I thought the same, I must admit.

Delighted he’s signed a new contract, if a little surprised it’s two years - he seemed happy to assess things on an annual basis.

You can’t argue with his record in this division, or how he’s done since he became our manager.

But he has struggled in the Premier League in the past and, as you say, said he doesn’t enjoy it? Perhaps he just likes the idea of one last go at it. He said he always wanted one more go at another promotion, which is why he didn’t stay at Rotherham and joined us later instead.

We can only hope we get to see how he fares again in the Premier League next season. He hasn’t been too successful in the past, but it could be different this time - should we get there.

To be fair managing clubs like Sheffield & Palace in the PL is going to be an uphill battle for anyone. I doubt if we will be different. Any manager will find things difficult with the smaller clubs in the top flight when success is surviving for another season. The Pl as we know is all about money, and I'm sure Warnock would do a good enough job if he was with someone like Man City. Who could we bring in that would be better given that we would be one of the small clubs in the PL if we were to get promoted.

Neil Warnock has put pen to paper on a new two-year deal with Cardiff City.

The Yorkshireman's previous deal was set to expire in the summer, with concerns often raised as to whether or not the veteran boss would remain in the Welsh capital beyond the 2017-18 campaign if the Bluebirds did not gain promotion into the Premier League.

But he quashed those rumours on Monday night by agreeing to extend his stay in South Wales to the summer of 2020.

It comes as a huge boost to the Bluebirds who are on an eight-match unbeaten run - winning their last four on the bounce - ahead of their clash with Brentford at Griffin Park this weekend.

Neil Warnock: Cardiff City boss poised to sign new deal

Neil Warnock is celebrating fifty years in football this season


Cardiff City boss Neil Warnock is to stay at the club beyond the end of this season and sign a new contract.

Warnock is set to continue at the Cardiff City Stadium irrespective of whether the Bluebirds are promoted.


His current deal expires this summer following his arrival in October 2016. Warnock has led Cardiff to second in the current Championship table.

Chairman Mehmet Dalman held talks with Warnock, 69, after flying to Wales to watch the Bluebirds beat Bristol City.



Excellent news.

As an aside Salman is, on his performance to date our best chairman in my lifetime and I have been following them since 1961.



I think he’s a bit fishy myself :lol:


Damn, beat me to it!

That would be the sensible thing - if we go down first season then he'll then have more money to add to the squad and we should piss the league...
