Neil Warnock has taken a swipe at Nottingham Forest after their 1-1 draw with Aston Villa on Monday night.
The boss who was once offered the City Ground job by Fawaz Al Hasawi has joined Twitter recently.
His posts on social media are about as insightful as his style of pragmatic management at times.
If he’s not bashing referees he’s found placing his know-it-all persona on the hot topics in football.
Warnock isn’t in work at the moment.
Whether this is one of his sabbatical periods or whether he has now retired actually remains to be seen.
Nonetheless, he’s taken aim at Forest and Villa following their Premier League clash at the City Ground the other night.
Warnock, in typical fashion, couldn’t resist putting Anthony Taylor in his crosshairs too.
After the game, he took to Twitter to vent about the quality of the game and also hammer Taylor for missing what he felt was a penalty.
Warnock may have mentioned it, but he’s a qualified referee.
Being qualified and actually having vast experience in doing the job are two different things altogether.
Perhaps now he’s retired he could put his time to better use, rather than trolling on Twitter and on the radio when he’s given the platform!
Warnock has taken a swipe at Forest but his post is flawed
You have to laugh.
Listening to Warnock you’d think he was accomplished as a Premier League manager when he worked in football.
An EFL expert he may be but his record in the top flight is pretty drab, it’s fair to say.
In 154 games in charge of a Premier League club, he’s overseen just 37 wins at a ratio of 24%.
Clearly, the bloke could manage and that was proved with Warnock winning eight promotions during his career.
Naturally, Forest haven’t won for a bit and any criticism is bound to sting.
Something about his post the other night didn’t make sense though.
He claimed: “One of the worst Premier League games I’ve watched. Had to switch it off after an hour to wash the pots! Anthony Taylor and the team missing a clear penalty that was worse than Jesus’, just less writhing around.”
Interestingly, the penalty incident he speaks of happened in the 69th minute.
So was the game that bad he turned it off or did he actually find himself gripped to the action?
Warnock hasn’t made a deal of sense with his latest thoughts but it’s absolutely no surprise he’s take a swipe at Forest.
