Re: Neil Warnock
This would be his 17th different club as a manager I think- he's managed at least a couple of those twice too.
I've got to admire his work ethic. he's a year older than me and I've been (happily) retired for 13 years now. He must really love being involved in football, seems like an addiction almost.

As far away from the wife as he can get almost in British football

Re: Neil Warnock
Colin’s last couple of great escapes with Hudds and Rotherham were superb efforts . He knows how to shake things up ,motivate players and instill a real backs to the wall mentality. Could probs even keep us up !

Pittodrie is next to the North Sea and the coldest ground I've ever been on including the Turf on a snowy February mid week ;when even several Bene and Hots can't penatrate the permafrost in my feet.

Re: Neil Warnock
He has a house in Scotland, not sure where, but he said he has always wanted to manage in Scotland so he has more time to play golf.

Re: Neil Warnock
Seems a very odd appointment to me. You would have thought that they would be looking for someone more long-term. They aren't likely to get relegated this season, and I think they've had 3 managers in the past 3 years.
I would have expected a more long term plan and youth development rather than a "quick fix".

Re: Neil Warnock
im afraid I have joined the love him brigade,I used to hate the clown. But I could listen to his stories all day real character. Also probably up there with the best managers of all time in the football league (not prem).

Re: Neil Warnock
This is the reason for the Warnock appointment, they need someone temporary as the club have a full review of all football operations and prepare to hire a long term target in the summer, rumours they want Neil Lennon but he is currently interviewing for the Republic of Ireland job.nil_desperandum wrote: ↑Mon Feb 05, 2024 5:10 pmSeems a very odd appointment to me.

Re: Neil Warnock
I think he’ll do well there. Apparently Aberdeen have played very well at Rangers tonight.
Re: Neil Warnock
Good old Colin. What a character. He’ll have plenty of time to play on the old Trump international course aswell.
Re: Neil Warnock
Hes crafted out a brilliant role for himself. 4 or 5 months of work a year with no need to do the long hours scouting or planning for the future etc
I suspect Big Sam is hoping for similar to end his career.
They can basically live off a new manager bounce for a living. Genius

He's got a house near Dunoon, which is a decent trek from Aberdeen with it being west of Glasgow, plus a hop on a boat.claretburns wrote: ↑Mon Feb 05, 2024 1:28 pmHe has a house in Scotland, not sure where, but he said he has always wanted to manage in Scotland so he has more time to play golf.

Re: Neil Warnock
What was the beef between him and Stan all about?
I vaguely recall it and seem to remember at the time thinking it was Stan who was being the jerk (but stand to be corrected on this).

True but if you pick your club intelligently then just getting a team well organised will give the temporary bounce they are after.

Re: Neil Warnock
Neil Warnock, who stepped down after today's win over Kilmarnock: "I've told them they need to get a manager in to look at the squad because I think it needs quite an overhaul in the summer.
"If anything, I've contributed to making them realise and get a move on. They're very close down the line to get someone in now.
"I've met some great people. I'm just glad I got to a semi-final so the fans have something to look forward to. There's some keyboard warriors, but that's everywhere."
"I wanted to come up here and it has been a bit of a eye opener for me. I wish I had been here a year and had a couple of transfer windows."

Although Stans book has plenty of fiction, I think this story is fact. I’ve heard more than one player confirm what went on that day in a few different podcasts. Warnock isn’t averse to gamesmanship, and stans not averse to nutting people.
They are both as bad, and good, as each other

i think it was when Warnock took over from Stan at Bury and NW made a few comments about the previous regime and he dismantled the squad then got them relegatedStayingDown4Ever wrote: ↑Wed Feb 07, 2024 2:35 pmWhat was the beef between him and Stan all about?

Re: Neil Warnock
It’s getting a bit of a circus now with Warnock. Done some cracking jobs but I think it’s time to bow out. He seems to be playing up to the ‘coming out of retirement’,’only works from February’ and ‘permission from the wife’ too much in interviews. That would have annoyed me if I was an Aberdeen fan.

So setting your wife on fire is in any way acceptable is it?

Did you see him taking the plaudits for his Horizon computer joke the other week?
Re: Neil Warnock
He just gets his teams to do the basics and hopes that combined with his personality will give them a short term boost. It usually works.
Hes basjcally a specialist caretaker manager now. Im surprised Big Sam doesnt do it
