Hope Bradford don't give him money to spend. He wasted millions at ccfc on players like Madine, Reid, Cunningham,Flint etc.He does better getting players from lower leagues who don't cost much.

But he also won promotion and brought in £160mill through it.

He spent nothing this season as he sold more .

Yes he made some bad signings .

But the fans loved his first two seasons and he United our club :thumbright: :bluebird:


Funny our fans slate Malky & Warnock as soon as they’ve gone, yet they are our two most successful managers for 50yrs,

Yes wasted money but both brought more money in to our club than wasted and our most successful.

Also our highest crowds under both for more than 50yrs.

agree..
as for mistakes.. its football and his were very minor.. Swansea gave a free transfer to a player they paid 15 and a half million pounds for last week...now that's wasting money..
and was more money than NW was given not to improve our squad but to fill the gaps left by players leaving...we/he bought who we could afford. people talk as if we were big spenders..

Well said :thumbright: :bluebird: :bluebird:

Our fans loved him when he was here and should realise over all Warnock was far more good for our club than bad and achieved a lot in such a short time :thumbright: :bluebird:

Re: BREAKING: “ NEIL WARNOCK “

wish him the best, great fit.

He likes to go to clubs and solve problems, backs against the wall and come out fighting. That's why I didnt think it would work this season for him and us. Probably my favourite manager since supporting City.

That’s exactly what Warnock loves doing Luke, one of my favourite all time Cardiff managers :thumbright: :bluebird: :bluebird:

Warnock made our club, we were disjointed on the pitch and bloody awful towards each other off it.

I've been fortunate enough to see some great managers bless our club, but without a shadow of a doubt Warnock was the best. Not just because he achieved promotion, which was astonishing in itself, but what he did for us fans.

I have no doubt that he will be bestowed with Freedom of the City and further down the line he should be knighted for his services to football.

The best Manager that has ever hallowed our turf. Thank you Sir Neil and good luck. :bluebird:

Warnock did us proud. Malky was Cardiff red so totally irrelevant.

"he spent nothing as he sold more" I really don't think so. Reid is basically break even, the only other sale was Zohore. Spent a lot more than 7.5 million. Not one of Warnocks signings provides a positive resale value.

we did sell huws sardi and manga as well..but yes id imagine most clubs spend money
reid shows a positive resale..and im sure callum Patterson , etheridge and NML are worth more than the combined 400k we paid.. not that that's how football works anyway but eh oh..

don't forget Holliet & Bamba that cost bugger all yes he made bad signings as all managers do but he made some bloody good ones too good luck Neil

people who slag Warnock off must be new supporters or have terrible memories as he was without doubt one of out best managers

God knows what league we would be in now if he did not take over from Trollope we were going only one way and for him to turn us around and get us up but more importantly get the fans and club reunited he spent many nights in the valleys and catch point areas of city fans for the love of the club at his age and all he has been through i believe he deserves better from us for me too bloke who you could listen to for hours about his passion for the game

I would be astonished if there was a single Cardiff fan who wouldn't wish him well and if there are they seriously need to gratitude their attitudes.

Ironically, I was unsure about Warnock when he first came as I thought maybe hid best days were gone but he proved me wrong, united our Club and gave us some fantastic memories.
