He got his plaudits, he got paid his millions.
We are favourites to go down. If that happens so be it but he is not immune from criticism and let's face it he's been making some baffling decisions.
By your reasoning, a guy should be happy to continue to pay for a shit meal and service because 6 months ago he had a excellent service.
Warnock won't be here if we weren't paying millions for him. He don't give two cents about Cardiff . If we waves his salary away I'll stand corrected.
Untill then fans who paying hard earned money have a right to question him.

That's quite right. I feel numbed by recent events - not the fact that the team has had a bad patch, a bit of bad luck and some dissapointing results. All that can be fixed and the situation turned around. No, it's the spineless and disloyal comments and attitudes of so many so called 'supporters' of the club now.
These are shallow people who obviously don't know anything about the struggles and setbacks of eventually succeeding at anything. Maybe it's this bloody computer game I see spoken of everywhere ,where I gather it's all about buying players for your fantasy football team and winning the World Cup the following day, or maybe that they know no fear or consequence in their largely imaginary world.
For years, some have commented upon the gradual "infantasisation" of our people by an increasingly intrusive nanny state, and perhaps this explains why so many of them are so shocked and despondent at the first sign of difficulty. Their answer to it is to immediately give up and start looking for someone to punish.
They don't care how well the players and managers have done so far or how hard they're fighting to put it right. They have no regard whatever for the fact that they are the blokes actually in there doing their best to turn the tide . No, they just think all these men have a duty to fulfill their own little fantasy version of hard won success and earn their sense of achievement for them.
I'm not ashamed of our players, who are all dedicated professional sportsmen working hard and thus making the most of their abilities. Nor am I ashamed of our Manager, who has facilitated all this and made the very best of what he has to work with. No, I'm ashamed ,many very deeply ashamed I must say, of the whining little tossers who've forgotten all they've done and continue to do and are now very happy to throw them to the wolves without a second though.
I think the first game I watched was, ( coincidentally), against Spurs in 1961 or something and watched them home and away for years after that . Later, I've followed their results from some very strange and unlikely locations from Africa to the Polar Circle, Australia and the USA. I've even sat in a hut in Papua New Guinea trying to get the radio guy to find out Cardiff's result. In all that time I've held an affinity to the club and its supporters , ( who I've also met in strange and unexpected places).
In all that time though, I've never ever before felt so ashamed and disgusted by other supporters of the club as I do sitting here reading some of the stuff you've rightly complained about. If that's what they've become, I honestly don't know whether I've got anything in common with them any more.

But where did I complain about the amount of money Tan has invested? I can understand Tans logic of not wanting to get burned again.
The point I was making is blind loyalty to someone, who is only here for their million pound pay packet, is just as extreme.
Warnock has made serious errors and its costing us. I thank him for the job he did last year of which he was was well paid.
I think he is the greatest man manager, and his achievements put him in the top managers in recent times.I want him to have a go at the Premier league which he deserved. If we go down we go down.
But as long as I'm paying for my season ticket,im entitled to questions his poor decisions. Where we are is not down to quality. against Huddersfield Newcastle and Burnley it was down to Warnock.
