Neil Warnock's fanny pack

[dembethewarrior]

What club would ‘ruthlessly dump’ a manager who had just got them into the Premier League automatically against all the odds and predictions and by spending very little money. Also, you do realise that we only went down by two points and we were actually above two other teams, one of which was the much revered (on this board anyway) paragon of attractive football virtuosity, Fulham, whose goal scoring and goal conceding record was much inferior to ours. No doubt you thought that their managers at the time (Jokanivic, Ranieri and Parker) were all tactically brilliant, forward thinking and should have been practicing their art here, instead of being totally out of their depth at Fulham and dragging the team down with their stupid team selections and tactics. PS. We actually nearly and could have gone back up in 2019/2020 but perhaps you missed that as well.

Try hard.

Good post.

It was clear that Tan wanted PL status on the cheap.
NW by some miracle got us promoted with relatively no outlay and VT thought we could sneak survival with what we had.

It very nearly worked.

Do people really believe that Warnock should have been dumped upon gaining promotion and that whoever replaced him would do a better job, with Warnock's team and pretty much no budget?

It is true that some players were given contracts possibly better than they warranted but hindsight, as they say, is a wonderful thing.

It was a shame the way his time here ended, especially with the Emiliano Sala tragedy having a profound effect on him personally.

His time was up but overall, I believe Warnock's tenure at Cardiff City should be looked upon as a success.

OK then. We'll just pretend the relegation never happened. I see where this going.

Guys, I'm done with this one. It's a waste of valuable time and energy.

You wrote all that just for me?! I guess we've all got to try and get our thrills wherever we can and if posting another homo-erotic, Warnock-worshipping, wall-of-text w*nk-fest is your way of getting off then knock yourself out.

Oh, and here's a pro-tip. This is how you use paragraphs.

Bad post.

Bad post.

You're right. I will apologise.
