Bluebird Hewitt Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 For this season at least. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/48272656 Happy with that. Was hoping that he'd stay at least this season and give it a shot at going straight back up. Hopefully he'll help in a possible successor for the long term as well.

Administrator Stan Posted May 14, 2019 Administrator Share Posted May 14, 2019 Good luck to him and good luck in going for promotion next season @Bluebird Hewitt I used to despise Neil Warnock just because he'd moan at literally anything even if it was so blatant that the opposite to his view had happened. Nowadays though he seems to just take things in his stride and just enjoy things for the moment where he can. Occasionally getting angry (rightly so at times this season) but it seems as if he's not taking anything so seriously these days and he's a bit more restrained. He's more tolerable now!

Smiley Culture Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 Think he’s done his reputation a world of good this season, with how he’s handled everything that’s happened at Cardiff and how he’s seemed quite jovial and happy in interviews. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree. A few years ago he would have barely lasted the season. From what he says it seems his family are settled and happy in Cardiff and so is he.

Hugh Stanley Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 Pity all Cardiff City fans. Neil is well psst his sell-by date and I believe will struggle to have an impact with The Bluebirds this term. Think they need some fresh ideas and a new direction.

Yeah, this transfer window wasn't the best and our performances have been very poor. If he leaves as expected by the end of the season, I'd like to hope we go for someone as you mentioned. Who that could be is anyone's guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber CaaC (John)+ Posted November 11, 2019 Subscriber Share Posted November 11, 2019 Edit: @Bluebird Hewitt, any thoughts? Neil Warnock: Manager leaves Cardiff City Cardiff City have parted company with manager Neil Warnock. The 70-year-old was in the final year of his contract at the Championship side and has said he would not carry on beyond the end of this season. He was appointed in October 2016 and leaves with Cardiff 14th in the table after Sunday's loss to Bristol City. "I am leaving my beloved Bluebirds after over three years of which have been some of the best days in my long football career," Warnock said. "It is a shared belief that this is the right time for a new voice as we believe this squad of players is more than capable of getting success." Cardiff have begun the search for a replacement and an announcement "will be made in due course". FULL REPORT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber Dan+ Posted November 11, 2019 Subscriber Share Posted November 11, 2019 It's a shame but looks like the right move from the outside - I feel like it's kind of the natural conclusion to come from what's panned out. It's no slant on either the club or manager. I'd imagine they as a squad, fanbase and Warnock as a manager are all mentally drained. They over-achieved to get promoted, it's very hard to motivate that again especially with the manner they went down and the circumstances that surrounded it. Genuinely really wanted them to stay up last year and I was taught to hate Warnock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucas Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 Its a good move for all parties. Let's be frank. Warnock massively overachieved two season's ago. One of the worst sides I saw get promoted but that was down to the team spirit he created. He did well. They struggled in the PL and they are struggling now. Without a change, I don't see them as any threat in the promotion race. So they have to make a move. They need a change. They need to play some better football and look to someone who can kick them on now. The only thing I would say is I'm not sure who that person will be. If I had to make a punt right now, Chris Hughton fits that Cardiff style of being tough to beat. He's obviously free. But a real outsider could be someone like Craig Bellamy. Cardiff boy, would he be up for the challenge? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I quite like Bellamy really. Reminds me a bit of Vardy. Straight talker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rovers had words with him before we hired Owen Coyle back in 2016, it's heartbreaking to think what could have been. We can only dream these days, we're absolutely certain to end up with Steve Coppell or Keith Curle next time round. Can't honestly see where he goes next. No vacancies I can think of , and aside from Woodgate at Boro I honestly can't think of another Championship manager of a decent side in any genuine danger at the minute.

He will want to end on a high is possible. Therefore, I wouldn't rule out one last 'salvage' job somewhere. Be that a relegation fight or someone fighting for promotion if the right opportunity came up. Could end up at somewhere like Portsmouth for example. He'd love one last promotion wouldn't he the wiley old fox. He isn't stupid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 Neil Warnock said in September 2007 "This will be my last job". I wouldn't believe a word he says. I wonder what's next for Cardiff City. I don't think it's the right time to introduce a former player even though they have a couple who may feel ready for management at Cardiff (Harris, Bellamy, Earnshaw, Hudson etc). Theres a couple of experienced Welsh heads from the Neil Warnock school of thought that may be better suited (Hughes and Pulis). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
