Warnock on Town Links - Ipswich Town News

Veteran boss Neil Warnock has been quizzed on the recent whispers that he could be interested in the Town manager’s job should it become vacant.

Rumours that Warnock would be a target should the Blues look for a new boss have been circulating since current incumbent Paul Lambert called his position into question at his press conference following the 0-0 Boxing Day draw with Gillingham at Portman Road.

However, it’s understood owner Marcus Evans has no plans to make a change at present and earlier today the club put out a statement from general manager of football operations Lee O’Neill to that effect.

Warnock, who knows Evans, has been spoken to about taking over at Town in the past, most notably after Roy Keane’s departure in 2012.

The 71-year-old, who plans to retire at the end of the season, is currently out of work having left Cardiff by mutual consent just over a month ago.

Asked about his plans on The Alan Brazil Sports Breakfast on talkSPORT this morning Warnock said: "I always said that after Christmas I’d do something, I’m not bothered what level it is, I’ll do something to the end of the season, if it’s the right one, if it’s something that whets my appetite. She [wife Sharon] says I can go to the end of the season.”

Quizzed on links with the Town job, he added: "I think I get linked to everything, all managers do, don’t they? I think that’s how it is at the minute, they’re all talk and everything and you just don’t know.

"But, like I say, if the right thing comes up, I’m not really bothered what it is, I just want to enjoy myself to the end of the season really.”
