Neil Warnock: "I've never been in a worse situation"
Neil Warnock has claimed he has never been in a worse situation than the one he finds himself in at relegation-threatened Huddersfield Town.
Warnock is a firefighter manager who is always tasked with coming in to rescue clubs in peril, but even he was candid about the bleakness of the task which faces him right now.
After winning the first game as Terriers boss, Warnock, who some wanted back at Cardiff before Sabri Lamouchi's appointment, has lost the last two matches 4-0.
Ahead of tonight's clash with Bristol City, with whom he famously has a strained relationship, shall we say, the Terriers sit seven points adrift of safety.
Speaking about the match, he said: "One or two fans must have been thinking they wish I'd go back to Cornwall after that result. We are seven points adrift of safety with a horrendous fixture list.
"I have probably never been in a worse situation than this. But I am enjoying it and think I am the best man for the job.
"If [tonight] is a bit tasty with the Bristol City fans that's great, isn't it?
"My reputation won't be tainted by a relegation because everyone knows the position we're in but we need to ruffle some feathers. We can decide who goes up and who gets relegated. I've always wanted to be a thorn in the sides and that's what I want to be."
Another relegation-threatened side is also in action tonight, with Wigan taking on West Brom at The Hawthorns.
