He was emotionally attached to Cardiff, they went through a very emotional catastrophe when that plane crashed
he spent weeks with them in mourning.
The fans had warmed to him greatly because of this and saw him with tinted specs on.
He also got paid more by them which is dearest to his heart
The club have certainly put themselves in a very bad light with the whole Sala sagaAye
That'll be the same emotional attachment & mourning that led the club he managed to (still) seek to renege on their financial commitments
We played Norwich at home in the FA Cup 6th round in 1959.Frechville for the former and I've lost count of the number of times I heard the 'magic of the cup' story with "bus loads of Norwich fans driving past with all the magical colours".
Apart from the fact that there were no cheap man made scarves and everyone was skint, I wouldn't be surprised if we never even played Norwich in the cub. He liked a story did our Neil, even if it wasn't exactly on nodding terms with the facts.
I like Warnock. A great entertainer in the business of entertainment. His football wasn't easy on the eye but exciting nonetheless. Some dodgy dealings in a generation where this was normal. Warnock also didn't invent the arse kissing at new clubs with new fans. Every player or manager coming in a club say the same nonsense from Manchester United down to scunthorpe United. "Big club" "great fans" "as soon as I heard there was nowhere else" and when in the job it isn't common to big up your old clubs. I think Warnock was/is a blade but he didn't allow this to dictate his career or let people take advantage of this. Wilder will be the same.

Wow. 60 years ago. Thanks for bringing that story to life, Joe and please keep posting your memories on here.One of my biggest disappointments as a Blades fan .
Having thrashed Arsenal in the previous round , we were firm favourites to reach the semi finals and all the glamour which that entailed in those days .
There were over 50,000 there for the Norwich match and when we scored early in the game everyone thought it was a mere formality that we would go through . However , it seemed that the players also had that frame of mind since what followed was a very lacklustre performance resulting in Norwich getting the equaliser .
I remember walking away from the ground knowing that we had blown our chance and so it proved to be , as we lost the replay . A great pity , since that was a bloody good team which could and should have gone all the way to Wembley which was a far more prestigious achievement then than it is now .
Seeing as it's his last job in football, will Colin turn up as one of the VAR bunch?
Qualified referee.
Penny has dropped. Well I think it has.He's not ruling out another job.
He'll probably write his autobiography soon and confess to being a truffle hunter expressing his regret at never managing his beloved squealersWarnock seems to be either loved or loathed at every club he’s been at. It’s probably only at the Lane where opinion was split 50/50.
Personally I find it funny when he says stuff like this, just like when he says “it will be his last job in football”. It’s all part of his schtick. In a way it’s a reassuring constant, like Ken Barlow or the clocks going back.
It’s odd really that his detractors during his time at the Lane claimed he managed too much like a fan would and now he’s left he isn’t a big enough Blade.
Personally I never thought he was that big a Blade when he took over, not in the way Wilder or Billy Sharp are. United were obviously ‘his team’ growing up but from his teens onwards he moved away and spent his Saturdays playing and then managing other clubs in a pre wall to wall coverage era. I know plenty of people like this....it’s just how it is. Some people are supporters who live and breathe SUFC and others simply follow the results and take an interest, attending when it’s cheap or there is a big game.
In my opinion SUFC seem to have far more of the former rather than the latter (where as at our good friends across the city the reverse is the case) and our fanbase struggles to get their heads round this.
For me, personally the Warnock years coincided with my late teens/early 20s and I’ve some of my best memories of supporting the Blades from that era. Warnock has been eclipsed though now, time to move on.
Sorry, I don’t think he did a great job......took him 5yrs to sort things out.....and when we got there he threw away a 10point cushion in 6weeks by writing off games (like the 0-4 villa game) which killed usGood manager, great record, excellent motivator, and he suited Cardiff City. He did a great job with us and I'll remember the Warnock days fondly, however he is not a likeable guy and for me Wilder is different class.
He's never managed in Scotland......he has a home there........Hibernian need a new manager........
