How Warnock did it, who he signed, for how long and for how much, I dont think Tan gave 2 hoots about, as long as Warnock delivered promotion - his side of the deal of achieved. After that -it was (in retrospect) bad club management. But we are all a genius with the benefit of hindsight.
I spent a couple of hours on the train back from Blackpool with a blackpool season ticket holder - She burst out laughing when the subject of Gary Madine came up and his 3 year deal from Warnock.
