WARNOCK STUTTERS

The former QPR manager Neil Warnock took over as the manager of Leeds United last year and he was given the task of getting the team promoted into the Premier league. So far, he has failed to achieve the targets because Leeds United are several points behind the automatic promotion spot, while they are a few places below the play-off position as well. This has led to the intense criticism of the manager from the Leeds fans in recent weeks, while there has also been turbulence surrounding the future of many star players like Luciano Becchio.

Yet, the manager has said that he does not have any regrets about coming to Leeds United. The future of Warnock has also been thrown into doubt following the arrival of new owners. Despite this current position, the manager has said that he expects the signings made in the January transfer window to come good in the next few months. He has also said that he is extremely delighted with the club and its history. However, there will be always a few fans who cannot be pleased. Warnock hopes to even win them over the coming months. Leeds United managed to win three matches on the bounce, which overcame the poor form in December.

“Over the years I’ve had one or two interesting jobs that haven’t been easy. I’d put this in that category. I’ve had more takeovers than just about any other manager, three out of the last three clubs I’ve been at, and to keep the ship here sailing as it is isn’t an easy job. There’s a lot more involved than people realise and that’s why I always say that all you can do is your best. All managers are expected to deliver. It goes with the territory,” said the Leeds United manager.

NO COMPLAINTS

The Leeds United manager Neil Warnock has said that he could not have any complaints about the 2-0 defeat at the hands of Hull City because his team were largely outplayed by a team that were much better. Leeds came into the match against Hull with just two victories in the last three matches, which has halted their promotion aspirations even though the play-off positions. They are currently eighth in the championship table with 38 points on the board, although they can still climbed up to the sixth position because of the small difference. Warnock had admitted that his team could have been beaten by a greater margin.

Warnock tried to utilise a different 5-3-2 formation against Leeds United and it totally did not work from the word go. Warnock also paid tribute to the incredible form experienced by Hull City in recent weeks. Under the management of Steve Bruce, the club has been able to move to the second position in the table just seven points behind leaders Cardiff City. They are on course for promotion back to the Premier league automatically, while Leeds United can hope for the play-off positions at the best. Warnock has said that he does not expect the performance of his players to be repeated in the subsequent matches.

“I think Hull are a one-off, I don’t think there’s another team like them in the league. They are by far the best organised team in the league, they play the same home and away. They have a good squad with decent replacements. I feel the frustration that the fans feel with our squad, but we’re all glad it’s January coming up. I’m trying to get new players in,” said the manager. Warnock is expected to bring in a couple of players, while sending out a few.
