This.
People seem to buy into the lowly Cardiff, underdog, great bunch of lads battling on tripe that Warnock trots out time and again.
He could have had half an excuse when he came through the door. Having been given 5 transfer windows, enough money to improve us considerably and wasted the majority of it he certainly hasn't now.

I think you have read what I put in my last post. I haven't seen anywhere near enough of them to really judge them. Club scouts clearly have seen more, I personally haven't.
Only Whyte has had decent time in the league, he has done nothing to either impress me in that time or make me think he has no chance at this level. Probably because he has appeared in 4 matches.
I don't know where I've said they would be vital parts of a promotion pushing squad.

These are all fair points. "On the cheap" was meant to mean in comparison to others when we were in the Premier League and when relegated the replacements we bought were relatively cheap alternatives to the very good Gunnarson and Manga. Of course the money wasted on players such as Madine, Bobby Reid and Murphy has been little more than scandalous and the recruitment of the Oxford players has been bizarre. So much money has been chucked away, as I acknowledged, and especially so when those on the pitch last night probably cost a lot more than their Luton counterparts.
However, we are where we are and to get rid of Warnock now with the squad we have would probably be a huge mistake as the new incumbent would have to work with the players we have running the risk of possibly taking us back to the days of Russel Slade and Trolope. But I don't think you needed to attend last night's match to be able to express an opinion as was indicated in a later post.

For the record I didn't go. I didn't think it was worth travelling for 300 miles and a possible overnight stay to watch a match against a side we have already played. Indeed there are many long distance travellers like me who didn't attend but are not entitled to an opinion according to the inference in the question.
No, I'm saying that if you didn't go, the devotion to the Warnock cause becomes a bit more understandable - last night was terrible and, given that we were up against a much weaker Luton side on paper than they one we beat recently, I would rank it as embarrassing as the 3-0 home loss to Bournemouth in 2014.
I'm certain that people would not have been as ready to write it off as a meaningless defeat in a nothing competition if they had been there to see how abject we were.

We're an utter shambles off the pitch, as shown by our transfer activity for about the 5th window on the spin. Marlon Pack was signed after the deadline and then he's probably our most important player. It's embarrassing.
To add to that, if this is Warnock's last year, there is no point in keeping him if we're midtable in November. We might as well get the pieces in to get a Director of Football/Head of Recruitment and a new manager to implement a new style of play. I'm not asking for much, I'm just asking we become semi competent. At the moment, this is Warnock's club and there's going to be a massive culture shock when he leaves. If we can address those changes in the middle of a "nothing" season, then the ootential damage will be hopefully limited.

I think it's fair for people to form an opinion over his three years at the club.
hy should it be likely to go like that though? People talk as if it is only us that plays weakened sides in these games, but most of the sides who have embarrassed us in recent years have also done so. There were very few players in the Luton side that looked as uncomfortable in possession as the likes of Flint, Nelson, Vaulks, Paterson, Whyte, Bogle and Vassell did for us - these are all players with more experience than or who have played more first team football this season than many in the Luton team.

Re: Give Warnock until the Hull game.
Here's the bottom line.
Either Sir Neil will get his ducks in a row very quickly, perhaps in time for Fulham, in which case we'll rise up the league and the half wits will stop their jibbering, or he won't , in which case he'll leave and we'll go back into obscurity for the foreseeable future.
He and Vincent Tan will have to be strong men indeed to bear the dead weight of these negative whiners through a bad patch, or they might just decide to walk away from it and leave us on the road to Bolton.

One of the players from Oxford was free - and the other we signed for 2-2.5m and Oxford fans were absolutely livid and thought we'd robbed them at that price. And arguably I don't think we'd played either of them in their preferred position yet.

Last season was poor and we got relegated and this season hasn't started well.

I am also fed up of this plucky underdog routine he goes on about. That attitude cost us and he's at it again already saying we should to hang on to the coat tails of Leeds etc, he'll be lucky if we do.
Also when we got promoted, his speeches along the lines of 'when I got here look where the club was' 'I did this'. Well Neil you also took us down and have us playing shit football with a tactic last night of get it back to Flint and hoof it up the front. Time tot go. I don';t see why all the love ins with him, other managers have got us promoted, Mackay, Lawrence, Cork (I think), May, Burrows, Ashurst, Andrews etc but nobody recognises them as much. Dave Jones had us playing the best football I've seen at Cardiff since about 1970 and everybody moans about him because 1) we didn't get up 2) He was miserable.
Most people I know who moaned about Dave Jones was because he was a tactically clueless 442 merchant.

No,but I was at the home/away legs of the playoffs against West Ham where we were absolutely physically bolloxed before a ball was kicked.The same year a we made the league cup final unless I'm mistaken.If we had a choice I don't think many clubs wood volunteer for participation as it tends to come back and bite you later on.

I can't see us appointing a Director of Football while Tan owns the club. He got burned by Moody and Mackay and set up the transfer committee in response. We've had it for over five years now and I can't remember any indication that he's unhappy with how it works.

Re: Give Warnock until the Hull game.
Wow. Talk about some serious overreactions. The season has just started. Won 2, Lost 2, Drew 1. It's not amazing form, but it's by no means a disastrous start. Yes we were humbled by Luton in the cup. But Warnock was always going to be half arsed about the cup. He'll do the same with the FA cup no doubt. Perhaps that's not a great attitude but promotion is all he really wants. If we secure promotion nobody will care how early we were knocked out the cups.
Time will tell on promotion but you can't judge properly 5 games in.
I think we might struggle against Fulham Friday. They look very good this year. If we lose no doubt we'll get more calls for warnocks head. The OP suggested giving Warnock until the Hull game but for me even that's too soon to really know.

