The Times/Gary Jacob - Neil Warnock poised to take over as QPR manager
Warnock claims to have been affected by the uncertainty over Palace's future
- Neil Warnock could be manager of Queens Park Rangers by Thursday. The West London club are believed to want the Crystal Palace manager to take over at Loftus Road but he is unlikely to ask to leave until after Palace play Aston Villa in an FA Cup fifth-round replay on Wednesday. QPR are yet to make a formal approach to Palace for his services.
- Warnock claims to have been affected by the uncertainty over Palace’s future. From the fringes of the Coca-Cola Championship play-offs, the team have slipped into the relegation zone on the back of a deduction of ten points for entering administration last month and consecutive defeats in the past week. Warnock’s contract does not make it clear what level of compensation QPR would need to pay to secure him.
- Brendan Guilfoyle, of The P&A Partnership and the club’s administrator, wants Warnock to stay and has put the onus on him to ask to leave. Guilfoyle has held talks with three interested parties and hopes for a deal in the next month, but the club’s value will be affected by the threat of relegation to League One. It will also affect Simon Jordan, the chairman who is the club’s largest creditor and has been trying to persuade Warnock to stay until the summer.
- Better news is that PricewaterhouseCoopers, the administrator of the company that owns Selhurst Park, appears willing to offer potential buyers a new lease on better terms with an option to buy the ground. Times
