Warnock's Kelly Comments Not Warranted

It is claimed that the fourth official heard him shout: 'Next time I hope he breaks his f****** leg.' After a challenge just before half-time between Leeds' Gary Kelly and Blades defender Craig Short.

Managers have stated that the Sheffield United boss has shouted instructions to his players to 'do' an opponent as far back as 1987 when he was in charge at non-league Scarborough. This has apparently continued to this day.

Warnock dismisses the claims, saying that things are said in the heat of the moment and he does not mean any of it.
