More I think about it, the more I think that this was a bad sacking. Another scape goat.
Aging squad
Recruitment seemingly taken out of his hands
Transitional year.
Always on a hiding to nothing.
Whoever comes in it's going to be tough
perfect timing lol... a new manager pre transfer window will have wanted and expected money to spend...
Looking at win rates, defeat rates, I thought I'd do a comparison of City managers. There are a few errors on the Wikipedia page, in particular with Russell Slade, who according to that, managed 51 games. He actually managed us for 86 games. He'd have managed a bare minimum of 48 in the full season he had alone......
All stats for managers in charge for at least 50 games.

In recent times, Warnock has a win percentage of 47.1% in the Championship with us and a loss percentage of 28.9%. Even with the poor start we made to last season, that is a very impressive record.
Harris's record last season was 44.4% win and 22.2% defeat. Again, very impressive. This season those figures read 30.7% win and 50% defeat. As with all the managers stats, English cup competitions and playoffs included.
What’s hallelujah Jimmy Scoular’s win percentage?
About time...lots said of harris a pound shop warncock,and he was a 50p pound shop
A 50p pound shop manager who saved us from relegation and took us into the Premier League, all within 19 months and by spending about £10m on players. You have a very short, one sided memory and perhaps you (and others) should show a bit more respect and gratitude to him for what he did. A job, by the way, that he currently appears to be repeating at Middlesborough.
Yea that's what he does.
Very good manager, perfect for us at the time and I think it was a minor miracle he performed getting us up.
Then like 99% of managers around the world it inevitably goes stale, can't take away he is only the 2nd manager in my lifetime to get us to the top division.
Probably a while before it happens again and that's not down to Neil Warnock.
