"I've never seen Simon as disillusioned as I did last week," Warnock told the Daily Mirror.
"He's still enthusiastic about Palace, but he feels utterly saddened by the way football is heading.
"He was devastated, absolutely rock bottom, because he loves the academy and he knows how important it is to the club.
"But he's questioning himself now and saying, 'I don't know whether I want to be involved in the game any more if it's like this'. And I think he's being serious."
