A win win deal for all parties - he gets to work near his home, we get a very well respected coach for however long he’s available and he stays in the ‘Retexo family’ so once he’s ready to go back we won’t stand in his way.
It should be invaluable for the likes of Morisson to get some quality time with such a respected coach. |

He was placed on gardening leave because they wanted rid of him and West Brom was a useful excuse.
West Brom approaching his agent was technically against the rules yes, just as it was against the rules when QPR spoke to Cifuentes whilst he was still Hammarby manager, and just as it’s against the goes for literally every transfer in world football where the buying club speaks to the agent first to ascertain interest before speaking the owner club. |

You think his agent just turned up at West Brom unannounced and demanded a talk?  |

Whilst obviously there is generally a disconnect between fans on forums and fans in the stands, it does seem that their fans generally acknowledge that starting on minus points, with any sellable talent gone and a likely transfer embargo, a mid table finish would represent a fine job.
But of course, it’s always in the hands of the match going fans. Their lineup for the first game of the season is surely going to be a shock to some of those. |

Without getting into the argument of whether he is good, bad or indifferent, his dad and Nourry don’t see eye to eye so it’s for the best that he moves on. |

Absolutely, pilot suicide is an extraordinary claim that will need extraordinary evidence to support it which I imagine is partly why the investigators haven’t outright stated it yet, also because it’s only the preliminary report so not so relevant yet.
What they have said though is that there was no fuel or mechanical issue and that someone, almost certainly the very experienced captain as he assigned himself PM for the flight, deliberately cut off the fuel at an unrecoverable height and actively denied it. |

The cutoff switch had to be pulled towards you and then down so that you can’t accidentally trigger them. There are also two, so you would need to repeat the action…

At the risk of being a stuck record again, it brings up the same question….Nourry went all hot and heavy that things are changing, QPR won’t be a crèche anymore and if you’re not close to the first team at 21 you’re gone.
They’ve then kept Aoraha, closer to 23 than 22, Talla and given a new contract to Petrie who all fail on that point and who are not only no closer to the first team than you or I, the club didn’t even think it was worth the new gaffer running an eye over them in pre-season…. |

I mean this is QPR who paid Hamalainen to go and play champions league football and then paid his replacement Larkeche to go and play in Scotland.
Pretty much the one constant in the past two decades is you’re better off out of the club |

They desperately need to raise funds too, so the likes of Vestergaard, Faes, Ndidi, Skipp, Winks, Coady will all have to go, plus the likes of McAteer so it’s going to be a real batten down the hatches and survive effort there. |

Done deal. Good result for all parties, we get a part of his payoff back to reinvest and assuming they’re starting/will take a large points deduction he should keep them up. |

Allegedly this is just him protecting his position. He told the club and players he wasn’t coming back and Textors takeover has progressed with this expectation - his assistant got a new deal to succeed him when it’s all announced. He’s now saying he’s staying so they have to pay him out once they pull the trigger. |

You’re missing the key point. Qpr getting some of the payoff back is good news and I’m sure supported by all fans.
However ultimately it makes 0 difference if MC pays a release or a new employer does except to the club who want to spin it as a success. Jeopardising that for the chance to say you ‘won’ by ‘only’ ending up paying out most of the contract rather then all of it is just pointless ego driven nonsense.
Get it sorted, get some money back, spend it strengthening the squad and be happy with the exciting new guy. |