It's not waffle , it's reality. You asked whether people watched an unimportant game and suggested that it means we should sack the manager. It doesn't , and you can't take anything from it because you have to use your resources where they count, and that's in the league .
Your implication that we go to pieces in a time of crisis because the reserves didn't do well is ridiculous. How you'll yowl if we can't beat Fulham I dread to imagine, but you don't give up on a project like this when it doesn't go your way for a few games.

The league season ends in May 2020, not August 28th 2019. If we're still in this position come January I would personally be satisfied knowing we have a manager and a group of players who know what it takes in the second half of the season.

And yet more waffle full of stuff about what I was implying when I simply asked who had gone to the game - also, I know "project" is a bit of a buzzword these days, but do you really think our 71 in December manager, who often talks about how you can only be about the here and now when your the age he is, is really thinking in terms of "projects"?

Good to see a few more level headed posters still about. Was beginning to worry.
The panic has already set in, negativity is everywhere. I'm sorry but the state this board would be in at the beginning of a rebuild by the next manager won't be pretty. I fail to see how most will have the patience as it won't be happening overnight.
Reminds me of the Trollope situation, guy tried to bring in a new philosophy, signed some Welsh players, tried a similar 3 at the back system to the success Wales were having. Sounds almost perfect for our fans.
Fans quickly decided he wasnt up to it and off he went. Neil comes in to save us.
We all want nice football but you also need success, I'm guessing we will go through a few managers before getting lucky.

What's been achieved? You mean promotion to the EPL 16 months ago? I think we can all agree, we hardly built on that. I don't think that's Warnock's style. He seems very short-termist.

I'm not saying that it's untrue, but it's not the first time he's said that you know , and he's got a long history of using press statements as tactical disinformation, ( will Pack unexpectedly return from injury for the Fulham game ?)
The project is long standing and largely successful ,and if allowed to proceed will see us established as a mid table premiership team in three or four years, very much in the Burnley model .
At some point that will involve a change of manager, and that might be at the end of this season as they've said, but the new gaffer will have to be in tune with what we're trying to do, not just trying to do the same as everyone else.
Personally, I'd like to see the present assistant manager as the new gaffer with maybe Sol Bamber as his assistant with a view to taking over in due course.
So, yeah, it's a project alright , and it's so clever that it's almost cheating. We're fighting our battles in a way that we've got a much better chance of winning than we deserve on resources and takent -It can and will succeed if it's allowed to.
Not living in Wales, I hear a lot of people who don't support the club praising the results which Sir Neil has achieved already and talking about the clever tactics of Cardiff City. Many are grudgingly admitting that they'll get there in the end too.

Well we shall have to agree to disagree on that. I'm afraid there's no instant or easy route to becoming established in the toughest league in the world ,and I suggest that you observe the results of Burnley who got relegated first time.

Not living in Wales, I hear a lot of people who don't support the club praising the results which Sir Neil has achieved already and talking about the clever tactics of Cardiff City. Many are grudgingly admitting that they'll get there in the end too.
Sol Bamber :hehe:
You're trying so hard to sound intellectual, while also trying really hard to dumb it down. Also, what you've written is absolute drivel.
Sol Bamber. Jesus Christ.

WTF have Burnley got to do with us? This whole "Burnley Model" thing is ****ing nonsense. They got promoted, they got relegated, they got promoted again. It happens.

But Warnock isn't going to be around to continue this project. What, then, are the advantages of him having another season if we're in the middle of establishing ourselves?

My only other reaction to losing millions would be anger, and he doesn’t seem angry, so I’ll stick with my original guess that he’s got a little soft spot for us..

Re: Give Warnock until the Hull game.
NW is a lame duck manager. Rather than wait till the end of the season Tan should be as ruthless as he was with Mackay and sack NW now and appoint a new manager before it becomes too late. NW has spent millions on ordinary players that he never plays and it seems pretty obvious that he has lost his edge. If NW was working in any other industry and had announced his intention to retire in 6 months he would have been moved sideways or given his cards. We are now left with a lame duck manager who appears to be kicking for touch. Tan should grasp the nettle, rise above the sycophancy that surrounds NW, and appoint a young dynamic manager now. The name Mike Flynn should be called to mind.

Perhaps that's not a great attitude but promotion is all he really wants. If we secure promotion nobody will care how early we were knocked out the cups.
Time will tell on promotion but you can't judge properly 5 games in.
I think we might struggle against Fulham Friday. They look very good this year. If we lose no doubt we'll get more calls for warnocks head. The OP suggested giving Warnock until the Hull game but for me even that's too soon to really know.
I’ve always agreed it’s silly to judge after so few games, I gave Ole, the welsh fella I can remember a chance for long into the season and even backed slade at times.
It’s not judging after a few games here, neither is it all to do with results, it’s the way we are playing and the lack of any sort of change to the way we play, there is no plan b after we can’t bully teams and the season looks to be going nowhere.
I’m happy we gave a few players a go last night and I’m not bothered that we went out of the cup.
I will be as happy as anyone if we turn it around, but right now I really don’t see how that’s going to happen as our style doesn’t seem to be hurting teams and we seem on a post premier league slump. With no idea how to dig ourselves out.
