ACCORDING to Mr Warnock, his latest disaster is down to his former players being so highly motivated to defeat him!

Am I alone in spotting the irony in this statement?

Is that why he tries to sign them all - to replace those he claims don't wish to play for him?

It seems very peculiar. Surely it is now time to bring the whole sorry episode to a close. If only it had never happened!
