How much did Warnock cost, £7.5m was it?
That was O'Neill currency, so about  £3.75 in normal money.

Reading his feed, it's 11m Euro's + bonuses. As we don't know what the bonuses are, probably best to not just assume them as part of the fee being paid. That's about £7.8m - so a bit different to what's being made out.

Richards, Amavi, Gueye. Not a bad start to summer at all.

If Randy is to stay on then with Fox running the show, money being spent again (sensibly) and a Chairman being talked of being bought in, then it could possibly be the best thing outside of being bought by multi trillionaires. Randys heart is always in the right place, it's his brain we worry about. Take that out of the equation and things could be rosy.

Also bare in mind that you never know what you're going to get with a takeover. Even someone who looks great could turn out to be a nightmare that makes us look back fondly on the Lerner years. It might be a case of the better the devil you know.

Yes, started pretty well. Scored against Blackburn in the 6-4 game I think.

Was shocking against Swansea when he made Nathan Dyer look like Cristiano Ronaldo and had those 2 games where he scored a diving header own goal and would have done the same the next match, but for Given making a great save.

Warnock's best game at Villa Park was the one in which he scored against us, prior to signing.

As an ex-left back myself, I think it's definitely worth shelling out that sort of money!

Was he playing as a defensive midfielder in that game. Seem to remember he played well there.

I think you're right. Odd really, as his biggest weakness as a full-back always seemed to be his use of the ball, which you would think would hamper him more as a midfielder!

Some of his tackling was abysmal.  And he let too many strikers get on the inside.   But apart from this and the comments above, he was ok

Warnock had an Albrighton-esque nack of giving away stupid, needless free kicks in dangerous positions, too.
