Warnock statement post sacking. Following the announcement of his departure, Warnock said: “I’ve had a great time and I am proud. The fans were amazing. Just look at them today. “You have a couple who moan which you always get. But you look at us today and we had such a small squad with kids on the bench. “It’s such a competitive league. But the fans have been great. “We’ve had some good times here, some frustrating times as well because I know we should be up there, but that’s life.” Boro have failed to win in their last four fixtures, however still sit just four points adrift of the top six. Despite this, Warnock admitted he had been told he would be leaving the club before his match-up against The Baggies. “I was told this morning that I was leaving the club today,” he revealed. “They’re going in a different direction, which is their prerogative, [Chairman] Steve [Gibson]’s prerogative. They’ve got someone to come in, I’ve had his name mentioned the last few weeks.” “I’m disappointed in the fact that I felt that, apart from Steve, I haven’t had much support at the club, bringing players in. “I can see that they want to look further than this season, but I think if I’d have had support behind the scenes I think we could’ve done it [achieved promotion] this season. Warnock has always maintained the possibility of calling it a day at the end of the season, however, now his mid-season exit has forced him to think otherwise. He added: “You never say never. I thought this season would be my end, but it’s not the end of the season is it? |  |
