If it was a different club, would you feel the same way?
NEIL WARNOCK:
“I haven’t felt like this, even my old club, which was fabulous, I had seven great years there, and built it up from nothing, and they’re doing wonderful this season as well.
“I don’t think managers ever come across the situation that I’ve come across here.
“From day one, I came in at a time where they really needed me, if I’m honest, and it was nice to bring everybody back together.
“I’m talking about Vincent and the fans and everybody else.
“To see everybody singing from the same hymn sheet and have the pride back in the club and then listen to the away followings now, it’s been an amazing two years to turn that round.
“I still can’t forget coming in the door and speaking to the same two guys I’ve spoke to for the last 30 years outside, and telling them that things are going to turn round and we’ll get better.
“In my wildest dreams, I didn’t think we’d do it as quickly as we have and have this experience.
“The club’s in such a better state now to move forward.
“If it makes the right decisions now in the next 12-18 months, there’s no reason why Cardiff can’t be another Burnley, Brighton, type of club.
“Because we’ve got the backing, 33,000 nearly every game now, it’s just amazing.
“I don’t only think they come to support the team, I think they come to enjoy their life as well at the minute.
“It’s quite bloody hard work down here making a living for our fans.
“A lot of our fans are on the borderline, and it’s almost like an outlet for them to come to the game now.
“They know the lads are giving everything, they know I’m giving everything, so they get behind us.
““It’s unbelievable, away from home as well.
“That’s why I’d find it very difficult, unless I was asked to, to leave.”

He really is in touch with us. His words sum it up perfectly for me.

People love to get ahead of their stations saying "spend, spend, spend" and that a different manager would do this or that with the team but Neil was at the time of appointment the absolute cream of the crop. And guess what? He still is.
No other manager in the world would take on the job Neil has, even with the club in the Premier League.
