"Tears In His Eyes"

[goats]

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)

It’s a miracle we even got close to staying up when you look back at who he signed…..bobby Reid was the only half decent one and he never played him. throw Madine in, what a waste of £50 million. Tan would have been better off spending nothing.

It would be interesting to see Warnock's record when it comes to signing strikers (Over his career) Probably the most difficult of positions to get right, especially with the way Warnock played the game, but i bet it wasn't great.

VT knows what he's doing.

He's head of the Transfer Committee.

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.

And that's a sad thing...?

Wrong wording, from our perspective, if it had happened to another club before we wouldn't make the same mistake.

No good has come out of this, but I suppose people are aware of the danger of using these tinpot flight operators.
