Fabulous facts and stats anyway before we even start this first season in the Premier in Blue. There’s a lot of teams that would jump at having Warnock as manager and fans irrespective of the abuse he gets from them. As he said in the Q and A if I was to get sacked I’d get a job tomorrow and we need him more than he needs us. It’s true at his age he’s nothing to prove unlike a youngster in management. I’m excited about the feathers we will ruffle this season with Warnock at the helm.

Add to that the fact that he has brought the whole club, fans, players, management, board back together and pulling in one direction.
I'd say even IF (Keep it quiet but I've got a good feeling about this season) we get relegated he will go down as one of, if not the greatest manager for CCFC.

We are relying on 3 teams being worse than us, in theory. Teams who were near the bottom last season, Saints, Huddersfield and West Ham have strengthened their squads. We still need more quality at right back, central midfield and upfront. It’s going to be a rollercoaster of a season, no doubt.

I understand the need to stregthen the squad but I think a close knit team far outweighs 2 or 3 new signings that may even not gel with their team mates. I think he has done the right thing - no stars, just hardworking players. We want guts and effort, not tippy tappy shite.

Firstly Neil Warnock has done a brilliant job since he has been at City. With regards to team spirit I totally agree that’s it’s vital to have a great team spirit however I also think to survive in the Premiership you need a bit of extra quality with players who can change the course of a game.
I believe it’s a fine balancing act in trying to maintain that team spirit whilst also adding quality to the squad. Would still like to see a quality creative midfielder come in & a quality striker. No need to play ‘tippy tappy’ football even if you bring in a couple of quality players. One example of that was Gary Medel.

Warnocks my favourite city manager ever.but none of our managers has even come to achieving what Fred Stewart did.

Fair point, another Medel would be nice!!

We were relegated with Gary Medel,he is now 4 years older and he is NOT the answer, Agree we need another two CM and a striker. Warnock seems to have faith in Peltier,Richards,Manga,Paterson and Connelly to cover RB, hope Richards stays fit because I feel he is our best bet? I thinks he may also be considering playing three at the back in a 3,5,1,1?

We are NOT saying to sign him now, but he was an example of a quality signing last time around!

Yes need 3 teams but it means 2 teams will be thinking whos worse than us besides ccfc? We are not worried about relegation this time around as got ourselves financially sorted but have others done so?
