Title: 0% Villa - Warnock for the chop?
Post by: Ad@m on May 08, 2011, 09:57:43 PM
Like him or loathe him I find this absolutely astonishing.  His comments make it sound like the writing's on the wall.  How can that happen after winning the league within 14 months of taking over?!

Come on you know how this works. A good local coach works hard to get a club into reasonable shape and than the multi-billionaire owners go all hungry for overnight success and appoint Carlos Coachalotti or Jurgen Van der Trainer!

I can't read that link, but knowing warnock he could be angling for a new contract.

The Mintals who own most of the club are happy with him.

However I was reading an interview with Ecclestone and he says Flavio Briatore has an option to buy back a decent stake so you can see him trying to get a glamour manager.

I actually like Warnock. Might be in a minority but he'll be good value in the prem especially if Blackpool go down.

Neil Warnock uncertain about his future as QPR manager.

QPR manager Neil Warnock has admitted he does not know if he will be in charge of the club next season in the Premier League.

The club were handed the Championship title when the FA confirmed QPR would not be docked points for breaching transfer regulations on Saturday.

QPR vice-chairman Amit Bhatia has said Warnock's job is safe - but the 62-year-old remains cautious.

"I'm not totally confident - it's one of those things," said Warnock.

"I don't want to leave London and I will be disappointed. I'm sure my stock has not gone down - but anything is possible.

"I spoke to my two leaders Flavio [Briatore] and Bernie [Ecclestone] this morning and both wished me all the best. I hope my contract is watertight!"

QPR were three points off the relegation zone when Warnock signed a three-and-a-half year deal in March 2010, joining the Loftus Road club from Crystal Palace.

And 14 months on Warnock has led the club into the Premier League for the first time in 15 years after the FA lifted the threat of a significant points reduction regarding Argentine midfielder's Alejandro Faurlin's ownership during his 2009 transfer from Instituto.

That announcement at 1144BST on Saturday sparked huge scenes of celebration at Loftus Road, although the west London club have been fined £875,000 after being found guilty of two of the seven charges against them.

The independent tribunal had been scheduled to deliver its findings by 1600 BST on Friday but the verdict was delayed because of the weight of evidence.

Warnock hailed the resolve of his players after they were presented with the Championship trophy following their anti-climatic 2-1 defeat by Leeds.

"The lads have been through agony over the last seven weeks. We never planned anything with what has been hanging over our heads - but I think tonight we might celebrate."

And Warnock said his team have been rightly rewarded for their consistent performances, despite suffering only their second home defeat of the season against Leeds.

"How the players have coped has been amazing, Ali Faurlin in particular," Warnock told BBC Sport.

"To do what they have done this season has been absolutely incredible."

Warnock described his team's promotion as the "best moment" in his 32-year managerial career.

"To turn it around in 14 months is fantastic," he added.

"I brought a lot of players in, some players who thought they were finished, some who thought they would never get a chance of promotion.

"I told them from day one we have a hell of a chance if you stick with me.

"As a team we have entertained wherever we have gone, we have only been beaten six times this season and we have played some incredibly good football."[\quote]

Thanks Adam.

If they wanted to replace him, he wouldn't be unemployed for long. He could name his price to manage Leeds.

Warnock will replace Grant at West Ham

Would that be classed as ironic if West Ham, as is likely, are relegated?

I don't like the bloke but he has earned his chance.

He also looks like he is wearing a wig, but isn't and I find that really annoying.

Warnock has done a good job & doesn't deserve to be replaced.

I really like him. Then again I also really like Phil Brown.

I like Warnock too.  As I've said previously, anyone who winds up Smethwick fans and Gary Megson to such an extent can't be all bad.

Could you imagine Warnock as our manager, and giving our bunch of pansies a volley, half of them would go home and cry to there Mommies!!
