Neil Warnock

Re: Neil Warnock

Neil Warnock bought the following players:
Madine - 6m - contract paid up
Bacuna - 3.5m - released
Danny Ward - 1.7m - released
Tomlin - 1.5m - released
Omar Bogle - 700k - released
Murphy - 10m - released
Reid - 10m - sold for 10m, well done Neil
Vaulks - 2m - released
Pack - 2m - released
Flint - 5m - released
Whyte - 2m - still here, 1 goal.
Glatzel 5.5m - sold for 500k
Isaac Vassell - 3m - released

This mess is entirely because of Warnock's ineptitude in the transfer market. His hits were Etheridge, NML, Hoilett, Smithies and Bamba. We made 500k from the sale of those 5. I'm a Warnock fan but that's 50m pissed up the wall there.

Wow lock the cheque book up if he does come!

Some awful signings, some which we at least used before releasing. Not good reading though. Some make the Sala fee and situation look silly.

Then the whole agent issues etc.

Some balance though, promotion was worth £170m to the club (no way we do that without him) and there's a transfer committee, as with Mackay and Cornelius it's not just him signing off on these alone.

At least if he did come back there's no budget.

Why would he anyway though? I get the feeling we have approached him a couple of times since he left and we are now a far worse sell.

Correct - we are desperate!

Don't you realise that?

Guess we couldn’t afford to blow that much as it was a crucial time when we really needed to just stay up, to think we almost did it is remarkable really….I just think he’s one of those managers that can put a decent championship or league 1 side together for peanuts but struggles any higher. Was listening to TS the other day talking about Brighton, can’t recall the exact details but the team that beat Everton cost less than one Everton player and less than Warnock spent with us….

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.

Having taken us up previously on an absolute shoestring - a very balanced argument. :facepalm::wave:

Promotion was worth £170m which we completely failed to make any use of whatsoever.
We may as well not have bothered for all the long term good it has done. That was our opportunity to get ourselved firmly embedded as a top championship club at least and we ****ed it.

100% not true that he's being lined up according to Hudson today.

Absolute shoestring? you must be joking.

We were still in receipt of parachute payments that season so for starters we had 3 times the football budget than most clubs in the division.
then that season alone we spent £6.5m on Gary Madine, £3m on Lee Tomlin, £1.5m on Danny Ward and over 500k on Omar Bogle

Thats almost £12 million on strikers most of whom were crap for us.

Imagine spending £12 million on 4 players now?

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

What is Tan going to say, though :hehe:

Oh yeh, Mark, it's definitely true but just manage the next few will you while we try to convince Neil :hehe:

He spent loads, and our wage bill was the 3rd highest in the league I think. Look, he got us up, that doesn't matter. What does matter is what a mess he made of the PL team and then the Championship side after that. We spent about 50m on crap.

£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
