The minority already questioning Warnock

Firstly can I just say I find it amazing that the person that gave us probably the greatest season in the clubs history is already being questioned I actually think it's a disgrace

I just wanted to make this point, we had in my opinion an average Championship team last year, couple of signings that could not get a club, couple of signings from the lower leagues and absolutely no work beaters, before the season I predicted 8th-10th and would have been happy

For those of you already questioning him after two games even though he virtually has the same squad and smallest budget, if he had overachieved last year and got us the play offs but missed out on promotion would you still be calling his head if we had a decent start in the Championship even though it is a league below where we are now? I doubt it and I actually think it's completely disrespectful to a man that has done wonders for this football club

You are the type of people that would have wanted Ranieri sacked after winning the league, Warnock reads this board he's said it himself, please don't tarnish the rest of us with your stupid, ridiculous comments and get your head out of your arse and realise how difficult this league is without having probably the weakest squad on paper

To be honest I think if we are not detached by xmas NW will dip into the market to save our status supported by Mr Tan.

Why are you getting so uptight about this? This sort of thing happens at every club.

Warnock is well aware if he struggles he will be replaced. He has said so himself. We all want him to pull this off.

Some people have short memories and for us to be where we are right now is nothing short of a miracle!

What I would ask those who appear to have already given up is "Who would you have in charge for the next promotion push, IF we were to be relegated this season?"

I know where my vote would be and he already has a contract for the next two years at the club!

You do not have the required permissions to view the files attached to this post.

Probably the doubters are the recently acquired 12k supporters
NW for this season and next whatever happens.
35 games to go, lets enjoy these big games and get CCS stadium bouncing.
We need to be the 12th man whatever the results.

Who will we get in that will be more capable of getting us points??? And those blaming warnock for lack of signings obviously have no clue how the club works. Even if we go down i would love warnock at the helm next year.

Why are you getting so uptight about this? This sort of thing happens at every club.

Warnock is well aware if he struggles he will be replaced. He has said so himself. We all want him to pull this off.

Why am I getting uptight about a minority of fans already becoming vocal against potentially one of our greatest managers of all time

It happens at every club? Predicted to come 20th, currently 15th, 3 games into a season. Joke

Thing is Ian I almost think that some don’t want success of any description so they can say I told you so. I really hope not.

Did you get that IPTV sorted?

Top post!! 100% behind Neil. Watch everyone change when we've beaten Arsenal

Always get flakey ones at every club.. not really sure you can call them fans.. but hey ho.. those with half a brain cell will know what a great job NW has done and we should stick with him even if we get relegated.

To be honest what he did last season was nothing short of a miracle especially considering what he took over which was a broken a club, no one can take away that achievement from him. Without a doubt Neil Warnock is a top quality championship manager and personally my favourite manager since I’ve been supporting City and I would love it if he could prove a lot of people wrong and show he is a premiership manager. However that doesn’t mean I will not raise concerns as I see them and some red flags are already being raised this season but he also has to be given time to get things right.

Although I see a lot of people happy to write off certain players unproven in the premiership after a couple of games but when it comes to Warnock no bad word should be said. I don’t agree with that personally.

I do feel something in Warnock changed the last third of last season We went from playing brilliant attacking football, some of the best I’ve seen to a team far more cautious to the point we were literally waiting on set pieces. I won’t fault Warnock on that though we got over the line with an impressive points tally and fully deserved our promotion. However this season we seem to have followed that model and to the extreme where our home game seems to be about stopping the opposition.

Do I want him sacked of course not, I think that would be totally unfair and he deserves a chance to prove himself. however I do query some of his decision in the transfer market irrespective of the budge and the way we have been setting up in games. Warnock has time to get it right and to get more from the players and I really hope he does, I thought the game V Norwich was a great chance for that but sadly it raised more questions than answers.

You are absolutely right as fans we have every right to question the managers decisions and we could reach a tipping point where he is replaced.

However, my personal opinion is NW is doing a great job and I honestly can't think of a manager who could do better with the resource we have or for a plan B if we go down (the world's greatest Championship manager).

I will question his decisions if I think he is wrong (e.g. playing Peltier before Jazz or Manga) but I will also defend him when he has tried his best.

