NEIL WARNOCK DESTROYS WOLVES AFTER CLASH V CARDIFF, FANS WILL RAGE


Monday 3rd April, 2017

By Danny Wright

Neil Warnock has launched a scathing attack on Wolves’ spending habits and has claimed they will not improve as a team.

The 68-year-old watched his Cardiff side succumb to a 3-1 defeat at Molineux on Saturday but slammed his opponents after the match.

Wolves fans gave the ex-Crystal Palace and Leeds boss a tirade of abuse throughout the game but two goals by Danny Batth and a Helder Costa wonder goal meant that the Black Country fans would go home with the last laugh in a 3-1 win.

Warnock believes that his team are more than a match for Wolves after his rivals splashed out over £30million on transfers since Fosun bought the club.

Costa became the club’s record signing in January when he turned his loan deal in a permanent one to the tune of £12million.

Paul Lambert’s side have moved away from the relegation zone after four consecutive wins but they still remain three points behind Warnock’s Cardiff.

“You saw Wolves spent £12million on one player,” said Warnock, as quoted by the Express & Star. “We haven’t spent a penny. We brought Greg Halford in.

“I think we can improve, I’m not sure they can.

“I don’t think they won the game, I think we lost it really.

“I was quite comfortable with things early doors. Even when they scored, we looked dangerous.”

The stats suggest that the two sides endured an even game, despite the scoreline, as both fired seven shots at goal while Cardiff edged possession.

Wolves welcome Nottingham Forest to Molineux on Tuesday night as they look to win their fifth game in a row.

Neil Warnock makes surprising claim regarding Wolves side following Cardiff's defeat

Monday 3rd April 2017

Neil Warnock's Cardiff City side were beaten 3-1 by Wolverhampton Wanderers at Molineux.


Following Cardiff City's defeat at Molineux at the weekend, Neil Warnock has hit out at Wolves and seemingly suggested that they may have reached their ceiling in the game, the Express and Star reports.

A Danny Batth brace and Helder Costa's 10th goal of the campaign in the Championship saw Paul Lambert's men pick up a valuable three points as they look to create more daylight between themselves and the bottom three in the table.




Interestingly, Warnock suggested that Cardiff cost themselves the game, and was seemingly not impressed by their opponents, pointing out the money they have already spent.

"You saw Wolves spent £12 million on one player," Warnock said, as reported by the Express and Star. "We haven't spent a penny. We brought Greg Halford in.

"I think we can improve, I'm not sure they can.

"I don't think they won the game, I think we lost it really."

Of course, Wolves have not got everything right this season, but it would be unfair to suggest that their current squad could not elevate themselves to a much higher position than the one they are currently in.

Not only did the club make a number of signings in the summer, but several of those players had no previous experience of the English game, let alone the second tier, before their arrivals.

While Warnock is not convinced, Wolves have won their last four games, including three against sides currently above them in the table.

And considering several of the squad have been with the club less than a year, while the manager only joined in November, it would appear that they could still boast a lot of potential despite what Warnock thinks.

Sometimes you have to admit defeat gracefully.

Sensationalist journalism though.

Hardly a 'scathing' attack... Maybe a 'little dig'
