Warnock slams 'pathetic' star bids

31 January 2010 10:30
Palace slid into administration this week with debts of around £30million and players need to be sold for the club to survive.[LNB]Teenage forward Victor Moses is already on his way to a Premier League club, believes to be Wigan, for a fee of £2.5million.[LNB]But Warnock hit out at some "pathetic" bids from top-flight clubs looking to take advantage of the Eagles' perilous position.[LNB]"Some of the offers we have had from clubs for some of our players have been disgusting, pathetic really," he said.[LNB]"I just hope the administrator is responsible with the offers because I know what I would do with them.[LNB]"One Premier League club offered £1.5million for Moses and Nathanial Clyne."[LNB]Neil Danns already has his suitors and will have added a few pounds onto his transfer value with two superb goals in today's 2-0 win over Peterborough.[LNB]The midfielder opened the scoring in the 28th minute, hooking the ball into the net with his back to goal.[LNB]And he killed off Posh in the 65th minute, controlling Darren Ambrose's chip on his chest, turning and slotting the ball past Joe Lewis.[LNB]"Southampton have made an offer for Neil and a couple of other clubs have made offers for other players," added Warnock.[LNB]"But, no disrespect to Southampton, who have already taken Jose Fonte off us, but that would be a backward step unless you want a few quid. And I think Neil Danns' career comes first.[LNB]"I'm aware of a couple of derisory offers for other players - and I don't think the administrator can put a gun to players' heads.[LNB]"The administrator has to be careful because whoever buys the club - and there are a few interested - are not going to want it decimated for a few pieces of silver."[LNB]Warnock's patched-up side put in a defiant display to end the worst week in their history on a high.[LNB]The manager led his players to the centre circle after the final whistle to lap up the applause and, for one or two, probably say goodbye.[LNB]But while the Eagles, who have been deducted 10 points due to their financial troubles, eased clear of the drop zone, Posh remain rock bottom.[LNB]"I can't question my players' effort and commitment, they worked their socks off all game," said boss Mark Cooper.[LNB]"But when we have our spells in the game we don't score and when we come under a little bit of pressure we concede - and that's not a recipe for success."[LNB][LNB]
