From the Ealing Gazzette:
QPR player-power has put paid to Neil Warnock becoming the Hoops fifth manager this season.
However, a move for the Crystal Palace boss, who made it plain this week his tenure in south London is all but finished, could be on the cards in May – especially as Rangers are understood to have sounded out Warnock three times in the last two seasons.
Although the former Sheffield United manager remains a firm favourite with the Hoops board, the Gazette understands loud rumblings from senior players have successfully pleaded to keep Mick Harford for the rest of the season – regardless of where Rangers end up in the Championship table.
Fans’ favourite Lee Cook broke ranks after the 1-0 defeat to Coventry on Saturday to publicly ask the same thing – and together with the near £1.5milllion compensation demanded by Palace, Harford looks set to keep his job.
A senior source said: “What it might do for the players morale if there were yet another manager is debatable.
“Money is also a factor, and not just the compensation, but a new manager’s wage demands as well.”
