Agree with most of the above comments, a good Championship manager but unfortunately not up to Premier League level. Didn't like Pardew's snipe at him at all and considering we haven't won a league game since then it now looks especially foolish.
We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the drugs began to take hold... |

Good championship manager, out of his depth at Premier League level. Would have gone down with him no doubt. People are not seriously feeling nostalgic and wanting him back are they........? Pulis of the Championship. He did an amazing job for us with f**k all in resources. Not really premiership material now days, but I think he probably could have held his own in the 90s and early 00s and was robbed over West Ham Carlos Teveze affair.

As much as I enjoyed Warnock's first time at Palace (where he took us to the play-offs and lost), some fans seem to have selective memories and forget that he walked out on us when we were in admin. His reason? He didn't have the "stomach for a relegation fight", which is still a pile of BS to me. Nostalgia does that to a few fans who won't take off the rose-tinted specs. He just can't cut it in the Premier League. Had we have gone down with him still in charge, fans would probably still be singing his praises. Funny old world we live in, eh?

Don't really mind, the situation was pretty much on the wall that the new management would replace him I think, as he was very much Simon Jordans man, and there was no real certainty that the club would even continue. A man, or woman, has to look to his and his families interests first, not their employers. The same fans would have been screaming for him to be sacked if he stayed and lost six or seven in a row in September. Plus, he'd essentially put us into a very good position to stay up. Could you imagine though what Hillsborough D-Day would have been like, if Neil Warnock had been manager and we sent down Wednesday. That's the saddest thing about him leaving when he did. Had he stayed to the end of the season and sent down the Wednesdays.... They'd have burned half of Sheffield to the ground.

We needed the money at the time, and he still speaks highly of us, which is comforting.

Neil's a great guy, always talks fondly of us and praises the fans on talksport. He's got passion and fight, sometimes more than can be said of Pardew! Not tactically the greatest but again nor is Pardew. Pardew now looks a complete fool as he hasn't won since his nasty comments and is currently on a worse run than Neil. Karma is a bitch lol!!! I do miss Neil's interviews too, his constant use of the phrase "you know" always cracked me up. Good luck to him at Rotherham I used to cringe whenever he got near a microphone and bet half the players used to squirm when he put his arm round them and came out with some s*** joke which only he finds funny. Liked him the first time round and would certainly clap him if he's back at Selhurst - but just think if I was stuck in a room with him I'd have used up all my fake laughs within minutes..

I couldn't like/trust anyone who thought Neil Warnock as anything other than a self-aggrandising, annoying, superficial lower league manager who has been over-promoted too many times. He once turned down Chelsea too

He once turned down Chelsea too In fairness, that's generally a description of about all but six or seven managers in the premiership, and if you take out the phrase lower league, it describes all of them.

People saying Warnock is a crap manager ect are so disrespectful. When you have won as many promotions, matches ect as he has then step up and comment. My opinion of him is he is a good championship manager, it's his level as he has recently said himself. Out of his dept maybe in the PL. Although almost did keep Sheff Utd up a few years back had it not been for the whole Tevez & Mascherano debacle. Always like him, he's passionate and he always puts in a good word for us. The whole leaving us thing, he did it so we could get comp money from the move as him staying when it wasn't working wasn't doing us any favour. He could of quit then took the job (no fee involved).

Extends the non-losing streak to 5, after coming back from 3-0 down after 80 mins to 3-3 against Derby.

The championships 'Tony Pulis', but a lot more fun to boot. I don't think I've seen many more managers who are so much a 'fan' as Warnock. Half the time his interviews sound like a fan explaining the game in a pub before the booze takes hold. Him and Jordon were great for quotes and interviews.
