"I did invite him to Newcastle and I keep thinking about that"
'I’ve been in football management for 40 years and this has been the most difficult week in my career by a mile' - Cardiff City manager Neil Warnock
Warnock on search for Sala: 'It's by far the most difficult week in my career'
Cardiff City manager Neil Warnock has described the week since Emiliano Sala's plane went missing as "by far the most difficult week in my career."
Speaking publicly for the first time since the striker's plane went missing over the English Channel, Warnock said the aftermath had been "traumatic."
Commenting on the continued search efforts he added: "If it was my kid I'd want everybody looking at it forever."
If that was my boy, I'd want to be looking for another week. Even beyond that if I could.
– Neil Warnock
Discussing the feeling among the team and coaching staff, the manager said: "In an ideal world I'd rather not have another game at all, the way I feel at the moment." He added, however, that the players "need some sort of distraction".
The manager started his statement with an apology for not having spoken publicly earlier, Warnock explained it was "too early" and did not think he'd have been able to.
Warnock paid tribute to Sala's family who are in Guernsey launching a private search for the striker after over £295,000 was raised to continue the operation. He also thanked the "amazing fans in Cardiff and Nantes" for their support.
He described the days after Sala's plane went missing as "unknown territory." Warnock added: "I've never experienced anything like it... Things like this just don't happen, or you don't think they happen."
"I've met the lad and talked to him on numerous occasions and know how he was looking forward to this."
– Neil Warnock
Responding to a reporter's observations that he appeared tired, Warnock said "I can't get my head around the situation." He compared the mood at the club to the days after the Leicester City helicopter crash.
The Cardiff City manager said there had been a "sombre mood all week."

Warnock had flown with same pilot
Asked if he had taken a similar journey, he said:
“Yeah, I was wondering if someone was going to ask if I’d been on that plane. I’d been on a couple of planes like that, but I think the ones I’d be on might have had two engines.
“But I’d been over the top to Nantes a couple of times, and I do think I had that pilot - who I thought was a fabulous pilot.
“So I just can’t comprehend it.”

Cardiff City manager Neil Warnock revealed he has flown with the same pilot who is missing along with Emiliano Sala.
The plane's disappearance came just two days after Argentine striker Sala was officially unveiled as the Bluebirds' record club signing after a £15million deal was struck with Ligue 1 side Nantes.
Speaking at his first press conference since the tragic news, Bluebirds manager Neil Warnock revealed he had flown with the same pilot on journeys to scout Sala and other players in France.
Asked if he had made the same trip previously, the veteran boss said: "Yeah, I was wondering if someone was going to ask if I'd been on that plane.
"I'd been on a couple of planes like that, but I think the ones I'd be on might have had two engines.
"But I'd been over the top to Nantes a couple of times, and I do think I had that pilot - who I thought was a fabulous pilot.
"So I just can't comprehend it."
"I want to apologise for not doing anything last week, Thursday or Friday last week was a little too early," he said.
"I was glad Ken Choo stepped in. From my point of view, I’ve been in football management for 40 years and this has been the most difficult week in my career by a mile.
"I can’t get my head around the situation, when I look at Romina and the family, it’s such a difficult time and I look at my own family.
"My sympathies are with them and a massive plus have been our fans and Nantes fans. It’s just as well we have a game tomorrow now. The lads never met Emiliano, he came to the training ground before we went to Newcastle, but it’s been a sombre mood and it’s been amazing the knock-on with the players in training."

"It's been amazing the knock on with the players in training. It's unknown territory.
"Football is important, but when a tragedy like this happens... I think from the players' point of view they need some sort of distraction now because it's so doom and gloom and sorrowful, the place is so somber all the way around the club.
"You need some sort of a game to get firing again."

"You think 24 hours a day about whether to carry on," said Warnock.
"It's impossible to sleep. I've been in football management for 40 years and it's been by far the most difficult week in my career, by an absolute mile.
"It's been a traumatic week and even now I can't get my head around the situation."
"It's probably hit me harder than anyone else as I've met the lad and talked to him for the last six to eight weeks."

Warnock gives a transfer updat
Asked if transfer plans are in place, he said:
"It’s definitely changed our outlook, but it’s almost like if we don’t sign anybody, we don’t sign anybody.
Life goes on. I’m of the feeling that I’m not too bothered either way - if that’s right or wrong.
It’s not the be-all and end-all. If we get a couple of targets, that’ll be great. But my heart hasn’t really been in that.
Mehmet [Dalman] has taken those targets on board."

'The players need some sort of distraction'
The veteran boss says:
"I am tired. My age is not helping me, but it almost feels cruel that everything that happened - the Leicester thing, such a tragedy - you think it’s once-in-a-lifetime.
But it does take it out of you, makes you look at yourself. So many things crop up in your mind. We are trying like hell to avoid relegation, which is hard as it is.
But with me being in charge, I’ve found it a lot more difficult. In the past as a football manager, you wake up at 4am thinking about trivial things like team selection.
But this is another thing, way beyond those normal things you deal with as a manager."

