Liverpool lack class! Neil Warnock blasts Reds over Nathaniel Clyne transfer 'promise'

Cardiff manager Neil Warnock has blasted Liverpool for "lacking class" following Nathaniel Clyne's loan move to Bournemouth on Friday.

England international Clyne will stay at the Vitality Stadium until the end of the current campaign and was registered in time to make his debut against Brighton in the FA Cup on Saturday.

But Warnock has claimed he was "promised" Clyne would instead make a loan move to Cardiff until summer, before learning on TV of his Cherries switch.

"I’m disappointed with Nathaniel Clyne and Liverpool," Warnock said.

"To see on TV he’s gone to Bournemouth when I’ve been promised he’s my player is for me a disgrace and a lack of class."

The Cardiff boss was speaking after watching his side lose 1-0 to Gillingham in the FA Cup.

Warnock made seven changes for the game at League One Gillingham.

Sean Morrison, Bruno Ecuele Manga, Bobby Reid and Callum Paterson were the only players retained from the 3-0 defeat to Tottenham.
