Which would be a fair point if we had won all of those "meaningless games" we didn't so there was no need to exclude them from any analysis of Warnock's performance. For the whole of this year the results have been poor, you can exclude any periods you like there are no redeeming characteristics to be found.People will ask why he didn't play youth players in meaningless games. They will also ask why he gave up on the playoffs so early. They will also state our results have been terrible for X amount of time and include those "meaningless" games into the equation.
It has been plain for some time that Payero and Lea-Siliki were not "Warnock" signings, that Crooks, Peltier and Bamba were (Ikpeazu I wouldn't have said). It couldn't go on. The manager was "retiring" at the end of the season and the results had been poor/bad, ideally his dismissal/replacement wouldn't have been so public but football is just as leaky as politics. If you recall the ITK thread from about a month ago I would guess that was when the decision had been made. ITK guy just didn't get the date right!
He's gone. Thanks Mr. Warnock.
I just hope that we give this set up a good go not abandon it if we fail to go up inside a couple of years because the set up needs to be sustainable not a desperate Derby-esque gamble on promotion to the PL.
