Neil Warnock insists his Crystal Palace players are not bothered by constant press speculation surrounding the club's finances.
A report in a national newspaper last week claimed the Eagles, who are still embargoed from buying players because of money owed to Ipswich Town for Alan Lee, had fallen behind in rent payments to Selhurst Park owners Rock Joint Ventures, who are in the hands of administrators PricewaterhouseCoopers.
Neither Palace nor PricewaterhouseCoopers have been willing to comment on the story but Warnock says the players are not affected by the adverse publicity.
"I haven't head anything new at the moment regarding the embargo and there is no news coming in or out," he said.
"The lads are focussed on playing and they know I will tell them anything they need to know and they don't need to worry about it.
"Obviously they read stuff but I don't think it bothers them."
