Do we really need yet another post on Warnock? In summary. He's a good manager, a very good manager in fact. Congratulations on promotion - I don't care either way if they stay up. Those that think his actions are fine, then that's your prerogative. I defended him to the hilt when he was here but his actions since have made me realise that what he'd said when he was with us was what he says at every club which makes him a suck arse and not very genuine but some obviously disagree.

An extra 5,000 fans to watch them drop like a stone back in to Div 2.

Yippee.

[Eric Cartman]

Football manager reeling out cliches. I’m surprised you’re surprised.

Where have I said I'm surprised?
I just said he's an arsehole.

So in short, they will still be getting the highest support in recent history, whatever your independent view on his brand if football is.

However much the protestors protest, the numbers will continually keep on telling them that they are wrong. And they will keep on sticking their fingers in their ears and shouting loudly.

The attendance figures will drop like a stone, just like the team, as soon as a return to Div 2 is confirmed.

ALL clubs have a PL spike in attendances. You can’t surely have this down as a “Warnock” factor ? Can you ??

What I will concede is that I am somewhat surprised as to how a team, like Cardiff, has succeeded in the Championship. But I seriously doubt there has been a team less well equipped to cope with PL football in a long long time. Even Huddersfield !!

Time will tell.

Wonder if Madine will be sold to boost the transfer kitty, can see there being plenty of takers.

Bolton might buy him back for 500k.

Now there's a transfer that'll raise questions next season.

Agreed. The Cardiff side Warnock has built is abject. It's amazing that they have got up. Reliant on defensive organisation, banging it long and high and well choreographed cheating at set plays the shit-housery they have relied upon in the championship will not work. Instead of incompetent championships refs who him and his retinue of mouthy gobshites can intimidate they will face publicity seeking premier league officials who are hell bent on protecting the big stars and doing the top 6 managers bidding or whatever Lineker says. Reckon Cardiff may trouble Derby County's record low points total unless they sack him quickly

Indeed, they are a very poor side, how they have achieved the points total they have is baffling.

Then again, Millwall Post xmas and Bolton have achieved their season totals by playing exactly the same. Look at is vs Bristol, two more set plays.

They say that goals from set pieces is a myth, well we're the type of club that certainly add substance to the myth. Seems every goal we concede is either a set piece, or a big punt into the box.

 

[FATTYFOULKE]

Heard him on the radio the other day and he said something like they’ll be able to give anybody a game at home but away in the Premier League is very difficult.

Get your money on them coming straight back down.

You entirely miss the point by separating the Warnock factor, and them getting into the premiership.

It’s entirely because of him, not in spite of him. They were relegation fodder when he arrived, a short time ago.

He has, once again, delivered winning football. As a result, attendances will be up, just like they were with us, just like everywhere else.

The haters are so blinded by the hatred of the individual that they continue to spout nonsense, despite all factual evidence to the contrary.

 

[wizadry]

Warnock had £6 million to spend on Gary Fucking Madine, that’s probably more than our entire budget for this season, both Wages and transfer funds. I’d expect him to do something with the funds available other than avoid relegation like he was making out.

With all the Warnock threads occurring recently we might aswell call ourselves Sheffield Warnock.

He is nothing to do with us so why is he in the General Blades Chat?

If you want to discuss the Cardiff manager then go on their messageboards or put them in the Other Football section for us that don’t really give a fuck about Cardiff.

My obervations and comments relate solely to football related matters, and discount any “hatred” directed towards the individual you refer to entirely.

So let's just stick to the facts - Warnock's Cardiff City will be supported by the highest number of paying customers in living memory. It's that simple.

Anyone who is familiar with Warnock's modus operandi knows of his penchant for big, bad and ugly centre forwards. And the bigger, the badder and the uglier, the better. He then puts a couple of them in the team and stuffs the bench with the rest of them, one of them quite often in place of a substitute goalkeeper. He did it with us with the likes of Windass, Shipperley, Asaba, Onura, Hayles and the Chief, the majority of who were either fucking crap or past it. Nadine fitted the bill perfectly.

As for the relevance of Warnock to this forum, he featured in 7 years of our contemporary history and the connection to Cardiff City is nothing but a coincidence, it could have been any one of about 10 clubs.

When Pulis' Stoke went up playing direct football, they crashed back down after one season... oh wait.

 

[SuperDuperBlades]

Neil Warnock has achieved eight promotions, which is a record. He is a good manager or otherwise he would not be working still at 69. He got us to the premiership and after he left we went into the abyss, eventually resulting in six years in league one. The reaction to him on here is childish to say the least. I accept he is very demonstrative and possible selfish but that doesn’t require us to use foul language to describe him. This year Cardiff finished second and we finished tenth, end of story.

Couldn't agree more.

Six million though?

 

[Dellas Cowboys]

Isn't the folklore that he won't come back to manage at the Lane whilst McCabe is in charge?

So when HRH is in charge and CW has left for Sunderland...........

They’re down now. But you’re right, we should hoof it. Hoof’s great.

I don't think my laptop would cope, I'd need about another 16GB of RAM.

....and plenty of us have handed back season tickets in despair.

The decision that he wouldn’t come back was not his. You have to be asked. KM has said he should have sacked him once we got promotion. He’s absolutely right. Cardiff take note.

He likes the Championship, him.

 

[snootyfenooty]

Six million though?

£1m for the player and £5m for bail provision?

I do hope all of those extra paying customers translates in to PL points

Yeah there'll be a few off here going to see them next season.
