29 April 2009 13:15
Steve Coppell's side will gain automatic promotion on Sunday if they beat Birmingham and Palace avoid defeat against Sheffield United at Selhurst Park. Downes - who was charged by the FA with improper conduct after a confrontation with Warnock in 2007 - told the Reading Evening Post: "I would shake him warmly by the throat if he helps us go up. "I have no idea how Neil will prepare for it, but Palace will want to finish off well enough in front of their fans. "Two managers want to win, two sets of fans want to win. There is no question about the commitment of both sides. They will play the same way we will play our game. "All we can do is prepare for Sunday. If we go up we start preparing for the Premiership and if we don't then you start again in the play-offs. You have to go another three games which will be great."
