Neil Warnock Admits Cardiff Are Down . . . But Not Yet Down And Out

Neil Warnock admits he was left devastated, defeated and demoralised by Cardiff City’s controversial defeat to Chelsea – but has vowed the club can still achieve a miraculous escape from relegation. The Bluebirds manager looked weary an hour after the final whistle, by which time the raw anger provoked by the 2-1 home defeat has started to subside. In its place Warnock reached for gallows humour as he looked ahead to his team’s next visit to Manchester City.

Golden oldie Gareth Bale has vowed to help polish the new gems as Wales aim to sparkle again in the European Championships. Almost three years after being the jewel in the crown for Chris Coleman’s team at Euro 2016, Bale is still the most precious piece in the new line-up under Ryan Giggs. But as Wales prepare to take on Slovakia tonight in their opening qualifier for Euro 2020, the Real Madrid star – not yet even 30 – is the self-confessed “oldie” compared to the new crops of youngsters who will provide vital support.

Cardiff City’s Junior Hoilett: Neil Warnock Has Always Backed Me And I’m With Him 100%

Junior Hoilett has backed Neil Warnock to keep Cardiff City in the Premier League – and dismissed claims some teammates had lost faith in their manager. Hoilett scored the first and created the second goal as the Bluebirds beat West Ham 2-0 at the weekend to remain in touch with the clubs just above them. It was a victory made essential by their rivals – Brighton, Newcastle and Southampton also winning – but the Canadian striker also feels it gave clear evidence to back up his rejection of the notion of a divided dressing room.