This minority probably supported the jacks last season and wore red the last time they came to a City game

This is a great example of how posters can question the manager's decision's without going overboard and spreading negativity. I agree with a lot of the above but maybe understand more NW's thinking by using 'park the Bus' strategy as our primary tactic.

Mind you it is fair to say that not all NW's transfer business has been a raving success but when compared to OGS and MM it is probably not that bad.

That's a great contribution to the debate, thank-you

dont think your a million miles off ....seems to be quite a few new posters questioning and critical of everything..certainly not what i hear in convo after games..?

This post is probably as accurate of the situation as you can get? Cannot fault of complain about NW contribution to the clubs rise from chaos to stability but think the majority of the complaints are about style play, as pointed out he seems to have gone from fast attacking play centred on getting into opponents area quickly to sit back and hope we score from set pieces! Unfortunately we do not have someone of the class of whitts to deliver dangerous balls or score from free kicks to make this work. Hopefully he will change as season progresses and players get use to pace of premiership.

Spot on analyses. He has done a wonderful job for us and long may it continue but that doesn't mean we cant raise concerns.

There wasn’t a huge amount of attacking football last year at any time. Occasionally it happened but it wasn’t a strategy we pursued.

A bit of an over-reaction here.

Firstly, if you think that last season was the greatest in the Club’s history then you do not know an awful lot about the history of this Club.

Secondly, I have not heard a great clamour for Warnock to be sacked.

I am a great fan of Warnock. I was begging for him to be appointed ages before he came and I think that what he has achieved here is absolutely incredible. However, fans surely have every right to question aspects of his management, and I think some of his tactics and signings do beg scrutiny.

Anybody who bothered to make the effort to attend Tuesday’s game has the right to question his tactics. The performance was terrible to watch, with two wingers hogging the touchline while our two centre-mids were overrun by their overloaded midfield. Nothing was done to counter this. In the Premier League, Warnock's selections appear to be aimed at not losing(and certainly at not losing badly) rather than winning. Was that justified against the likes of Huddersfield? Playing a lone, isolated and relatively unproven striker this season is going to be hard watching.

If one is really immersed in the Club then it is difficult not to at least question some of his signings. How can one not question the merits of signing the likes of Madine and Tomlin, and even Bobby Reid unless he is going to be played in his proper position?

I question a lot of what he does, but it does not mean that he does not have my total and utter support, because he does.

Good post from probably the most sensible and balanced poster on this forum

Some people have short memories and for us to be where we are right now is nothing short of a miracle!

Exactly Chris.

Good manager, average squad. Just like when Man U won the league with an average squad we would sink quick if Warnock left.

Don’t know if it’s true and I’m not having a go but I’ve read that you rarely watch City live.
To that point, the first third of last season and our attacking football was superb played with flair and pace. After that it seemed to be a little more defence and set piece based.

This is the best post,in my opinion, for a very long time. Sums up almost exactly the way I see things and probably quite a few others.
We all love Warnock but he is not some sort of god that can do no wrong and he can and should be criticised when, we think, he’s got things wrong.

no there wasnt..Burton away fortunate to get a result in a disjointed performance..2 awful draws against Wednesday and Millwall at home, hammered by Preston.an absolutely dreadful performance at Brum..
i absolutely loved last season us against the world with 11 players buying into Warnock having them work their nuts off , brilliant attacking football it was not..had it been we would have had a few plaudits along the way...i agree though the last 8 or so there was defo more emphasis on playing for a draw....because the 4th quarter was much tougher than the 3rd quarter..

Why are you getting so uptight about this? This sort of thing happens at every club.

Warnock is well aware if he struggles he will be replaced. He has said so himself. We all want him to pull this off.

Why am I getting uptight about a minority of fans already becoming vocal against potentially one of our greatest managers of all time

It happens at every club? Predicted to come 20th, currently 15th, 3 games into a season. Joke

Think you need to go and take a chill pill.

Burton away we dominated the 2nd half and it was only a question of time before we got the winner. We did leave it late though.

Preson and Birmingham were the next 2 games I went to and less talked about those the better.
