They get one view, from their position on the pitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Port Said Red Posted August 20, 2021 Report Share Posted August 20, 2021 I would have thought he would be more worried about losing to a side with 10 men who went 2-1 and 3- 2 up after their player was sent off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cityfan1958 Posted August 20, 2021 Report Share Posted August 20, 2021 Would love to see Colin come up against Nigel Owens, the rugby ref. Would soon put him back in his box, and Owens would be totally polite and not swear once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It completely baffles me why so many City fans think his vile explosions of temper are an act. When things are going his way, he can be sweet as pie. Whenever they aren't, hes an uncontrollably unpleasant shitbag. That's all there is to it. He makes no attempt to be reasonable when he's losing and is a self satisfied smug winker when he's winning. Outside football he seems to be a normal human being who loves his wife; so are most people - it doesn't make him a hero. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Took time out from football to care for his wife who had cancer - only returned as Millers’ manager when she insisted he took the job - devoted to his family and devoted to his football club - so how does that compare with Barton? I'd expect every single husband to do that, even Barton tbf. I am not saying for one minute Warnock is on Bartons level whatsoever though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keflav Posted August 20, 2021 Report Share Posted August 20, 2021 Colin is just a for any good points he has as a manager he makes up for them by being a moaning whinging pantomime idiot. to be honest am just sick that he keeps getting the exposure he should have been shelved years ago...

Philly The Kid Posted August 20, 2021 Report Share Posted August 20, 2021 I can't stand the bloke but do acknowledge his achievements. Given what he's done at other clubs, It does make you wonder how near the premiership we might have got with him in charge as opposed to the inertia we've put up with over the last few years. Perhaps this club has needed a nasty piece of work to get it going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hampshire Red Posted August 20, 2021 Report Share Posted August 20, 2021 Disgrace to football and any reference to him being most successful manager is using stats to create very false impressions; You will hear the other side of the Warnock 'record' if you talk to Gary or Lee (Johnson) who both loved getting the better of Warnock how about most clubs managed and left with fans really disliing the bloke - only Holloway can match Warnock for that one. I think Warnock is around 20 clubs and mostly lower league; he also failed the interview with our owner and managed one of the worst opponents (Rotherham) in a game lacking football and sportmanship that has ever been seen at Ashton Gate. Shocking man just in his job for self PR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swanker Posted August 20, 2021 Report Share Posted August 20, 2021 Regardless of people’s opinions on Warnock I think he’s been great for the game and his achievements speak for themselves. Should imagine he’s good company and decent bloke. Would love to have a chat with him over a couple of pints. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red_Alligator Posted August 20, 2021 Report Share Posted August 20, 2021 Neil Warnock is an extremely personable and humorous man, in my own experience. True I'm not a match official or player who's got on the wrong side of him. But having declared myself as a Bristol City fan he was very courteous and didn't display any of the hate for our club that some seem to think he holds.

The chap from referees support group ( or something like that) really laid into Warnock. Warnock did his usual pantomime dame routine suggesting that he was only on the pitch at the end of the game to thank the supporters and not to harangue the referee. One of the ex footballers on the show said that when he played against Warnock teams, Warnock and his staff were the absolute worst at going at the 4th official and was certain that Warnock’s touchline antics did mean his team got more decisions going their way - although we know that’s not possible, because Colin is always telling everyone how hard done by he is and, by the way , he’s 86 years old don't you know?

2015 Posted August 20, 2021 Report Share Posted August 20, 2021 One of the last great characters in Football, will be a shame when he retires. He's old school and in todays society is too weak for characters like him. Also probably the best EFL Manager over the last 30 years, his record speaks for itself, love him or hate him it's very impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was already told he wasn't in the plans, whether or not that was longterm or not I don't know, but he definitely mentioned he wasn't in the plans for that game whatsoever. But Andy Johnson said it was Rob Ullathorne who told him that is what Warnock said and he was there at the time. I, or anyone can believe any story that comes out, but see no reason for a player who was there to come out and say that just for a laugh. I have no issue with his management or his achievements, or even his pantomime villain act. I was just pointing something out that many probably wouldn't have seen or heard before (I never did until I heard that podcast). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he's a decent man and actually has a lot of respect for us as a club. He'd have absolutely loved to have managed us. Easy to say in hindsight, but I'd be fairly confident if we'd appointed Warnock in February 2016 and given him 4 years of patience and the financial backing Johnson had he'd have got us promoted or at least in the playoffs.
