Warnock set for talks on future

18 February 2010 08:37
Warnock has this week admitted his position is uncertain after the Eagles went into administration and were deducted 10 points, plunging them into the relegation scrap.[LNB]And with mega-rich west Londoners QPR apparently casting glances in his direction, the 61-year-old could be forgiven for deciding the grass is greener on the other side of the Thames.[LNB]Reading's 3-1 win at Selhurst Park on Wednesday night left the Eagles outside the bottom three on goal difference alone.[LNB]Warnock once again refused to comment on speculation linking him with a move, but his position should become clearer after talks with administrator Brendan Guilfoyle, who has said he will resist any offer for the manager.[LNB]"I'm not going to comment on what he's said. I'll be speaking to him tomorrow morning," said Warnock.[LNB]"Until I speak to him then I haven't got a clue about that."[LNB]Simon Church hit a well-taken double either side of Jimmy Kebe's strike to secure a fourth straight Championship win for the resurgent Royals.[LNB]Warnock was irritated by his side's defending, and in typical style also threw in a word or two about referee Dean Whitestone for good measure.[LNB]"I don't enjoy losing - I've still gone in to see the ref tonight and tried to educate him, they were conning fouls" he added.[LNB]"Goals change games and you can't legislate for schoolboy defending. If we defend like that we won't beat anybody."[LNB]Substitute Sean Scannell pulled one back for Palace but they could not prevent Reading leapfrogging them out of the drop zone and up to the heady heights of 18th place.[LNB]"We knew it was a big game because of where it could put us in the table and I'm pleased with our performance because this is a tough, tough place to come," said manager Brian McDermott.[LNB]"Churchy got two goals but the whole squad stepped up tonight - our resolve was excellent.[LNB]"We're proud as a group of our run but the players are the ones who have to play and compete - and they are playing some good football too."[LNB]It could have been so different had keeper Adam Federici not somehow kept out a point-blank volley from Darren Ambrose after just five minutes.[LNB]"Goalkeepers can win games too," added McDermott. "It was a great save."[LNB][LNB]
