He can back up his assertions, he's not spouting nonsense. I don't feel he should be embarrassed by beating his own drum; it's like in job appraisals when I've line managed people I sit there and they squirm to sing of their successes and I think why? Show some pride in what you've done, show some pride in your achievements. Don't overplay your hand but equally don't sell yourself short because you feel it's arrogant. Arrogance to me is not identifying your shortcomings, not being embarrassed of your successes. If you're going to be embarrassed by excelling why bother excelling? Before judging it as crass I'd like to hear the interview. See how he was led to those quotes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davefevs Posted April 18, 2016 Report Share Posted April 18, 2016 He is a very knowledgable football man, who is at his most liked either: - when he's managing 'your' club, or - he's at no club. Prior to him going to Rotherham I quite liked listening to him on Talksport, but once in charge of a club he reverts to his alter-ego, creating a siege mentality that works for him. Cant believe everyone gets too wound up about it. The recent game v Rotherham, was not about Warnock, but about a shit referee, yet most focus was on Warnock.

allyolly Posted April 18, 2016 Report Share Posted April 18, 2016 And yet again he mentions us in the interview....words to the effect of "And the rapport I have with the likes of Ipswich, Sheff Weds and Bristol City spur me on". Despite the fact he is seems to be a Jekyl and Hyde character who divides opinion we clearly leave an impression on him. I for one like it when we get noticed!

BigTone Posted April 19, 2016 Report Share Posted April 19, 2016 16 hours ago, BRISTOL86 said: Neil Warnock has won six of his 12 games as Rotherham manager Rotherham United boss Neil Warnock has said he believes he is the best manager in the Championship. The 67-year-old took charge of the Millers in February after Neil Redfearn was sacked and has guided them towards a position of safety. Warnock has been promoted to the top flight three times in his career. "I don't think there is anybody else who can touch me at this level. My record is as good as anybody's," he told BBC Radio Sheffield. "I have got to show the lads what I want and why I have been successful and they have got to come on board and they have done. "When I came here I said 'you know how old I am and you know how many games are left and I have not come here to get relegated'. They have taken it on board and they have seen that we can move mountains and it is possible to achieve the unachievable." Thing is he is right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarcusX Posted April 19, 2016 Report Share Posted April 19, 2016 Is he wrong? His record speaks for itself and he has performed a slight miracle turning Rotherhams form around if he keeps them up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roadrunner Posted April 19, 2016 Report Share Posted April 19, 2016 Sometimes you have to blow your own trumpet.What is says is correct, so why not. Well done Neil. I for one would have been happy if he was given the job over Lee. I think I know what the next few replies will be. COYR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see the humour fella...but tbh, I have no idea what is really going on at the Gas...I don't read the threads or follow what they do...apart from seeing their results or league position. I'm not interested at all...I don't have banter with Gas fans, or have any mighty dislike for them...they just don't exist in my life. They are off my radar so to speak....so it irks me when I see so much interest and posts written about them by City fans. It's like watching politicians...more intent in talking about the failings of the opposition party and what they are doing, rather than the pros and cons of their own party. As for Warnock...he's good at what he does. Getting results playing his way and getting people to talk about him. Wouldn't want him here, because I don't like his style of football...still don't get the fascination with the guy though. Anyway...I've added again to a thread i'm not really interested in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CiderHeadDan Posted April 19, 2016 Report Share Posted April 19, 2016 Have to say I agree with his comments. Him and Mick Mccarthy are two of the best managers in this league in my opinion purely down to their track records. Warnock in term of success albeit mainly in teams who play 'ugly' styles. And Mick Mccarthy due to the ability to build teams with very low budgets and making clubs more sustainable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobBobSuperBob Posted April 24, 2016 Report Share Posted April 24, 2016 Heard this morning and didn't know that Neil Warnocks wife is very poorly with breast cancer and deep in the middle of chaemotherapy Apparently Neil has been looking after and nursing his wife and it was her that told him to apply for / take the Rotherham job to help him through their situation Rotherham fans are so grateful and touched that they've been collecting for her and she has donated the money to cancer relief I like Rotherham as a club , and I like NW tho often both these go out the window when we play them or any of his sides Hadnt seen this posted before Personally I respect the fella (And his wife) even more and what he's achieved at Rotherham whilst this is going on is remarkable as it is admirable Good Luck Mrs W , nothing but thoughts and fingers crossed for them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loco Rojo Posted April 24, 2016 Report Share Posted April 24, 2016 to be fair, the job he's done to turn Rotherham fortunes around - he deserves this one. Still dislike him though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As many many ex League clubs can tell you, getting out of the Conference with next to no money is no easy feat and Gary's done it twice. But that's not my point- it's about humility which Colin is devoid of. GJ is hardly a shrinking violet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

22A Posted April 25, 2016 Report Share Posted April 25, 2016 I read in today's papers Warnock stated; "Next season will be my last as a Manager. It will be in the Championship, but possibly somewhere other that Rotherham". I was surprised he took that Rotherham job though. When he left Palace he announced "I don't have the stomach for a relegation battle anymore". To start speculation; If he wants to stay at this level, but leave Rotherham, is he going to move in on Villa perhaps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
