Neil Warnock discusses heading to Sheffield Wednesday, his promotion ambitions with Cardiff and his passion for the Sky Bet Championship... Neil Warnock is not one for long-term plans. Even an FA Cup clash with Manchester City next weekend is just a distant blip on his horizon as the Cardiff boss prepares for a trip to Sheffield Wednesday - a place where he always gets quite the reception. "Sheffield Wednesday is always my biggest game of the season, wherever I am. It's always really special and I'm looking forward to it," he told Sky Sports News ahead of the match on Saturday, which is live on Sky Sports Football and Main Event from 5.15pm. "I always get what some would call a rousing welcome! When I get off the bus it's quite special and I do enjoy it, I like them to wait and get that venom bubbling up inside them, then I get off." The 69-year-old is never one to take life too seriously, however, and with his advancing years comes an increasing sense of perspective. Warnock is determined to enjoy every minute of however long he has left in management, even if it's abuse from a rival set of fans when he steps off a bus. "They're good people there," he continued. "Yes, they give me stick like nothing on earth but it's all friendly and I do like walking in there and seeing some of the young lads and their dads wearing blue and white scarves. "I always have a chat with one or two and that's how football should be. It's gone so far the other way that people get off the bus with their headphones and go straight into the dressing room, never talking to the supporters or having a laugh. There's nothing wrong with a bit of humour and that's why I'm still in the game because I enjoy those times." But why the hate? It's simple really. Warnock is a boyhood Sheffield United fan and also took the Blades into the Premier League as a manager. He did, however, spend some time at Hillsborough as a child, and he loved the game then just as much as he does now. "I remember when I was a kid I went with my sister, who was a 'Wednesdayite', and stood on the Kop with all the Wednesday fans in the floodlights," he reminisced. "It was an amazing experience and it's a pity you can't mix supporters nowadays. It was always good when you had a spat with a rival supporter stood right next to them." Back to the present day and Warnock is in the midst of a battle in the Sky Bet Championship with Cardiff, as he targets an eighth promotion of his managerial career. The Bluebirds were right up there near Wolves until the festive period, but four defeats on the spin saw them drop right back into the play-off mix.
stop posting stuff about warnock! he sounds too reasonable and i don't want to start liking him, because then i'll hate myself.
y'know ... folks are always saying how Rhodes is sure to get the job done at this level if only he gets the service. But I've got to say, that is very typical of what I've seen from him at Wednesday. Sure, there's not tons of service, but he always seems to get his chances, and he almost never converts. I hate saying that, as I've always liked him and wanted him at Wednesday; but it's just not working for him at Hillsborough, is it?
real end-to-end stuff in the kids' game on the northeast corner of the pitch. Ozzie Owl with a last ditch clearance off the line! Ozzie and Baz looking a bit static out there ... but they come through in the clutch!
