Warnock not afraid of sacking

Cardiff City manager Neil Warnock has stated that he is not scared of being sacked by the club as he is sure of getting another job.


He believes that there is a shortage of good managers in the game at the moment and that will give him a lot of opportunities.

Warnock said that he has plenty of experience in the Championship and this should allow him to coach any other club. For this reason, he is not afraid of losing his job if ever the Cardiff City board decided to sack him.

Cardiff City is currently 13th in the Championship and are currently on a good run of form. Many pundits were tipping Cardiff City to make a serious push for promotion this season, but they were let down by a poor start to the season.

CARDIFF DEFENDER BAMBA CHARGED BY FA

Cardiff City defender Sol Bamba has been charged by the Football Association for his actions in the draw at Ipswich.


Bamba received a red card for his actions and he is poised to serve a two-game ban. However, the player could serve more match ban with the charge.

Jonathan Douglas roughly tackled Bamba, 31, during the game. The African reacted angrily, confronting the referee, fourth official and his manager Neil Warnock. Cardiff will ask for a personal hearing in light of the charge, Warnock claimed.

“We’re going to ask for a personal hearing. I think that’ll be done today,” Warnock said.

The club has until Friday evening to respond to the charge. Warnock admits that Samba behaved rashly but added that the club would contest some areas with the FA.

“We spoke to Sol yesterday and [Thursday] we looked at all the videos that the league have sent us and whilst we agree his conduct wasn’t right, we do have certain discrepancies in the report we find so we will be looking at a personal hearing for that,” the manager said.

Warnock added that the club would deal with the player internally later but was focused on dealing with the situation at hand. Warnock blamed the referee James Adcock for playing the advantage after Bamba was fouled.

FREDERIC GOUNONGBE JOINS CARDIFF

Cardiff City confirm the signature of Frederic Gounongbe from Belgian club KVX Westerlo.


The 28-year old forward is set to make an appearance in the coming season after his contract expired at De Kemphanen. He joined the club as a free agent after impressing Cardiff City with his 22 goals statistics in the Jupiler Pro League. He becomes the second signing for City after Lex immers joined recently.

Gounongbe said: “Coming to the UK and playing my football here is a big challenge and I’m excited about performing in front of the Bluebirds’ fans. Cardiff City head coach Paul Trollope is still on duty with the Welsh national team in France. Wales recently defeated Belgium 3-1 in a shocking and entertaining game at the quarterfinal stage of the Euro 2016 tournament.

The executive director of the club as well as the CEO Ken Choo added: “We delighted to be able to bring Frederic into the fold, who will add to our already accomplished squad.”

CARDIFF CITY MANAGER NOT CERTAIN OF FUTURE

Cardiff City football club manager, Russell Slade, is unsure of his future as his side missed out on the Championship play-offs.

The Bluebirds lost by three nil at Sheffield Wednesday this past weekend leaving them seven points adrift of the top six with one game left in the season.


The current contract of the coach is due to lapse at the end of this campaign but when asked if he expects to be in charge next season, Slade told BBC Sport:

“We’ll see. At the end of the day, it will be the owners’ decision.”

The coach may have overseen an unlikely Championship play-off this season but the truth is Slade has not been accepted by some Cardiff fans. Gary Hooper scored two goals as Sheffield Wednesday sealed their play-off place at their expense. The former Leyton Orient boss said:

“We’ve made progress. It’s my job, the team’s job and the staff’s job now to see if we can take that even further.

“We’ve made progress under difficult circumstances at times. We are going the right way.

“We had a bad day at the office today. We have to get over that. They always happen in football – it’s how you respond and react.

“I still believed we could get in that top six today and take it to the last game. Anything could’ve happened, but it’s not to be.”

He also added that their poor away record affected them this season but hopes they win their last game. He said:

David Flitcroft will want his players to give everything in the final games of the season and would want them to stay focus on the game plan.

The manager believes that there are not a great deal that separates the teams at the top of the league from the rest. The only difference is that the top teams has a better finishing and score more goals.

For the game against Burton, Flitcroft will have Craig Jones and Kelvin Etuhu back in the team. Jones was on a good run of form before suffering from a concussion at Blackpool while Etuhu will be back after two months.
