Neil Warnock on Ian Hume

Recommended Posts

I felt it would be impossible to hate this person any more than I do , but his response to Ian Hume being in Intensive care after a 'challenge' from Sheffield Utd's Chris Morgan has managed it.

 

The pictures show clearly that Morgan sees Hume coming to challenge him for an aerial ball and smashes the point of his elbow into Hume's temple.

 

Hume has ended up in hospital & while even Sheff Utd have stuck to wishing Hume well , Warnock has piled in with the usual platitudes ' Morgan is not a malicious player ' ' He's ran into his elbow !! ' & tries to blame Barnsley for being too slow to get him to hospital.

 

He truly is a despicable piece of shit.

This tit would come out and call his own mam a whore if it got his horrible fat head in the papers, what the fuck has it got to do with him anyway? Suprised he didn't somehow try to blame us though.

 

If Rafa didnt rotate, then Sheff Utd would still be in the Premier League. Warnock would still be the manager and Morgan would be a good little boy who wouldnt hurt a fly.

 

 

See, it was our fault.

I hate that Morgan, just a physical player with limited ability. As for Warnock what the fuck has it got to do with him. It is clear that Morgan saw Hume coming in and swung his elbow.

He is a cunt of a man,here is a list of just some of this assholes disputes.

 

Players

 

 

 

  • Peter Swan - A player for Warnock at Argyle and Bury, he called Warnock "a prick".[6]

 

  • Geoff Horsfield – Warnock told him he was unwanted after a permanent deal had been agreed to bring him to Sheffield United from West Bromwich Albion in a £1.2m deal, Warnock reportedly told him he didn't want him anywhere near Sheffield United and to go and train with West Brom.[7]

 

  • Stephen Hunt – After a recent match against Reading Warnock condemned the behaviour of the Royals' Stephen Hunt. He is said to have commented: "Hunt has proved on a few occasions that he's a clever type, and his challenge on Nick Montgomery earlier in the game wasn't clever either".[8]

 

  • Michael Johnson – In a 2005–06 Championship game with Derby County, Warnock reacted to a challenge by Johnson on Paul Ifill and was accused of playing a part in getting the opposition player sent off. This led to a face to face confrontation between the two and the Derby fans were incensed by Warnock's actions. Warnock asserted that the tackle was a bad one and that his reaction had made no difference to the outcome.[9]

 

  • Shefki Kuqi – During a 2007–08 Championship game with Wolves, Kuqi was spotted gesturing at Palace fans whilst being substituted. As a result, the Finnish international was transfer-listed and fined two weeks' wages, with Warnock stating "I will be transfer-listing him immediately. I don't accept things like that, so that is the end of the matter.".[10]

 

[edit] Managers

 

 

  • Gérard Houllier – See Stéphane Henchoz above. Also involved an argument about United's allegedly physical approach against Liverpool in the League Cup Semi Final 1st leg, a match in which Liverpool had 5 men cautioned to United's one.[11]
  • Phil Thompson – See Stéphane Henchoz above.
  • Gary Megson – Following allegations that Warnock tried to void a 2002 match by reducing his team to six players. For details of this match, see Battle of Bramall Lane. Warnock later commented he "wouldn't piss on him if he caught fire."

 

