The future's bright, the future's Warnock!

A couple of quotes this morning from our manager. First hint of what might be........


"I do still get the buzz and I owe that to Sharon, my wife. With the medical problems that she had that brought a lot of things into perspective, but the Cardiff fans have been fantastic, I got my zest back and my passion and I didn't think I could get that really.

"This is the pinnacle for me. Cardiff's such a big club and I don't think even Cardiff realise how big a club they could be."


"I think it's great for me to be involved and I hope I'm involved for many years," he added. "Because I still think there'll be a role for me when management's finished. My experience is vital and this club is so special."

Yessssss! I did think that he would go end of season if not promoted

The longer he stays the better

Great news. I think that the way he manages Tan is brilliant and he needs to be kept on at the club when he retires from management, possibly in a General Manager/Director of Football or whatever you want to call it role, acting as a link between the board and the coaching staff. I did wonder if he wanted something longer term at City because he has completely reinvented our Academy setup as well as improving the first team and you wouldn't do that if you were here to get a quick promotion and leave.

This sounds great and I do hope he means it. The key is that he has built good relationships with the board, the fans, the local community and seemingly the players - not bad for a belligerent old Yorkshireman! But again, he's been in the game a long time and there's a reason for that and it's starting to show at City too. Even if results on the pitch don't end up going our way, with what he's achieved already, I do hope he stays on at the club in some capacity.

To put a dampener on things, off to a bad start and it won't be long before the knives are out.

Let's hope that's not the case.
