Should West Ham United look at Cardiff City manager Neil Warnock if they get relegated to the Championship?

West Ham United Vice Chairman Karren Brady listens to a question during a press conference in east London to announce the new deal between Newham council and West Ham United football club...

West Ham United vice-chairman Karren Brady has spoken highly of Cardiff City manager Neil Warnock in The Sun.

Cardiff are going strong in the Championship at the moment and could earn automatic promotion to the Premier League at the end of the season.

Brady wrote about Warnock in The Sun: “Perhaps it is no coincidence Warnock admits he prefers the rough and tumble of the second tier.

“It’s there he is appreciated as a cocksure gunfighter with a bullet for anyone who crosses him. He’s a heck of a man-manager, too.”

Perfect manager if West Ham go down

West Ham fans will remember Warnock and the Carlos Tevez saga well, as documented in The Guardian, but that was several years ago.

The Hammers are under new ownership now, and it would not be a bad idea for the club to approach Warnock if they go down to the Championship at the end of the season.

True, David Moyes is a good manager, but the former Everton and Manchester United boss is not a serial promotion-winner like Warnock is.

Neil Warnock, Manager of Cardiff City looks on prior to The Emirates FA Cup Fourth Round between Cardiff City and Manchester City on January 28, 2018 in Cardiff, United Kingdom.

The former Leeds United and Queens Park Rangers boss knows how to keep clubs in the Championship and how to get them promoted.

If West Ham do get relegated to the Championship, then they should at least look at the possibility of Warnock, who himself suggested to talkSPORT back in November 2017 that he hates managing in the Premier League and loves working in the second tier of English football.
