They will undoubtedly have an option for another year and if we don’t buy him will move him to another CFG club - they have a regular turnover of players moving between Troyes & Lommel for example whilst waiting for a buyer. |

His owner ultimately is City Football Group, so they won’t let him go for free |

Interesting to see what happens this summer at CB.
Cook has played enough games to be entitled to another year but word around Xmas was that he was sick of it all and ready to retire this summer.
As said previously, Southampton have a horribly bloated squad that will need extensive surgery this summer so there is a good chance Edwards will be available again if we can offer him gametime every week. |

I wouldn’t like to be your therapist Dave if you genuinely believe we’re still not safe. [Post edited 10 Apr 10:32]

Well nothing is certain at QPR, especially when the club is so prone to wild swings from triumph to disaster, often within a one week period, and driven entirely by fan sentiment.
Nourry wants him gone though and Cifuentes is quite happy to get away from him. People who know more than me believe that there is an agreement on a managed separation this summer, last I heard was that he would resign on his own terms. His agent spent the last international break on maneuvers with other clubs and it feels that it’s really just a case of who ‘wins’ the circumstances of the breakup. |

Cifuentes’ job interviews this summer will just be sitting the clubs down and showing them that game. A bunch of slop, who, whilst Oxford are extremely limited, were well drilled, knew their jobs and for the most part all got stuck in at a level missing in the last few weeks.
We were already safe (imo) but now everyone can hopefully relax. Delighted for Cifuentes that he could get such a nice send-off too. He has really fallen for our daft club. |

I see Derby have to play Pompey, Hull & Luton still and they make us look like sharpshooters on the goal scoring front, so realistically unless Luton pick up some very unexpected results, we have already done enough to limp pathetically over the line.
If anyone can fck it up from here though it’ll be these cnts. |

The universe probably needs Leeds to go up at this point. The ensuing chaos of Sky trying to have them and Wrexham as featured match every gameday would make Trump look like Gandhi. |

Fair enough, as said before I don’t think we are far away from each other on most things, I would just suggest that thinking Cifuentes is overawed by QPR and reticent to talk to North rather than working harder than the devil with his agent to get to the top flight is a tad naive. |

As a genuine offer Steve, I’ll happily get you a couple of decent tickets for Hammarby v Djurgården or AIK and let you see for yourself. |

I mean you’re the one suggesting that Cifuentes has simply wilted under the weight of the humorous QPR fanbase, having come directly from a club with a significantly bigger fanbase and who face at least 10 games a season with a more intense atmosphere and expectation than any game QPR are part of.
And even then, he made time to big himself up to friendly journos.
We’ve gotten to an absurdity level even Wes Anderson would want to tone down. [Post edited 8 Apr 20:08]

Hammarby average over 25k every week and have a long history of European football.
The idea that Cifuentes is now overwhelmed by managing the behemoth that is QPR and so now desperately hiding from North is so silly even Christian wouldn’t try and pass it off. |

Steve, if you believe that someone as ambitious, image conscious (and quite frankly, fond of talking about himself) as Cifuentes has been rejecting the chance to have his say - and discuss some things off the record - with someone like North i would offer you a lovely bridge in London. One female owner, FSH.
For all Cifuentes’ positives, he’s has never encountered a microphone he wouldn’t utilise.
Now your point that in 2025, every interview should have an organisation PR person onsite to step in is fully valid, but even that is not is not allowed here.
And Nourry is certainly not the first paranoid chief the club has had - everyone else though has seen the value in keeping a high profile fan/writer on side, rather than blacklisting them and having the talk of what you’re so worried about fester. |

Apologies for the slow reply Steve, I have my own 4 month old to wrangle! Whilst it feels rather weird to be discussing the managers kids re: something you were wrong about, in good faith I’ll answer - his kids were/are only toddlers, they don’t have to be in school at all, let alone full time in any Scandinavian country. |

I mean absolutely, you are certainly within your rights to believe that Cifuentes fell madly in love with a young danish benchwarmer while managing in Norway, pushed the club to blow a huge fee (for us) on getting him in and then refused to use him. It’s just a bit of a stretch is all I’m saying… |

I like the idea that Cifuentes was spending his off time trekking from his home in Catalonia to Jutland to watch a Superliga bench warmer as much as the next guy, but as Norf says, we are getting into the realms of fantasy now. |
