Speculation had been surrounding the 72-year-old ahead of today’s Championship game against West Bromwich Albion in which Boro were able to claim a creditable draw after Josh Coburn scored his second goal in a week.
But the result still leaves Boro languishing in the bottom half of the Championship table with supporters at the Riverside yet to be convinced this season by their side.

Hide Ad@Boro_Brick_Road: Honestly shocked I honestly expected him to stay until the end of the season thanks Neil #Warnock came in and saved us from relegation
@cdurant92: Brilliant man. Achieved what he came to do, to prevent the inevitable relegation and stable the club. #utb #Boro
@justcalledtosay: Finally. Appreciative of him helping us to survival but he’s been out of his depth this season. Next decision is a big one. One that needs to unite the fans. We can’t bring in a devise figure.
@MichaelTG91: Goodbye Neil, I like and will remain to like Neil as a person, but it was time for a change. He achieved his goal with @Boro keeping us up. Goodbye Neil Warnock.
