Neil Warnock has rejected comments made by Jason Puncheon that questioned his integrity.
Crystal Palace’s Puncheon, who played under manager Warnock while on loan at QPR in 2011, made claims about the 65-year-old on Twitter while responding to criticism of his penalty miss against Tottenham.
The 27-year-old, who is on loan at Palace from Southampton, posted several Tweets about Warnock, which he has since deleted.
“If it’s been suggested I have done anything untoward, I most certainly haven’t,” said Warnock, who could take legal action.
“He has made comments which I know nothing about. The matter is being addressed with him directly on my behalf.”
Puncheon was angered by comments Warnock made about him in his role as a Talksport pundit.
Referring to the player’s astonishing penalty miss, Warnock had said: “There’s no way I would’ve trusted him with a penalty.
“You’ve got to have somebody a little bit more cool and he’s not like that, Jason.”
