Premier League fans want to see Cardiff City relegated because of season of controversy, claims Neil Warnock

QPR boss Neil Warnock

Neil Warnock has claimed the vast majority of football fans want to see Cardiff City relegated from the Premier League this season because of the off-field sagas involving the club.

Warnock, 65, said 90% of neutral fans would probably prefer to see Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's men fall through the top flight trap door because of episodes dating back to the club's change of colours from blue to red in 2012.

The veteran boss was speaking on commercial radio station TalkSPORT in a segment also involving ex-Cardiff boss Malky Mackay.

He said following the 4-0 home demolition by Hull City, which cast severe doubt on the Bluebirds' Premier League future, he got the feeling most Cardiff fans accepted their fate - before adding fans of other persuasions would welcome seeing them going down.

Addressing ex-boss Mackay, Warnock said: "Because of your situation though, I was listening to Cardiff fans when I was coming home on Saturday after doing the game.

"They almost accept it - what a mess the club is in and I think the average person or Premier League supporter now...I bet 90% want Cardiff to go down because of what's happened and yet the Cardiff fans they've had so much to put up with with changing colours and everything else."



Cardiff sacked ex-boss Mackay at the end of December following a very public fall out between Malaysian owner Vincent Tan and the Scot.

An email sent by Tan to Mackay raising question marks over transfers and his managerial record had been made public the week before while Mackay's right hand man Iain Moody had been dismissed from his role as head of recruitment back in October.

Warnock added he was glad Mackay wasn't back in work yet because he needed a break following the fallout.

"I'm glad you haven't got a job yet Malky," he said.

"I'll tell you why: because I think you needed a break.

"You know like when you've been in charge when people have come in and what have you, it grinds you down, it poisons you almost, doesn't it? And you need a break."


Warnock also said he believed current Cardiff manager Solskjaer may be struggling to adapt to a relegation dogfight with the Bluebirds having not been used to such an adverse set of circumstances.

He added: "I'm not being disrespectful because he's a lovely guy isn't he? But when you've been in Norway and at Man Utd everything's been rosy really and he's not had any setbacks as such yet.

"Football management's about setbacks and how you handle defeats and how you recover from defeats. Unfortunately for Solskjaer he's not had any to look back on in his career yet.

"To be thrown in in the Premier League in your first job in England, I think it's criminal me."

He is spot on he actually likes us fans but with a owner who has no class/respect and is clueless yes I think most people out there will have a laugh when we go down.

Warnock would of been a good appt considering how many good managers wouldn't touch it

Our off the field problems have made as an embarrassment to football

Everyone is tired of reading the same unprofessional shite that is going on at our club and the FA would want us to go down as we are an awful advertisement for the game of football

Our club is a joke - shit football can be changed and worked on - Tans administration is rotten and needs replacing with the lunatic cut away first

Once this is done we can be looked upon as a reputable football team - not a joke

sorry, but this club has been an embarrassment to football for its off field activity for 40 years..and nothing to do with board rooms..its part of our history..no one likes us and never have.
most fans ive spoken to find the family club of the year hilarious ,
havent you noticed the big police presence at away games?...it isnt because they fear tan making a fool of himself

Most teams would want us relegated anyway just because we're Welsh. I honestly couldn't give a f**k, I'd much rather other fans hate us than love us.

Can you remember the FA cup match with Arsenal when Ramsey was booed and he had a shocker? Some people seem to feel that putting players off there natural game is wrong. We as fans should do all we can to help the team & not the opposition team. Some players deserve our respect, I think it was right he was applauded this time but only him should get this treatment!

It's never right to applaued the opposition during a game ever.

We've gone soft, an we are an embarrassment to ourselves.

Yes, Im swaying towards your thinking. If Ramsey is a City fan then he knows the culture of it & knows what to expect. I wouldn't want to be applauded for leaving Cardiff and playing for someone else if in my wildest dreams I was a pro footballer. Any respect is for after the 90mins :thumbup:

We are hated because of the rebrand mainly. We are seen as the Disneyland of football and embodiment of modern football. It's got f**k all to do with hooliganism in this day and age.

Well lets let all away fans in future!! Make home games intimidating,as in the leeds game at np! I watched with glee,at the way the leeds players literally wilted before my eyes! f**k tan till the end of the season.Protest before and after a game if needed,to show him we are not happy,but show the boys,we are with them,every step of this relegation dogfight!! We are all,in little doubt about who the majority of the blame for this situation falls on.but all the negative anti this,anti that songs are sort of counter productive?inside the stadium at least.
