Why did Warnock join QPR ?

[MYU]

Maybe the board have supported him but because he's been in the business so long he knows the true value of a player? Who's to say that he is being savvy knowing that if he gets taken for a mug on transfer 1 he'll get ripped off there after. It happened with Chelsea and it's happening with Man City. You pay over the odds for a player and soon every club catches onto the fact that a club has money and they'll spend regardless.

Was De Jong with just 6 months to go of his contract really worth the £18m that City paid for him? Nope but after their other transfer dealings every club selling to Man City will expect big bucks for their players. As I said, Warnock has been in this game for long enough not to taken for a fool. He has stated that the £750k is a fair offer for Darren Ambrose. Maybe he thinks that £1.5m is all that McAnuff is worth and won't pander to the likes of Crystal Palace or Reading. If he or even the board went crazy and upped their bids for these players the likes of Spurs for Taraabt or Arsenal for Simpson or even Doncaster for Woods would all expect silly money for their players too.

Absolutly spot on, top post.
