Re: Neil Warnock

Meanwhile…..Carlos Corberan has lost two but won 8 since taking over at West Brom.

Wasn’t he available when the club fired Morison?

yes...and would have been a great acquisition....

Re: Neil Warnock

But would VT be willing to lose "face" back in Malaysia by re-associating with NW if his business colleagues and backers were made fully aware of NW`s record?

Until May I’m sure they would

Re: Neil Warnock

I have never used the word 'Pretty' when it comes to football, it's you who uses the cliches, because i don't think that you have the first clue about the game, i'm no expert, far from it, i get plenty wrong, but i do try to be constructive, whether that's wrong or right. Once again, your negativity distorts your reasoning.

You don't want a change of style and philosophy, not because you believe in a system of play, but because you're destructive, you see people yearning for enjoyment and entertainment, as well as hard work and responsibility, and you hate it, because it would make people happy?

You don't even have an opinion, you just react. Sad to see really.

You are right , your input on this matter is wrong wether you thinkmits constructive or not

You don't like route one football because it works

Didn't work very well last time we tried it

In fact we were at our best under Warnock when we didn't play route one football

I beg to differ

The football under warnock in his first season and the championship season was about as direct as it gets

It's exactly what is required now wether warnock or someone else does it

Percentages , free kicks , throw ins

Shots on targets

We tried to play football and that's why we went down

We could have been another Stoke

Nope, our best football was the stuff we played early in the promotion season which included plenty of play on the floor. Direct? Sure, but it certainly wasn't route one

Also, the last time we played long ball football we lost 8 in a row

Those who actually attended games in the promotion season under Warnock will know we played some cracking passing football - Warnock reverting to type when he saw how high up the table we were and that promotion was a distinct possiblilty.

People also remember playing Man Utd off that park at Old Trafford without resorting to "percentages, free kicks, throw ins".

Re: Neil Warnock

If you ACTUALLY believe that any of that is going to happen, then you must have been supporting a different club to me over the last 20 years.

But back in the real world, we will either stick with Hudson and risk going down (I don't think that Tan will risk this) or go for a short term, safe pair of hands like Warnock, with some bonus for keeping us up, as we are absolutely desperate.

Anyone who seriously thinks that there is a long term strategy and talking about Director's of Football and CEO, is just plain delusional.

If you read my post, I didn't say this is what is going to happen, but it's what a sensible person buying a business they know **** all about would do.

Having watched the City since 1971, I must be delusional thinking they could really achieve their potential, once a billionaire became involved.

Were not in the shit because of Hudson, were in the shit because of the inept leadership or lack of leadership from the board, since we got promoted under Warnock.

Although, Hudson inevitably will be sacked sooner rather than later and the whole cycle will continue again.

If we want to talk about percentages, the amount of chances created by free kicks, corners and throw ins is around 11% of all chances created. 23% of Championship goals come from set pieces, so it's hardly high percentage football unless you've got great delivery and lots of tall players, which we haven't got.

Perhaps some of us are getting a bit confused by what you mean by long ball. Are you advocating just whacking it aimlessly upfield in the hope of winning a flick-on or getting the second ball? As percentages go, it's pretty low percentage football. With the players we have it would be almost 0% successful.

There's a difference between long ball and direct. It's very possible to be a direct side who gets the ball forward early

I reckon the vast majority of City fans would say the best football we played that season was at the start, when we were hardly a side that whacked it upfield with little aim. I've read so many times on here that the football we were playing at the end of the season was atritional at times and I agree.

Re: Neil Warnock

Yes it was. Look back at the highlights of the Villa game. We played some lovely stuff. We weren't long ball at Wolves, either.
