Neil Warnock - The Autobiography

If this latest excerpt is to be believed then it doesn't paint Warnock in a very professional light.

I think our players were under enough pressure without getting to see the Man U teamsheet before they played. That's ridiculous.
Also, it sounds like Warnock was far too pre-occupied with the West Ham game when he knew full well that a draw for us would make that match irrelevant. What a clown.
 



End of the day the team dint need to know the man u team,they knew what we needed to do and didnt do it therefore we were relegated,no blamne can be put on fergie or man u
 
Not sure about this one, I don't see any specific part where it shows the players knew the team.

As for Fergie RB, it's principality that comes in to it, he was the one saying Liverpool should have played a full strength side, and he doesn't do it himself.

I'm sure this does
"The TV was on in the dressing room. I was not watching but suddenly became aware of the lads looking shocked."

The players should've been focused on doing their job, not distracted by what team Man U are putting out. The last thing you need shortly before walking out for your most important game of the season is something to disrupt your preparation. Bad management in my book. It's his job to prepare the players and he failed.
And he's not doing himself any favours with this book, but I don't suppose he cares - it'll pay for a new tractor
 
Next up... Liverpool :)

I HAD not really been worrying too much about West Ham in the final few weeks, because I always assumed they were going to get out of it anyway.

With Watford and Charlton down, I thought either Wigan or Fulham would be the third team relegated.

They were both on terrible runs and I couldn’t see Fulham getting another point.

Then, as we arrived at Villa Park on the penultimate weekend of the season, I saw the team Rafa Benitez had picked for Liverpool’s visit to Craven Cottage that afternoon........

I stand corrected,

Probably didn't register with me for some bizarre reason. In this instance, yes I would totally agree.

He's an idiot. He spends far too much time worrying about other teams in the division when if he'd concentrated on our strengths and our games we'd have stayed up.

And who's written this book for him?! It sounds like a child's 'What I did during the holidays'...very amateurish.
Was thinking of buying it but I might buy Sean Bean's instead :)
 
getting bored with this TBH, i think that any credability that he DID have after the season and after leaving the lane is very very quickly disspersing. Not to mention that he isnt doing himself any favours for forthcoming book sales

Warnock: Bates offered me Chelsea job
tribalfooball.com - August 02, 2007

Former Sheffield United manager Neil Warnock has revealed how he was offered the Chelsea job by their former chairman Ken Bates.
In his book, 'Made In Sheffield: Neil Warnock - My Story', which is being serialised in The Sun, Warnock wrote: "Towards the end of the 1990-91 season, I was offered the job of Chelsea manager by Ken Bates.


"Chelsea had a very strong dressing room with some powerful characters. But they were locked in a cycle of mediocrity and Bates wanted someone to shake them out of it. We met at Stamford Bridge and walked across the pitch. I think I was supposed to be impressed but I wasn't. The stadium was falling to pieces. There were bits hanging off it everywhere.

"Then Ken got out all these plans of the way the stadium was going to be when all the renovations were done. It was all restaurants, corporate boxes, the whole works.

"'Those are the outlines of how it's going to look in six years,' Ken said proudly. 'Why are you showing them to me?' I asked. 'When have you ever kept a f****** manager for six years?'

"We laughed about it but both times I met Ken I got stuck in horrendous traffic on the M25. Bloody gridlock both times. I hate traffic, being still and not being in control of how quickly I can get somewhere. I turned them down and they gave the job to Ian Porterfield.

"I don't have a lot of regrets about my past but I do have a chip on my shoulder about the fact that I never got a shot at another big job after that.

"It bugs me when I see other managers getting top jobs and I know they're not as good as me.

"I don't help myself with the way I say it as it is and I suppose I put a lot of chairmen off.

"But if you look at my record, it's as good as nearly anybody's."

Bates may be able to offer him another job at leeds. :D
 



And the second part of it,

I HAD always known Stan Ternent was a d***head but when Sheffield United played Burnley in 2001 he behaved like a deranged lunatic.

There’s a corridor at Bramall Lane from the ticket office past the back of the visitors’ dressing room and past my office to toilets.


TERNENT ... screamed at Blades' physio


On the day of the Burnley game our physio, Nigel Cox, was walking from the ticket office at half-time when Ternent came flying out of the dressing room, screaming and shouting at Cox.

“You eavesdropping t**t,” he was yelling.

Next thing, he’s in the referee’s room accusing us of listening at the door and moaning about decisions.

I’d told my assistant Kevin Blackwell to keep an eye on Ternent. I knew he’d be trying to put pressure on the ref. So when Ternent came round the corner, frothing at the mouth, Blackie told him to leave it out.

That was all the encouragement Ternent needed. He launched himself at Blackie and butted him.

Blackwell swung a right hook and smacked him on the nose. He sploshed him good and proper.

In Ternent’s autobiography he tells how he gave Blackwell a good hiding.

But we saw the incident differently. Blackie had a little cut on his lip. Ternent was in bits.

I love the opening paragraph.....

It was the boards fault of Leeds' demise.

Chelsea would also be in same place as leeds now had Roman not come along
 
Warnock will be live on Look Leeds, to sell his book no doubt, tomorrow night.
 
Anybody noticed that Warnock is spitting image of his mother- I thought he was wearing a dress

I was christened in the church in Frecheville where he used to go to Sunday School.
