Neil Warnock has dismissed any suggestion that Brexit will harm the chances of Premier League clubs signing players from abroad, before launching into a scathing assessment of Theresa May's handling of Brexit negotiations.

There have been some suggestions that leaving the EU could have an impact on British clubs signing players from the continent, but the Yorkshireman insists that football - and the rest of the country - will be better off.

And, following the 0-0 draw with Huddersfield, Warnock slammed politicians' handling of the process, with MP's set to vote on the prime minister's deal for a withdrawal from the EU next week.

Asked whether Brexit could have a potential impact on transfers, Warnock replied: "I think any transfer window's difficult for me. Not just this one. I don't think the chairman has ever worked so hard to get me players and the chief executive. It's so difficult and it stuck out like a sore thumb.

"I think once the country knows what they're doing and we get an agreement and move on, I think it will be straightforward [to sign players].

"But I don't know why politicians don't do what the country wanted if I'm honest. They had a referendum and now we see politicians and everyone else trying to put their foot in it.

"Why did we have a referendum in the first bloody place? I can't wait to get out if I'm honest. I think we'll be far better out of the bloody thing. In every aspect. To hell with the rest of the world.

"Football-wise as well."

Warnock certainly has found it difficult to strengthen his side in this January window, but says the club remains optimistic on bringing new faces in, with a striker still at the top of his shopping list.

"We're hopeful. But you won't go home tonight and hear me on the radio telling you about a new signing.

"We've got three main targets now, but we thought we had a midfielder signed last week and that fell through.

"I don't think you can say anything until they're actually sat in your office signing the papers.

"Agents get a sniff elsewhere, with better deals. That's the job we're in at the minute."
