Neil Warnock suggests that he may remain with Cardiff City should they earn promotion to the Premier League, despite his prior reservations with top-flight management.

Neil Warnock has suggested that he may remain with Cardiff City should promotion to the Premier League be achieved.

The Bluebirds will seal second place in the Championship table should they get a better result from Sunday's game against Reading than third-placed Fulham can muster in their final-day trip to Birmingham City.

Warnock has previously admitted that he prefers managing in the second tier and is not keen on the "politics" of the top flight, while others have questioned the veteran's ability at the highest level, given his relatively mediocre prior experiences.

"If Cardiff got to the Premier League it would be a different ball game," Warnock told The Guardian. "We are quite well organised now as a club. I'm not saying we would stay up. But I just think that I would want to go into the Premier League enjoying it – enjoying every minute of it – and I think I could at this club.

"If you look at my past in the Premier League, without going into too many details, I don't think I had much of a chance at any of them, for different reasons.

"At QPR, they sold the club and it meant I couldn't sign a player from the day we went up in April until the last week of August. You can't do that. Sheffield [United] was also disappointing when we got promotion. It was the same at Notts County."

Warnock has also managed Crystal Palace in the top flight, lasting four months in the job.
