Somewhere in your post I was reminded of Fulham away last season and how disappointed I was leaving the ground. Negative tactics did little to help our cause in a crucial and winnable fixture.
He has without doubt spent more money in real and relative terms than any Cardiff manager ever. Cardiff is a draw for players and should be an easy sell when trying to attract but his methods and style of play simply don't fit with where game and other clubs now are.
Neither us there any sense in running an academy when the first teams style of play us like ours. Do the academy teams play Warnock ball? Of course they don't. So any talent we may have won't suit our first team anyway.
I respect Sir Neil and seeing my club in PL in blue is down to him. Parties need to accept he is not the Holy Grail and realise that his playing style has very very clear limitations.

What happened in Janurary in my opinion wasn't the reason we got relegated. Infact, I actually think we performed much better due to the players playing for Sala and more importantly Warnock.
A massively huge season for Cardiff, a season that could define our future as a club, it didn't go to plan. But still, the fans got behind Warnock.
My point for this whole post is that us fans have already spent a whole YEAR getting behind Warnock despite things not going our way. Like alot of people including myself keep saying, the only thing we "owe" Warnock is our respect for all the good he's done at Cardiff, nobody desputes that. If Warnock leaves tomorrow nobody is going to say "He was an awful manager", far from it. Infact he's up there as the best Manager we've ever had. HOWEVER, we do not "owe" warnock respect for what he's currently doing at the club, we've shown him respect, he knows based off last season how much we appreciate him. But after 3 games, there are so little signs to be optimistic about this season, if I'm honest. Having said that, if we win tomorrow it will definitely reel alot of us in a little bit. I hope to post something positive tomorrow, ofcourse. Maybe a small percentage but generally nearly everyone here doesn't WANT Warnock to fail, we just use this as a forum to express our dissapointment and frustrations, ESPECIALLY with certain promises from Warnock such as "Use Burnley as an example" when we don't look like we're going straight back up, it just destroys the whole point of getting promoted & 'building' a strong championship team in the first place, because based off the start we've had we are far from a strong championship team.
Positive people carry on, negative people carry on. I'm rarely positive for the sake of it, and I'm never negative for the sake of it. Recently though I'm seeing alot of people being positive just for the sake of it. Final time to repeat myself but Warnock had last season as a "show your support to him", surely we can't do it for 2 seasons in a row, he needs a win tomorrow or it's surely over. We are in a terrible terrible position if this time tomorrow we're 7 points from top 2 already after just 4 games...

Crayfish wrote:Why is Warnock a better manager than Malky? In his first season with us having a tiny squad he took us to the playoffs and the league cup final picking up great players like Kenny Miller and Gunnarsson for nothing along the way. In his second season he got us promoted to the premier league as champions. We will never know if he would have kept us up,probably not. Why is Neil Warnock our best manger ever when Malky did at least as well as him in my view.

MM spent big on Caulker and Medal, fees we recovered when we were relegated
Then there is Cornelius.
What were his other big fee signings?
Arguably the most significant signing was Fazier Campbell in January. His goals and impetus second half of season was a difference after the previous January's when the Riddler promised but didn't deliver.
Who else did MM spend significant money on?
Without repeating points made all over here, its the spend on players for the future or for if we were relegated that Warnock goes off and doesn't play. We all know their names so I won't repeat!
Its well in the past, but who knows where club would be if it wasn't for textgate and Warnock not, at this stage anyway, not worth more praise than MM. Though I concede club in a better place when MM walked through the door than when Sir Neil did.

And you know all this to be true or is it just you speculating?Calling someone a liar just because you don't agree with what he says is really bad form especially hiding behind social media anonymity.
