Beckham spent five years in the United States with Los Angeles Galaxy but his contract with the Major League Soccer club will ends in two months' time which means he will be free to negotiate a return to the Premier League and he has said that playing for a club other than Manchester United in England's top flight would be difficult for him.
Fernandes stated on Twitter on wednesday that he doesnt think having David Beckham in the club is a bad Idea and it would be great to have him in the club "I think having someone like David in the club would be great. Was always in my thoughts." Said Fernandes.
And now Warnock has followed that up by saying "anything is possible" now Fernandes is in charge at Loftus Road.
Warnock was quoted in the Daily Telegraph as saying: "About three weeks ago I would not have dreamed to sign Joey Barton so I will never write anything off.
"The chairman Tony Fernandes has got such [an opinion] - why accept the average when you can reach for the top? That is how he is.
"It came out of the blue. I think anything is possible. He is a very astute businessman.''
However at a press conference on Thursday, Warnock appeared to try and put distance between himself and a move for Beckham.
"It is not a discussion [Tony and I] have had,'' he said. "I mean obviously it is good news for you lads I suppose and nothing much surprises me at the club but it's not something we've talked about, not myself anyhow.''
Asked what he would do if Fernandes offered him the player, he retorted: "I think you will have to ask me as and when. I've got enough problems worrying about Newcastle (on Monday), I don't want to worry about that (as well).
"We can't sign him anyhow, we can't sign anybody else now until January so why worry? I think he is a fabulous professional. I think he has been a great asset to English football, I like him as a person but ask me in January.''