The LMA have offered help.
"This morning I spoke to the LMA and they have a help of that sort, if I want to speak to anybody.
You’d be surprised, it’s not the lads you’d expect who have been affected. But it doesn’t do any harm to talk to somebody else.
You can’t put things under the table.
Three or four lads have been really poor in training and we decided tomorrow we’ve got to go with who we feel will get more out of it.

We couldn’t have played Saturday, but it’s a football club and we’ve got regulations from the Premier League. We’ll do the best we can."

People are working behind the scenes. We’re doing our best on targets, Mehmet [Dalman] and Ken [Choo] are working hard on getting players into the club over the next few days."

NEIL WARNOCK says he's thought about whether he should have insisted on Sala joining them in Newcastle
Hindsight about arrangements?
"Everybody is right after the event. We can all wish we could have done this and that."
"Over the next few months things will be investigated in great detail. I thought ‘should I have insisted on him coming up’ - and that goes through your mind - I think we’ve got to move on and support the fans."
"Ken was the only one who could have done the interview last week and I thought he did very well in the circumstances.
You have to muck in and help each other. You don’t usually find yourself in that situation. Vincent has also been supportive.
Asked if he has helped himself," he said:
"You’ve got to in these circumstances. Who motivates the motivator?
I’m ok when I’m in the public eye and with the players. My biggest problem is when I’m at home with Sharon and little things trigger other things."

'It doesn’t seem to get any easier at the moment'
Asked about regaining enthusiasm, Warnock said:
You’ll have to ask me how I can do that in a few weeks. It’s wrong to say things are back to normal.
You feel strange, you feel shattered all the time and I suppose it’s due to stress.
It doesn’t seem to get any easier at the moment. Whether tomorrow night will be better because I’ve got something on my mind.
It’s not long I’m left lost for words, but I am really.
Has he ever considered stopping being a football manager?
"I’ve thought that nearly 24 hours a day, even as I sit here now.
Because there’s more important things now. And when I put my phone off on Saturday, it was the best day I’d had. I needed that.
But I realise I’ve got a job to do, it’s a doubly massive job.
We’ve got a miracle to do, we’ve had another obstacle and we have to get on the bandwagon tomorrow at Arsenal - a difficult game - and then hopefully we can get our fans behind us for some big home games."

"Yes, while I must have used the words about what a fantastic fanbase we’ve had, this has surpassed everything.

It makes you realise what a fine line life is. That’s why you’ve got to enjoy every moment."

Elsewhere, Cardiff City manager Neil Warnock is due to meet the media this afternoon at the club's first press conference since the news that shook the football world, ahead of the Bluebirds' game against Arsenal tomorrow.

Sol Bamba reveals the devastation inside the Cardiff City dressing room
Monday 28th January 2019
Cardiff City’s Sol Bamba has spoken of the devastation inside the Bluebirds dressing room amid the disappearance of the plane carrying Emiliano Sala.
Speaking to Sky Sports, the Bluebirds defender said:
“It’s a human tragedy and if you’re human, you’re going to be hurt by it,” said Bamba. “If you’ve got a heart, you’re going to be affected by it.
“Even if he wasn’t fully part of us, from the minute he signed for us and came to see the boys to say hello, he was part of us, so everyone feels like he is part of the team.
“We have to hope because we haven’t found his body yet, even if the chances are very slim, but we like to think there can be a happy ending hopefully.”
“It was a tough week for everyone, we’ve all been hurt and affected by it.
“To be fair, no one could believe it. At the start we thought it was just a silly joke, but we have a group chat and a few of the boys in the group posted headlines from the news.
“When we realised it was true, we all spoke to each other through messages and a few of the boys have been calling each other.
“Obviously training was called off, but the next day we got together and everyone was in shock.”

Indeed, saw it as well. I really feel for him, he's normally such an enthusiastic guy but this awful tragedy has totally drained him. It just gets sadder and sadder.

NEIL WARNOCK:
Preparations for Arsenal?
“We’ve done the best we can in the circumstances. I don’t feel that I’m personally right at the moment, but I’ve asked Kevin and Ronnie to make sure the standards don’t slip too much.
“It’s been strange and almost as if the game of football is somewhere else, it’s not around us. It’s a surreal thing and I can’t tell you how much that will change.”

Warnock looked a broken man at the press conference today and I think for the sake of his own well being and the Bluebirds he should step down and hand over to someone else who can stear the club through a very difficult end to the season as well as the last few days of the transfer window

Both Neil Warnock and Sol Campbell a credit to themselves, to football and Cardiff City FC in particular. Both spoke with dignity, compassion and consideration for all involved 
Neil Warnock is understandably at a low ebb currently and it showed in his face, his demeanour and in his voice. It has hit him hard and it will take him some time to adjust, if he does at all
Our support for Neil Warnock, all the players, the club itself, Emiliano Sala and his family right now is vital

Looked shot to shit to be honest , it’s hit him really hard by the seems ,
With his wife sharons past health difficulties I think the Sala situation as really put life into perspective for him , and wouldn’t be surprised if he packs in football management or moves out of the frontline and goes upstairs so to speak.
It’s easy to comment from the outside we are not in his shoes .

club should get Warnock and his family away for a few weeks, he needs a complete break.
