Seriously this is bad news for the campaign to remove Wednesday from the league. I'd have backed Warnock's Palace to muster up enough points to finish above the unclean but I fear they may be rudderless now.
"There is no way I am going to walk out. If they can agree compensation then that's different."
And a big fat signing-on bonus obviously.
Queens Park Rangers have confirmed the appointment of Neil Warnock as their new manager on a three-and-a-half-year deal.
I think it would be wholly wrong to suggest Neil would ever, ever, ever think of himself before Crystal Palace or any other club he happens to be managing at the time.
I really can't see QPR and Neil Warnock going together, I'm not sure they see themselves in a muck and nettles stylee.
Warnock's done all right with this one. a 31/2 year contract with a club that has a track record of sacking its managers every 8 games? That's a no-brainer if ever there was one!
Warnock Bingo!
You will know by now I am making the short trip (only about two hours by car) across London from Crystal Palace to QPR.
Leaving a club in administration for one with huge potential must look an easy decision but it has been one of the most difficult of my career, and there's been a few. The reason I am sad, as well as excited, is that of all the clubs I have been at the fans at Crystal Palace have been the best.
It's easy to say, but I'm not just saying it because I'm leaving. The support they have given me and the players during a very difficult few months, and beforehand, has been fantastic and it is something I will never forget. As everyone knows, I'm a northerner, and we all think that's the only hotbed of football, but after managing Palace I know better.
It is hardly a secret that QPR have been after me for a while. It's nice to be wanted and they made it clear I was their only choice which is a fantastic vote of confidence. They would not take "no" for an answer. But although I had been advised I could have just walked out on Palace I did not want to sell them short and the reason this has gone on so long is that I wanted both clubs to be in agreement before I moved.
I owe a lot to Palace. They have rekindled my enthusiasm for management. If it was not for Simon Jordan there is no way I would have come to London (and realised it's not such a bad place after all) and regained my desire to get back in to the Premier League.
QPR is a great challenge, the type I revel in. It has been a poisoned chalice for many managers recently but with new people taking over I feel I can give them the stability I know the fans and players have been craving. It is a club with a great tradition and a ground I’ve always enjoyed going to. All I can promise is all I ever promise: I’ll do my best.
and he's already asking after Henderson on loan with view to a permanent deal.
I'll go get the car warmed up :thumbup:
Looking at 606, the Palace fans don't seem to have much bad feeling for him leaving, despite many claiming that they'd be doomed if he went. They might have a point with Hart in charge.
Understandable decision on Warnock's part really, a nearby club with a lot more resources. he keeps them up and he's a saviour, if they go down it's not his fault, prob on a lot of money to set himself up for retirement.
He says he wants one last crack at the Prem. He'll have to work fast, but good luck to him that corrupt league will be better off with him in it.
