Liverpool manager looking to sue Warnock

If you ask most people in football whether they like Neil Warnock, the answer is no. The current Crystal Palace manager seems to find it easier to make enemies rather than friends, which is a shame as he’s actually a very nice bloke when you get to know him. The Guardian reports that Rafael Benitez has consulted his lawyer after the former Sheffield United boss questioned the Liverpool manager’s integrity in a recent newspaper column.
Benítez bristled at a question about Warnock’s comments and said: ‘Somebody told me [about them]. We knew he was bad as a manager and prehistoric, but we didn’t know he was a person like this. I will speak to my lawyer. We don’t need to waste time with him.’
It’s clear that Warnock is still bitter about the Blades’ relegation last season on the final day of the season. One of their relegation rivals was Fulham, who achieved a 1-0 win over a weakened Reds team. However, Benitez was not the first and certainly won’t be the last manager to do this when there are crucial games on the horizon. And anyhow, what exactly constitutes a weakened team when you have two players for every position anyway?

warnock fielded a ‘weak’ team at old trafford a couple of weeks prior to the LFC V fulham game asserting that this was a game they could not win so why risk players. i assume that this could have had a bearing on utd`s title rivals bid for the PL. what a hypocrit this tool is! I think his constant reference to this is childish and must be an embarasment to simon jordon and the palace fans. if this guy managed my team i would want him to concentrate on us not harping on about an old grudge like some div who cant get over being chucked by a bird
get over it warnock you handbag!
