I don't know, of course, but that's not how I've ever imagined him to be. Warnock was a master at buying the wrong players for his teams at hugely inflated prices and on big wages then being an unforgiving bast*rd when it didn't pay off. I think he destroyed him tbh. He was unlucky not to escape like Decordova-Reid managed to (for a tidy sum). Wrong club, wrong manager, wrong set up. What could possibly go wrong?
