I don’t know if this has already been discussed on here so apologies if it has.
I just listened to it and what was noteworthy was that he said that he started reading the online fan’s forums and that the opinions of him expressed on the forums was part of the reason for him deciding to leave.
I was also not so surprised that he said that he didn’t have much faith in stats when choosing a player or that he doesn’t much care for Bobby Reid!
Definitely worth listening to though.
I don't listen to VFTN to much F-ing and Jefing so ain't listened to the interview, but NW said that Sharon reads the forum's and that was a reason he signed in the beginning, the one bit of credit I will give Warnock is he knew when to go unlike thick mick.Quote:

He knew when to go!!!!!! Pity those in charge didn’t know when he had to go!Quote:

His ego wouldn’t allow it and we now find ourselves in a bigger mess because of it. It’s been 3 years since that awful 2019 transfer window and it will take at least 3 more years to get back into a position of strength, assuming we don’t get relegated in the meantime.
I listened to half of it but switched off. He was interviewed from a kneeling position and it just seemed to be an excuse to talk about how he great he is. Fair enough, they probably wouldn't have got the gig otherwise.
That’s a whole different thread altogether Parker.Quote:

I think he may be telling lies there. I was at one of his Q&As and Dai Hunt was there and i got the impression he knew who he was alright. In fact near the end of the session. When asked Warnock said he would be happy to extend the session which meant Dai Hunt was up for next question. Dai asked him "who is you favourite player" and Warnock replied "that's a ****ing one tame coming from you!"Quote:

He would have got us up without the stupid pouncing about with Dave Jones etc
Get stuck in , team spirit , get the ball in the net , defend
Terrible politics though , raving tory
Whittingham, Bothroyd and Mcphail would have become much better players under Warnock's coaching, nqat!Quote:

No place for two players like that though
Under Jones we had plenty of flair but no bollocks and everyone went missing which is why warnock got us up and Jones didn't
Read your last sentence a few posts up on this thread.Quote:

As for the Podcast, it was never going to be a critical analysis of his time at Cardiff, but did it have to be so fawning about him?
Tell me you know **** all about football without telling me you know **** all about football.Quote:

He built the promotion team on a shoestring budget and reconnected the fans back to the club. What he achieved in 2017/2018 with the squad we had was nothing short of a miracle. You should all bow down in thanks to him, instead of trying to destroy the memories he gave us together with ridiculing his ability and reputation.
No doubt he did a brilliant job to get us promoted.
That offside flag not going up against Chelsea that day cost us our PL status.
Otherwise it would have been another great job.
Not going after relegation was a bad mistake.
That transfer window was a complete disaster.
So you think the interviewer was a bit too tough on him?Quote:
