Neil Warnock surpasses all my Expectations

To be fair you can't really use Gestade as something against Pulis and a plus for Warnock. People say he kept him over Bamford but if no-one was prepared to buy him then there wasn't much choice. If he needed to raise money for what he considered to be important signings than it wasn't a case of sell Bamford or Gestade. It was which player was there a market to sell in.

I doubt we could have shifted Gestade as his wages were a lot higher than his worth. Warnock got rid because he literally had weeks left of his contract.

Talk about banging your head against a brick wall.

I said 'Do I honestly think my 2 year old daughter could do a better job? Of course not....then again, I could be wrong!'......meaning literally anyone couldn't do a better job. It was a figure of speech.

Do you need me to answer it again for you to register?

Does my answer mean it was the wrong choice to bin the charlatan? Certainly not!

And as for setting us back years....in football if you're not going forward, you're going backwards.

Of course he was a disaster.

He broke unwanted home records that stood for decades.
He played the worst brand of football for years.
He signed players that we didn't need at the time.
He sold our best striker and was happy to go without a replacement.
He spent the best part of £25m on players that were rubbish or we didn't need.
He created a toxic environment amongst the community.

I could go on.

And he ultimately failed in his main objective - promotion.

Yes he was a disaster.

But he didn't have to play Gestede did he?

He actually chose to play Gestede up front instead of our best striker Bamford at times.

He even sacrificed Bamford against Villa in the 2nd leg - Pulis' biggest game for us - for that big lump.

Agree Pulis never signed him, but the fact he played him over our other two strikers speaks volumes.
 
I have always thought Pulis did a sound job - he took us from 10th to 6th in just under half a season and helped the finances by reducing the size of the squad. The following season with a further reduced squad we finished 7th, missing out by a point. I am saying his was success, but neither did he struggle. Look at Hull and Sunderland who went down with us in 2017 and where they are and that is what you call failure.

What I believe the opening poster is saying is that Warnock is doing a special job and I tend to agree with the resources he has.

I think we can agree some poor decisions were made by AK in 2017 and by Monk, and we have paid the price ever since.
 
Well said RW. Can’t you just ignore each other or agree to disagree? soon be Christmas and the season of good will to all men, apart from Spurs, Man U, the Geordies, Mackems, Leeds and Sean Dyche!!!!

At this point I’m going to give up trying. You still don’t seem to understand Yes or No.

Nice try with the “figure of speech” by the way, but you made clear several times you thought “literally anybody could do a better job” but didn’t get what you bargained for when the next bloke halved our win ratio.

So you stand by your statement that a manager with a 44% win ratio was “a disaster”? Interesting. I’ll bookmark that one for future, will be interesting to see how you wriggle and squirm when justifying your unequivocal support for someone with an inferior record.

I ask for objective ways in which he made the club worse, you supply me with one. A home record. Without referencing any of the positive records he set as a balance.

The rest I’m afraid is just subjective, all hate filled anger and emotion.

So as I concluded many posts ago, you haven’t got anything but your own heavily biased opinion which doesn’t stand up to any scrutiny.
