I’m always interested in hearing rumours and gossip, even if to start with I then take most of it with a pinch of salt.
What I’m trying to establish is in this case is:-
What did Warnock say before the Wigan match?
Which player or player(s) did he offend by saying it?
Who was trying to strangle him before the police stepped in?
As you posted the story, surely you must remember the gist of what this bloke Bulmer (Auntie B / Leigh Bromby) said happened?
If you can try and put a bit more flesh on the bones then we can all make our own minds up about how much truth there is likely to be in it?
It was a while back but I really need to get some work done but this is approximately what was said by Bulmer at the time.
Morning of Wigan match; Warnock went to the board demanding a contract for the next season as his was running out. The board (of which Sean Bean was a member) would have none of it standing their ground saying they wanted to discuss it after the season was over as they don't know what division they are in.
Warnock at his pre-match talk states that he doesn't care what they do when they go out as he is not there next season anyway. One of the players incensed by this grabs Warnock by the throat (can't remember which this is a few years ago) the police outside were quickly ushered in as there was a scramble in the dressing room to sort it out. The police get some sort of calm and then the players come out to play in the most important match in our recent history.
That is the gist of it really.
