Club statement + update

[Rangers77]

Les looks seriously f acked off. Not a word of support for Jimmy.

[Jimmy Floyd Rabbit]

Could be waffle. Get my 55k then say sorry mate not what we're looking for. That's the problem, it's not clear cut.

Actually think the club is acting well here. Yes I believe the position of JFH is fast becoming untenable but they cannot sack him for something it can't be proven he has done. Football wise it isn't great and in coming weeks he could be gone anyway but had we sacked him last night without full facts the club would have been hung out to dry by tonight without full hard evidence. Hoo's comes across very well Les seems nervous but very good idea to do the video.

[Bill]

Cant work out why the Telegraph are doing this, why are they refusing to hand over everything they have to the clubs involved?
What are they getting out of this, just paper sales and publicity by the looks of it, cos if they are doing it to clean up the game then hand over the lot so clubs can act and sack immediately.
Acting more Sun like than The Sun ever has.

Maybe the Telegraph have more evidence that is much more conclusive and are just waiting to see how the various clubs react
and dependent on their reaction will determine whether the Telegraph release this possible info.
This would also determine how robust the clubs investigations are and also how deep this corruption is

[Kevin Mcleod]

Could well be that Bill.

[Stanley]

I'm quite impressed with how they both come across here, given the circumstances.

[Kevin Mcleod]

Club looks in great hands doesnt it mate.
If we could get a manager to get us playing and get us up, we really could become a prem regular and financially stable club..

[James1979]

What I really struggle with is why the telegraph would release something as a major headline that they know will result in people losing jobs if they do not have sufficient evidence. Presume their legal team there makes final call. And by the same token, why would Jimmy deny it if he has done something wrong if he knows full content will prove his guilt.

Perhaps Les looks angry, but I wouldn't say nervous. He's never been particularly articulate which I think some misconstrue as nerves. Obviously it's an important interview though, so they're both having to choose their words carefully.

I think Les looks totally fu(ked off. Probably feels let down as it also reflects on him and ultimately the club. I'd imagine the owners are fuming after doing a lot to try and improve things and relations with the FA. Yes the board collectively have made very bad decisions over the last 4/5 years but at least they have reinvested the losses they have incurred through bad management and bad financial decisions. Much more than Chris Wright ever did. They could have done a runner like the Portsmouth owner did. But are visibly trying to make it work by investing long term into training ground and possible stadium. Whether these housing developments will be owned by QPR or the owners themselves remains to be seen. But in the last year and a half they have made great effort to turn things around at a sensible rate. TBH things look great so far apart from performances and results and maybe Les is angry and frustrated at the good work being done behind the scenes not being replocated on the pitch.

The key word is evidence. No one is suggesting a criminal offence took place. What we do know is that greed or naivety or a combination of both caused JFH to walk in eyes wide shut, and offer services which were not congruent with his stated intention of 'giving 100%' to his employer. The evidence for that is there for all to see. In other words his probity, his credibility, is being called into question and rightly so.

I think Hoos is being mendacious with his response when asked why a suspension was not imposed pending an investigation. Suspension would have been fairer to all parties. Instead of which, watch the pressure build.

[nasser95]

True if you watch the video it does look like he's negotiating a bunt though

He actually asks them to send him a player

He doesn't though... they tell him, we'd love for you to sign a player from us and he says "as long as it's a good player, we'll take a look at him". Again, this is them trying to push to get everything possible out of it, they're making the first move to instigate this. Morally, I can't understand how they can do something like that.

Since when have the gutter press had morals?

It doesn't need to be "clear cut". The Allardyce situation wasn't clear cut but it was obvious he was entering into territory that he shouldn't have been and it was embarrassing for the FA so they got rid of him quickly.

We should really be doing the same!
