Calculus Posted April 7, 2023 Report Share Posted April 7, 2023 Form for the last 6. Amazing stuff from Warnock. Reading and QPR dire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Popodopolous Posted April 7, 2023 Report Share Posted April 7, 2023 (edited) Yes he's done very well. Vs us they looked poor and outplayed then again give us a bit of credit for that, as performances have been overall improving for a while now.

Popular Post PFree Posted April 7, 2023 Popular Post Report Share Posted April 7, 2023 If it were his last visit, would willingly applaud him on a lap of honour at the gate, the game is short of characters and he has been one of the best..! 23 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then chatting to my Brother in Law the other day, also QPR , he's dreading playing us last day. I hope they stay up, but I looked at their run in and I can't see where they get their next point.

In terms of being the pantomime villain Colin is way and above the rest but if we’re all willing to be honest I reckon most of us would admit that we have a soft spot for him. Personally I'm not one of them. Simply cannot stand the way he willingly kills off any game as a spectacle. Respect for the turnaround at Huddersfield, but really won't shed a tear when he finally gives it up for good. 2 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Shadow Posted April 7, 2023 Report Share Posted April 7, 2023 If we found ourselves in the position Huddersfield are in he would be the "go to" bloke I'd take to get us out of it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His teams are dirty as well. The challenges on James and Scott in the recent game were shocking. The one on James was a leg breaker and a ref with any guts would have brandished a red card.

Even Colin said he didn't think it was possible. He’s says a lot of things that he doesn’t necessarily believe to be true. Sometimes to relieve the pressure on his players, sometimes to put pressure on the opposition players and sometimes just because he’s Neil Warnock. At least what he says is understandable, even if you don’t agree with it. Unlike the psychobabble that some managers use 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxjak Posted April 7, 2023 Report Share Posted April 7, 2023 You have to be pretty mean spirited to not have some affection for the old dude.......I would not have wanted him to manage City......but he has had an amazing career, hope he keeps Huddersfield up. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robinforlife2 Posted April 8, 2023 Report Share Posted April 8, 2023 NW is a winner, always has been, always will be. He's the manager opposition fans despise, but every club he's been at, the fans warm to him. I don't doubt many fans would have never wanted him here, but had he come here, and kept us up when in trouble, or got us up when the times were good, the fans would chant his name for years to come. After a couple of not so impressive stints, I am pleased that he appears to be pulling off mission impossible at Huddersfield, it's definitely a more apt way for his curtain to come down. I fall into the camp of, I would have liked to have seen him here. Not so much now, but possibly when Lee Johnson left. I just feel if anyone would have got us to the promised land, it would have probably been him. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a vile, vile cheat. If that were true, which I doubt, that’s a reflection of the players not the Manager, they should have the character to play fair.

Unlike the psychobabble that some managers use I've said before, as an opposition manager I have hated him and some of the things his teams get up to. But there was a period he was not Managing but working on talksport. He was great, humble , interesting and intelligent with comments and explanations. Came across as a genuinely decent guy, much different to the one who always gets results for teams. Like him or hate him, you can't deny he gets results. 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2015 Posted April 8, 2023 Report Share Posted April 8, 2023 Good old Colin. Winding all the right people up. He's the most successful Championship Manager in its History and some still refuse to give him his due. I would never have wanted him Manager here, but I respect the Guy and FWIW he is a great bloke I think. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Port Said Red Posted April 8, 2023 Report Share Posted April 8, 2023 he is the epitome of the old school Manager that will get short term results through fear and intimidation. Long term those same techniques breed resentment and dissent, that's why he doesn't last in jobs anymore. I've said it before and stand by the statement that if he came anywhere near this club I would return my season ticket and never go again, if I wanted to see animals I would go to the zoo. I can't stand his philosophy, style or the teams he manages, but if he keeps Huddersfield up at the expense of Reading/QPR/Cardiff, he will have my gratitude for a day or so at least. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Went in one of their pubs last time, very friendly before and after even though we won. Not sure I'd be welcome back if we relegate them.

Yep- I think if you're a fan of a club that seems certain for relegation then it really doesn't matter to you how you stay up- just that you do.
