Warnock Ranting

[Tyler Durden]

Vinnie Jones came to us from Leeds on a substantial wage reduction. He did it because of Bassett's powers of persuasion.

Probably wondered why he did it with all the abuse he got from some parts of our support.

Personally, I think he was a crucial element in us avoiding relegation. Not because of his footballing prowess, but because of how he seemed to galvanise the rest of the side.

Vinnie Jones is a bit of a strange one. It's almost like he's been airbrushed from our history. Nobody ever mentions his name!

I don't know if you've ever read Derek Dooley's autobiography "Dooley!" But if you ever get the chance it's quite enlightening about various things that went on at United during the 'dark' times! He speaks quite highly of Jones.

True, but in all honesty I do have some sympathy with players who do that, because it often isn't just their decision. Sometimes the club wants them gone so they can get their hands on the transfer fee.

Mick Jones went to Leeds. But I would never have any ill will towards him, because I think he has stated it wasn't a move that he asked for or particularly wanted. he was happy with us, but the club told him he was on his way. Probably a bit different in those days. The player probably had a lot less leverage.

I don't hold any ill will toward Deane or any other players that leave, I don't dislike him I just don't hold him in hero status like some do.

Nearly 2 million views, shows how we are a more massive club than other clubs who only think they are massive.

How many views will the Clueless, post game rant with the £20 note achieve ?

2m in 12 years = ~13.8k views per month
12k in 2 months = 6k views per month

We're massive !

Warnock is a class manager and if you meet him, a decent fella.

I'll agree that his promotion record is second to none but 'decent fella'?

Spoke to him twice at AGMs where he slagged off various players without a clue who I was. He was so cocksure with his glib 'got them eating out of my hand' patter that he never bothered to think I might have been related to the lads he was slagging.

After giving me and a few others a few precious minutes of his valuable time, he made straight for the Radio Sheffield microphone.

We'd hired the bloke to keep us up, turn us round and win promotion, which he eventually did. We didn't hire him to win a personality contest which he most certainly didn't.

Good football record and some great times with us, but sadly he ruined his own reputation with me. All the 'big Blade' bollocks and contract negotiations conducted through the back page of the Sun, just showed what a classless braggard he was.

So who are you related to then? And plural too. Intriguing.

I remember seeing an interview with Warnock when I was younger, think it was before one of the big cup games. The interviewer asked him if he knew all the words to the Greasy Chip Butty song and he could only remember the first line, the twat!

I said 'might have been related', so nobody actually.

I'm a miserable random internet bloke with no famous relatives, no mates, no life and no future.

 

[Fanny magnet]

Yes, it is.

When you're a young footballer needing starts and out of favour at your existing club.
Not when you're a manager stomping your feet over a new contract when the owner has already said they would negotiate once the agreed aims are achieved.
