Cardiff boss Neil Warnock stands by 'personal opinions' on Brexit
Tuesday 15 January 2019 09:33, UK
Cardiff City manager Neil Warnock says he stands by the remarks he made at the weekend regarding Brexit.
Warnock's club have distanced themselves from the comments, which followed Saturday's 0-0 draw with Huddersfield.
The 70-year-old said that Britain's planned exit from the European Union would not make it more difficult for Premier League clubs to sign players from abroad.
The Bluebirds manager went on to suggest Britain would be "far better" outside the EU, adding "to hell with the rest of the world".
Cardiff released a statement on Monday, which said: "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."
Warnock is undaunted though, and he told The Times: "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 said too."
