CotswoldRed Posted March 8, 2019 Report Share Posted March 8, 2019 He's getting the best out of them. The players he has are generally poor and they should realise that. They probably have relegation clauses and are getting a bit upset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRISTOL86 Posted March 8, 2019 Report Share Posted March 8, 2019 By and large they recruited championship quality players. What did they expect? You’ve got to be very, very good to grind out 1-0s in that league and they have a championship defence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coxy27 Posted March 8, 2019 Report Share Posted March 8, 2019 Considering the miracles he has worked at Cardiff, they should be looking to sack the players who've supposedly 'lost faith' in him. The players are far too powerful at football clubs, and it will be a sad reflection of that fact if Warnock goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bar BS3 Posted March 8, 2019 Report Share Posted March 8, 2019 I’ve made my feelings pretty clear on Warnock before. I can’t stand him and would never want him at Ashton Gate. Even with his track record, yes! However, I think Cardiff have done pretty darn well this season. I expected them to be some way adrift at the bottom, yet there’s every chance they are going to stay up, which could only be deemed as “success” for them this season.

The Nest Egg Posted March 8, 2019 Report Share Posted March 8, 2019 The fact he got them there in the first place is a miracle. The fact that he is continuing his job, and displaying such admirable resilience and empathy after the Emiliano Sala tragedy, is something that any rational individual should have huge respect for. Sadly, while football can stop and be sentimental at times, but then it is back to the unforgiving grind and the media will jump on you after a few bad results. I never thought I would say this in my life, but for the sake of Neil Warnock ending his career on a high after such a horrible personal time for him, I would like for him to keep Cardiff up. Yes, you read that correctly. I had to read it myself a few times too. For context, I have always hated Cardiff more than Rovers, due to supporting City since 2006 and never living in Bristol. I meant those words in the immediate aftermath of the Sala tragedy, and I still mean them now. Plus, if we end up going up this year what a derby we would have in the Premier League!

Super Posted March 8, 2019 Report Share Posted March 8, 2019 I think he was close to walking after the Sala tragedy. That alone has looked like it's taken everything out of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMWANG50 Posted March 8, 2019 Report Share Posted March 8, 2019 I'm reading one of his old bios at the moment and he was ready to quit about 5 years ago when he left QPR so I am surprised he's still going and got the bug. The parallels with the job he did at QPR are uncanny and they gave him the boot because some agent thought Mark Hughes would do a better job and turned he owners head. Wouldn't be surprised if someone was doing the same thing to Mr Tan currently. Warnock is a bit of a marmite character but I've certainly got a bit of time for him after reading the book and the way he can get a team to play above their level over a season must mean he has a certain ability as a manager especially at Championship level. The fact that Cardiff aren't way adrift at the bottom is also testament to his abilities even if he has a bit of a mouth on him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I don’t mean this in a disrespectful way at all towards Sala, but if Cardiff had any thoughts about sacking him they weren’t able to do so with the world watching them so it kind of saved him perhaps too. Yes I know they had just agreed to let Warnock spend millions on a player but stranger things have happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marksy Posted March 8, 2019 Report Share Posted March 8, 2019 Like his style of football or not he's been a real character for the game and has achieved a lot more than most.

BS2 Red Posted March 8, 2019 Report Share Posted March 8, 2019 While I dislike Warnock, they would be mad to get rid of him. Nobody else is going to do any better a job and he’s the sort of manager that could get them immediately promoted again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they will stick with him. The comparative small amount they have spent will be offset nicely with the figures they will get from going up and down. Probably will make a change at the end of the season though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of ex players are vocal in the media with a remit to ‘sell’ newspapers and stories online - do you know how they are astute about what goes on at Cardiff City? Especially as Nathan Blake runs a property management company now and I think he’s still bitter about holding the record for the most number of relegations from the premier league as a player - five!!!!

Smacks of a phrase inserted by lawyers. Nevertheless, from Daniel Taylor's piece: .. the point to note here is that the FA does have rules, under Section E4 of the Working with Intermediaries Regulations, to specify clubs and agents should not do business with one another if there is a family link. Needless to say the FA doesn't do compliance. Still, no doubt the McKay twins would have been spotted by scouts anyway and will have long and successful careers in the Cardiff first team in due course.
