'Won't do you any good' - Neil Warnock responds to Djed Spence Twitter jibe

Neil Warnock has responded to a jibe aimed at him by Nottingham Forest loanee Djed Spence.

The Reds wing-back tweeted a picture of himself smoking a cigar after Forest's Championship play-off final win at Wembley, accompanying it with a message welcoming Warnock to Twitter after the 73-year-old signed up to the social media platform recently.

Warnock was the Middlesbrough manager who allowed Spence to leave the club on loan for Forest and, at the time, predicted that the future could quickly go south for his young defender if things didn't go well.

Warnock has now responded to Spence with some nice words for the Boro loanee, while finding time to have a little quip back about his cigar picture.

"Well done Djed, I did say you were Premier League or non-league, glad you listened and took my advice on board," Warnock said.

"Now go and enjoy your success. Those cigars won’t do you any good though son," he added, with an emoji of somebody winking.

Another figure to have made a jibe at Forest is Aly Kirchner, wife of incoming Derby County buyer Chris. She had something to say about the way Forest won the game at Wembley on Sunday.
