Warnock

PauloMN

This guy is pathetic... blaming everyone but himself and his team.

Whatever players other managers decide to play is their business. Neil, your relegation is your problem, not anyone else's.

leninbenjamin

all i can say is good riddence. never liked the guy. team was pretty cack too, dunno how they ever managed to go 10 points clear of relegation.

PauloMN

I don't like seeing teams relegated, but over a whole season it's down to how the team and manager performs. I can't believe how childish Warnock is giving out about everyone but himself. At least most managers would have a bit of dignity and admit that relegation was down to poor performances and not picking up points when it mattered.

I'm no fan of Alex Ferguson but no way should he have to justify his team selection to the likes of Warnock. Even if he didn't have the FA Cup to consider, it's nobody else's business who he decides to field. Wish he'd told Warnock to go f**k himself, but I guess he's too much of a gentleman to do that.

That was more due to the absolute crapness of Watford, Charlton and West ham more than anything else, I would imagine that their combined points totals during the season were alot lower for the bottom three than normal. In most seasons I think they would have been right in the middle of a relegation battle the whole way through.

Combined total points for the bottom 3 teams.

06/07 - 100pts.

05/06 - 79pts. (Mainly due to Sunderland getting an all time record low of 15pts. for the season)

04/05 - 98pts.

03/04 - 99pts.

02/03 - 87 (Again, honours go to Sunderland for only managing a points tally of 19 for the season)

01/02 - 94pts.

00/01 - 94pts.

So it actually looks as if their combined total has been the best for the last 5 years or so.

I won't be too sorry to see him go. I was quite hoping Wigan would get relegated though, there are much bigger clubs in the Championship and Paul Jewell is extremely tiresome. Mind you there are rumours that he's going to quit anyway so that'd be some consolation.

Fratton Fred

Steve Bruce used exactly the same excuses last year.:rolleyes:

Hmm it seems to be a pretty normal season points wise alright (nice homework btw). But it could have been substantially lower if west ham had not had the miracle recovery.

What I meant to say was that 9-10 games ago before the late West Ham charge the gap between the 18 - 19th placed sides and the sides from 17-15th or thereabouts would have been in the region of 7-8 points(disclaimer: these figures may in fact be complete crap)

I think in other seasons the gap from 19-15 would be in the region of 3-4 points, perhaps this gave sides like Fulham, Wigan and Sheff U a false sense of security.

Feeling better now that Paul Jewell has resigned? (He'll probably just end up at Bolton or somewhere though )

Warnock has some cheek to cricisise as he himself fielded a weaked team against man utd this year. what a twat!

do sheffield actaully have worse players to pick from ?

Kojak

No harm to see him go down. He was forever complaining that everyone was against Sheffielf United. :rolleyes:

He never seemed to want to admit that, maybe, they werent good enough.

Zaph

As a Leeds fan I've had an appalling season, but Warnock going down yesterday really cheered me up. The guy just spends all his time criticising other teams and managers. I'm sorry for the players (especially the two ex-Leeds guys, Hulse and Kilgallon), and I've nothing against the team as such, but this might put some manners on Colin.

zAbbo

Colin who ?

Royale with Cheese

Ah yes I was delighted to see the end of that twat Warnock yesterday.

I like many people had resigned myself to the fact that Sheff Utd would be staying up but turns out there is a God.

Anybody remember the games they played against Arsenal in the FA cup in the past few years? I've never seen a bigger moan in my life. Most managers will complain when decisions go against them but he just takes it to another level, and yeah it's pathetic the way he'll blame everyone but himself and his team. You didn't get the points and you went down. Deal with it.

Some genius figured out that an anagram of Neil Warnock is Colin W*nker, so he gets called Colin a lot these days.

Chucky the tree

Colin wont be missed at all. Always hated him. I dont think they will ever make it back to the premiership again, love it.


I thought at one stage i would definitly hav to put up with another year of him.

Cheeiro Colin.

