And the Bluebirds manager launched a scathing attack at the club and player following his team's FA Cup defeat to Gillingham.
He told talkSPORT: "I'm disappointed with Nathaniel Clyne and Liverpool.
"To see on TV he's gone to Bournemouth when I've been promised he's my player is for me a disgrace and a lack of class.
"Having known the player and given him his debut, I'm disappointed not just with the boy himself but with Liverpool as well for not ringing me.

"The reason I'm disappointed with Nathaniel and Liverpool is that I've missed out three players because of that by waiting.
"I lost out on a couple of full backs and a striker, so I'm doubly disappointed.
"I probably should have been illegally tapping him, but I've done everything right and then Bournemouth come in.
"And I suppose Bournemouth paying £19 million for [Dominic] Solanke whetted their appetite a little bit."

Warnock gave the English star his debut during their time together at Crystal Palace and he has been keeping a close eye on him since.
Jurgen Klopp revealed that he let Clyne leave on loan because he has too many players in his squad.
The 27-year-old had featured just four times in the league for the Reds this season after 21 games.
Warnock also blasted Gillingham’s medical staff as FA Cup third round casualties Cardiff had TWO players in hospital.
The Bluebirds boss was angry at the delay over bringing on a stretcher for Kadeem Harris, who went to A&E for an x-ray on his shoulder.

Danny Ward also ended up in hospital for scans on his cheekbone after Elliot List’s late strike clinched victory for the League One battlers in a bruising clash.
Fellow Prem strugglers Huddersfield and Bournemouth were also dumped out of the cup by Bristol City and Brighton.
But Warnock raged: “Whatever division you’re in, you’re concerned about your players if they don’t get the right treatment and we were waiting for a stretcher for quite a long time. If he’d had a heart attack he’d be dead now. They have got a lot to learn.”
