At last Cardiff City have what I would describe as a 'proper' Championship manager who has full control of the dressing room.
"It has not looked right since Malky Mackay left"

And isn’t the evidence of that crystal clear each time we watch Warnock’s team play these days?
The players probably won’t like me for pointing this out, but I personally felt they previously seemed to have too much of a say in things.
You get big characters inside a football dressing room. I’ve been inside them myself where managers are concerned about upsetting certain individuals, for fear they may down tools. Their mates in the side follow suit and suddenly you’re toast.
We saw this down the road at Swansea with Bob Bradley. The Swansea players were clearly not happy with the manager or his methods and made their feelings perfectly clear with their own performance level.
Paul Clement has come in and, sacked by Derby or not, he has implemented a training regime and management style the team have suddenly responded to. Hey ho, results are suddenly completely different.
It happens. My personal view is that things haven’t looked right in that Cardiff dressing room since Malky Mackay left.
Ole Gunar Solskjaer didn’t grasp the magnitude of the job properly. I always felt Paul Trollope wanted the players’ ‘love’.
After a while, I felt some of Russell Slade’s post-match comments became repetitive. Some fans were saying they saw the game differently. If the manager didn’t, how were things going to change for the better?
Well, I actually think Slade probably did see it, but perhaps was a little wary of too much criticism in public because he needed the players on board.
Warnock, however, has a bigger reputation as a manager than any of them. It’s his way or the highway and he won’t care who he upsets on the way. He is the manager and the players either respond, or they’re out.
You know, sometimes players require that kind of strong leadership. A manager is like a captain leading soldiers.
If he barks an order, then you obey it for the good of the team. If he asks you to jump, your first response should be 'how high?'
I can just see in the body language, and in the way they are playing, that the Cardiff players are responding properly to their manager.
He is the kingpin.
The players are galvanised , the fans are galvanised because they see the players doing what they want from them.
And it goes round in a circle. Hence the truly excellent wins over Derby, Leeds, Rotherham... and hopefully Fulham this weekend, too.

Hes spouted out some beauties over the years(Hudson being a poor captain etc) but cant argue with this. That's why the club need to pull out all the stops to keep Warnock here
