DML hated Murphy? Surely not. The great Neil Warnock had to fly to Malaysia to talk Vincent Tan into buying him.
Interesting clip here:

Josh Murphy (£11 million) and Greg Cunningham (£4 million) were Warnock's main targets after promotion to the Premier League. Great work.
"Neil Warnock did a good job taking us up, but then he created a bad side and bought the wrong players. Murphy cost £11 million, hardly scored any goals, then left on a free transfer. He was never worth that money. I was conned. Stupid buys. The manager recommended them, pushed very hard, but we won't be making those mistakes again. What happened is still fresh in my mind. We will have more careful checks in the future." (Vincent Tan, November 2022)
What isn’t true?
Warnock was involved with McKay....tick
Warnock was involved in the Sala transfer....tick
Warnock went above Dalman & Choo......tick
Warnock ate into the club’s money with long term deals through an agency his son is
involved with.......tick
McKay’s sons were employed by the club for no apparent reason......tick
McKay’s agents licence was revoked.....tick
The players were left with us on ridiculously long contracts after his departure....tick
Can you dispute any of the above?
People like you and your acceptance of shite is what’s killing the club that we love.
Puncheon came off worse from his allegations mind, but these claims do seem pretty widespread.

Shows how over a season or so he can get players to play, if it hadn't been for Henderson and Ibbotson, I am 99% certain we would have got an extra 2 plus points with the second-best goal-scoring Striker in France for that half-season.
Someone mention Harris getting Warnock failed signings to the playoffs, it just shows they weren't that bad, it's just that they had bad attitudes and a lack of desire to consistently perform like most pro footballers eventually they get the Managers sacked.
I'm astounded that the club allowed a 15 million pound asset to fly in that Tin Can, no Diligence on the clubs behalf. I'm not blaming the club for the accident, but surely someone should or would have liked to have known sala's travel arrangements after his supposed refusal to take a domestic flight. People but expensive cars from abroad and they know the travel arrangements, shipping, carrier etc, i bought a crappy watch for £6 from china which worked for a month and i had the option of tracking my parcel! Sala could have been arriving in a Hot air baloon and i don't think that anyone at theclub would have raised an eyebrow. We're talking about a 15 million pound asset, sorry to sound so clinical, but that is what he was to the club.
Agree that it's a tin pot operation, yes they can't hold the player's hand and watch him every hour of the day, but to have rules about only using recognised flights for travel and leisure should be a basic rule, as with dangerous sports.
The sad thing is with hindsight, every club in the Country will have now tightened everything up and something like this will probably never happen again.
He might have more tears in his eyes in a month or two just had a look at their fixtures
Burnley away
Coventry home
Bristol City Home
WBA away
Norwich Home
Millway away
Boro home
Watford away
Blackburn home
Not many easy games in that run of games
Warnock is a very good motivational manager but limited. We were never going to do it, but I would have got a new man in after promotion. Easy with the benefit of hindsight I know.
