Rhys Healey controversy....


Neil Warnock:

"I disagree totally with what’s happened and I’m very, very annoyed with Graham at the moment if I’m honest."

"To ask a young lad to face the media and talk about Plymouth I think is totally out of order and I’ll be speaking to Rhys on Sunday. I don’t think he should have been placed in front of the media with the first question asking him whether he was going to Plymouth Argyle, he should be talking about Newport and it was totally unfair.

Plymouth have spoken to me as have a number of clubs, but the club has not spoken to Rhys – that’s been made up. He knew of the interest but he didn’t speak to them. His agent has spoken to clubs, which is normal for a young player out on loan.

I’d told Newport many weeks ago we have to do what’s right for the lad. We have to weigh up the pros and cons of whether we want the lad playing at a team at that end of the table or another challenge, either in another division – because a number of League One clubs have asked – or whether we want him to go to the other end of the League Two table, like Carlisle where Keith Curle has asked me, or Plymouth."
