Positive he has ploughed millions into the club.
Negative he shut the club down for 2 and a half years and replaced it with the red brigade.
Make your own judgements folks.

Red brigade is the biggest pile of shite I have ever heard.

Minute a couple of results go against us the usuals are on bringing all this shite up about our best ever owners days after the release of the most positive accounts we have had in some time.

Much like the protests starting once we were firing down the table last time in the Premier League.

Wanrock said he didn't use all his budget in the summer and what he did spent in my opinion was on the wrong players in wrong positions.

I'm January it was reported Tan wanted to spend more and it certainly looked like we were trying to get more players but they didn't want to join.

Besides I think most people would like a stronger squad but I think most people are complaining that we have played the wrong team the last two games and after 2 good results we randomly changed everything that has worked previously.



the much said did not use all his budget..

im not blaming Tan but if Warnock had money left I doubt it was substantial.


Warnock quoted at TWO seperate fans forums (i'm sure one was in Bridgend) that he still had £10 million to spend which he did not use in the summer.




you think we are one 10 million pound player short..?

read the board mate..mozza , manga ,gunner , murphy , junior , bacuna all heavily criticised..not sure the criticism is deserved as they are doing their best but are just not good enough..
if you think 10 mill fixes that your living in the 90s


Did i say we are only one £10 million player short??? I was replying to you're comment wondering if warnock had any funds left, if you also read the board further up you'll see that i thought tan should have given him a bigger budget. The unused £10 mill along woth the £10 mill he wasted on reid - £20 mill could at least got us a decent striker in the summer which certainly would have helped.

We’d be having a decent year in the Championship, and NW has said we were promoted too early..
It’s a £200m bonus for the club.

All positive long term..this year was always gonna be a write off, but we may yet stay up.


Agree. Getting promoted with a good squad of championship players and then spending millions on more good championship squad players was in hindsight going to come back and bite us as the season progresses in the top tier. Lets face it, how many of our squad would get into e.g. Newcastle's first team? Arguably our 3 best players are loans which says it all.

wasted on Reid ?...thats your opinion and certainly will split opinion.
but its a with hindsight remark either way, all players are gambles whether your Citeh or Torquay..
but that squad needs more than a 10 million injection.

Totally agree, throw some money in and you're the best owner we have had IMO.

I’m annoyed we don’t win nearly every game. I’m thinking of supporting Real Madrid. :lol:

Mods, is it possible to claim the 3 minutes of my life back I wasted reading some of the comments on this subject?
