Warnock's side started the season well but just one win since the end of September has left Palace in the bottom three, level on points with Burnley and one point from safety. Palace play fellow strugglers QPR tomorrow. UPDATE: 12.08pm: Crystal Palace have released a short statement confirming Warnock's departure

Crystal Palace Football Club can today confirm that Neil Warnock has been relieved of his duties and is no longer first-team manager.

The club would like to put on record its thanks to Neil for all his hard work and energy over the past four months.
