"Warnock: "I don't have a desire to prove people wrong, as such, because if you take a look at my Premier League record it's not too bad. "With Sheffield United we actually had 38 points - and didn't do anything wrong like West Ham did with Carlos Tevez, which saw us being relegated. "At Queens Park Rangers we were never in the bottom three. I got the sack because a certain person was touting Mark Hughes for the job. The club ended up losing £200m after I left. "I only joined Crystal Palace in July and was given just a few months. Even with them I didn't do too badly."

I'm glad he said that. I had a biased memory of his failure at Premiership level. Seems it was misjudged.
