Danny Ward discloses that Neil Warnock was the reason why he preferred Cardiff

Danny Ward discloses that Neil Warnock was the reason why he preferred Cardiff over Ipswich.


As per Ward, his experience of playing under Warnock was fantastic when he was given the charge of Rotherham on an interim basis in 2016. The 69-year old had done some wonderful work coming in at a difficult time and had managed to avoid Rotherham’s relegation from the second tier which was looking certain at one point of time. And not only him, but, his associates as well, they were mighty impressive as a coaching staff.

Also when he talked to some of the players in the Cardiff City squad whom he knows personally and is close to, they all gave him positive feedback about Warnock and none of them told him anything which would have created any sort of doubt in his mind.

Ward admits that Cardiff is situated far away from where he belongs to, but, he insists that it’s not that he doesn’t have any connections over there. He has got a few mates in that City and a few mates even in the Bluebirds’ squad and secondly, it’s the chance of working with the coach he rates so highly which really helped him come to his decision.

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.

Cardiff City gone under numerous changes this Season

There have been numerous changes at Cardiff City since the summer and one of them is playing under new manager Russell Slade. The manager has so far been highly inconsistent with his results.

After managing to back-to-back victories – in the FA Cup and in the Championship, Cardiff lost a narrow encounter against Norwich City away from home. This has increased the displeasure amongst the few supporters who are turning up to see the team. A recent FA Cup match witnessed only a turnaround of just over 4000 spectators compared to almost 30,000 that the club used to attract only last season.

A crucial 1-0 victory over Fulham in the last league match helps Cardiff keep the momentum in the league, but they will need to start winning on a regular basis. Yet another away trip awaits the team during this weekend.
