Crystal Palace Let Sponsor Neteller Break News of New Manager Neil Warnock

Mark PattersonAug 27, 2014

Crystal Palace's appointment of Neil Warnock as their new manager was broken by the club's shirt sponsor, Neteller, in a bizarre move by the team.

The Premier League outfit announced before the confirmation that the Neteller account was the place to go for the news:

"

The club's new manager will be announced at 1.05pm @NETELLER

— Crystal Palace FC (@CPFC) August 27, 2014"

Sure enough, its confirmation came first:

"

BREAKING NEWS - @CPFC are delighted to announce that Neil Warnock has been appointed as their new manager with immediate effect #cpfc

— NETELLER (@NETELLER) August 27, 2014"

As a marketing ploy, we can only imagine Manchester United chief executive Ed Woodward is kicking himself that he didn't let Chevrolet reveal the Angel Di Maria deal.
