Neil Warnock said he was:

Neil Warnock said he was "touched" by the reception he received from Cardiff City fans during his one-man show at St David's Hall on Tuesday night, Are You With Me?

Warnock regaled fans with stories from his time at Cardiff and throughout his managerial career and even finished the set off with a poem he had written. He did the ayatollah and his arm-whirling celebration which became so synonymous with his time with the club.

He was also joined by some special guests on stage - Sol Bamba and City captain Joe Ralls joined their old boss for a section of the performance - but the Bluebirds fans who turned out in numbers made it particularly special for him.



NEIL WARNOCK:


"I couldn't actually believe it," he told the BBC of the reception he received. "I got on really well when I was down here and you couldn't actually take the memories away from us.”



"We had a great time and it was good to come back and go back in time, talk about the good times and the bad times. When you retire after so long, it is a bit empty and this has given me purpose.

"To see the fans like they were, they stayed until the end... I never got that reception when I managed here!"

He added: "What a tremendous reception that was. I was really touched at times tonight, especially at the end. I was (choked up). It was difficult to hold back tonight.

"It gave me an opportunity to thank them."



His show goes to Sheffield (Sept 16), Huddersfield (Sept 23), Plymouth (Oct 28), Middlesbrough (Nov 18) and Scarborough (Nov 19).

Absolute legend for us.
Yes made mistakes but got us from relegation fodder to the Prem….that’s enough for me.

Loved the show last night and love Warnock a great manager and got our club from the lowest I have ever seen the club not in leagues just the whole atmosphere at the club was terrible and relegation staring us in the face doomed we were

In comes Warnock and changed it almost after 1 game against the worzels slowly he got the supporters together the atmosphere good and saved us my beloved Cardiff city was back

The following season takes us the Prem. Thank you Neil Warnock one of the best managers ever

Probably our best ever manager!!

Performed a miracle to get us promoted. In hindsight he should have stepped down after we were relegated

Proper old school character

One of British footballs great characters who put a big smile on the faces of Cardiff City fans for a while.
Let's face it, not too many have done that!

Gutted to not make it last night NW will always be one of my fav ever city managers.

On a separate note, what did Rallys have to say? Anything on the current set up?

Sir Neil Warnock will always be held as the best Manager that I have had the privilege to witness in my 40 years plus of supporting our beloved club.

For those with short memories, he dragged us off our ass, and likely relegation back towards the dungeons, and secured survival.

Hence, he then went on to get us back to the Premier League against all expectations.

For me he is the best Manager I have known, reinvigorated the players, reinvigorated the Owners and last but not least reinvigorated us fans.

Great Championship manager but out of his depth in player recruitment and coaching in the premiership. Never forgot Fulham away when if we had won we would have had a great chance of staying up at the end of the season. Dreadful all game till relegated Fulham scored late and then we tried to get back into the game, and failed. We should have given him a big bonus and said goodbye. We would be like Southampton and Brighton in the premiership today, if we had.

Noel Warnock, only says what he thinks people want to hear.

Great night's entertainment. He will always have a special relationship here. Yes, he may have lost us money,& made mistakes, but who can deny him pulling us up from where we were, to just failing to stay in the Prem. all within 18 months. On the topic of Ralls, He was very quiet, which worries me as he is our captain, Bamba being the main talker when the two of them came on. Ralls is either a very quiet individual, or he was overawed by the occasion. Either way it worries me.
