Warnock Best British Manager

Sun Oct 21, 2018 9:02 pm

I'm going to keep this brief, we should not be in the Premiership. We are only here because of Warnock and the trash I've been reading on this forum recently from negative fans is beyond belief. Sit back and remember we were close to relagation when Warnock took over. We owe this man a lot and if we do mange to stay up this year he will be the greatest Cardiff manager in our history. I honestly believe Warnock should be managing a top 4 team.

No he wont no manager in our history has come remotely near achieving what Fred Stewart did.

Not yet.
I agree with the original poster, although it's not Sir Neil's style to manage teams like the top six.
I'd certainly have appointed him as England manager because he's good at getting the very best out of good players who maybe aren't quite as good as some world beaters and going as far as possible to making up that difference

He's a manager who suffers from the media who are obsessed with foreign everything. We play very similar football to say for instance what Atletico Madrid do.

Look at Diego Simeone. Plays 4-4-2 or 4-4-1-1 tactics to great effect. Comes across on touchline with the same aura as Warnock and he makes players run through brick walls and achieve well beyond their means.

Because Simeone is Argentinian, it is over-looked that he plays a 4-4-2 and a big man/little man partnership up top... Because he's foreign he must be doing something far sexier than a British coach could do.

Would I say he's the best British manager currently in a job? Well he's only competing with Eddie Howe for that crown. Honestly I'd say he's second to Howe at the moment. Although I feel it's a crying shame Neil has been discriminated against throughout his career and not given the chance at a top club.

What I love about the players he has signed this summer is that they are players that can change our mid-to-long-term philosophy at the club and he is not just buying players for himself.

Sean Dyche has to be the top coach at the moment because like Warnock he is working with what he has got and hasn't been given a massive war chest.

Eddie Howe is a very good coach/manager but has had the advantage of an open cheque book from the owner. One day that will stop and we will then see how really good he is.

Completely correct but name a British manager who hasn't failed. What he's done at Bournemouth and continuing to do is fantastic

I think Warnock was the perfect fit for us.....but Eddie Howe has won 3 promotions and already managed in more premier league games than NW at just 40 years of age...

Don't know why the obsession with foreign managers. Probably because so many owners are foreign. We dominated European competitions for quite a few years with British managers. In my opinion the top managers of all time that immediately spring to mind are the likes of Alf Ramsey, Joe Fagin, Bill Shankly, Brian Clough, Bob Paisley, Alex Ferguson and more. Seems to me like there is no place for British managers at the top table in the modern game, and I wonder how those top British managers would have done if they were born a couple of decades later.

I think at the moment he’s even behind two Welsh Managers Pullis and Hughes who have never been relegated but if he keeps us in the Premier League in his final two years he will be definitely our best Manager since Fred Stewart?

Mark Hughes left QPR and Stoke in a very poor state and tends to leave clubs in the lerch with expensive prima-donnas...

In terms of style of football I honestly think Warnock trumps Pulis & Dyche... We play direct football but it produces shot after shot and real excitement

Re: Warnock Best British Manager

Thu Oct 25, 2018 7:31 pm

Hughes and Pulis have managed in Premier League for over 10years and never been relegated unlike the two clubs that sacked them last season Stoke and WBA. Hughes then kept Southampton up and Pulis will get Middlesbrough promoted this season.
Warnock needs to keep us in Premier League in his final two seasons to prove he can manage at this level ?
