Streatham Guardian - Warnock saga takes another turn

If Neil Warnock is on the brink of going to Queens Park Rangers he has done a good job keeping everyone guessing.
The Crystal Palace manager refused to speak about stories linking him with the West London club on Saturday and the press present were certain he would be joining the Hoops after tomorrow's FA Cup game.
However, the 61-year-old was in a much more flamboyant and upbeat mood in his press conference today and certainly did not seem like someone about to walk out on the club, leaving journalists in complete bewilderment at what the future holds.
Although press were barred from asking him about QPR, Warnock did reveal he already has his hotel room booked for Saturday's league trip to Doncaster Rovers.
"There's nought we can do about the speculation really," he said.
"I'm seeing my best mate on Friday night at the hotel in Doncaster if that's any consolation, it's all booked."
Warnock's new found commitment to the Palace cause was highlighted even further when he revealed he had asked the Football League for special dispensation to sign someone on loan as he had just 19 fit players left.
The league refused because the Eagles are under embargo and need to have less than 14 fit professionals to get the loan, leaving Warnock to contemplated whether or not to rest players against Aston Villa.
"If there is any doubt over anybody tomorrow I don't want to play them if I can as I want them all for Saturday," he said.
"The players know that I think Doncaster is far more important.
"There is one particular player who am I thinking of leaving out who has given so much over the last few months I just feel he needs a rest."
He may not be the only one needing a rest if the Warnock will-he-won't-he saga goes on much longer.
