Crystal Palace manager Alan Pardew has hit out at his predecessor by claiming that he is "not really interested" in Neil Warnock's claims that the club should sign Charlie Austin from Queens Park Rangers.

Earlier this week, Warnock, who was replaced by Pardew at Palace over a year ago, revealed that he has advised Austin to pick Palace should the Eagles come in for him this month.

However, Pardew has dismissed any chance of a transfer by telling reporters: "Neil Warnock was manager here and he didn't do very well so I am not really interested in his opinion. Charlie Austin is of no interest to us."

Pardew also claimed that most of the recent transfer rumours involving his club are "false".
