Where do we go from here?

[insider]

As said before it starts above Mick McCarthy.
The club has been mis managed for years by Tans cronies that have absolutely no football knowledge at all.
It's all well and good saying we have no creativity or pace but the club hasn't just stumbled upon this it's been allowed to happen over several seasons.
Anyone who thought Harris and then mick would be the answer in the long run ie Dalmen Choo and Tan showed that lack of knowledge.
Fans see a win at Forest and can't see the bigger picture.
You need to have a long term plan change the club from top to bottom and as a fan accept short term losses for the bigger picture.

These threads should start by posting link to side Warnock left us (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2019%E...ty_F.C._season) and posters saying what they would have done differently since.

Most will say they'd spend money or magically get the players playing a different style....would you actually have done differently to what the board have done since Warnock left?

Next step is asking where we'll be at the end of the season and whether we think we'll need to change direction at that point. That's the next time we have a clean slate.

In short, what I would have done as a board if they were serious about going in a new direction would be not to have employed Neil Harris followed by Mick McCarthy.

I'm not even sure anybody at the club knows what they want other than to save money. If they are or ever were serious about changing the way we play and being a more footballing, entertaining team then their choice of manager since that statement (Harris and McCarthy) is worrying.

The fans are slowly getting fed up with it and I can honestly see it hitting attendances soon. What then, save more money? Play all of the Under 23s?

What manager are you hiring to change style of play who can't be promised money to spend on squad? What manager is interested in coming to work with players Warnock left?

Simple facts are that Warnock left a squad which wasn't ready to compete for promotion (at least in a non-covid year) and work Harris and Mick have done so far suggests our squad will be far closer to that once they've gone*.

*depending on what is done at end of this season in terms of renewals and replacements. If we play hoofball next year then concerns about what we're teaching the kids are well founded.

Fans might not be inclined to stick around but that's not the best measure of how well things are going - they usually show up in number right at the end of a process when things are obviously better.

Where do we go from here ? In footballing terms nowhere fast. Our squad has degraded to an extent where all the clumsy, slow, footballers available have been found a home in south east Wales. Apart from drop down a division or 2, aka Coventry where completely re-building is possible but at extreme risk of staying there, all City can do is chip away one position at a time being careful not to make the situation on the pitch even worse.
We're precariously perched on a tightrope where too much tinkering in the wrong place or too quickly could see us slide rapidly towards the lower reaches of the Championship. In footballing terms we're just existing..
