NEIL WARNOCK PREPARED TO LEAVE CARDIFF IF TAN / DALMAN & W

Neil Warnock prepared to leave Cardiff City without any compensation if axe falls

"I still believe I am the best man for the job at Cardiff, but if Tan or Dalman want me to leave I will go."


Daily Telegraph

Monday 29th April 2019


Neil Warnock says he's willing to walk away from Cardiff City without any compensation should they decide to sack him in the summer.

Warnock, who admitted he got his team selection wrong in the must-win relegation clash with Fulham at the weekend , has previously insisted he would like to see out the final year of his contract next season, and believes he's still the right man to help steady the ship following a turbulent year for the club.

The 70-year old has revealed he will meet with owner Vincent Tan and chairman Mehmet Dalman in the coming weeks, and will likely make his case to stay on and prepare a bid to help ensure Cardiff bounce back if they are relegated.

However, he says he's ready to leave without making a penny should the club decide to go in a different direction, although he insists he's still the best man for the job.




NEIL WARNOCK:


"If Mehmet wants me to stay, I’ll stay," he told the Daily Telegraph.

"But it is one of those jobs where if they want me to go, I will go without any compensation or anything like that.

"It does not bother me about contracts. Because they have never talked about that, but who would they get who was better for the job than me if I was up for it?"


"I still believe I am the best man for the job at Cardiff, but if Tan or Dalman want me to leave I will go."



Cardiff's 1-0 defeat at Craven Cottage, combined with Brighton's 1-1 draw at home to Newcastle , means the Bluebirds are now four points adrift of Premier League safety with two games to go.

With the Seagulls boasting a significantly better goal difference, Cardiff will now have to win both of their remaining games - a home clash with away day specialists Crystal Palace and a trip to top four-chasing Manchester United on the final day.

I think he is going

Should be allowed to go when he feels its time. However, Wagner or Pulis for me.

Pulis football philosophy is the same as ours already. His marmite personality might be a problem with board though.

I doubt it will come to that but Neil Warnock has stated previously tat he would 'walk away' if he or the Board felt he was no longer the man for the job

Maybe Sharon Warnock has been reading some of the embarrassing "Warnock Out!" threads on this Forum since Saturday's defeat at Fulham?

Either way, some people need to be careful what they wish for should we go back to The Championship and I guess that includes the previously hard to please Vincent Tan

Neil Warnock has been a revelation at this not-so-long ago deeply divided and seemingly unambitious club. He took us from 18th in The Championship (under possibly the most appropriately named manager we ever had and somewhat ironically now Brighton's Assistant Manager Paul Trollope) to the Premier League

He (Warnock) is the most successful manager in the EFL and for those saying "He's too old", I remind you that his last (and record breaking) success came only a year ago with our own Cardiff City FC

If ever a Cardiff City manager deserved a little more respect and appreciation for his achievements, it is Neil Warnock

Personally, I hope he stays. All things considered, he is surely our best option going forward right now...? :?

This is why I hate the promised land and all the turmoil after it.Yes, he made mistakes but the gods were against us. We went up way before we were ready.

The ride getting there is fun but scrapping 40 points is a bore to me.

He is the best guy for the job in the championship

But if we go down and he takes us back up he should leave

If we stay up , he should leave

I would only keep him for the championship as that is his level , he is the king of managers in that league

Would love if Warnock to stay but only if he 100% wants to. If we go down we'll be one of if not the favourites to go back up with the pundits and bookies, there will be a lot of expectation from fans home and away and clubs using us as a benchmark when they play us. Could be a tricky start to the season and wouldn't want Warnock regretting stay a few games in.

I do wonder if there has been any fall out since the Sala tragic incident or if any of this links to agents etc has had an impact.

He seems to be saying it a lot though almost as if he does doesn't expect to be here.

If we go down as expected im more than happy for Warnock to remain, but I can understand the club looking at a different style of manager but the grass isn't always greener.

Sven I agree 100% with you, I think the majority of fans will want him to stay, believe it or not I think he has learnt a lot from this season, and he is definitely the man to get us back up, Neil Warnocks barmy army :thumbup: :notworthy:

Re: NEIL WARNOCK PREPARED TO LEAVE CARDIFF IF TAN / DALMAN &

Mon Apr 29, 2019 12:31 pm

I definitely think he should stay.

