Super Posted April 9, 2022 Report Share Posted April 9, 2022 At least it puts an end to the people posting wanting him here! Good luck to him. Certainly a character. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MC RISK77 Posted April 9, 2022 Report Share Posted April 9, 2022 Indeed good luck to him- very good manager at our level and one of the games characters. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cityexile Posted April 9, 2022 Report Share Posted April 9, 2022 Whatever people think of his Pantomime side, I have always found him good to listen to when allowed to just give his reflections on football. Certainly a character and wish him well. 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcfcredandwhite Posted April 9, 2022 Report Share Posted April 9, 2022 Football will be less interesting without him. I actually loved his ‘panto villain’ antics (oh yes I did..!) and I will miss him. I also looked forward to when we played one of his sides. Good luck Neil The panto villain takes a bow and exits left stage….. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robbored Posted April 9, 2022 Report Share Posted April 9, 2022 As others have said Warnock has certainly been a real character who wore his heart on his sleeve too often which must have cost him thousands in fines. He’d make an interesting pundit with his vast experience in the game as a player and a manager. I daresay he’ll get offers from various broadcasters. Good luck to him. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gillies Downs Leeds Posted April 9, 2022 Report Share Posted April 9, 2022 Heard him on soccer Saturday. He is going to do after dinner speaking. Said that he had bookings for Cardiff & Sheffield. Then said really I should be doing places like Bristol. I think he really enjoyed his rivalry with us. Happy retirement to him, in my opinion one of footballs great characters, far too few of them around these days. 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curr Avon Posted April 9, 2022 Report Share Posted April 9, 2022 (edited) Retiring? That'll shorten his odds on becoming the next City manager I'm off to buy a neck brace and burn all my books about the beautiful game.

I think you are right that he could be an interesting commentator.He is also definitely a character. However the negativaty of some of his teams,blatant cheating and repeatedly getting away with it,and sometimes shocking lack of class in defeat when he didn't get his way will always leave a sour taste with me. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrahamC Posted April 9, 2022 Report Share Posted April 9, 2022 He’s said this before (a lot), my take on this is that after doing badly at Boro the offers have finally dried up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUSSEL85 Posted April 9, 2022 Report Share Posted April 9, 2022 I think he would have liked to manage us, as unpopular as it may be to some people, I think he would have been successful 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only time that bothered me was when we were playing one of his teams……….….. I used to find his post match rants about the officials really amusing and at the same time glad that he wasn’t managing us. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lanterne Rouge Posted April 9, 2022 Report Share Posted April 9, 2022 Derby next year in League 1 where he can sign all the old bruisers he wants. Seriously, I hope he means it this time - it can`t be doing his health any good these days and, I don`t know if he`s ever mentioned it, but he`s 73 you know. I saw him last week sitting on the quay in Looe in the sunshine looking contemplative so now I know why. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy retirement to him, in my opinion one of footballs great characters, far too few of them around these days. I honestly believe that he wanted to manage us at some stage in his career and that he loved coming to Ashton Gate. Great character in the game and love him or loathe him he will be sorely missed. Affectionately known in our house as “the eyebrowless one” have seen the Cardiff /,wolves game on Sky recently from a couple of years ago when he kept telling Nuno to fark off after the final whistle as Nuno followed him around to shake hands Edited April 9, 2022 by Wealwayseatcheese 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robin for life Posted April 9, 2022 Report Share Posted April 9, 2022 Deserves his retirement and has been a brilliant manager. Can't do anything but wish him all the best. Always think he had a secret soft spot for us and reckon we would have loved to manage us. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keepers Ball Posted April 9, 2022 Report Share Posted April 9, 2022 Warnock was brilliant. People forever slagging him off over his antics and often accusing him as a "Bad Sportsman" but i'll tell you what.He has worn that tracksuit, with that clubs crest on his chest at every club he's managed. The man cares I'll miss him and i'd have loved to have seen him with us because he was a determined winner 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phileas Fogg Posted April 11, 2022 Report Share Posted April 11, 2022 I've always liked him. His book is worth a read, shows that he's a good man. Lots of his persona is to deflect attention from his players, and he's very good at it. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Maesknoll Red Posted April 11, 2022 Admin Report Share Posted April 11, 2022 A great footballing character, I’m another who would have liked to see him here (although not in the last few years, more when he was in his pomp), a thoroughly decent bloke as well. I hope he gets some TV and punditry work, as he is very knowledgeable about the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Said on radio this morning that he used to try and wind our fans up as he loved the banter and stick he got Football will be a worse place without him IMHO 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
