NEIL WARNOCK: BEST VALUE FOR MONEY MANAGER OUT THERE?

Here's a question asked of me by my good friend Marc before yesterday's game versus Middlesbrough:


Sunday 18th February 2018


"In this age of £100m+ transfer fees (£10m+ in the Championship) what is the most Neil Warnock has paid for a player in his whole managerial career?"

I don't know but looking at the available figures, it may be that our own Gary Madine could well be that man, if the transfer figure alluded to is correct!

Marc had a look into this after the game yesterday and he doesn't think Neil Warnock has spent more than £10 mill on a player and reckons it is well under £10m

On investigation, Marc found an article written in 2016 where Neil Warnock said his most expensive signing for Crystal Palace was £5.5m for James McArthur (from Wigan to Crystal Palace) so does that mean that Gary Madine at £6m from Bolton is the most that Warnock has paid for a player in his management career?

If that were the case, then that (for me) is remarkable given his longevity and success in the game, which included managing in the Premier League and given the amounts other managers have spent trying to get success!


Anybody know of any more expensive players that he has signed?

Great manager with money.

If we go up and Tan gives him £30 million he will build a side capable of staying up that will be worth 5 times that within a season.

Neil Warnock claims recent transfer fees are 'scandalous'
August 11 2016 12:06 PM

Neil Warnock expects transfer fees to continue to rise and claimed some sky-high prices are "scandalous".

The former Crystal Palace boss feels even Championship transfers are getting out of hand in the wake of Manchester United spending a world-record £89million to bring Paul Pogba back to the club from Juventus.

Manchester City made John Stones the most expensive ever defender when they paid Everton £47.5million this week, while the average Premier League transfer now costs over £10million.

Warnock's biggest buy at Palace was £5.5million on James McArthur from Wigan in 2014 and he believes there is no stopping the inflation of fees.

"It's bound to do because of the money the Premier League is generating," said the ex-Sheffield United manager.

"You talk to some of the players and the money they are going for is scandalous. No disrespect to the likes of Ross McCormack who I had at Leeds and has now gone to Villa but £14million is astronomical.

"I remember when Trevor Francis went for £1million which was unbelievable and now it's almost £100million.

"They will be paying £500,000 a week soon to (Lionel) Messi or someone. These people who spend the money don't do it willy-nilly though, they have strategies about what this player could earn them off the field as well as on the field.

"But I'm not saying they'll be worth it because they are only human and can get bad injuries."

The 67-year-old is out of work since leaving Rotherham in the summer having saved the Millers from relegation in the Sky Bet Championship after taking over when they were three points from safety in February.

He would welcome the chance to answer an SOS call from Hull, although the Tigers look like appointing caretaker manager Mike Phelan, but expects to return to football this season.

He said: "I would manage Hull tomorrow. Hull is in the Yorkshire area, the fans appreciate hard work and they have a decent squad. They have had a few problems with injuries but I would guess they have someone already lined up because you can't be leaving it much longer.

"I'll go somewhere this season. They don't come knocking until they are struggling. I usually get the job when others get the sack."

Warnock was speaking at the launch of TalkTalk's Armchair Managers Association where he gives advice to fans on how to cope with the new Premier League season, which starts on Saturday.

He said: "To be an armchair manager is not too dissimilar to what I do when I'm on the bench. I watched a game with a mate of mine last season and it made me laugh, I told him what I did and had my omelette at 9am in the morning because i couldn't eat after 10am as I got too nervous and he was exactly the same."

Great manager with money.

If we go up and Tan gives him £30 million he will build a side capable of staying up that will be worth 5 times that within a season.

Hoping he won’t be here if we go up really

That’s gratitude.

I don't recall that being the question!

No room for sentiment in football man. He’s already stated he doesn’t fancy it up there, give him a good send off and get in someone who does

I think he will fancy it.

Just because Malky messed up so badly when we went up we have to give NW a chance.

Don’t get me wrong I’d love to have him as our manager, but if he’s saying he’s not sure now, might as well make the change early to give a new manager chance to do what he needs to do

I think if you look closely at what he said its owners who listens to players grumbling and shit stirring agents.A pop at Fernandes of QPR methinks.If Mr Tan doesn't trust Warnock now he never will.I just wish the guy was 20yrs younger.

Let’s change our manager now then.

I can see what you are saying but I think he has said he doesn’t like the Premiership per se but I reckon he might fancy it with us. He has unfinished business.

If you see what I’m saying no need for the “let’s change now” comment

Look, Warnock is by far the best manager we’ve had not in terms of what he’s done for us but through his whole career. He’s fantastic here and has really done something very few managers would have been able to do.

But he’s 70 next season, and I’m not sure premier league football is for him.


A lot depends on his own personal views and we aren’t even up so this whole convo is irrelevant but mark Hughes is still available if needed

Please not Hughes.

I’m not a big fan of him personally myself. But someone of that mound, he’s managed for years with many different premier league clubs . There isn’t much to argue about in terms of his premier league pedigree

So, now Paul_h has gone to bed and we can get back on topic, does anyone know what is the most Neil Warnock has paid for a player in his whole managerial career?

You’re obsessed with me Sven.

And I wasn’t the person who deviated if you read up, you’ll see someone talking about how he might do next season.

Stop changing the subject Paul

Here's a question asked of me by my good friend Marc before yesterday's game versus Middlesbrough:

Thats unbelievable Chris, Warnock has always been careful with money, best manager outside the Premier League


And i have been continually told it was £2mill upfront with £4mill add ons etc

Thanks, Annis. That makes it James McArthur for £5.5m and that's incredible for the success he's had!

Really is only one Neil Warnock!
