- London Informer/Paul Warburton - Well-travelled Warnock comes at quite a price for QPR- QPR ARE torn over whether to cough up a whopping £2million to bring Neil Warnock to the club as their new manager - or go for a much cheaper option.
- The Crystal Palace boss has jumped to the head of the queue after Rangers cooled over moves to reunite Luigi Di Canio with caretaker boss Gareth Ainsworth.
- Fans' favourite Ainsworth will be retained in some coaching capacity, but Rs have dropped interest in their former Italian manager, who left the club last summer.- However, Warnock openly praised the set-up he found at Rangers when he visited for the 0-0 draw between Hoops and Palace at the beginning of the month.
- He has friends on the Rs board - but the fly in the ointment is around £1m in compensation the Eagles will ask for the much-travelled coach as well as Warnock's own wage demands.
- Your favourite local paper has learned owner Flavio Briatore is warming to the idea of the 60-year-old taking over, even though he knows he will get a larger than life character that regularly hits the headlines for better or worse.
- The QPR chairman is in no hurry to appoint, however, while he mulls over 20-plus applications from a host of top names. Luiz Felipe Scolari, Sven Goran-Eriksson and Roy Keane are three of the latest to be linked with the job - none are likely to be interviewed.
- * QPR WILL make around £100,000 from a five-day tour to Bahrain at the end of the season as part of their sponsored tie-in with Gulf Air.
- The Hoops fly out just two days after their final game of the season at Preston, with one or two grumbling over cancelled private holiday arrangements. However, even the walking wounded will be the club's ambassadors on the tour that sees them take on the Bahrain national team on May 7. London Informer

- “So I’ve decided to commit myself to another year.
- “The biggest factor in my decision has been the fans.
- "I think they know that I’m the best person to turn it round and push it in the other direction."

Croydon ADvertiser/Richard Cawley - Warnock: Fans made me sign new deal
- NEIL Warnock has ended any doubts over his future by agreeing a 12-month extension at Crystal Palace.
- And the Eagles manager, who will now be at Selhurst Park until 2011, says the support shown by the club’s fans was vitally important in him putting pen to paper.
- Warnock, who has been linked with vacancies at Ipswich and QPR in recent weeks, said: “There has been so much talk about other clubs and I just thought it made sense to do this now so that there is stability and things don’t just blow up in everyone’s face like the last few months at Charlton.
- “When you look at the teams coming down from the Premier League, the sides coming up and the likes of Ipswich and QPR are all going to have masses of money and probably our best chance will be by me giving a bit of stability which will help with getting players in.
- “But the main reason for signing is the fans - it’s amazing how supportive they have been. They understand the plight we’re in and that I’m probably the best person to get them out of that.
- “One of my mates is a Palace fan and keeps asking for me to have another year - and my kids were putting me under pressure too because they are loving it in London as well.”
