And I'm on about the current 71 year old, you don't get a Warnock of 5-10 years ago There are Premier League squads and then again there are Premier League squads. He managed to get Cardiff promotion in a very short time, spending relatively little money. That they didn’t stay in the Premier League wasn’t surprising considering their overall expenditure. It’s all about belief, but I believe he would have achieved more at City than LJ given the same amount of time and money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PFree Posted June 23, 2020 Report Share Posted June 23, 2020 So let's think about this - Warnock has achieved 8 promotions as a Manager to LJ's none - just wish we had made this decision, you'd never leave a game not having witnessed his team providing maximum effort and passion, imagine how refreshing that would be!

One of the questions from a stuffy board member was "Mr Warnock, would our fans like your style of football?" "They'd like to see the team winning for a change" he replied. He didn't get the job So Lansdown has interviewed him for the job then! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ontariored Posted June 23, 2020 Report Share Posted June 23, 2020 Well, let's just say I see City of gaining promotion with Warnock leading our current team. I assume the relationship between LJ and our Board is constipating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whilst we’ve pussyfooted and fancy Danned around the lower leagues for most of our existence, other more pragmatic clubs have sailed by us and made history for themselves. Anyone listening to Bradley Orrs interview where he describes what Warnock allowed Tarrabt to get away with, in the name of winning would think twice before having him here.

Northern Red Posted June 23, 2020 Report Share Posted June 23, 2020 I'm sure it's not the case, but you'd be forgiven for thinking that some would be happy for Boro to beat us in a few weeks because it'll "prove them right".

His interview with Talk Sport seemed to suggest that he has signed for this season only. Of course if he keeps them up he may extend that.

I suspect if we do win against them, some of those same fans won’t credit Lee or the team, but blame it on the fact NW hasn’t had enough time to get ‘Boro playing as he would wish.

Oh come on....surely LJball is a worthy alternative to success? The clutch, the xg, the POMO, the possession stats. the box entries, the occupation of the defensive mid-goal zone, and the occasional ball played from bomb alley into the corridor of uncertainty is worth the 36 quid ticket money all day long? Some people eh? Don't realise what they've got. We don't need a man with 9 promotions on his cv coming in here and achieving promotion and upsetting the Johnson Lansdown cosy club, Look LJ's done fukall in 7 years of management and hasn't mustered a top 6 finish yet at any club but keep the faith fellow reds give him another fifty million. and another 5 years and with a fair wind and a lot of luck he just might make the play offs..........if you believe in fairies !