There's nothing I fear more than us in the Championship next season playing the likes of Swansea or Bristol with a team still suffering mentally from relegation, and not pushing as hard as they have for the last two seasons.

Warnock is the only man for the job. Steady the ship, then get someone new in after next season for a fresh approach. Hopefully a Jokanovic etc..

Some people need to be careful what they wish for..............

My thoughts exactly, he is just about the best Manager available for this squad and the rebuild needed!!!

Thankfully he won't go though !!!!

One more season please Neil get us back up and then either put your feet up or another backroom roll at the club.

Well said Chris. :clap:

Whatever our ultimate fate this season you simply cannot get away from the fact that NW, his backroom team and this squad of players have put everything into it. Despite having a squad pretty much made up of players with Championship experience we arrive at the penultimate match and we still have a chance of remaining a PL club. All season the pundits have written us off, some before a ball had been kicked, but NW has kept fighting, has kept the players fighting and all along keeping the vast majority of fans on side.

Last season was amazing and getting us promoted happened probably a season early in his plans as he looked to build a squad capable of not just getting promoted but having enough depth to survive a season in the PL. I hope NW has enough fight in him to give it another go next season, I think he has Why? because I saw him and Sharon the other day in St Davids Centre and they both looked happy, relaxed and enjoying life in South Wales. They say behind every good man is a good woman and NW has the perfect example in Sharon.

VT & MD should only be thinking about one conversation with NW, What do you need for next season and then figure out how they are going to get it for him.

I’ll be shocked if he isn’t our manager next season.

He gets on really well with Tan, Choo and Dalman.

Not many who would do a better job next season.

Re: NEIL WARNOCK PREPARED TO LEAVE CARDIFF IF TAN / DALMAN &

Mon Apr 29, 2019 1:55 pm

If we are serious about him staying then give him the tools to do job for next season wherever we are? but club must look at the long term aswell, nw as said like to be in on appointing new man well why not give him another season and look at replacing him at end next season regardless of league we're in. :thumbup:

if he is here next season and doing a decent job why would you want to replace him , let alone decide to replace him no matter how next season turns out. its not like you can have a replacement lined up as most decent managers are employed already..so you plan to get rid no matter how bereft of talent the manager pond is...makes loads of sense..

Tan was at the Liverpool game and Warnock confirmed they didn't speak. Sound like 2 guys who get on really well?

I'm asking this as a Warnock fan by the way.

Not saying get rid am I I'm questioning wether its getting time to relinquish the reins?
There is always managers available if you want them as for quality thats another story.... but guess we need to keep him no matter what as there isn't anyone else capable of replacing him ? :o guess i just want change of direction in playing style and not hear same things at press conferences like how little we had to spend how much their player cost ect ect, at end day he bought players and refused to play them even in a must win game like Saturday and turns around and said made mistake in selection??
Not bashing him as he is a legend here but all good things come to an end...

Re: NEIL WARNOCK PREPARED TO LEAVE CARDIFF IF TAN / DALMAN &

Mon Apr 29, 2019 3:40 pm

Give him one last season if we go down. Players all seem to respect him so he can ask for one last fight to get us into the Prem for a new manager to come in.

I have to say that if Tony Pulis was ever going to be City manager,it would have happened when he effectively touted himself fir the job before Neil Warnock arrived. I think a lot of us were both asking and expecting it

Clearly history now shows the right decision was made at that time and personally I any see Pulis being Warnock's preferred option, if he is to have a say in the matter

I do wonder if people have actually watched Boro and Pulis this season. They've been awful to watch and should be doing a lot better with the players they have. Pulis football makes Warnock's style of football look like Guardiola.

True, but then I'm not really sure why he would question if he staying or not. If asker just say yes I'm contacted.

Dunno maybe your right just got a gut instinct he may leave.

Re: NEIL WARNOCK PREPARED TO LEAVE CARDIFF IF TAN / DALMAN &

Mon Apr 29, 2019 4:49 pm

For me, I want him to stay next season and I think he will but don’t be fooled that the money men at the club are happy with some of his signings.
If he gets us up next season I would like him to step aside.
