Good luck to him, he did wonders for us and hope he does the same with the terriers.
Cardiff will learn there fate but at the end of the day if our team cant escape the drop then the board
will only have themselves to blame.

Re: ' Neil Warnock is back '

I'm a bit confused by all this; mainly because it started as a 'Neil Warnock gets new job' thread and turned onto something else...

Other than to say my understanding is that NW declined the opportunity to take the Bluebird job back on; partially because the Committee said his 'team' (Blackwell, Jepson et al) were not part of any deal.

I'm told it didn't go further than informal discussion; hence the politician being able to say the job was never (formally) offered

Other than that, I'm going to avoid all the other stuff posted and stick to the subject matter, which is the return of Neil Warnock and his coaching team to Championship football...

I am neither shocked nor surprised, as he has hinted at a 'short-term' project more than once. That it is northern-based Huddersfield rather than a southern club has surprised me a little but then again we know he likes a challenge; or maybe more fitting, the chance to be a 'hero'

I liked Neil Warnock at Cardiff City and I wanted his return recently. But it wasn't to be and we dithered before finally going in for Sabri Lamouchi; a very capable coach, who I believe will keep us up

As someone else states, Warnock's record isn't as clear cut in its success as some would have us believe. He had major successes at unfashionable clubs but he also had some abject failures, including his last job at financially sound Middlesbroug

As with any manager, it's a gamble for Huddersfield, just as it would have been for Cardiff City (and is with Lamouchi) and one thing's for sure, by the end of the season we will know whether Neil Warnock is the Messiah or turns out to be just another naughty boy (in this case for coming back)

An interesting period ahead, methinks... :ayatollah:

Thought he was happy with his media work?

He’s already had 5 relegations including us and also been sacked many times !

Has he been relegated from the Championship? .

To be fair, I don't think our players would have been suited to Warnock's style at all.

Don't forget he also has a big connection with Huddersfield, having been promoted with them before.

If gets them firing, which he's capable of, will be very worrying for us.

But if we go down and they stay up, I hope people don't blame it on Warnock not taking the job with us. Like I said, the type of players (the type, not the quality) are completely different to those who fit into a Warnock team.

He was never officially offered the job.

Neil Warnock might have had discussed it with Dalman but it was never going to happen because Tan said No.
Warnock would have jumped at but there was no way back in Tans eyes.
Personally I think Neil should have stuck to his ‘are we in this together’ tour rather than make a comeback.
Time will tell.

It is well k own that Warnock leaves clubs in a mess after doing a Warnock and winning a promotion for himself.

Check the teams that dipped after him with contracts and wages they couldn't afford. Often getting relegated more than once...

The irony here is, he could stick the boot in to us now and help them. While we have an almost inevitable relegation.

Ive said many times. This has been Coming for a decade.
Obviously, I hope we don't but the signs are bleak...
Fingers crossed we get a win to give us hope.
