Crystal Palace boss Neil Warnock "can't afford" to comment on FA fine

Crystal Palace manager Neil Warnock has refused to comment on his recent Football Association fine because he "can't afford to".

The 65-year-old was forced to pay £9,000 for his comments about referee Craig Pawson.

Warnock suggested that the match official was influenced by Chelsea's players when he opted to send off Damien Delaney during Palace's 2-1 defeat to the Blues at Selhurst Park last month.

In today's press conference, when asked for his reaction following the fine, Warnock said: "I don't want to comment on that. I can't afford to."

Palace currently sit 17th in the Premier League table after 10 games.
