" NEIL WARNOCK TO MEET VINCENT TAN TO DISCUSS "



Neil Warnock was quick to stress that he heads there in a positive mindset but it appears likely that the veteran manager may want final assurances over the money he has available in terms of wages.

Neil Warnock: "Its my request to meet and to discuss certain finances for next season"


Friday 5th May 2017


Neil Warnock:

"I met Mehmet (Dalman) and Ken (Choo) this week and I’m going to fly out to see Vincent (Tan) towards the end of May. It’s okay on the phone but when you want to talk about numerous things regarding club it has to be face to face, I’m going with Ken and a meeting should clarify a lot of things."


"He has the final say on a lot of things because he owns the club. It’s the earliest I can go and I want Ken to come with me, he can speak the language if we have to go into great depths about certain things and he can’t go until the end of the month."

"There’s certain situations I want to speak to him about and I can’t do that on the phone, not when you’re hard of hearing like me.”



“There’s certain situations I want to speak to him about and I can’t do that on the phone, not when you’re hard of hearing like me.”

He revealed that further talks over a new deal with Bruno Manga will come after his meeting with Tan, with Manga's contract set to be among the topics to be discussed in Malaysia.

“I'm very positive about it, it's me who wanted it because we have to talk face to face,” added Warnock. “Vincent's coming over for the Champions League final which is only a few days after we're scheduled to go there, but when he comes over he's got that many things on his plate it's difficult to get the two or three hours we need.

“And I'm hoping by going there we can find the time that is needed to discuss a lot of points because it's a big club this and it needs the main person to be on board with where we're trying to go and what we're trying to do.”

Warnock has already lined up several targets and has held talks with players, though expects to have to wait until June before pushing ahead with any deals.

To date he has prioritised sorting out new deals – or lack of them – for his existing squad and will lay out his thoughts on the futures of several in his ranks ahead of the game at Huddersfield.

“I'm clear in my mind about what I want to do, but then it's getting players over the line,” explained Warnock. “This time of year there are certain players everyone seems to be after. I'm talking to one at the moment. Two clubs have come out of the woodwork, one a really, really good club, but I'm hoping my relationship will clinch it, that he wants to play for us, he wants to play for me. I'm still optimistic about it but you don't know. Some clubs will out another '0' on the end and blow you out of the water.”

Agree a deal with Manga ,similar money with a release clause of say 3 million.
We would need to spend to replace,if it does not work out next season Manga walks and we at least cover next season's wages and get a sale.

Win,win all round

If Vincent Tan does not back Neil Warnock as he wants, I think we will be looking for a new manager in June
