Neil Warnock And The £100m Narrow Escape As He Heads To Relegated Fulham

Neil Warnock hopes for a silver lining to a cloud-covered season and evidence for his old-school belief that all that glitters is not gold. The Cardiff City manager takes his team to Fulham tomorrow, the club just one place below them in the Premier League but who were relegated a month ago despite spending £100m last summer following promotion. Cardiff parted with less than £40m and if they can win at Craven Cottage and go on to end with their heads above the bottom three, then the club will have disproved the modern adage that promoted clubs must generally follow a boom or bust economic strategy in order to survive.

Fully Charged Scott Parker Ready To Unplug Cardiff From The Machine

Scott Parker insists Cardiff City have exceeded expectations in prolonging their Premier League status this long, but is ready to switch off the life support on Saturday. The Fulham caretaker manager is searching for a third successive victory for a club that have already been relegated. If they manage it – and Brighton win at home against Newcastle later that same evening – then the Bluebirds will effectively be down as the Seagulls would be six points clear with two games left and a vastly superior goal difference.

Lee Peltier Says Cardiff Can Fly Above The Seagulls

Lee Peltier insists Cardiff City can keep their heads above the relegation waters with a flood of points in their last three matches. Tuesday night’s late 1-0 victory for Tottenham over Brighton has left Cardiff three points behind the Seagulls with both clubs now having played the same number of games. The Bluebirds lost 2-0 to Liverpool on Easter Sunday, but a victory at Fulham on Saturday would draw them level on 34 points with Brighton, who host in-form Newcastle later in the evening. Brighton have failed to score in their last seven games.

Cardiff City’s Pogba Lacuna . . . It’s Being Filled By Leandro Bacuna

Leandro Bacuna insists Cardiff City have what Aston Villa lacked three years ago – the unity to stay in the Premier League. The Bluebirds midfielder – who could replace Aron Gunnarssson against Liverpool today – was part of the Villa squad that crashed out of the top level in 2016. It was a divided dressing room, he says, full of finger-pointing accusations among players against a chaotic backdrop of four different managers in the same season.

Neil Warnock: We Need To Be Better . . . Or We’re Going To Get Battered

Neil Warnock has warned his Cardiff City relegation-battlers they need to improve against the top teams – or else they are heading for a “battering” against Liverpool on Sunday. The Cardiff City manager seems intent on not allowing any drop in standards set by his players in their 2-0 victory at Brighton on Tuesday – arguably their best performance of the season. The victory has revived the Bluebirds’ hope of staying in the Premier League, by cutting the gap between themselves and Brighton to just two points.

We Have Made Sunday Super, Says Cardiff Boss Neil Warnock

Neil Warnock believes, that at the very least, Cardiff City have boosted Sky Sports’ viewing figures for the club’s televised clash against title-chasing Liverpool on Sunday. Not many neutrals would have given Cardiff much hope of taking anything from that fixture, had the Bluebirds lost to Brighton on Tuesday night. But their transformational 2-0 victory at the Amex Stadium – only Cardiff’s third victory away from home this season – has dramatically altered their Premier League survival hopes.