Nice one

I'd hope if Sheffield United launch some sort of legal case that they never succeed at it. They werent good enough for the league, end of story. They hadn't the financial resources to compete and thus got relegated.

Hope we wont see Colin anytime soon.

flanzer

It's a pity that the interviewer didn't ask Colin if he'd had been in the same position as Liverpool and Utd, playing the the Champions League final and FA Cup final, would he play most of his reserves for fear his first choice might get injured? Good riddance Neil, we won't be lost without you!

x in the city

neil warnc0ck can take a hike,

he is not favoured amongst blues as you can see here

http://boards.rivals.net/default.asp?sid=887&p=16&style=1&forumId=3055&action=1&replytoid=2118438700

hope he enjoys trips to hull the twat.

PHB

I do think it's harsh, I think Fulham got really lucky, as I don't think they would have stayed up without those three points.
West Ham on the other hand, after United had won the trophy, no matter what players went out, the result could easily have ended up as it did.

I didn't see him complaining when Chelsea put out a weakened team against him before the FA Cup and CL matches.

GuanYin

Right, I have no problem with people having a go at someone on this forum. I've done it myself because there are alot of managers and players that annoy me.

BUT you should all know well that there is a difference between contextual criticism and outright abuse.

Anyone who has outright abused Warnock on this forum is on a 1 week ban.

From here on in, it will be two weeks.

smackbunnybaby

as a Sheffield Wednesday fan could I take this opportunity to welcome Colin and Co. to the Championship again.
Welcome back Lads, we missed you.



i must say i am happy with the teams that went down this year.
Charlton will come back a stronger team under pardew however.

Necronomicon

Well, if they were isolated comments yesterday I'd be inclined to not care, it was the heat of the moment and he's bound to be emotional after being relegated....

.....but it was incessant, every week. It was always something, some refereeing decision, some manager playing a weakened team that ultimately cost them. I said it in the match thread, I'm not sorry to see the back of him. They blew a 10 point cushion with only how much, 7 or 8 games to go? He should be asking more questions of himself than questions of referees and other managers. And, as someone else pointed out above, he himself fielded a weakened team against Man United a few weeks ago with the game against Charlton coming up.

You'd shed a little sympathy with the whole Tevez saga, but I really think first and foremost, they've been the architects of their own downfall.

I also don't remember mourinho moaning when Sheffield United put out a weakened team against Man United (Which is odd! )

David Unsworth....what a legend. Buy that man a large beer or a fizzy pop.

Seeing the Blunts get stuffed is great,
seeing them get stuffed in their own sty is great
seeing them get stuffed by one of their own...priceless

I also think Colin is a very nice man. He should be given a new extended 10 year contract. I think all the bitching about him on here is terrible, hes doing a great job, an ambassador for the city. Ask anyone in S6!

Warnock wants to stay in Premiership

That's all well and good Colin (best nickname ever) but nobody will have you. What has he achieved that would make him a worthy candidate for manager of a Premiership club?

He's delusional

smackbunnybaby

looking increasingly likely he is going to resign/has already

well bbc have it...

lets hope he doesnt take the man city job - the longer he stays out of the prem the better. even giles said he wont be missed...

thebaz

what i don't understand , is he said he resigned because he wants to stay in the premiership -- what premiership team apart from Wigan would appoint him ?

herbieflowers

Warnock sorta implied in his post-resignation interview that he had something lined up..."It will be strange taking over another club but it will be great for me to start again." Wouldn't be surprised if he ends up at Citeh...especially seeing as Houlier, van Gaal and Koeman have resisted advances so far...

Im_No_Superman

I would be amazed if he ended up at citeh, i know afew mangers have taken their name out fo the hat but i thought they were aiming there sights abit higher, surprised O'Leary hasnt been linked more the job to be honest.

herbieflowers

O'Leary ain't much better than Warnock tbh...! Depends on whether they get taken over and how much they have to spend...

Royale with Cheese

O'Leary also held the title of biggest moan in the premiership back when he had a job
