LONDON -- Earlier this week Neil Warnock, the Sheffield United manager whose ego and popularity are at opposite ends of the scale, was sent to the stands during the 1-1 draw with Leeds after yelling to to the visiting manager Kevin Blackwell: "I hope he breaks his f------ leg next time," a reference to Leeds' Gary Kelly after he challenged Sheffield United's Craig Short for a loose ball.
According to Warnock it was all Paul Robinson's fault. However, it was not the fourth official who shouted a comment of extraordinary nastiness, it was Warnock who let it be known he hoped an opposing player sustained a serious injury.
