Palace cut for drop as Warnock takes reins
Even on the day of Warnock’s appointment, when it became clear it was just a two-horse race, Clarke was a 1-6 poke, but it was the former Sheffield United man who got the gig.
Warnock is a manager who has always divided opinion, but Ladbrokes’ view is clear and they have cut Palace from 7-4 to 6-4 for relegation from the Premier League this season.
Other firms have gone one step further, shortening the Selhurst Park outfit to 5-4 for the drop while bet365 make them 1-14 to finish in the bottom half.
Warnock is rated a 13-8 shot to see out his two-year contract and Palace can be backed at 10-11 to achieve a higher finishing position than his former side QPR.
