Warnock on Adel

[Stanley]

“I’d never say never. Adel was and still does remain a fans favourite at QPR.But I don’t think he’ll ever have another season like the one he had with me though, and that’s no disrespect to Harry or any other manager. I just can’t see another manager in England having a go with him for 12 months. For me it’s my biggest achievement as a manager – no-one else could manage him.

People talk about the trouble he caused and all this, but he repaid me and gave me the best year of my career. It’s always the so-called bad ones who win you games isn’t it? I love to know that he’ll always remember me managing him. It’s very difficult to manage Adel and to get the best out of him. That’s probably why Harry is glad he’s gone to Fulham, so then there’s no chance of a problem. I can’t see him featuring regularly for Fulham if I’m honest, but we’ll have to see.

I last spoke to Adel about three weeks ago and it was like we were both still at QPR. I treat him like my lad. I loved him to bits and still do. He gave me some of the best moments of my career. That’s why when we get together we’re still very close and he still calls me ‘gaffer’. I think that shows the kind of relationship we have.”

If it wasnt for Warnock letting Adel get away with murder we wouldnt have got the best out of him but then that was a cause of a lot of unrest from other players a lot more professional.

It was a means to and end and at least it got us promoted. However you achieve it its whatever works at the end of the day.

Agree i suppose but would have been a lot easier if Adel had an ounce of professionalism. How hard is it for a player paid thousands a week to turn up for training on time and stay fit? No wonder other players in the squad got the ump when he gets away with stuff like that. Destroys team spirit.

Team spirit was fine in the promotion year, as Warnock managed to convince the other players to get them onside for the greater aim (as he explains in the book). It was only under Hughes that it all went downhill.

There was already disruption between Adel and a number of players before Warnock went. it all came to the fore though once Adel's protector was sacked and replaced.

True, but my understanding is that was not during the promotion season, but during the first few months of the PL season under Warnock because he was struggling to get results and under pressure, owing to lack of much-needed squad investment from the outgoing Tango and Cash.

[blue and white]

he didn't manage him. he just stop the other players getting on his case. Neil got away with that in the championship. in the premiership adel got found out and you cant have a player who doesn't pull their weight. Neil new that would be the case and thats why he made Joey captain. thats why Adel is now ****ed because other managers don't need him as much as neil did. i was a big fan of adele's until i read neil's book now. sadly i think it just confirmed what i knew already about him i just didn't want to believe it.

[Rangers77]

Happy days, eh. Warnock making us relevant again made everything that's followed possible.

[Yousef]

So why hadn't Taarabt give his best to Warnock in the PL before Warnock was sacked?

[Jimmy Floyd Rabbit]

Will go down as one of the biggest wastes of talent in the GAME. Not just QPR but the game in general. A real shame but all his own doing.

[Hoop-du-Jour]

There's still time for him to have an epiphany. I don't hold out much hope for that though, I reckon he'll end up bigger than Ruddock and far less affable.

Loved Adel for those 18 months especially after the previous 10 years, he was a joy to watch BUT had the chance to join other Rangers Legends and failed to deliver where it counted, the top division, so unfortunately he will now be in the also rans albeit at the top of that pack.

The rare times I saw an Adel interview he genuinely sounded like he loved the club. I know a lot of rumours and whispers that he was disruptive but was this true, and even if it was, was it more out of genuine contempt for how the club was run when we got promoted rather than disloyalty.
He gave his all that season we went up and was actually one of our better players in the season we stayed up.
If you put yourself in his shoes, he absolutely destroyed the league, best QPR player for a generation and then you get us up and the club go poor mans galacticos crazy which Redknapp highlighted in his autobiography where average or below average players were earning champions league wages. Adel was God and suddenly he's earns a 1/3 of Bosingwa or Park. AT must just think what's all this about when Bothroyd is earning more than you....just nonsense.
The club didn't manage the situation well and I still think if we were cleverer we could of built a solid team round him but like always we mess up and rumours start going around and people start covering their own backs and he's an easy target.

So if it was the situation here that was holding him up why hasnt gone to Fulham and performed? Struggling to get on the bench!
