An interestin​g insight from 'The Gaffer'.

Warnock's book is brilliant and I doubt enyone, ahvign read it, would not actually have an admiration for the guy.

He's also been very good and very honest as a guest presenter on Talkshite over the last few months

[supertom]

I don't mind Warnock. He's a bit of a rent-a-gob at times but he seems honest enough.

[eamonn]

The Becchio situation he talks of is the Jan transfer window just gone, right?

It's got to be recent because he talks of Hughton at Norwich.

Telling his players to get deliberately sent off in the hope of having a match abandoned?

Honest?

Ha ha. As the day is long.

I dont mind him - his players always seemed to give everything in every game. I remember Sheff U beating us in the Cup in 2005 and they simply wanted it more than we did. His Palace team nearly did for us in the Cup in 2010 as well. Always had a sneaky admiration for him.

such fun and games. I remember Doug saying that he had agreed with another chairman (can't remember know) that they would both offer the exact same fee for Alan Thompson. Then when the other guy refused to budge he offered more and got him in. Cheeky devil that Doug!

I may have a look at downloading this as well. Only trouble I just where do I look....

I think it was Ridsdale at Leeds. Doug and Ridsdale agreed on the same offer for Thomson and said they would not enter a bidding war and would simply let the player decide which offer he would accept.

Doug then went back with an extra 50k over the weekend and we got Tommo.

Causing a riot too.

Add to that telling one of his own players to break the leg of an opposition player and his incessant moaning about match officials every bastard game. I'd say football won't miss him.

His stock seems to have fallen enough that even middling Championship clubs won't take a punt on him now, so he's redefining himself as some sort of honest, straight talking ex-manager.  He's an arse.

I'd completely forgotten about Thompson. Thought he'd be a decent signing at the time and expected half a dozen thunderbolts a season.

Good read that. Shows how frustrating management must be. He's a charmless individual but he came across well in that eye opening documentary about QPR from a couple of years ago.

I've liked him since he spoke well of us after we beat his Sheff U 3-0.

I don't think that it was Leeds. That doesn't ring a bell.

[peter w]

Leeds does ring a bell. If he never played for them then the thought of him in a Leeds shirt must have come from this.

[TheSandman]

Wasn't he a coach at Leeds?
