ScottishRed Posted June 7, 2023 Share Posted June 7, 2023 I think regardless of any other factors, the bloke really loves the game and despite his age he misses it too much to retire. There is always a danger of tainting your legacy, and he does have one, but I wish him well. Except when they play us obviously. 16 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bcfcredandwhite Posted June 7, 2023 Share Posted June 7, 2023 He must have a cast iron heart and lungs. At his age doing what is one of the most stressful jobs out there is no mean feat. I personally have nothing but respect for the guy. He’s on my (very small) bucket list of football people to have a beer with and a chat about the beautiful game. 9 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Popodopolous Posted September 16, 2023 Share Posted September 16, 2023 2 wins now, vs West Brom away and Rotherham at home albeit not necessarily high fliers.

BS4 on Tour... Posted September 18, 2023 Share Posted September 18, 2023 Legendary manager - record number of promotions on his CV that probably won’t be surpassed - incredible ability - eg, took over as Cardiff manager when they were in the relegation places in the championship - took them to a top ten finish that season then promoted them to the premier league the season after. Anyone who doubts his ability in the championship clearly doesn’t know what it takes ... I’ve always said, he ain’t a premier league manager, but if you want to get there, employ him ... Lansdown’s apparently petty dislike of him may well have cost us serious progress - make no mistake, Neil Warnock is a born winner, and the most successful manager ever, in terms of promotions ... 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Popodopolous Posted September 18, 2023 Share Posted September 18, 2023 (edited) He did an impressive job at Cardiff and has been a strong manager, great at this level but they were still in receipt of Year 3, and latterly 4th and final year of Parachute Payments when he was there. These were lower then but that made a poor situation still able to be salvaged. Think Huddersfield are making a mistake though but it's the new owners prerogative.

sglosbcfc Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 Aberdeen fans genuinely excited about his appointment. His first game....the small matter of Rangers at Ibrox on Tuesday night. I wouldn't put it past him getting the Dons a top 4 finish and winning the Scottish Cup. If he achieved that he'd have the job longer term if he wanted it.