  • Stan Ternent – A longstanding feud. Most recently (2001) involved claims that Warnock sent an "emissary" to listen to tactical discussions.[12]
  • Mick Jones – A long-term assistant to Warnock, the pair did not speak for several years after Jones opted to remain at Plymouth Argyle as manager after Warnock was sacked, rather than follow him to Oldham Athletic.[13] They are now a managerial partnership again at Crystal Palace.[14]
  • Joe Kinnear – Kinnear remarked that Warnock was a 'prat' after a 1-1 draw between Sheffield United and Kinnear's Nottingham Forest in 2004-05. [15]
  • Kevin Blackwell – Warnock told the press that he wished he'd had the money to spend on players that Blackwell had in the season 2004-2005.[16] Blackwell had previously been Warnock's assistant at Sheffield United for several years and indeed Warnock helped Blackwell out for years, working with him at Scarborough, Huddersfield, Torquay, Plymouth et al. Another dispute occurred on 18 April 2006 in a match between Leeds United and Sheffield United at Bramall Lane when Warnock was sent from the touch-line after making a comment to Blackwell over a tackle by Gary Kelly on a Sheffield United player that Warnock deemed a bookable offence, and would have resulted in the Leeds player being sent off.[17]
  • Nigel Worthington – on 18 March 2006 Worthington apparently refused to shake hands with Warnock resulting in Warnock sticking two fingers up at him, an incident over which the FA charged Warnock with improper conduct.[18]
  • Wally Downes – On 20th January 2007, in a match against Reading, Keith Gillespie was sent off seconds after he came onto the pitch, for swiping Reading's Stephen Hunt in the face. After a protracted departure from the pitch, Warnock performed a stamping motion on the sideline directed towards referee Mark Halsey - referring to an earlier tackle made by Steve Sidwell which Warnock felt warranted a red card as well. Reading coach Wally Downes took exception to his actions, and pushed Warnock, who did not retaliate, causing a mass brawl on the sidelines. Both Warnock and Downes were sent to the stands as a result. Later Wally Downes admitted a misconduct charge to the FA,[19] was fined £2,000 and given a one-match touchline ban.
  • Gareth Southgate – Accused Southgate on Sky Sports News (shown 19 March 2007) of fielding a weaker starting XI against relegation-threatened Manchester City. Warnock claimed Southgate was "helping out" a friend, City manager Stuart Pearce.[20]
  • Rafael Benitez – Warnock has repeatedly voiced his dissatisfaction with the fact that Rafael Benitez fielded a weakened side against Fulham at the end of the 2006/2007 season (Liverpool FC at the time had nothing to play for in the Premier League). Warnock felt the resulting Fulham win caused Sheffield to be relegated to the Championship, even though Warnock himself subsequently failed to win Sheffield's final league game, which would have helped them stay up eventually. Even a year later, Warnock has failed to put the incident behind him and stated that "he wished that Benitez never won anything while at Liverpool"[21].

 

[edit] Referees

 

 

  • David Elleray – Warnock called him a "bald-headed bloke", whilst criticizing his decision making ability.[22]
  • Graham Poll – Following what Warnock believed to be a mistake by Poll which led to Arsenal scoring in the FA Cup semi-final in 2003.[23]
  • In a Sky Sports documentary, Warnock agreed to be filmed in a personal documentary about his life on and off the pitch. During a match at home to Ipswich Town, Warnock was seen to swear at and verbally abuse one of the assistant referees (also telling the then Ipswich manager that the assistant 'had been his best player'), perhaps revealing why Warnock is seen as one of the more controversial football managers in England. [24]
  • Richard Beeby – Warnock heavily criticised Beeby in February 2008 after he played on for longer than the designated added time at the end of a match between Bristol City and Palace, which led to Bristol City equalising 25 seconds after full-time should have been blown, even claiming Beeby celebrated City's equaliser.[25] Warnock was subsequently charged with "improper conduct" by the FA.[26] In response, he "admitted the charge and requested a personal hearing".[27] Warnock was subsequiently fined £2,000.

 

[edit] Fans

 

 

  • Nottingham Forest – Under Warnock's management, Notts County briefly rivalled the Reds (Nottingham Forest) in the early 1990s. Also, Warnock's subsequent team, Sheffield United, defeated Forest in a play-off semi-final in 2003.[28][29]

 

  • Leicester City – When Leicester restructured their debt after going into administration in 2002, they gained promotion to the Premiership, at the expense of Sheffield United, who had to make do with a play-off place. After United failed to gain promotion Warnock revealed his anger at the Leicester situation. Incensed that City could have got into such a state yet continued to compete at the top of the table, with no punishment, Warnock complained to the press, claiming United should have Leicester's place in the Premiership and the club should have been relegated or booted out the League. Any team now going into administration is automatically deducted 10 points, although even with this punishment Leicester would still have been two points clear of United.[30]

 

  • Sean Bean – In a recent tabloid serialisation of Warnock's autobiography, "Made In Sheffield", Warnock claims that minutes after the final game of the 2006-07 season Bean burst into his office, blaming Warnock for the team's relegation in a "foul-mouthed tirade" while Warnock's wife and daughter[31] were present. Bean denied this, calling Warnock "bitter" and "hypocritical", and arguing that he would never use such language in front of another man's wife and children.[32]

 

  • Bury – Warnock's reputation started poorly with Bury fans and finally was destroyed when he was seen applauding Bolton Wanderers' fourth goal in a cup tie. He had the accolade of receiving abuse from the whole stadium when Bury played away to Oldham Athletic where he was held in similar regard.[33]

 

  • Bristol City – Warnock claimed he was punched by a Bristol City fan, during chaotic scenes after Palace had been beaten by City in extra-time in the play-offs in 2008. Many City fans had great respect for Warnock however, after he shook the hand of their manager Gary Johnson before the final whistle had even blown.

 

  • Bristol Rovers – Rovers fans have a longstanding dislike for Warnock after several incidents while manager of Huddersfield Town.

 

He should be banned from ever managing a football club.
