Brendan Guilfoyle

Crystal Palace have claimed Neil Warnock's switch to QPR has yet to be ratified.

Warnock was announced as the new Rangers manager on Monday night and Palace confirmed it on their official website shortly afterwards.

But Brendan Guilfoyle, the administrator at Selhurst Park, has issued a statement saying terms of the deal are yet to be finalised.

"The club is aware of the statement issued by Queens Park Rangers last night,'' said Guilfoyle. "The club believes that this is somewhat premature.

"Discussions are ongoing regarding the release of Neil Warnock and members of his managerial team but these remain subject to agreement of relevant documentation.''
