ExiledAjax Posted January 10, 2023 Report Share Posted January 10, 2023 Football Ramble interview with Neil Warnock has just come out. We get a mention or two and he really confirms that he both loves and hates us. First of all he mentions the time that he told our fans that when he dies he wants us to chant that "Warnock is a w****r" at his funeral. Apparently "Bristol City, yeh they got to me". Presumably all to do with the Palace ghost goal, Cardiff etc etc. All well documented. But then a little later on (about 30 minutes in) he's asked if there are any teams he wishes he could have managed - he says yes, Portsmouth, Ipswich, and Bristol City. Reckons we always get behind the team and says he'd have loved to manage us. 8 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d quite enjoy the winning but the turgid style of play, constant moaning at refs under NW? Not so much. Although I have to say I quite warm to him off the pitch. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin phantom Posted January 10, 2023 Admin Report Share Posted January 10, 2023 No offence to the OP but this is nothing new, he has been consistently saying the same thing openly for a number of years now 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post BCFCGav Posted January 10, 2023 Popular Post Report Share Posted January 10, 2023 I like him I can't lie. His villainy over the years has always been good for a laugh and he seems a good bloke. 30 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stockwood gate Posted January 10, 2023 Report Share Posted January 10, 2023 I met him a few weeks ago on a train going to Leeds he said he almost got the job a few years ago really nice bloke 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bristol Oil Services Posted January 10, 2023 Report Share Posted January 10, 2023 No-one can manage us. Not at this level. We are unmanageable, in this division. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lenred Posted January 10, 2023 Report Share Posted January 10, 2023 (edited) Exactly what we needed for years and years - a bastard of a man who knows football inside and out in charge. But never fitted into SL and JL’s Cosy Club ideals. Too late now but imagine if we had had him instead of LJ, we would’ve gone up no doubt in my mind. Ah well!

robinforlife2 Posted January 10, 2023 Report Share Posted January 10, 2023 One thing I like about that interview: Q: So are you truly properly retired. A. Errrr, well you never say never, but I've enjoyed Xmas with the family not worrying about 25 players. I actually reckon, we are the one club he would turn on his retirement for. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robinforlife2 Posted January 10, 2023 Report Share Posted January 10, 2023 Anyone whose not listened to it, listen to it at 12 minutes. I think he sums up Pearson very well, in the mistakes he's making here on the pitch. Warnock says how it should be done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The palace games, Cardiff games. Both QPR matches when they won the title. All of those had very good atmospheres. Can't remember the games against Rotherham or Leeds too well though.

Maltshoveller Posted January 10, 2023 Report Share Posted January 10, 2023 Would have loved him to manage us me But it seems loads of City fans would not have been happy having a winner as a manager 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedRock Posted January 10, 2023 Report Share Posted January 10, 2023 He certainly would have sussed and sorted Mark Ashton out that’s for sure! Regrettably, the moment has gone for him to weave his magic spell with us. Aside, no doubt, from Ashton’s veto on any appointment, there were/are far too many limp-wristed supporters in our ranks when he was at/near his peak for him to have been a manager at The Gate. No longer a realistic option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rotherham was good for sure, Halford I think it was with appalling play acting got the crowd going somewhat. Night game, slight relegation clash as we were nearly safe but not quite there. Yeah I'd say it was probably decent from memory. Edited January 10, 2023 by Mr Popodopolous 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marmite Posted January 10, 2023 Report Share Posted January 10, 2023 Too late now but imagine getting promoted playing "gamesmanship football", as opposed to the brilliant stuff we have watched over the last few years.

That's unfair, start of the season was great. Thereafter we have at home anyway created enough to get better results in a few games, some good possession and shot numbers but the finishing has been appalling. I think in the League we have scored at home 1 goal from 47 shots and in 3 and a half of those games had more of the ball and intent in maybe 2 and a games. To say nothing of the penalty stuff.

Bris Red Posted January 10, 2023 Report Share Posted January 10, 2023 Always wished he would have had a chance to manage us. Would never in a million years of happened under under Lansdown’s watch though.. As others have said we have no time for proven ‘winners’ at this football club. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest I'd feel the same if I was a Manager and got the chance to manage Rovers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Henry Posted January 10, 2023 Report Share Posted January 10, 2023 I’ve always quite fancied him from about Feb-May if we were in the bottom 3. I wouldn’t want him here on a year 3 contract but I think it would be fun for a few months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
