>.... It's not Colin's fault. It's Bates. I don't wholeheartedly agree...
Yes, Bates is to blame, I don't need to type the list of arguments in that direction; but Warnock did take the job, he knew (or should know) there was not plenty of money to spend, and also he has been influencing on the squad. Of course, he couldn't help Snoddy et all being sold, nor is he to blame for injuries; but he knew some injuries would come, and he still decided on who to bring in (even though we know without a wallet he could not select from first shelf...) Then comes what you do, and get out of, the squad that you have. That has nothing to do with Bates. Warnock has IMHO a lot to prove in that area, and I honestly doubt he is the man. We will never, even with new owners, be in a position to buy success, and after all the ball is round. My point is, we need to use our academy, we need to outsmart the foes with tactics, work rate, organisation and things like this. I am afraid we have to settle for the same division again next season. And no, I don't want to sound pessimistic, but might try to be a realist here. Most important, short term, is we play our part in denying the norwegian managers in the division any success, even if I like Solbakken and Berg as such, I wouldn't want their sides to be better than us!
