    NEIL Warnock knew the writing was on the wall the second he saw an 8am text from chairman Tony Fernandes on Sunday.

    The manager was formally axed two hours later in his own living room after a miserable run of nine games without a win leaving Rangers hovering just a point above the Premier League drop zone.

    “Of course, I knew what was coming,” said Warnock. “Tony asked to meet him at the ground, but I asked him to come to my house instead.

    “He came around 10am, and was embarrassed. But all I asked for was a bit of delay in announcing the news while I told my friends and family.”

    The ex-manager had no axe to grind against the chairmen who took over in August, but was pretty sure he might forego any new supremo so keen on tweeting.

    ‘He’s fond of all that,” said Warnock. “And I know it’s the modern way, but I’m not so sure the football world has room for many more all throwing out instant messages.

    “But it’s been a great time at QPR and I can’t thank the fans enough for all their support – they are truly a magnificent bunch.”

    From the headline/title I dreaded opening this, but fair play to Neil. Also to Tony for doing this face to face. Good luck to both.

    I miss the guy already!! Don't know how realistic it is, but I would really love to see him brought back to the club in some capacity in the near future.. I guess a lot depends on whether he's thinking about retiring from frontline management now.

    Think we can all agree that Neil has done a fantastic job for us and i for one wouldn't mind seeing him retire and do a bit of punditry if he wants.
    He's earned it and has nothing to be ashamed of.
