New QPR chief fumes at Palace administrator
Neil Warnock has hit back at Crystal Palace's administrator after he was presented to the media as Queens Park Rangers' new manager.
Warnock took charge of QPR earlier this week after they agreed a compensation deal with Palace, who later appointed former Loftus Road boss Paul Hart.
At the press conference to unveil Hart, Palace administrator Brendan Guilfoyle stated that Warnock had told him that he did not have the fight left in him anymore.
But speaking on
Sky Sports News, Warnock hit back at Guilfoyle's suggestions.
"When he introduced Paul Hart, when they asked why him, he said 'Well I am an accountant' and I think that sums it up," he said.
"I don't think any other administrator would have touched it [Palace] to be honest, because it wasn't fair. We should not have had the points taken off us, the people who have put it into administration are not going to get their money any earlier, so I don't understand why."
Warnock insists his position at the club had become untenable following the appointment of the administrator.
"When he first came in, he said that new owners could come in at any time and they might want their own manager," he said.
"It has been very difficult working with him. A few of my former chairmen have said similar things when I have left, which is really talking to justify what they have done. They have got a very, very good compensation fee for me and I don't think he turned up his nose at that.
Anger
"And the biggest thing for me, when we have been scratching around, is that I found out that the agent the administrator brought in got £100,000 for selling Victor Moses for £2miillion. I could have sold him in my sleep and I could not get my head around it.
"There comes a time when you have to think that my family comes first - and while I will miss it, as they are the best friends I have worked with, I want to get my life geared to helping this club (QPR) go forward and take it forward.
"I want to manage in the Premier League again before I retire and I don't have many Premier League clubs knocking on the door."
New chairman Ishan Saksena is keen to steer the club away from the revolving door of managers under Flavio Briatore.
"QPR has a history of being a family club so I want to welcome Neil as the latest member of the QPR family," he said.
"It is important to bring back stability - he will bring that back and lead the way in a bright future for the club.
"He is the complete package as a manager and was always our number one choice."
