A special mention also to all of my players, past, and present, who have given me everything. Thank you, you’re a great bunch."
On his departure and the future, Warnock said, "It is a shared belief that this is the right time for a new voice as we believe this squad of players is more than capable of getting success. Finally, I would like to thank all you supporters for getting behind me and the team. I hope you have all enjoyed the journey. I am proud to leave the club as a united one and long may you all achieve the success that you deserve. Be lucky.”
