Neil Warnock: Cardiff City boss says he’ll fine his wife for her comments after Chelsea defeat and makes promise to Liverpool
Cardiff City boss Neil Warnock joked he would ‘fine his wife a week’s wages’ for her comments after the Chelsea defeat at the weekend.Warnock wasleft raging at the officials after the Blues equalised through a blatantly offside goal on Sunday, with Maurizio Sarri’s men going on to complete a comeback, winning 2-1.3

Neil Warnock was furious with the officiating in his side’s 2-1 defeat to Chelsea

The former QPR boss later revealed on talkSPORT his wife, Sharon, wouldn’t have stopped him ‘thumping’ the officials after the controversy at the Cardiff City Stadium.Speaking ahead of his side’s trip to Manchester City on Wednesday, Warnock addressed the comments again – albeit in a more light-hearted manner than the first time around.He said: Ill fine [her] a weeks wages. I dont regret saying it, its my wife she says what she wants.“I cant condone that and thats why I took action against her. Im sure lots of Cardiff fans felt the same.”3

Warnock lost his temper on the touchline

Warnock could receive a Football Association charge over his comments about the officials following the controversial defeat to Chelsea.He had said in his post-match interviews: “The best league in the world and probably the worst officials at the minute.”But Warnock insists he is right to criticise refereeing standards in the English game and claims they have gone backwards under referees’ chief Mike Riley, head of the Professional Game Match Officials Limited.“I always thought Mike Riley was a manufactured referee from day one,” Warnock said.“I don’t think he’s changed since then. He’s been coached manufactured, almost like a robot.“He knows everything about the rules, but I feel these people struggle to understand the game and the human element.“A lot of referees are like Mike Riley and that’s why I think we have gone backwards. Common sense thing is not allowed nowadays, but the best refs still use it.”3

Warnock was hugely disappointed with the officials

Warnock went on to confirm he wouldn’t be fielding the club’s Under-23 side against Pep Guardiola’s men, after threatening to do so in the aftermath of Sunday’s game.Cardiff play City on Wednesday, and Warnock has promised their title rivals Liverpool his side will be going all out for victory.“I wont field a weakened side against them dont worry and Ill make sure my lads are right up for this one,” he said.

“The Under-23s? We havent got enough unfortunately and none of the lads want to travel and play in that, so Im going to have to stick to the first team!“I think most of the lads want to play. West Ham was our best performance of the season and I thought that was topped against Chelsea.“Now we have to lift it even more and try and give a respectable performance at Manchester City.”The Bluebirds are five points adrift of safety ahead of a crunch basement battle against Burnley on Saturday.
