for a young player to succeed. I wonder if he's got a point about that. Whenever I've watched u23 football it does have quality, but not that level of intensity that we see at pro level.

Warnock often talks in extremes and some of his comments in that piece are a bit daft. However, I reckon people need to keep things in perspective and not expect too much from these kids. After all, City are fifth from bottom and have just emerged from a record-breaking run of defeats. Plenty of reasons for that and it's obviously not down to the youngsters alone, but by the same token it's not as if they've been sweeping all before them. It's very early days and the local rag's habit of branding them a 'golden generation' of academy players is not only premature but it's almost as stupid as Warnock's comments.

Like everything else in life there has to be a balance. We need players to be coming through from the ranks, but we cant expect them to turned into seasoned pros overnight. On the other hand, we cant have a team of 30+, nearing the end of their careers.
As has been said many times, Warnock did a lot of good for the club but left it with a lot of problems, not least of all players on long lucrative contracts who may have peaked in terms of their careers.

I think it's fair to say that Colin has been around the footballing block considerably more times than VT, MD or KC and I wouldn't be surprised if Colin ran rings around the lot of them. MD's announcement that Colin went behind the backs of him and KC to persuade VT to sign Sala was enough to give the impression that they wouldn't want to go through all that again.

I read that and thought the same but I had never heard him suggest playing in the Cymru Premier League before and have to say I'd love for us to play in that league in some capacity. Before anyone jumps on me here, I stress, I have no idea of the complexities of U23 football and how playing in that league could even be possible. Is it viable? Am I the only one who would like to see us involved? Is it a stupid idea? If so, why?

There was some talk a few years back of our u23s playing in Cymru Prem, but nothing came of it.
Not sure about that myself and the precedent it might set.
