Neil Warnock - Arrogant or Confident?

It appears that the man with the most unfortunate anagram in English football has an over inflated opinion of himself!! Conceited or Confident?

Cardiff City boss Neil Warnock says he did not consider Wigan Athletic to be a “threat” once they appointed Warren Joyce as manager in November.

Former Manchester United Under-21 boss Joyce was sacked on Monday after only four months in charge of the Latics.

Warnock’s side are currently 13th in the Championship but were a point above the drop zone, and Wigan, in 21st when Joyce took charge.

“No disrespect but when Wigan appointed him, I was delighted,” Warnock said.

He added to BBC Radio Wales Sport: "I didn’t think they were going to be a threat to us.

“I like Warren but you can’t just put someone into the Championship who’s never been there - it’s nothing like youth football.”

Warnock recently signed a contract extension to stay as Bluebirds’ manager until the end of 2017-18, but is confident about his position because of a lack of managerial talent elsewhere.

“I’m in a unique situation for a manager because I’m not bothered if I get the sack - they can sack me tomorrow if they want,” he said.

"If I want another job, I can get another job. That’s not being conceited, I just don’t see many good managers around.

“There used to be hundreds, you could name them all but the Championship is not like any other league.”

I think the word “twat” sums him up nicely.

When the whole valley is full of smoke, there’s a pretty good chance that even if you can’t see one, there’s a fire out there somewhere.

I’ve never met Warnock but as football is full of people who think he’s a complete tosser, there’s a pretty good chance that he is.

I can’t see it happening, but wouldnt it be great if football clubs stopped constantly employing managers who have failed and been sacked dozens of times before, and started to take chances on fresh blood? Sadly he is right, there will always be a job for twats like him, but God knows why.

He seems to be good at keeping teams in the Championship and occasionally getting them promoted to the Premier League.But he is total shite at the highest level.

He’s a bit of a dick but he’s probably right.
