Neil Warnock says that he wants a minute's booing at all the clubs that love to hate him when he passes away.

Outspoken Warnock made the remark while appearing on Goals on Sunday as he looked back on his lively managerial career.

The Cardiff boss also spoke about the Championship promotion race and some of the colourful characters that he has dealt with throughout his career, report ChronicleLive.

But he also showed a nice line in self-deprecating humour when he told hosts Ben Shepherd and Chris Kamara that rather than a minute’s applause, he wants a minute’s booing up and down the country when he dies.

Warnock has certainly not been afraid to ruffle feathers at various clubs. He once famously said he’d like to take over at Sheffield Wednesday – just so that he could get them deliberately relegated. And in spells at Huddersfield, Scarborough, QPR and Sheffield United he made a few enemies.

And he's certainly no friend of referees - as he reminded us when he criticised officials after a recent trip to St James' Park.

He clashed – famously – with Rafa Benitez after feeling that the then Liverpool boss played a weak team that contributed to Sheffield United getting relegated.

He also offered some interesting thoughts on the Championship promotion battle – saying Newcastle are NOT the best team in the division.

He thinks they’ve got the best squad but that Brighton are better.

“I think it will be a good play-off battle. They all have different attributes. Reading have a problem because their pitch is a disgrace and they play passing football so that doesn’t help them.

“Leeds have the fans, and Wednesday have the passion and Fernando Forestieri, who is on fire.

“Huddersfield have a great team ethic. It does look as if it will be those four for me, although I am sure Norwich will have something to say about that.

“Brighton have built the club in the correct way, they have improved every year, even last year when they missed out they got over it.

“I think they are the best team in the league. Newcastle have the best squad but Brighton are the best team.”
