Warnock built up a reputation for giving match officials a tough time over the years and also consistently wound up opposition fans, so he is glad to start his UK tour in what he called friendly areas.
Asked if he would return to management Warnock told : "No, I've got one or two interesting things lined up.
"I'm looking forward to doing a few 'Evening with...' things around the country.
"I'm going to do one in Cardiff and one in Sheffield in September, they're the friendly places."
