Re: Neil Warnock

£5m on Madine, £1.5m on Tomlin, £1.6m on Ward, £700k on Bogle, £400k on Paterson. Shoestring?

That's without counting the wages, signing fees etc of his free transfers or the fact he was adding to a good Championship squad that cost millions anyway

Only Paterson got in our best side, as well...

Hoilett Zohore NML
Ralls Patto Gunnar
Bennett Bamba Morrison Bruno
Etheridge

6 of them were signed by other managers, and all of his best signings were free transfers/small compensation.

That team would absolutely murder this season's side, mind. 10 wins out of 10.

Any of our current 11 get in that side? I don't think so

Warnock is like a magician! great at fooling everyone whilst lining his own pockets and of those close to him. Glad he came and got us to the prem, but he's just a modern day crook who knows how to use the system

And he doesn't leave clubs in a healthy position. He's very much about the 'Now' to the point that he damages football clubs.

yep, and we are very much not in a win-now position. We need to be building something over a few years.

Maybe Romeo as Manga isn't really a right back but I'm not convinced, and Warnock would go Manga every time. The rest? No chance.

I don't think we're in that position, either. I can't see us being a Champ club in a few years. If we can't buy anyone next summer, we are stuffed even if we stay up this time. This is the first embargo of 3. This is only the beginning.

Yes of course he would - this is the same Warnock who didn't fancy Djed Spence at right back for Middlesborough, and shipped him out on loan to Forest - where he was immediately player of the season, forest got promoted and Spence got sold for £15 million.

I think Warnock played Lee Peltier instead.

It was Dijksteel. Warnock also started playing Isiaih Jones at LWB, he just didn't fancy Spence. God knows why.

Re: Neil Warnock

Brighton don't splash out on transfers to the extent some other clubs do but - they are £426 million in debt to Tony Bloom, and last season lost close to £60 million. The PL is only surviving because the debt is all with the owners. Club struggling financially - just lend it another £100m

Surprised to hear that, they don’t spend much on transfers and have sold big recently too…..

He’s young, looks a little frail and attacks too much.

They lost that in 2020-21, they sold all their players in 21-22 and 22-23.

Why play Isiaiah Jones then who he turned into a wing back from a winger? Whole thing was odd. In fairness, he didn't sell him, either. Boro did more than alright out of that loan!

Re: Neil Warnock

Even out of position id have Manga over Romeo.

Romeo is one of our decent Championship players though.

Bobby Reid. What a bargain. Warnock got nothing out of him. Now starts for a top 10 EPL club.
