Just thinking about this. This thread has reached 6 pages now and all everyone is doing is talking about recruitment. Not the lack of cohesion in our play, the lack of a style or system almost 18 months into a job, the fact our second half record is absolutely appalling, the lack of interest in keeping the ball, the poor results, the appalling way last season ended, Warnock using Mendez-Laing and building his fitness for, well, nobody quite knows, the poor set pieces, the fact he wrote the season off when we were chasing the top six when there was a third of it left to play and he’d just signed four of ‘his’ players, the fact we got worse the more resources he was given, the snide comments about club staff and throwing playing personnel under the bus when he was just as culpable if not more so… the abuse of officials, the moaning, the ‘keeper smacking it up the pitch to nobody, the fact he moaned about not having a target man and then got one and left him on the bench, the midfielders at wing back while defenders sit on the bench and our wing backs play for other clubs, the countless times our ‘man-for-man’ system ended up with opposition players being unmarked and doing damage, the gaping holes through the middle of the team… how he sacked the cups off as quickly as he could, the fact some players appeared untouchable regardless of form while others were criticised…
Nobody is talking about the real reasons he’s gone. The results weren’t good enough. He had us near the playoffs and it fell apart after he made his signings. This season we’re struggling. He’s had two dozen new players in just under 18 months. He had access to all of that funding, the enviable training facilities and the ridiculously productive youth academy. He had all of that and he leaves us in 14th place, moaning about how others are at fault. It’s b*llocks, IMO. Smoke and mirrors. He’ll read this thread and love that everyone is talking about Bausor and Scott and not him. Exactly as he likes it, as he planned it, and as I’m sure we’ll hear lots more about on Talksport and the like in the coming weeks.
