The 64-year-old offered his resignation to GFH Capital in the wake of United's 2-1 defeat to Derby and the club later confirmed his departure following a 13-month stint in a statement. Academy boss Neil Redfearn has been asked to take over first-team affairs, with the club saying that the former Barnsley captain would do so until a successor was found.You have to be careful what you wish for as a fan - the majority appreciate the job I have done and I speak to a lot, but you always get a minority. I've always wanted to take the club up and I am so frustrated this year I would stay with the supporters (on side) but it won't come to that. GFH know the situation.As things stand that would cover the remaining six games and the outgoing Warnock has publicly said that a suitable candidate might not be available until the summer. That does not apply to the out-of-work McDermott, who talked up the merits of the Leeds job when asked at the weekend. Brighton's Gus Poyet has also previously said it is a position he would relish.Whether he or GFH will choose the new man remains to be seen, but the job currently belongs to Redfearn who had a four-game spell in charge of Leeds last season while the club sounded out Warnock as a replacement for Simon Grayson, winning two and losing two.Redfearn's first task is a trip to Charlton which comes on the back of the Derby defeat, which was soundtracked by cat calls from Warnock's own supporters asking him to leave.
