Yes, I've been wondering what's going on. Very late for a presser anyway.

Cardiff City boss Neil Warnock reveals he'd flown with same pilot as Emiliano Sala
I wonder who organised the flight? He said he'd been on a few trips.Originally Posted by LeningradCowboy
That's an interesting question.
No it's not. It's well documented who organised the flight and Warnock's name has never been mentioned.
The interesting party is that it would appear if the pilot had been used on more than one occasion then perhaps inappropriate flight procedures and protocols were the norm?
Warnock's name been mentioned, by Neil himself earlier today. So who organised the flight then? Was it a football agent, and do they normally organise scouting trips? Or are Cardiff City using the same person/company to arrange flights? Also how were these flights funded?
He looks wrecked.
Blimey he is so downbeat. I reckon he's on the verge of resigning.
Why do you keep repeating this ? It appears as if you are wishing it upon him/us and trying to prove yourself 'in the know'. Of course he looks downbeat and unhappy - wouldn't you given the circumstances ? Doesn't mean he is going to pack it in.
It's not that unreasonable of an assertion. He hasn't sounded happy for weeks prior to this tragedy. However, he won't.
I thought the same as you about JC's post (there's always a first) but then I saw and read excerpts from the press conference where Warnock actually says he's been considering retiring.
From SkySports: 'When asked if he considered stepping down from his role, Warnock said: "I think nearly 24 hours a day in the last week, that would be true to say.
"Even as I sit here now, I think that would be [true]. There are more important things. It takes something like this to make you realise."
He does then go on to say
"But I realise I have a job to do here, and it was always a massive job. It's doubly massive now, and that's when you've got to show your leadership and show the lads you're in charge of that we've got another miracle to do here."
I'm glad you added that bit
I was playing devil's advocate for the poster who questioned whether Warnock was considering retiring. I thought it was a fair comment because of Warnock literally saying that it had been on his mind this week - whereas someone else took offence at it.
looks shattered not his normal self... as to be expected
i cant believe its 1 week, wonder if there will be a gathering at the statue this evening
not right at all, still hard to get your head around it all
“I’ve not spoken to anyone from Leicester. But that was another week I’d never experienced anything like that. Two in a short space of time… the emotional effect that had on us, and that wasn’t our club.
“The game against Leicester was almost irrelevant and this week has been even worse because I spoke to Emiliano. I keep calling him Emile because I told him I couldn’t pronounce the name.
“He came to the training ground, was halfway through his medical on Friday. I went across to see him for two or three minutes and I said, looking at his gear he was wearing, he would fit in with our team, he had holes in his trousers and looked like a tramp.
“That’s the memories I’ll have, he said ‘I’ll score you the goals’, and I said ‘I know you will’. I did invite him to Newcastle and I keep thinking about that. But he wanted to go back and see his teammates and get his belongings.”
I don't care what some on here think. This whole thing is heartbreaking.
I'm not Warnock's biggest fan but I feel for him. He's crushed and he's every right to be.
I watched his news conference and he came across as dignified and hurting. He admitted to being ‘tired’ by which I think he meant he was emotionally drained. And who could blame him after the week he had had? You’d have to have had a heart of stone not to feel for the guy. He deserves a change of luck, and I sincerely hope he enjoys one. He’s a good man doing a very difficult job.
I'm with you on this one, you can see that Neil is really struggling. In fact, I would say that tonight's game has very little or no meaning, and I can't imagine anybody would want to be there to play a game of football.
Just imagine the team moral , and thoughts , when they get on that first flight together .
I hope for everyone's sake that Warnock has the strength to carry on. I am not sure I would.
If he were to call it a day no one would blame him.
Humble, totally respectful and dignified and very obviously deeply affected by it all. Felt for him.
