Taxi for Warnock

[Indestructable]

So it's all over and Sheffield United are down.

If the premier league had penalised West Ham as they should have done there would have been a different result. Looks like it was £5.5 million well spent.

Even my in-built natural instinct to not want anything good to happen to teams from Sheffield can't overcome the fact that West Ham staying up stinks.  What does a £5.5m million fine mean now that they're guaranteed £30m minimum next season.

I really hope the 'gang of 4' go through the courts and get this overturned, although I can't see it happening.

The West Ham thing, the farce with the 10-point deductions for Leeds and Boston, plus Tim Howard-Gate has shown this season just how incompetent the football authorities are in their ability to produce 'fair and equitable' rules or make a meaningful ruling without 'bottling it'.

Consequently, they deserve to see the season descend into farce and courtroom squabbles.

Don't forget, these are the same idiots that appointed Steve McLaren and allowed Wembley to run 'slightly over budget'.

Also thought it was a bit unfair that Man Utd did not play their three best players from the start.
Liverpool are also guilty of this as Fulham have only stayed up as Liverpool rested 9 players against them.

The Sky league will eventually eat itself,the huge sums of money involved will see to that.This whole West Ham saga will be just be the first of many.

Watch how the clubs that survived furiously start doing the backstroke & leave Sheff Utd high & dry.

Sorry, but warnock is a prize *****er.

For him to criticise another team for what they've done to condemn them to relegation is pathetic.  Remember what Sheffield Utd did to get a game abandoned?  Here's a reminder:

He doesn't half spout some vile stuff as well:

"At least I knew the players that were playing. I didn't even know two of those that played for Liverpool at Fulham last week.

"I'd never heard of them but when you are a foreign manager like Rafa Benitez, you probably don't give two hoots about what Sheffield United think.

He also said that when he alleged that Henchoz deliberately spat at him that it's the sort of thing he expects from a foreign player.

Nice chap.  Will be missed in the Premiership.  Just feel sorry for those in the Championship.

Warncock wont win many friends and he often shoots from the hip before actually thinking what he is going to say.

But..



I think he's good for football, he does not tolerate cheats and divers, lame ref decisions. I would much rather we have managers like him than coppell..personailty of a pea.

In pure footballing terms I'd much rather see Coppell as a manager than Warnock.

Reading are great to watch even if the post match interviews aren't riveting.

He cheats!! 

When they got that game abandoned he sent out his players to be sent off and to feign injury.  A disgusting, foul-mouthed bigot who although occasionally amuses the audience is to football what Jim Davidson is to comedy.

[Bongo]

Why would he want to do that?

Surely if players get sent off they forfeit the game anyway?

It doesn't say what his motivation to do such a thing was?

[roverthtaeh]

Warnock suggesting which players Mr Ferguson should pick for a particular game pretty much sums the man up.
Given the comparison between the two men regarding personal results, it's amazing how Warnock even dare suggest such a thing.
Mr Warnock, the reason you were relegated is because you didn't get enough points.
Chip paper you are.

[Indestructable]

I have no time for Warnock, but he is right in that had Liverpool played a proper team against Fulham that Sheffield United would probably still be up. Similarly Man Utd did not start with their best eleven. How can this be fair on the other teams involved in relegation.
However the main issue is how can one team "cheating" with a dodgy player deal not get penalised with points?
Can't see anything happening about it but West Ham should be down. I wonder if Uefa/Fifa should stick their noses in? Where is Sepp Blatter when you need him?
