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.
He's such a shithouse, swayed by a few grumpy blokes on the internet Righto Neil! It's part of his charm though, i suppose. He's got skin like concrete has Warnock, probably trying to guilt trip us into paying £45 a ticket for his Q and A at St Davids. Love it
He’s full of shit. If he knew when to go he should have walked away after the victory at Old Trafford.
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.
Can't stand the bloke.
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!"
Spedger
Great manager
Would love to have had him 15 years ago
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
Well bothroyd was a diving tart so I wouldn't have minded him on his way
Witts could have been the quality playmaker warnock likes in his sides , protected by the midfield workhorses , same with mcphail
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
I must have missed all of those “quality playmakers” he’s had in his sides down the years. As he kept on telling us, “bread and butter” midfielders is what he liked - nowt fancy.
In saying that I genuinely enjoyed watching Warnock’s Cardiff sides until the time Zohore got injured about two months into our promotion season and the 18/19 side came a lot closer to staying up than the 13/14 one did (although, for all Warnock’s blaming of Craig Pawson and Eddie Smart for our relegation, his selection and tactics at Fulham had at least as much to do with it as they did in my book).
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?
All that I will say is that, prior to Warnock, when was the last time that a City team got 90 points in a season and how soon does anyone think that we will get 90+ points again (or a +30 goal difference for that matter). 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.
