Warnock sets himself job deadline
Former Sheffield United manager Neil Warnock
Warnock is keen toget back into the game
Neil Warnock has given himself until Christmas to find a job that will tempt him back into football.

Warnock quit as Sheffield United boss after their relegation from the Premier League at the end of last season.

He told BBC Five Live: "I didn't want to rush into the first job that came along. I've had chats with a couple of clubs and it didn't feel right.

"If I don't get the right job offer before Christmas, I'll go back to Cornwall and do my media work."

Warnock spent eight years in charge at Sheffield United, the club he supported as a boy.

His managerial career began at Scarborough and took in spells at Notts County, Huddersfield, Plymouth, Oldham and Bury.

Warnock admitted he still feels aggrieved about the circumstances of United's relegation last season, when Carlos Tevez-inspired West Ham performed their great escape.

Warnock said: "I think everyone in the world, including West Ham fans, know it was a fiddle, they got away with it and we were stitched up.

"For me, he was, and always will be, ineligible to play in those games he did for West Ham.

"I will never forget the Premier League commission saying that at any other time they would have deducted points, but they felt sorry for West Ham fans."

Warnock also expressed his disappointment at Liverpool and Manchester United resting key players in the games against Fulham and West Ham respectively.

"My biggest disappointment was Rafa Benitez playing nine Liverpool reserves against Fulham," said Warnock.

"I don't recall Fulham getting another point after that game.

"Sir Alex Ferguon phoned me to explain that they should have won with the side they had out, but I told him of the massive lift it must have been in the West Ham dressing room and discover there was no Ferdinand, Scholes, Rooney or Ronaldo."
