Re: Neil Warnock

Id rather stay up with long ball than go down without it

Stoke City 2008 to 2016 premier league

I bet if we got there with a robust approach , beating united and the like you would stay at home , depressed

the game has moved on, better teams know how to combat the long ball, not to mention its dull as hell and not many customers like it

Re: Neil Warnock

Surely not; you and everyone else are clearly deluded.

Just been to have a look at some stats. Four games at random - Villa and Wolves at the start and the end of the season.

Chipped (high) passes: 12.2% and 13% at the start of the season, 19.2% and 20.2% at the end of the season. This is mirrored by having nearly 23% of all passes at the end of the season made by the head, up from 12% from both games earlier in the season.

In both earlier games we were around 73% for balls played forward. In the fixtures at the end we were between 77%-79%. On both occasions our pass success rate was better in the earlier fixtures than the later ones.

But, according to Sludge and his perfect recall, we played exactly the same way.....

I wonder how many Middlesbrough fans would trade Michael Carrick for Neil Warnock?

Re: Neil Warnock

Weve missed out again. Darren Ferguson is back in work.......... at Peterborough. FFS. Thats his 4th time there.

Re: Neil Warnock

Anyone who thinks Warnock returning to Cardiff City is a realistic possibility should consider what Vincent Tan told the press back in November: "Neil Warnock did a good job taking us up, but then he creates a bad side and buys the wrong players. Murphy cost £11m, hardly scored any goals, then left on a free transfer. He was never worth that money. I was conned."

He may not be anywhere near being back in the ccfc hotseat but we need a manager like warnock who can assess what we have and get the team organised

It might not work but what we have in place certainly isn't cutting the mustard

Re: Neil Warnock

The superstars Neil Warnock brought into the City squad during the summer of 2019 in his bid to take the club back to the Premier League:

Joe Day (free)
Aden Flint (£4 million)
Robert Glatzel (£5.5 million)
Curtis Nelson (free)
Marlon Pack (undisclosed)
Will Vaulks (£2.1 million)
Gavin Whyte (undisclosed fee reported to be seven figures)

Brilliant work. The man's a genius.

Flint and Pack were good value

The frees were free

Flint was worth £4m? How much did we get for him when we sold him?

Good defender for us

The knives come out for warnock but loads of wages were spent by dave Jones

Which got us absolutely nowhere

I saw Robbie Fowler scoffing a kebab after a skinful when he was supposed to be getting fit to play

Why warnock gets the finger all the time is odd

[goats]

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.

No we didn’t, v Leeds playing it about:

Re: Neil Warnock

exactly this, lots of praise for what Brentford have achieved in another thread by some of the same people wanting Warnock back.
Brentford wouldn't have considered for a moment turning to a manager like Warnock, they are where they are not because they stumbled across a good manager now, but they've built upto it for years.
building something doesn't mean tearing it all down when it starts to go wrong and going back to what we've done before when we know it isn't a good solution

Brentford.... interesting.

Who will be the first to link Dean Smith to Mark Hudson's job?
