Cardiff City goalkeeper Neil Etheridge says the players want manager Neil Warnock to stay.

Warnock has one year left on his Cardiff deal and, having consistently said that he would like to see his contract out, he responded to relegation by saying he will "let things settle" in terms of discussing his future.

"His stats speak for themselves - eight promotions," Cardiff goalkeeper Etheridge said of Warnock.

"He's a fantastic man-manager and knows exactly what to do.

"He's been in the game long enough to know what players need, whether it's a kick up the backside or an arm around them.

"As players, we want him to stay. But that's a decision for him, not for us, and it's something he'll reflect on this summer."
