Neil Warnock has said that he stands by his comments on Brexit.
His controversial comments came after his side’s goalless draw against Huddersfield Town in the Premier League.
Cardiff City boss Neil Warnock has defended his stance on the comments he made about how Brexit can affect transfers. The English gaffer is known for making controversial comments and he has made a few already this season, the Brexit one being the latest of the lot.
Speaking to the media after his side’s goalless draw against Huddersfield Town, Warnock said, “I think once the country knows what they’re doing, it will be straightforward [to make signings] … Any transfer window is difficult for me, not just this one.”
He added, “I don’t know why politicians don’t do what the country wants, if I’m honest. They had a referendum and now we see different politicians and everyone else trying to put their foot in it … Why did we have a referendum in the first bloody place? I can’t wait to get out of it, if I’m honest. I think we’ll be far better out of the bloody thing. In every aspect. Football-wise as well, absolutely. To hell with the rest of the world.”
The club, however, have distanced themselves in this aspect and have said that Warnock is himself responsible for every word that he has spoken about Brexit. Cardiff City released a statement addressing the issue that read, “Comments made by our manager following Saturday’s fixture are representative of his personal political stance. These comments do not reflect the political position of Cardiff City Football Club, nor its Board of Directors.”
However, Warnock has stood by his comments and said, “I don’t mind at all if the club want to make sure it’s clear that it is my own personal opinion and not the club’s policy. If they feel they want to put out a statement saying that, then that’s fine by me, and I stand by what I have said too.”
