People are very harsh when looking back at Warnock's time. Think we'd have had a huge chance of going up if we'd backed him with the money we gave Robson. Look at the squad we had then, even Blackwell nearly took it from bottom 6 to top 6 in about 4 months. People forget after warnock came in and saved us he pretty much improved us year on year with a couple of exceptions maybe but also we pretty much sold our key man every year. The year we actually backed him we went up with games to spare. 02/03 was an absolutely insane season. If we were 2-0 going into last 10 minutes I'd fully expect us to get a draw. Incredibly unlucky in that Premier league season as well not just with Tevez but some outrageous decisions going against us. Luton Shelton being scythed down in the 6 yard box at old trafford west ham last minute equaliser ruled out for no reason etc. Undoubtedly would have been better off with him than what we ended up with.
