Cullip slaughtered by Warnock

[Kinky Gerbil]

I'm with Warnock on this one.

He was a decent lower league leader, but put him at the top of the championship and I can imagine he was nothing short of a liability. We desperately miss someone with his leadership qualities now, but due to his lack of skill on the ball, refusal to accept the blame, poor positioning, and bullying of other players, I was never a fan. He's the sort of bloke you need when trying to be successful in leagues one and two, but as soon as footballing ability becomes more of a necessity than shouting a lot and hoofing the ball upfield he is lost.

Yep cant argue with that, sadly for Danny Cullip to really make it in the Championship he is lacking a yard of pace, He always seemed to be trying to pull players back.

I remember when Lardy Butters ran into Cullip letting Stoke score and Butters was so SCARED at what was going to happen afterwards he went straight home without a shower and didn't appear for training for MONTHS after.

Danny Cullip - Legend

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

Cullip was an absolute hero and legend for this club one of the top 5 central defenders in the history of the club so I don't give a shite if Warnock did not rate him. I would have him back here like a shot. In fact we have not been the same since he left. Wilkins would not have him as Cullip would be running the show within a week.

 

[bhaexpress]

I wouldn't.

What other managers have had problems with Cullip? When John Gregory signed him for QPR he said that as soon as he had seen him train with them that they would stay up, because of his personality.

Warnock is the wanker, not Cullip.

True, he's played under quite a few other managers and Cullip was never a problem to any of them. The reports at the time said that Cullip actually got Warnock in a headlock, rather different to Warnock's account. However, also in his book Warnock accuses actor Sean Bean of verbally abusing him in front of his family. Bean has subsequently totally denied this, who do you want to believe ?

I have mixed memories of DC.

On the plus side an inspirational player who led by example, gave 100% and responsible for personally my best moment as an Albion fan.

On the negative, I think Warnock is right in as much that I don't believe I ever saw him take the blame for an error. I think he did have a tendancy to be a bully highlighted to me when he called Will Packham a C*nt, quite aggressively, at Port Vale when he happened to knock him over whilst coming out to collect a cross. I think Charlie Oatway would probably have been the better captain as he had the same give 100% quality about him but he had a more encouraging style as opposed to the bollocking style of DC.

In ballance though I believe we were better off with him than without him.

I agree completely.

Can I also point out to O lads that Paul Rogers was captain in our two promotions. Cullip was captain when we won the play offs.

I remember watching an FA Cup game when Sheff Utd were away at Arsenal (and this was b4 Arsenal became crap again) and DC was absolutely immense. He had Berkamp in his pocket all game and eventually Bergkamp was sent off.

Cullip was Sheffields best player by far and did not look at all out of place against the premier opposition. I think they may have evebtually lost on penalties but on that showing alone I,m surprised he never did better at Sheff Utd

And that would not be a bad thing

 

[Gritt23]

Neil Warnock is Colin Wanker.

That is all.

 

[Munkfish]

he was a bit of a bully boy though! id agree with warnock on the fact hes a talker! and alot of it was a just to bully players into listen or being scared of him! worked for him most of the time! and its not like hes gone on to prove warnock wrong!

 

[larus]

Cullip was a loud-mouth bully. That is all.

 

[Vatican Citys No.2 Keeper]

Should of nutted him Danny. He wouldn't have been so smug then.

Yeah, Should've taken on him & the whole team, would've been a walk in the park.

Just had a look on soccerbase and Rodgers only made 24 apperances (just over half) in the league that season, as was sure he did miss a fair few games. Even the Swindon one where we were champions he didn't play, so was DC the playing captain whilst Rodgers the club captain?

 

[turienzo's lovechild]

so was DC the playing captain whilst Rodgers the club captain?

pretty much yes


i don't think taylor rated rogers that much, as his first choice midfield semed to be lewis, carpenter, melton


whats HAPPENED to junior lewis out of interest?

ROGERS

 

[fatbadger]

Nothing was ever his fault. [/I]

Cullip was great for us, but this comment from Warnock sounds spot on. Nothing ever was his fault - and he was always ready to lamp a team member for disagreeing with him.

 

[Kenhead]

ROGERS

Ah Typo error there, but i still am talking about the same player and the stats are right. He only played 50% or the games that season. Here: Soccerbase

 

[Basil Fawlty]

Warnock is a big mouthed wanker, wish Danny would of smacked his smug grin off his face.
