Warnock leaves Cardiff

It was probably a mistake to carry on after last season. It was common knowledge that this would be his final season and maybe players on longer contracts don't have the same 'spark' if they know someone else will determine their future. The same thing seemed to affect Martin O'Neill at Forest, who also let it be known that he was only there for a limited time.

What a managerial career though. Warnock maybe wasn't liked by everyone in the game, but anyone who didn't respect his ability and achievements must be a fool. He'll always be welcome at Meadow Lane.

Other than Sir Jimmy the best manager at Notts since I supported the club in terms of getting silk purse from sows ear and motivation plus of course promotions.

Warnock is a legend. One of the last of a dying breed. He consistently managed to get more out of average teams than pretty much any other manager could, despite football changing around him. In fact, I can't think of another manager who has so consistently had a positive impact on teams over such a long period of time. How many promotions? How many teams did he get into the top flight? Crazy really.

Warnock's record speaks for itself. A great career as a manager and his two Notts Wembley play-off triumphs are up there with my best Notts memories.

I thought the last entry was a joke but apparently, according to Wiki, "The Yorkshire Electricity Cup was a short-lived pre-season tournament featuring football teams from around Yorkshire and ran from 1990 to 1995."

What those stats prove is he knew/knows how to get the best out of players. Only 31 yrs old when he took over at Scarborough, nearly 33 years and 1500 games later and an overall win ratio of more than 40% is quite impressive.

I'd say it's very impressive!

I recently read "Be Careful What You Wish For", Simon Jordan's autobiography in which he tells how he made his fortune and then lost most of it by buying and running Crystal Palace. I've always liked Neil Warnock and I was so pleased that he was pretty much the only person in the whole story to come across as being a straightforward, decent person. Some of the rest are enough to put you off football for life!

BTW, Alan Hardy would have done well to have read it before starting on his Notts adventure.

I have a feeling this wont be the last football club he manages.
