Great full-back but not sure as a manager.
Rather him than Damage at right back though.
Bardsley meanwhile has expressed a desire to be considered for the role if Warnock doesn't make the switch to take over from caretaker boss Mick Halford.
The former Rangers full-back is now settled in Florida with his family working as a director of Orlando FC youth academy, but he says he would give it all up for a return to help out at Loftus Road.
"This is a great place to live and work and only the QPR job could bring me back to England," admitted the 45-year-old. "If I got a chance to go back there, I'd be on my knees tomorrow.
"My wife and three children wouldn't be able to come with me because of their commitments in America, but I would seriously love to talk to QPR about working there.
"I have a huge tie to the club and the fans and I want to see QPR back where they belong. I've kept my eye on what's been going on there for a number of years and it's something I have a real passion for.
"When I played at QPR there were no big time Charlies, no messing around. How the manager wanted it was how it had to be and that went back to Don Howe's time, then Gerry Francis.
"You've got to have a nucleus of players who know what playing for that club is all about - and that's what has been missing for years. It kills me to see it, but I believe it's still possible to get back to those days."
Bardsley made more than 250 appearances for QPR during a nine year stay at the club.
