LEGEND

warnockDM1504_468x411.jpg
 
Absolute legend in my opinion. Just look at some of those quotes.

"If somebody headbutted me like somebody has headbutted Kenny, then I would chin him." :D

"The two managers I really dislike are Stan Ternent and Gary Megson. The old saying that I wouldn't p**s on them if they were on fire applies" :D


And my favourite of those from the magazine feature is: In a touchline dispute with Phil Thompson.

“You can f*** off Pinocchio,” I said. “Get back in your f****** cupboard.”:D:D

Funny as fu ck!!!!
 
His legendary status was bebinning to fade, until I was reminded of....

"“You can f*** off Pinocchio,”.........:D

Legend.

A legend but, in true Blades style, let's knock him anyway.

To put it into perspective, on pages 282-285 of his autobiography 'Made in Sheffield', he tells of how Milan Mandaric of Portsmouth Financial Irregularities fame, tried to poach NW.

Now ask yourself the question. If you think he's a crap manager/hate him, would you be bothered if he was at the pigs? Sure, he made some bad signings but every manager does. But when he bought the likes of Shelton and Fahti, he was not operating at the level of business he's now allowed at QPR. And he did sign Christian Nade and Kazim-Richards, two players - who with the right support and teamates around them would definitely have been as effective as Adel Taraabt.

And, for anybody still to decide on NW, page 228 of his book:

"I've hated Megson for years and years. ...and in case you didn't know, the Megson way is boring. Believe you me, it's boring. The Megson way is never create anything, avoid defeat as best you can and try to snatch a win on the break."

and

"Megson says he's going to include all the details of what happened (Battle of Bramall Lane) in his book" one of the press lads said to me after the hearing.

"He's writing a book, is he?" I said "Well, it'll be the best fucking cure for insomniacs that's ever been written."

Legend. Absolute Blades Legend.

This however is the most ridiculous thing I have ever read. Getting rid of him was right. Replacing him with a twat and giving him all the hard earned money was the error. Obviously!
 
Legendary bell end.
 
LEGEND.

Reading quotes and watching clips brought back some fond memories. Sir Neil I salute you.
 
Loved his 'Trarore is a disgrace' rant this week, plus his second post match interview on Super Sunday. The best part was when they panned back to the studio and the presenter asked Ray Wilkins what he thought, to which Butch said: 'he's absolutely right'!

Embellishing his reputation in London as well. LEGEND.

As Bladesway states below, I am not sure that is the case. There was a good case for his departure, it was just a stunningly bad decision to appoint Robson. Warnock blew his chance in the Prem and took us down (albeit unfortunately). I think Sir Neil is a legend, but had we replaced him with someone capable then it might not have been a horrendous decision. Noone ever gives thought to Warnock's attitude either.In his autobiography (though I know it shouold be taken with a pinch of salt) he reckons he had had enough and wanted out at United. He was bitter with McCabe for: a) not paying him enough and b) not inbesting enough during his reign. Warnock reckons he wanted a break from footy, away from United and a fresh challenge in the future. All that said (and I am sure some of it is bull) I think he could have been persuaded.

I would not go as far as saying as getting rid of him was right. But appointing an absolute clown straight afterwards compunded the decision and made it look like a bad one.

Wow. Just wow.

United's single biggest screw up in the last 10 year was appointing Robson. Not renewing the contract of the manager whose tactics and signings were at least partially responsible for relegation, and who had taken 7 years to get us up the first time round, was a defensible decision.

OK, just 2 examples off the top of my head. Paddy Kenny?

I go back to John Harris and - in my opinion - NW was the best manager United have had. Never say die attitude which he communicated to his teams.

And of course we can go on for ever about whos fault it was for relegation. Yes, we were stymied by 'the system' on numerous occasions. Yes, at one point we were 10 points clear (although a quick glance at upcoming fixtures told most of us that this cushion would evaporate).

Surely the major decision was McCabe's legendary parsimony in the amount NW was allowed to spend. In just 4 years the financial rewards for being in the PL - or the doubling of parachute payments - make this a foolish decision. We never 'went for it'.

Who knows? We could have 'done a Hull' - wasting vast money of has beens and contracts and now firmly esconced back where they belong. Or we could have 'done a Stoke', reinforced throughout and become established (although the utter waste of £10m on Crouch illustrates 'a fool and his money...')

It's all conjecture and opinions. For me, NW deserves 'legend' status.
 
Do you really think Crouch is an utter waste ? The way they play I think Crouch will guarantee Stoke another couple of years in the premiership ,I think Pulis has been given the backing Warnock wasn't and he is doing a great job.

Indeed I do. Yes, Crouch scored against Man. U. but missed three other, simple chances - the type of chances you'd expect a £10m signing to take and make one point into three.

I've always considered Crouch (and Heskey) to be 'joke' players who have inexplicably been involved in multi-million pound moves and played for England, where their deficiencies are cruelly exposed.

Anyway, NW. Respnsible for my most exciting and happiest times as a Blade (followed by Bassett).
 
It's like Groundhog day on here, will all the usual about Warnock.

Just for the record, i regard Dave Bassett a lot more highly than i'll ever regard Warnock. He achieved a lot more than Warnock ever did, on a lot less money wise.

With you there Browny - on Bassett before Warnock but they are both legends in my eyes since they have done something that no other Blades managers in my lifetime have achieved - getting us into the top flight.

Imagine where we would be now if Warnock had a pair of strikers like Deane and Agana in 2007?

Bassett did a superb job, and was responsdible for my best day in football at Lecicester when the fortunes of Sheffield football switched for the first time in my life.

I do believe that Bassett couldn't replicate what he did in today's market where money talks so much, so it's difficult to compare. I've also always felt that our fortunes were enormously thanks to Deane and Agana - credit to Basset for unearthing them, but with all one off's there's a suspicion of an element of luck.

Either way, both legends for me, but neither have endeared me to them after they left the lane.

Just how I feel. Warnock said The Sheffield United job was his last in football........erm.....

Bassett, hardly a good word for us since he left, tipping us (rightly) to lose ever final we played in.

The key thing about Bassett was that he always had an eye for an player, and i struggle to think of many poor Bassett signings, whilst the Warnock poor signing's were numerous

I think he bought a few poor players - but his game was so simple he could get almost anyone to do the job requested. Flo was abysmal. Marwood was shite. Jones was functional, but shite. We overpaid for the center half who's name escapes me. For me he didn't do well with money either, but his cheap signings were exceptional.

For me it was true route 1 football, relying far more heavily on strikers. That's why it was all about Deane and Agana, and why the wheels fell off when they departed.
