'Stunned' - Cardiff City fans pay tribute to departing Neil Warnock as supporters make ambition plea

Cardiff City have parted ways with Neil Warnock.

Warnock said: "Today I am leaving my beloved Bluebirds after over three years of which have been some of the best days in my long football career."

The club will begin their search for a new manager immediately. You can follow our .

It brings to an end an extraordinary period in the club's history, which has seen the Bluebirds go from the doldrums of the Championship to the highs of the Premier League.

Their stay in the top flight lasted just one term, though, and their return to the second tier has not gone to plan at all. They currently sit 14th, seven points off the play-offs. 

Warnock leaves Cardiff City Stadium by mutual consent. This is what supporters are saying in the aftermath of his departure...

Cardiff chairman Mehmet Dalman said of his departure: "On behalf of Cardiff City Football Club, I thank Neil for his invaluable contribution to the future of this great club.

"He not only gained promotion in his first season but played a pivotal role in uniting the fans and the club. I am personally upset by his departure and wish him the very best for the future."

Executive director and CEO Ken Choo added: "I’d like to thank Neil for his efforts over these past three years and indeed the immeasurable work he’s done to help us move forward.

"I’m sure Cardiff City fans will join me in sharing these sentiments, wishing him the very best for the future."
