Using the relegation windfall to sufficiently provide a quality spine and a strong squad to get promoted straight away and then stay in premier for more than one season - Not done- not even near.
As far as I can see, the fans pulled up this season (18,000 season tickets) but the club didn't

Seven or eight months ago Neil Warnock was saying words to the effect that,,,, that if we went down from the Premiership, then we would bounce back, all the stronger, like Burnley did. All the stronger & better for our experiences.
What's come to pass since is highly disappointing to say the least. A poor summer transfer window followed by a poor start to the season, with arguably our shockingly worst result v Reading since NW arrived.
Yes,,, expectations were, and are still high, fuelled on, not least of all, by the rhetoric emanating from the CCS pre season.
Neil Warnock wanted to stay as manager, but did he say, at that time, that it would only be for one season?
I said in a previous post that; "The moment you stop getting better, then you start getting worse"!

Spot on. Trouble is, on this forum these days, such comments are regard by some as showing disloyalty and negativity rather than merely articulating the obvious.eddiep wrote:For me its the feeling of having my pants pulled down again.

I don’t think a lot has changed to be honest except the expectations as Rick+CCFC pointed out quite clearly.
I hear you don’t go and watch City live (not having a go) but I’ve seen and heard very little negativity down at the stadium.
If you base your assumptions from this forum then there’s always the miserable, negative posters on here as soon as we lose or have a blip.
We all know who they are!
As you correctly say, we are only a few games in. Plenty of time to push on and get closer to and into the play off positions.

I went to the Luton league game and it seemed like the fans were quite quick to get on the backs of the players which never helps.

There’s always a few idiots dotted around the stadium who jump on a player if he’s having a bad time or making a mistake or two instead of getting behind him. Being down there I haven’t noticed any fall out or criticism of Warnock etc.
I have a feeling if we don’t improve this will change though.

He has said he is off next season for sure, so Tan correctly didn't give him heaps of money to play with as the players he brought in may not be wanted next year when the new guy comes in. None of the players are playing for their future either as they know whatever happens, it's a fresh slate next season. Seems a wasted year to me.
But no doubt this opinion is completely shocking and only exists to wind you up... right?

Or maybe it is because he is one of the most successful managers at getting teams promoted. Or maybe its because he got an average Cardiff side promoted on a low budget last time. Tan didn't give Warnock a lot of money to spend in the premier league so he was never going to get it this year. But don't let those simple facts cloud your impartial judgement on the club though.

Yes, because he clearly needs the money and the stress after what he's been through over the last 9 months
Makes no sense for the good of the Club you say, well I beg to differ, the man who has the most Promotions in English Football and who's record in this division is nothing short of outstanding decided to give it one last shot, with us. I take that as a sign that he feel's something for the Club, actually, I know he does and the man definitely has the 'good of the Club' in his heart so again will take you're comments with a large pinch of salt.
And lastly, none of the players playing for their future , you don't half talk some shit, against Fulham we had a Goalkeeper that is fighting to show that he is good enough to keep the number 1 shirt. Peltier, Morrison and Bennett who are out and out professionals that will want to get back into the top division sooner rather than later for the good of their FUTURE, alongside Flint who after a tough time on Teeside wants to make his future better.
Tomlin is 100% playing for his future, if he messes this up his career is over. Whyte, Vaulkes and Patterson are desperate to play and prove a point with the Euros at the end of the season and the chance of Wales, NI and Scotland getting there.
Vassell is desperate to prove his doubters wrong and this is Glatzel's big change in English Football and he will be desperate to show he's up to it and with the chance of Warnock's successor coming from 'within' I'm fairly sure the players are playing for their future.
Its definitely silly season on here isn't it, we are 6 games in ffs lets review this at the end of May.
Not about needing the money so much as opposed to not wanting to turn down the promotion bonus carrot, Retirement is a great unknown too, lots of people put it off as they won't then know what to do with themselves.
Yes I do say at the expense of the club, yes his record is good but as I said above, there is no succession plan in place and time has moved on from when he garnered most of that reputation. The Championship is now heavily technical and hoofball just cannot compete as you are finding out against the technical sides.
Of course the players aren't going to be playing for their future. If they fall out of favour with Warnock then they just wait until the end of the season. Thats not to say everyone is going to play badly however. But if you think there is the same career repercussions playing badly in a side with a long term manager and one with a manager openly only there for the next 7 months or so then you are quite clearly barking up the wrong tree.

Sol Bamba could be involved in all signings and being lined up for the role or there could be someone in the shaddows that is being lined up to come in next August that is involved, it could be Blackwell, Jepson, Rowbery or even Bellamy who may have been told to 'disappear' for a bit, get some more experience and come back next summer. The point is I don't know and NEITHER DO YOU so please stop stating things you know NOTHING about like they are fact.
As for us struggling against technical sides, is this another joke? We have only played 6 games ffs and we drew with Fulham who are arguably the most technical side in the division, beat Huddersfield who are not exactly re-nowned for playing 'Hoofball' as you like to call it.
Who are these 'technical sides' that we are finding out we just can't compete with then , don't bother because aside from one bad day at the office against Reading (it happens to all sided) we are doing just fine
I would worry about your own tin pot side and pray to god you keep up you're early form or you are going to look very very silly.
