Yes, I think you're right, Essox. With a few of the DS squad in Spain, it would seem that a some of the U 18s would have played in the DS fixture and therefore we would have fielded a very young team in the U18 game. |

Amazing how many people can form opinions, that say more than disappointing result, when they haven't watched the game.😬😁 |

and I'm no expert but it seems that pushing the full backs high up the field, in this formation, which they are not used to, gave them space in the wide areas to exploit and cause havoc in our defence. |

That was a disastrous experimental line up and will have put a large dent in the confidence of all involved.
We now have to try and win the second half against what is hopefully a stronger X1 from us and a weaker one for them. |

How does that work? Doesn't their owner also own/have a shareholding in Olympiakos? |

I read those quotes and had the same reaction. Unfortunately, there was no response and therefore no mention of FFP or £2 million a month. |

I have the, unsubstantiated, impression that the £500k is a face saving gesture by our club and that the compensation figure in the contract that he signed last autumn was substantially higher. |

I think the actual day varies by area. I live by the coast and it's amazing how the seagulls know, flock to the locality and hoover up their annual feast. |

From what we read, the compensation fee was so high no one would pay it. Wednesday can't afford to replace him without it.
Potential owners probably keen on keeping him to give a little stability in a horrendous situation. |

Can't agree with your last statement.
Barton is in a completely different class to Richards. A twice convicted criminal and known trouble maker with a violent temper.
Whatever Richards problems are or have been, as far as we know, there is none of the above in his behaviour. |

I wasn't playing any card and I certainly wasn't trying to cancel other folk; I also don't believe what I have said in any way cancels my own opinion. I was simply putting a view that if he has mental health problems then it has to be handled sensitively, which it seems the club has complied with most of the time.
Maybe I didn't make the next bit clear enough, I was actually trying to say after being devoted to football, which he almost certainly must have been, it is hard to believe that suddenly he thinks nah I don't want to play the game anymore.
Yes we know there are people who 'swing the lead' but there are also countless examples of suicide and it is very arrogant of you to say that is irrelevant because it was more than forty years ago.
Yep, I know it has been a strain on the club's resources but there is little that anyone can do about that.
Btw I have never claimed to know anymore than anyone else about his mental health. Unlike you, who seem certain that he is ok and just taking the piss, in spite of everything that has been on here in the past including his mate being killed, possibly in front of him. |

Adding to what Jeff has said, as the original loyalty points and history seems to have been wiped and, although Box Office team have tried their best, you are dissatisfied with the outcome. Therefore, your only chance of a better solution is to move it up the chain of command to Chairman and CEO, Hoos and Noury. They are in positiond where discretion could be applied if they believe it fair to everyone. Make your best case, in writing, with whatever supporting evidence you may have.
Good luck. |

re:
'How do you know whether he's had mental health issues? Do you have access to his health records? What do you really know about it? Understand that when you pull out the "what do we really know" trump card, it applies to you too. Personally, I have eyes and a brain, and I'm not buying it.'
Well, obviously I don't have access to his medical records and am only going on what's been posted on here. I did include myself when I said who are WE?
If it's not mental health issues then wtf is it? Lad who spent his childhood devoted to football and has done so well he is initially signed up by City. Then decides, nah, I don't really want to do this.
I don't know what TRs condition is or symptoms are. My personal experience tells me that these things are very delicate.
Back in the 80's a guy who worked in my department had been forced to reapply for his position and had been unsuccessful. He then went on sick leave with 'depression'. He returned to work for a few weeks and he was a quiet guy, so nobody noticed anything unusual. Then, one day he didn't come back from lunch. Our manager had to identify his broken body.
Take from that what you will but, since then, I can't take mental health conditions lightly and tend towards the benefit of the doubt. |

I thought I had posted this yesterday but it seems to be lost so:
For me Gordon is in the pantheon of QPR greats with Stan, Rodney, Gerry, TV, Alec Stock, Dave Sexton, Les, Tony Ingham and Jim Gregory.
Thank you Gordon and R.I.P. |

I'm going against the grain here. The guy has had mental health issues. Who are we to judge that? What do we really know about it? He is still under contract and it would seem that there is no way to end that. I thought he did okay today, as good as most of them. Play him like any other squad member and pick him on form. JS has no history with him and he will pick the best team he can. Let's see where it takes us. Rule nothing in and rule nothing out at the moment. |
