Warnock, 63, wouldn’t rise to the bait on BBC1’s Football Focus yesterday and decided instead to keep his dignity – although he did laugh about watching the film blockbuster Warhorse, where the horse is called Joey.
He said: “It does take a little bit away. But nothing is going to detract from my memories because they’re fabulous memories.
“Would I sign him again? He’s a very good player and a very good trainer. So no comment. But I went to see Warhorse and the name of the horse is Joey.
“I think enough has been said over the last 48 hours. It’s not going to detract from what is a fabulous club.
“I enjoyed every minute. It’s been the toughest job I have ever had. I’m not going to get involved.
“The fans have been fantastic and I have had so many messages and I’m so supportive of the owners.
“I’m not a big fan of Tweeting. Everyone knows that. I can’t see me going on that.”
But panellist and Arsenal legend Lee Dixon put the boot into football’s notorious bad boy for showing a lack of respect towards Warnock.
Dixon said: “I was always brought up to respect managers.
“Sometimes you don’t like a manager. I had run-ins with George Graham. You don’t like the manager but there’s always respect there.
“To come out and say things after the event, I think it should be kept in-house.
“There should be respect. That’s how I was brought up and that’s what I believe in.”
