Could Warnock have gone to Sunderland?
The Cardiff boss was linked with the Black Cats job in the summer, before Simon Grayson took over
NEIL WARNOCK:
"It’s one of the few clubs I’ve spoken over the last few years - they have the right colours! You don’t get the opportunity so you move onto something better. I’m a big believer in fate and I think fate brought me here. Fans got on my back here before, but it was always respectful Welsh banter."
"Two or three clubs over the summer I could have gone to. I never got an interview. I was linked this summer but it wasn’t anything really, because I always had my heart here. I work for people, me, and Mehmet is as good I’ve ever had as a chairman I’ve worked for. I trust him 100% and when you trust a chairman like that it’s fabulous. It’s a good relationship that brings the best out of me. I wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for him. It’s probably disrespectful but I look at him like a father figure!"
"Sometimes I say things a little rash but he can calm it down, looks at it from the outside and comes back with the answer and he’s usually right. At my age you might think you know everything, but you don’t!"
"You need support and someone with the answers and he’s been a blessing in disguise for me."
