Which one would you rather left today?
Warnock, although that has nothing to do with Bobby Reid, i'd have felt the same if he'd have stayed.Quote:

Think people are overreacting a little. Window has been underwhelming but for me Warnock is still in credit and most of what he does is generally not flashy, understated but very efficient.
We still have a very solid championship squad, today we added a very solid championship cm/dm and a forward who hopefully hasn't shown his best form yet.
We have leaders in Morrison, bamba and now pack. Very good options out wide, a solid defence, particularly if bamba can come back strong and good keeper options. Upfront is an unknown but it has been for a while.
I'm sure we will all get behind the team on Saturday. For me he has earned the benefit of any doubt.
Reid
Crazy question. The right question is "Who's done more for our club in the last 2 years?"
Reid was hopeless at Wigan - lightweight, easily dispossessed and missed a great chance - and has been for much of his time at City.
Good luck Bobby, but the time was right for him to go for him and for the club.
Maybe this is right, but like zohore he’s never quite got going....time to split maybe....
Reid has gone because of his, attitude.
I appreciate all Warnock has done for the club, but the football is rarely attractive. I wish we brought someone in alongside him with fresh ideas that could’ve got the best out of players like Reid. It feels like we’re a lot weaker than we were a few weeks ago..
Here’s hoping Glatzel and Vassel turn out to be gems!
Reid. A player who has proved himself in this league previously and I thought showed quality when given a chance in a team that doesn’t play to his quality last season as well.
Reid
Vassell will score more goals than Reid this season.
I didn’t read the initial message.Quote:

Reid. 'Reiding' between the lines, he wasn't happy, didn't put in a shift at Wigan. and probably wouldn't be missed on the pitch nor in the dressing room, which is important for Warnock's sides. No point him staying, but we haven't lost any money as he's gone on loan, and presumably money-bags Fulham are paying his wages. And yes, we could well call him back later if needed..Quote:

I was in the 'Warnock One More Year' camp at the start of the summer and - although I feel very flat after the window closed - I see no reason to change my mind on Warnock - yet.

The fact is though that if the bloke's face didn't fit, wasn't pulling his weight, sulking, wanting away... whatever you want to call it, there was only going to be one end result.
Players come and players go. Some work out, some don't.
Shit happens, that's football.
Who knows, in a year's time he may well be back but as it stands, in a months time Bobby Reid will be a distant memory.
New players in and we'll all, well most of us, will be right behind Warnock and the team.

The day of the transfer window shutting would we rather a single player leave, who in theory has already been replaced, or the manager who has built this squad with the new manager unable to sign anyone until January?
Reid hasn't been replaced. I'd trust my binman to get our team playing more attractive footballQuote:

However, I’ll always back the manager and the players and I hope he proves me wrong.
I wanted Warnock gone at the end of last season mainly because i thought it was a good time for a new manager to come in but now today it would be just plain stupid.
Ah but has your binman won the Yorkshire Electriciy Cup?????Quote:

So what's your prediction then? Come on, nail your thoughts to the mast.Quote:

Reid wanted out, I wanted us to sign Messi, life not like that, he's moved on and Warnock is still the first manager I would want in this position
If it was a case of selling Reid then probably Warnock because it feels like Reid could be a big part of a future Cardiff which could hopefully be a bit more attacking and dynamic, and I was worried that Warnock's getting rid of players like him before the next manager's had a chance to work with them and build something.
As it's a loan then probably Reid because of the upheaval a new manager would bring in now. If we're nowhere at Christmas though I'd say get the next manager in so he's got a window and time to work with players before next season.
I've been watching City since 1961.Quote:

Warnock although I prefer he left at the end of the season.
There is nothing to be gained having him in charge this season.
Signing players on 3/4 year contracts when it’s his last year is selfish as ****.
What happened to the Burnley model? Go up, back down, keep the team together and build on what we have and go back up stronger?
