Neil Warnock
New QPR manager Neil Warnock has promised not to poach Crystal Palace for any players.
Warnock was installed as the new Rangers boss after agreeing a compensation package to leave the Eagles - against the wishes of administrator Brendan Guilfoyle.
He faces a challenge to keep the R's in the Championship but has vowed not to take any of his old playing staff at Selhurst Park to help him.
"I don't want to do anything that will disrupt Palace's challenge," said Warnock. "I want both clubs to stay up this season. It is my dream scenario.
"There are a good bunch of lads at Palace. I know them inside out. They definitely have enough mettle and commitment to stay up. I'm going to try and install the same qualities in the players I have now."
Guilfoyle claimed Warnock's "focus was no longer on securing the club's status in the Championship".
But Warnock hit back, saying: "I saw the statement put out and there is only so much I can say at the moment but I don't think the Palace fans are daft. When they see what I will say about it, they will realise what really happened.
"I'm having my first QPR press conference tomorrow so I will make one or two comments but Palace want to gag me from saying anything so I have to be careful.
"But I want to make it clear that Palace is the best club I have ever been at in terms of the supporters. I'm hoping to have the same thing at QPR."
