Warnock goes

For Warnock, he said he wants one last challenge, as he announced his departure from Sheffield United after some seven and a half years in charge since he left Bury to replace Adrian Heath in December 1999.

He's never been a low profile manager, and he's very much been targeted by Burnley fans over the last few years with our two managers, he and Stan Ternent, often at loggerheads which started following an incident when Ternent was in charge of Hull City.

He wasn't the only manager to have a dislike of the Sheffield United boss, at times there look to have been a queue of them waiting to speak out against him, and there's no doubt that the Burnley fans aren't the only supporters to have made wild suggestions of his personal life in chants over the years, often using his nickname of Colin.

Warnock though spoke well at this morning's press conference, certainly much better than his Chairman, and he now awaits, as he said, that last challenge. For us, games against Sheffield United will never be the same, and without Blackwell in our division as well we can expect there to be no one sneaking round outside our dressing room at Bramall Lane.
