Trollope had to go and Warnock can lift Cardiff spirits - Gabbidon

In his long managerial career Neil Warnock has been in charge at the likes of Sheffield United, Crystal Palace, Leeds and Rotherham
Danny Gabbidon believes his former boss Neil Warnock is the perfect man to lift Cardiff City.

The Bluebirds sacked Paul Trollope and 67-year old Warnock is the club's top target to replace him.

"Knowing Neil personally and working under him, I know what he is about. He could be a nice fit to come in and get the team up and running quickly," Gabbidon said.

"This Cardiff job is a difficult job, it's not suited to everyone."

"You have to have the right personality and the right credentials."

Gabbidon, who was signed by Warnock in June 2011, feels his experience would make him a good fit at a good time for the Championship strugglers, who have won just twice in 11 games.

"You need a manager who can go in there and get that team performing and he could be someone who could do that," he told BBC Wales Sport.

"He's a very good man-manager, he's good at working on a tight budget and getting the right players in.

"Working under him at QPR, I know the kind of person Neil is, the kind of manager he is.

"He's also proven in that division to get the best out of teams and get them out of that division.

"It's not just about bringing in a coach who will be good on the training ground, it's about bringing in a personality who can lift the players and lift the spirits of the players."

The former Cardiff and West Ham defender felt the club had to act to remove Trollope.

"I don't think anyone can argue with the decision to sack Paul," he said.

"Results have not been good and performances have not been good either.

"I am hardly surprised by the decision. He has tried to put his stamp on things and it has not worked.

"He's not been getting enough out of the players. With the squad they've got there they should not be sitting towards the bottom of the league."

Under Trollope Cardiff won just two games all season and are just one place off the bottom of the Championship.

Cardiff see their next Championship action on 14 October when Bristol City travel to the Welsh capital.

"If Neil Warnock came in he would relish the Bristol City game and it could be a catalyst for the season," Gabbidon said.

Cardiff City: Neil Warnock to be named manager after Paul Trollope sacking

Warnock began his managerial career at Scarborough in 1986
Cardiff City are set to name Neil Warnock as manager following Paul Trollope's sacking.

Trollope was dismissed on Tuesday after less than five months in charge.

Former Sheffield United boss Warnock, 67, is expected to be appointed before Cardiff host Bristol City in the Championship on Friday, 14 October.

Warnock helped Rotherham avoid relegation from the Championship last season during three months in charge, but turned down the chance to stay.

Championship side Cardiff would be Warnock's 14th managerial appointment.

He spent eight seasons in charge of Sheffield United, and has twice managed Crystal Palace and QPR.

Former Cardiff defender Danny Gabbidon, who played under Warnock at QPR, has said he "could be a nice fit to come in and get the team up and running quickly".

He added: "He's a very good man-manager. He's good at working on a tight budget and getting the right players in.

"He's also proven in that division to get the best out of teams and get them out of that division."

Cardiff are second bottom of the table after winning only two of their opening 11 games.

Trollope's assistant, Lennie Lawrence, and conditioning coach Ryland Morgan have also left the club.

I love Warnock but hope he fails miserably there if only to stop all the fapping over him on here.

Gotta fapp about something ................ no games on, still a forum to contribute to, noise to make, people to annoy!
All l know, when he was here last, he had us playing well.
The difference in the playing group was immense ................... just saying.

We were awful in Warnock's last spell, we just didn't lose as often.

Really ..................... If so, l stand corrected but l was under the impression that Warnock quickly turned us around and was gathering points when the implication came that he was not going to be long term, hence we started slipping some what but all in all, l thought we were better than when Ramsey had us.
Again, please correct me for my eye is cast from some distance.
