A biography for Neil Warnockhasn’t been written yet.
“I never thought I'd rather watch England's cricketers batting for a draw than their footballers in the World Cup but it was a lot more exciting.”
“You can only go so far in the Premier League before you have to spend.”
“Neil Etheridge in goal and Nathaniel Mendez-Laing, they've both come from lower league clubs and done brilliantly.”
“Not that I am saying I will never manage again. I want to spend more time with my family and, since we live in Cornwall, that rules out most long-term options.”
“I used to think you needed a passport to go south of Watford. But when I came to London the people were fantastic, so good, right down to earth, my kind of people.”
“The way that I am, most of my time as a manager has been putting fires out and I don't enjoy dealing with chairmen and owners but I know it's part of my job.”
“Statistics can be so misleading. It is funny, though, how often at the moment you see one team had 60 per cent of the ball but still lost.”
“My biggest achievement at Cardiff is bringing the whole club together in my two years here.”
“My teams have never been supposed to be able to do the things that they do.”
“I would like to apologise to anyone who has put a bet on me becoming the next Scotland manager.”
“I'm glad to see goal-line technology working; we should have had it for years. I do believe we will soon see managers being allowed one, or two, challenges.”
“As I found at QPR, a club in the process of a takeover is paralysed.”
“There is a version of me people see. I don't think I play up to it, I think it's more other people put it out there. People see the football side of me, but I'm a different character away from it.”
“It doesn't bother me what division I am managing in.”
“When I do pack it in, there's plenty for me to do down in Cornwall. There are some decent local teams, like Bodmin, that I'd like to go and watch.”
“After more than 30 years in the dugout I have come to realise there is a need at many clubs for someone who can act as a link between managers and owners.”
“If you look at my past in the Premier League, without going into too many details, I don't think I had much of a chance at any of them, for different reasons.”
“People just do not realise what a football life can be. Since 1968 I've never had more than a few weeks out of work, when I left Sheffield United and I have not had a Christmas.”
“It's suggested I am big pals with Willie McKay. Am I? I don't think I am. He is an agent. You need these agents if you want to do a deal.”
“At Plymouth I wrote 'Neil Warnock's Wembley Way', a one-year diary, to show people what being a manager was like. I got lucky as the year ended with us winning promotion through the play-offs at Wembley.”
