Neil Warnock has held nothing back in his criticism of both Nathaniel Clyne and Liverpool after the right-back’s loan move to Bournemouth.
Warnock has slammed the outcome after being led to believe that Clyne was on his way to Cardiff City until the end of the season.
The Bluebirds boss has accused Liverpool of displaying a lack of class after missing out on one of his key targets in his attempt to keep the Welsh side in the Premier League.

Emotions were running high following Cardiff’s shock FA Cup exit at the hands of League One Gillingham on Saturday and that’s when Warnock, who handed Clyne his professional debut, laid into the Reds for leading him on.
“We’ve almost agreed terms for one particularly player, but I was disappointed with Nathaniel Clyne,” Warnock said, via Wales Online.
“Having known the player and given him his debut, I’m disappointed not just with the boy himself but with Liverpool as well for not ringing me.

“To see it on television when I’ve done everything right and they’ve promised that he’s my player this week, it’s a disgrace for me, it’s a lack of class isn’t it?
“But listen, we’re not going to get any favours, whether it’s on the pitch or off it and we’re always up against it and that’s when we’re good.
“I probably should have been illegally tapping him him, but I’ve done everything right and then Bournemouth come in and I suppose Bournemouth paying £19 million for (Dominic) Solanke probably whetted their appetite a little bit.”
