Neil Warnock launches into pro-Brexit rant after draw to Huddersfield

"I think we'll be far better out of the bloody thing. In every aspect. To hell with the rest of the world. Football-wise as well."

In the least surprising news in political/footballing history, Neil Warnock emerged as a gammon-y Brexiteer on Saturday following Cardiff's 0-0 draw with Huddersfield. After being asked how exiting the EU would affect football in the aftermath of the game, he launched into an attack on prime minister Theresa May's handling of Britain's EU withdrawal. The vote on May's Brexit deal is due next week after it was delayed in December until after the parliamentary recess. Wales voted to leave the European Union by a margin of 52.5% to 47.5%, back in 2016, so Warnock may have felt as if he was preaching to the converted. Warnock told Sky Sports: "I think once the country knows what they're doing and we get an agreement and move on, I think it will be straightforward [to sign players].

"But I don't know why politicians don't do what the country wanted if I'm honest. They had a referendum and now we see 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 if I'm honest. I think we'll be far better out of the bloody thing. In every aspect. To hell with the rest of the world. Football-wise as well."

Interesting to see such a sermon served up in front of a VISIT MALAYSIA sign... https://twitter.com/PoliticsJOE_UK/status/1084384255579508737 Wonder if the Malaysian tourist board will be looking for a discount on whatever rates Cardiff chose.
