cityfan Posted February 25, 2018 Report Share Posted February 25, 2018 RedSA Fair enough with your comment, but Steve Lansdown has wanted Premier League, understandably, for years and the stadium has been developed with that in mind. Few of us get everything in life. The fans may prefer a style of football, Steve Lansdown wants Premier League football. Who plays a good style of football and is in the Premier League? Liverpool and Manchester City. I think we have to be realistic. Listening to Radio Bristol now, many people supporting Neil Warnock's achievements and giving him credit, regardless that they don't want that kind of football for Bristol City.

As for getting "dabbed on"" I suggest you remind yourself of the title of this thread and then look at the league table. You got exposed in that thread and also in this. Your points about long ball football are nothing to do with the league table. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love him or loathe him, he is a brilliant bet for getting you promoted to the Premier League and £100 million. Spot on , too many hating warnock , while he is in the top two and we cling to the playoffs , you either employ nailed on results , or a rookie who keeps on making mistakes.

Numero Uno Posted February 25, 2018 Report Share Posted February 25, 2018 If Warnock ever took charge of us I would be at home tbh. Would never ever watch that shit. Yeah, he won, he’ll take them up blah blah blah but that “football” isn’t for me. If you are the pragmatic type who would take the end result over everything and actually pay to watch that shit then good on you but not me. 18.5k Home fans today says it all.

View from the Dolman Posted February 25, 2018 Report Share Posted February 25, 2018 Looks like Warnock fans come from the same breed as Swindon fans. Unless I'm mistaken Cardiff aren't promoted yet. Aston Villa and Fulham will still have a big, big say in the second automatic promotion place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your points about long ball football are nothing to do with the league table. I was simply referring to the Optma long ball stats as reported in the EP. I don't see how this got me exposed. Personally I think Warnock has been a very successful manager. In recent years he kept a very poor Rotherham side up, then kept Cardiff up and they are now in the automatic promotion places whereas we have only won one match this year. He has not spent much at Cardiff and if he had come here I don't see why we would not have enjoyed similar success. Just my humble opinion and I appreciate not one welcome by most on this forum.

Spike Posted February 25, 2018 Report Share Posted February 25, 2018 I actually agree that Warnock would do well for us BUT it would be ugly and after he left we'd not have any structure left meaning a lot of fixing to be done. Cardiff may get promotion this season but their style will not keep them up, they'd need some serious signings and a change of style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fatalist Posted February 25, 2018 Report Share Posted February 25, 2018 Today was the epitome of "The only thing that matters is getting a result". Many people have said that in the past - fair enough perhaps. I am in the "I want to see a good game of football" camp - Wednesday was a good example of that. Obviously you want SOME good results (more good than bad), but I want to be entertained at football. Today I wasn't and even if we had won, I wouldn't have been. I feel short-changed.

In the earlier thread you made spread some wild speculation as fact that we'd signed far more players under Johnson than we actually had, you also didn't factor in youth players.

Port Said Red Posted February 25, 2018 Report Share Posted February 25, 2018 One of the eternal questions has always been, if a tree falls in a forest does it make a sound if no one is around to hear it? My question is, if a team gets promoted and there are fewer people around prepared to go and watch them, is that still a success? I suppose Tan will be happy with the TV money income, but in the longer term when the inevitable relegation comes, what legacy support will they have?

cityfan Posted February 25, 2018 Report Share Posted February 25, 2018 The point isn't that Cardiff got promoted today, but that the Chairman's goal is the £100 million, so no, he won't care about the style of football. Money talks! Cardiff are now in a great position. Let's see what happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
